2.2 Data Mining in Authorship Collaboration
Nowadays, data mining in authorship collaboration gaining interest and demand among the researchers. Data mining techniques have been applied successfully in many areas from traditional areas such as business and science (Fu, 1997). A lot of organizations now employ data mining as a secret weapon to keep or gain competitive edge. The application of data mining techniques is becoming increasingly important in modern organizations that seek to utilize the knowledge that is embedded in the mass organizational data to improve efficiency, effectiveness and competitiveness (Akkaya & Uzar, 2011). Data mining is able to uncover hidden patterns and relationship among the academicians in the higher education

Previous research works have focused on defining elements such as network structure and typology that are meaningful to be analysed within these networks. Authorship collaboration (co-authorship) network includes research analytics (Rachela & Hu, 2010; Nikzad et al., 2011). Research analytic is a research field that utilizes mathematical and algorithmic methods for analysing the way research takes place and it can provide meaningful data for researchers (Harmelen & Workman, 2012). Research analytics are also used for analysing research collaboration towards identifying meaningful patterns and …show more content…
In addition, SNA is the quantitative analysis method applied and related to the study of social relationship especially in authorship collaboration studies. Meanwhile, Cheong & Corbitt (2009) describes SNA is helping to gain an understanding of the nodes (co-authors) and relationships (those who wrote a paper together) in the co-authorship network that consists of structural dimension (centrality) and relational dimension (tie strength). Structural dimension includes the number of relations within a network; the relative access to information each network actor has and the centrality of each network actor (Wise, 2012) while relational dimension governs relationships between individual actors in a network which is measure of tie strength. The findings of the study will be used in determine the links and relationship of the academicians toward improving the quality of
Question 1 Material facts before appeal hearing George David Lindsay (the appellant) claimed that an informal (handwritten) document of five pages, uncovered sometime after 17 June 2013, was the last will of Nora Priscilla Lindsay (the deceased). Heather Dawn McGrath (respondent) contested that the informal document found did not constitute a will. The original matter was heard in the Supreme Court of Brisbane in 2013, and decided on 4 September 2014.
Social media has created the popularity of many meaningless relationships diminishing the number of true connections among people. The author used the point-by-point organizational style for her essay. This can be seen the clearest in paragraphs
Connectors like Revere and Yusuf share social qualities that allows a phrase, an idea, to spread through their social status and large
All throughout America, individuals are taught at a young age that police officers are always the “good guys.” Police officers are painted to be trustworthy, honorable, and advocates of justice. This idea is often displayed in the media through television shows, movies, and news specials. For some, this idea still holds truth, however there are many, particularly individuals of color, whom would quickly disagree. Numerous persons of color have been subjected to racial profiling by officers resulting in stops, searches, and false accusation of crimes.
An individual may play a stronger role in one network than in another. An example of this would be an authority figure which
People connect through many different types of social media. With social media, you may be friends with or follow people that you don’t know personally. Someone that you don’t know personally is called a “weak tie”. In the short story, “I’m So Totally, Digitally, Close to You” written by Clive Thompson describes what weak ties are and how we use them in our everyday lives. Weak ties are an important part of today’s society because it helps connect people, it gives them a bigger social circle, and it expands their ability to solve problems.
Although researchers have tried to defined friendship simply focused on the differences between friends and non-friends, Willard Hartup (1996) cited in Brownlow (2012, p. 239) argues that a whole range of relationship is possible from best friend to good friend to occasional friend to non-friend. Therefore, it is far more complex than just a definition between friends and non-friends. Now that friendship is defined it is essential to define and understand qualitative approach. Unlike a quantitative data, qualitative method or approach involves the analysis of talk, interview material and written text such as transcripts, newspaper diaries or articles and it does not use any measurements nor is in numerical form.
Semiotic analysis of these relationships would include concepts of both opposition and paradigmatic relationships. Opposition in the case would be the relationship
For me this journal entry feels a bit strange because it’s a trip down memory lane due to the fact I graduated high-school twenty-five years ago. Typically the students in my high school were between the ages of 14 to 19 with those in special education classes being allowed to attend until the age of 22 as it is governed by the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In contrast, students attending college range from the approximate age of 14 to over 65 and beyond because learning has no age provisos. Dual enrollment lets children enter college at a much younger age that when I was in high school. As a result some of my very young family members and children of my friends are attending college at the same time as I am, therefore
They believe under the wrong impression that writings which incorporate topics like “Plato, Shakespeare, the French Revolution, and nuclear fission” are the only sources of scholarly work. Graff emphasizes the nonexistent linkage between the subject of the paper and the educational value that society has mistakenly thought to exist. Instead, that truly defines the educational weight is the writer’s own stake into the writing of any topic. Graff asserts that the individual’s own interest and devotion to analyzing and offering his or her own viewpoint is what produces scholarly work and having intellectual discussions. In his experience in the sports world, his dedication to staying aware of the “arguments, debates, problems for analysis, and intricate statistics” has allowed for more intellectual discussions than what can be had at
Intercommunication is an integral part of discourse communities since it allows people in an identical profession to communicate
Categories were formulated into three main categories (Table 1). In the last phase of the analyzing process, the latent theme was created from a deeper interpretation of the underlying meaning of the subcategories and categories. The data was managed using software
Powell's (1990) analysis of the sociological and economic literatures on exchange suggests that transactions can take place through loose collections of individuals who maintain impersonal and constantly shifting exchange lies, as in markets, or through stable networks of exchange partners who maintain close social relationships. The key distinction between these systems is the structure and quality of exchange ties, because these factors shape expectations and opportunities. Brain Uzzi found that most ties between firms were arms-length (i.e., they were greater in frequency) but they were of much lesser significant than the closer, "special", embedded ties.
Daniel Riff introduced in his book the major definition and compiled their aspects into his own. He says: “Quantitative content analysis is the systematic and replicable examination of symbols of communication, which have been assigned numeric values according to valid measurement rules, and the analysis of relationships involving those values using statistical methods, to describe the communication, draw inferences about its meaning, or infer from the communication
Conversation analysis ( abbreviated CA) has a crucial importance in daily life of people communication. Conversation analysis studies both formal and non-formal exchanges talks among people, it also studies verbal and non-verbal action. McCarthy et al. (2002: 60-61) state that conversation analysis “ is concerned with the detailed organization of everyday conversation”. As to Crystal (1997:75) defines conversation analysis as "a term used in linguistics and associated discipline to refer to a method of studying the sequential and coherence of conversations ( in their everyday sense) usually employing the techniques of ethnomethodology".
