Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Investigating the Causes of Willingness To Communicate in English Classroom Among Students at SMP Negeri 3 Jember
No full textCommunication is a skill that needs to be furnished over time. Tara and O'Hara (2008) argue that communication is neither a passive or predictable event. However, aside from the fact that most people acquired the ability to talk since they were born, not all people can communicate well unless they are committed into making special efforts to develop and refine this skill further (Ludlow & Panton, 1992). Beyond the classroom environment, there are no multilingual settings that demand students to use the English language, particularly in rural areas. Moreover, they have only little contact with the speakers of English in their environment. (Daming, 2003; Li, 1998). Thus, developing students’ willingness to communicate (WTC) is important to make students more frequent in using English within communicative activities. The extent of WTC that learners have would affect their performance in communicative activities and determine the result of their learning outcome. This research used a qualitative case study that investigated the causes of students’ WTC in English classroom environment. Through the qualitative case study, I can get thorough data that could give me a holistic understanding of students’ WTC causes. In getting the data, I used observation and interview methods. I developed the observation criteria and interview questions based on MacIntyre, et al (1998) WTC aspects in L2. I collected observation data to get the depiction of WTC aspects in students’ learning environment and choosing the 3 research participants. For the interview, I used it to get students’ WTC information from research participants’ (students) perspective and context participant’s (teacher) perspective. I chose students of a Junior High School in Jember as the school for me to get my research data. I analyzed the result from the interview and observation using content analysis that I adopted from Erlingsson & Brysiewic (2017). The procedures are analyzing the meaning units within the data texts, then turn them into condensed meaning units and,finally, those condensed meaning units would be coded then I can interpret the relevance of the finding to answer my research question. The result of this research showed that the causes of students’ WTC in classroom were divided into internal causes and external causes. For Internal causes, there are English-language confidence, self-perceived interpersonal relationship, and personality. On the other hand, the external causes are learning activities, lesson’s complexity, teacher’s classroom management, classroom facilities, peers' attitude, and lesson’s time placement. Internal causes come from the students themselves and those causes is difficult to alter as those causes are attached to students personally. However, external causes can be altered by the teacher as it comes from students’ surroundings. Thus, these two types of causes indeed have some extent of effect towards students’ willingness to communicate. The result of this research is hoped to provide meaningful contributions especially for the English teacher, and the other researchers. For English teachers, the results of this study can be applied when English teachers decided to make a more communicative learning activity because students’ WTC would be more likely to be higher as the WTC causes are taken into consideration. Moreover, for the other researchers, the result of this research can inspire other researchers to investigate the topic of willingness to communicate in different focus by employing different WTC theories or taking other research participants to gain more different result and, thus, fulfill the void of knowledge in WTC.Siti Masrifatul Fitriyah, S.Pd., M.A., Ph.D (Dosen Pembimbing I)

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
