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
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
臺灣地區公共圖書館推展成人教育活動之研究
No full text[[abstract]]本研究主要探討以下諸問題：公共圖書館在推展成人教育活動方面所承擔之任務角色
與發展理念、公共圖書館推展成人教育活動李應有之條件及其作法、分析現今台灣地
區公共圖書館推展成人教育活動之現況及其問題，提出可行之建議以作為規劃公共圖
書館推展成人教育活動之參考。
為達成以上目的，本研究采用文獻分析及問卷調查兩種方法次第進行。並自編有：「
台灣地區公共圖書館推展成人教育活動調查問卷」、「公共圖書館館員推展成人教育
活動意見調查問卷」、「台灣地區公共圖書館推展成人教育活動種類分析調查」等三
種問卷分別函請各公共圖書館、公共圖書館館員及圖書館學專家學者填寫。
本研究之調查發現有：
一、整體而言，台灣地區公共圖書館員推展成人教育活動理念分析，在認知、情感方
面多持正面肯定之態度。
二、根據調查結果，現今台灣地區公共圖書館在推展成人教育活動方面有以下諸特性
：
1.各類型公共圖書館是否辦理各項成人教育活動，有相當顯著之差異。
2.圖書館是主辦單位者之情形多於是協辦單位情形者。
3.運用館藏資料配合推展成人教育活動者不足四分之一比例。
4.台灣地區公共圖書館最常辦理之成人教育活動項目多屬初、中級層次。
5.各類型公共圖書館未辦理各項成人教育活動之原因除人員、經費外，各不相同。
三、推展成人教育活動館員應具備之知能分析，重視專業之精神與態度的培養甚於專
業知能之訓練。
四、台灣地區公共圖書館推展成人教育活動最大之困難仍為人員、經費不足。
綜合文獻分析及調查發現，有以下建議：
一、政策性之配合
二、公共圖書館本身應有之作為
三、專業組織之協助
四、人才之培訓
五、相關條件之配合
台北市國民中學教師利用學校圖書館現況及其相關因素之研究
No full text[[abstract]]本研究的主要目的有五：1.膫解現代學校圖書館的功能與角色，以及應對教師提供的
服務項目。2.膫解台北市國民中學教師利用學校圖書館的現況。3.膫解台北市國民中
學教師對圖書資料利用的狀況。4.探討影響國中教師利用圖書館的相關因素。5.根據
研究所得提出改進學校圖書館的具體建議。
研究方法，以問卷調查法為主，輔以文獻分析法。共調查台北市十七所國中的圖書館
現有設施；及600 位教師對學校圖書館的利用情形。將所得的資料，進行統計分析後
，獲致下列幾項主要發現：
(一)國中學校圖書館的館藏不足、館舍不合規定、管理人員專業素養不足。
(二)教師對學校圖書館的利用率不同，僅有不到三成的教師每個月的利用次數在五次
以上。而其原因有三：1.教師對學校圖書館的參考服務不滿意, 2.館藏資料不能符合
教師所需, 3.教師習慣自己購書。
(三)教師利用學校圖書館的目的, 非以教學為主。
(四)教師認為教學上需要利用圖書館。
(五)在圖書資料利用狀況上: 男性閱讀時間較女性多; 年齡愈大、任教年資愈久者，
其購書數量、訂閱期刊份數也愈多；年齡愈大閱讀時間也較多；研究所肄業與研究所
畢業者的藏書數量較大學程度者多；擔任科目不同，藏書數量與訂閱期刊份數也隨之
不同。
(六)教師利用圖書館的頻率不因性別、職務、年齡、教育程度、任教年資與及擔任科
目而有不同；但藏書數量、訂閱期刊份數、閱讀時間愈多，利用圖書館的頻率也愈高
。
(七)教師較少利用圖書館的因素：男性、29歲以下者、任教年資10年以下者是因學校
圖書館較不方便；職務是專任教師及導師、年齡在34歲以下者、任教科目是藝能、數
理、社會三科者則是對圖書館資料較不滿意；45歲以上者、任教年資在20-24 年者、
任教科目是藝能、生健、社會三科者是因較無時間；研究所肄業者對環境設施較不滿
意；藝能、數理、活動三科則認為教學上較不需要利用圖書館。
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
