Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
iSpring Suite-Based Interactive Multimedia Development For Class V Volume Material Cube and Beam
No full textThe lack of variety in the use of media in learning can make students bored and learning becomes monotonous. Teachers still use teacher books, student books and learning media in the form of building spaces made of paper where the media is easily damaged. In fact, the use of the right media in the learning process can create a fun classroom atmosphere, so that students become active, creative, effective and get meaningful learning. The facilities provided by the school are also quite complete such as; Projectors, laptops as well as speakers and microphones are only used to the maximum. To maximize these facilities, the researcher wants to develop an interactive multimedia based on the iSpring Suite which aims to improve the learning outcomes of class V students of cube and block volume materials. This research method uses R&D research with the Borg and Gall development model consisting of 10 steps, but in its implementation the researcher only reaches the 8th step. The media created is then tested by material and media experts. The validation test was obtained as a result of the assessment according to material experts of 91.07% (very feasible) and according to media experts of 82.5% (feasible). In addition, after being used in learning, this media showed a significance result on the T-test of 23,723 and the N-gain test obtained a result of 0.7555 which was included in the high criterion. Based on the results of the study, it is shown that the use of interactive multimedia based on iSpring Suite is effectively used to improve student learning outcomes
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Smart apps creator-based media to enhance addition and subtraction learning outcomes
No full textPurpose: This study aims to develop, validate, and evaluate an interactive learning media based on Smart Apps Creator (SAC) to improve second-grade elementary students’ learning outcomes in addition and subtraction.
Method: A Research and Development (R&D) approach was applied using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The media was implemented in a real classroom setting involving 29 second-grade students from SD Labschool UNNES. Data were collected through expert validation, pretest-posttest assessments, and student-teacher response questionnaires. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis.
Findings: The SAC-based media achieved high feasibility ratings from both media (92.6%) and material (89.2%) experts. Student and teacher responses rated the media as “very feasible.” Statistically significant improvements were observed between pretest and posttest results (p < .001), with a high N-Gain score of 0.79. These results indicate that the media effectively enhanced students’ mastery of addition and subtraction.
Significance: This study provides empirical evidence supporting the use of SAC-based interactive learning media as an effective tool for early mathematics instruction. The media not only improves cognitive outcomes but also promotes engagement and motivation among young learners. These findings underscore the potential of SAC-based tools to enrich classroom instruction and contribute to the advancement of technology-integrated learning in elementary education

No full textThis study aims to describe the implementation of character education through Semarbowo at SDN Tambakaji 03 and its problems. The research method is descriptive qualitative. Data analysis includes four flows, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Primary data sources are fifth grade teachers and principals and secondary data sources are fifth grade students of SDN Tambakaji 03. The results showed how to implement character education through Semarbowo, among others: 1) communicating using Javanese language by all school members every Thursday, 2) kissing the hands of teachers at the school gate while saying "wilujeng enjang", 3) cultural habituation of bowing when passing older people while saying "nuwun sewu", 4) creating group discussion-based learning, 5) integrating Semarbowo in the P5 work title, 6) habituation of Javanese language in tembang dolanan and poetry in learning, 7) literacy of Javanese folklore, 8) giving examples to students how to behave according to Javanese ethics. Problems found, namely: 1) students are not accustomed to communicating using Javanese, 2) lack of parental involvement in the use of Javanese at home.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan implementasi pendidikan karakter melalui Semarbowo di SDN Tambakaji 03 dan problematikanya.

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
