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
The English Pragmatic Competence of Indonesian English Speakers
Get PDFThe aim of the research were (1) to examine participants’ pragmatics competence toward English formal, neutral and formal request, (2) to find evidence of the participants’ lack of pragmatics competence toward various setting of English pragmatics situations.qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to analyze the result of the findings. English grammar competence test was given to determine the subjects’ grammar competence. The English pragmatic test was given to determine the subject’ competence on English pragmatic.the subjects of the research were grouped into 3 categories; group a, subjects whose English grammar competence are at basic level, group b, subjects whose English grammar competence are at intermediate level and group c, subjects whose English grammar competence are at advance level. Each group consists of 5 individuals, who have no prior information of the test model and the aims of the research. Ielts model test is administered before the pragmatic competence test, to groups the subjects of the research. There are 3 parts of the English pragmatic competence which researcher applied to determine the result of the research, (1) identifying formal, informal and neutral request utterances, (2) expressing willingness and unwillingness with reasons in using the utterances (3) answering appropriately to multiple questions.the result of the research shows different finding from each of the English grammar competence level. The research result unsurprisingly shows low level of pragmatics competence at intermediate and basic level of grammar competence. Different result showed at higher level whereas the relationship between grammar and pragmatic competence is strong
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
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
THE CORRELATION OF TOEFL TOWARD STUDENTS ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFThis study explains the correlation between the TOEFL preparation course to the improvement of the ability to speak in English of the students at UniversitasFajar Makassar. The result of this study is expected to answer the phenomenon between the ability to score at the TOEFL test and the ability to speak of the students in the TOEFL preparation course. This study is also expected to be able to produce a TOEFL preparation class teaching method which is more suitable for improving students' speaking ability. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach, using data in the form of numbers from each measurement instrument. This study analyzes data sets from two data collection instruments; TOEFL scores and Cambridge FCE speaking test scores, taken from the same group of study subjects. The data sets from both instruments are then compared to test the level of correlation. The data analysis and presentation are compiled based on statistical calculations using the correlation research analysis. The findings of this study indicate that the TOEFL score did not significantly correlate with the improvement in the speaking ability of the subjects. The results of the TOEFL training of study subjects with low / high scores did not show a significant increase in the ability to speak even though there was a linear relationship between the two pairs of the score. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini menjelaskan hubungan antara kursus persiapan TOEFL dengan peningkatan kemampuan berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris dari para siswa di Universitas Fajar Makassar. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjawab fenomena antara kemampuan untuk mendapatkan skor tinggi pada tes TOEFL dan kemampuan untuk berbicara siswa dalam kursus persiapan TOEFL. Penelitian ini juga diharapkan dapat menghasilkan metode pengajaran kelas persiapan TOEFL yang lebih mampu meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif, menggunakan data dalam bentuk angka dari masing-masing instrument pengukuran. Penelitian ini menganalisa kumpulan data dari dua instrument pengumpulan data; Skor TOEFL dan skor tes berbicara Cambridge FCE, diambil dari kelompok studi yang sama. Set data dari kedua instrument kemudian dibandingkan untuk menguji tingkat korelasinya. Analisis dan penyajian data disusun berdasarkan perhitungan statistic menggunakan analisis penelitian korelasional. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kursus persiapan peningkatan skor TOEFL tidak berkorelasi signifikan dengan peningkatan kemampuan berbicara siswa didik. Hasil pelatihan TOEFL dari subyek penelitian dengan skor rendah/ tinggi tidak menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam peningkatan kemampuan berbicara meskipun terdapat hubungan linier antara kedua variable pasang skor tersebut.Kata kunci: TOEFL, analisis statistik korelasi, koefisien korelas
