    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    INDONESIA: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD) berbasis Problem Based Learning (PBL) pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila untuk meningkatkan literasi budaya dan kewargaan siswa kelas III di MIN Kota Blitar. Literasi budaya dan kewargaan merupakan salah satu dari enam literasi dasar yang perlu ditanamkan sejak dini. Berdasarkan temuan awal, rendahnya pemahaman siswa terhadap budaya Indonesia dan kewajibannya sebagai warga negara menjadi latar belakang pentingnya inovasi pembelajaran yang kontekstual dan aktif. Pengembangan media ini dilakukan dengan metode Research and Development (R&D) dan model pengembangan ADDIE yang terdiri dari lima tahap: analisis, desain, pengembangan, implementasi, dan evaluasi. Metode pengumpulan data terdiri dari wawancara, observasi dan angket. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan uji kelayakan produk dan uji normalitas (N-Gain). Hasil validasi dari ahli materi, media, dan pembelajaran menunjukkan bahwa LKPD yang dikembangkan sangat layak digunakan. Hasil validasi ahli materi sebesar 87,5%, hasil validasi ahli media sebesar 97% dan hasil validasi ahli pembelajaran sebesar 100%, hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa LKPD termasuk kategori sangat valid. Hasil uji efektivitas pretest dan posttest meningkat dari 72,96` menjadi 99,25, hal ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman siswa terhadap literasi budaya dan kewargaan. Dengan demikian, LKPD berbasis PBL ini terbukti efektif sebagai media pembelajaran yang inovatif, menarik, dan relevan dengan kebutuhan siswa dalam membentuk karakter dan identitas kebangsaan. ENGLISH: This study aims to develop Student Worksheets (LKPD) based on Problem Based Learning (PBL) in the subject of Pancasila Education to enhance cultural and citizenship literacy among third-grade students at MIN Kota Blitar. Cultural and citizenship literacy is one of the six basic literacies that need to be instilled from an early age. Based on initial findings, the low understanding of students regarding Indonesian culture and their obligations as citizens highlights the importance of contextual and active learning innovations. The development of this media was conducted using the Research and Development (R&D) method and the ADDIE development model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data collection methods included interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using product feasibility tests and normality tests (N-Gain). The validation results from material, media, and learning experts indicate that the developed LKPD is very feasible to use. The validation result from the material expert was 87.5, the media expert was 97, and the learning expert was 100, indicating that the LKPD falls into the very valid category. The effectiveness test results from the pretest and posttest increased from 72.96 to 99.25, showing a significant improvement in students' understanding of cultural and citizenship literacy. Thus, this PBL-based LKPD has proven to be an effective innovative learning media that is engaging and relevant to students' needs in shaping character and national identity.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
