    Balancing Author and Publisher Rights

    As open access gains momentum, more and more scholarly authors are trying to retain the rights they need to authorize open access. At the same time, many publishers continue to demand transfer of copyright and resist author demands to retain key rights. This article explores the possibility of a balance which gives each side the rights it needs

    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

    ANALISIS KONSISTENSI TABUNG CNG BAJA AISI 4130 KHUSUS KENDARAAN JENIS BIS BERDASARKAN ISO 11439

    Cylinder Steel CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), which is installed at bus operated in Indonesa and having pressure 200 bar or more, is becoming one of additional part to cause the vehicle system to be more dangerous. The analysis should be based on CNG ISO 11439 “High Pressure Cylinders of Natural Gas for Automotive Vehicle”. The space for CNG needs four times bigger than conventional fuel tank (diesel fuel), so that the analysis is intensely needed to optimized the benefit of cylinder for public transportation. The thesis studies the CNG for the bus including Design Optimation analysis of CNG, sample test of cylinder steel CNG type-1, material testing and initial study the possibilities for manufacturing the cylinder steel CNG in Indonesia. The research study concludes that the cylinder steel CNG type-1 made of seamless steel AISI 4130 fulfills ISO 11439 and can be used for public transportation or bus.Tabung bahan bakar Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) yang dipasang pada kendaraan bermotor jenis bis di Indonesia yang selanjutnya disebut Tabung CNG, mempunyai tekanan sampai 200 bar atau lebih menjadi komponen tambahan yang berbahaya pada system kendaraan bermotor, sehingga tabung harus selalu terjamin aman sesuai standar. Standar tabung CNG yang digunakan adalah ISO 11439, High Pressure Cylinders of Natural Gas for Automotive Vihicles. Ruang untuk tempat tabung CNG membutuhkan 4 kali lebih besar/luas dibandingkan dengan tempat tangka bahan bakar konvensonal (solar) didalam kendaraan yang ruangnya sangat terbatas, sehingga perlu analisis penggunaan tabung yang sesuai (optimum) untuk kendaraan jenis bis (angkutan masal/umum). Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan studi tentang tabung CNG untuk kendaraan bis, meliputi analisis Optimasi Desain tabung CNG, melakukan pengujian contoh tabung Cylinder Steel CNG type-1, pengujian material serta melakukan studi awal untuk kemungkinan dapat diproduksi didalam negeri dan proses perakitan tabung pada kendaraan bis. Dari hasil studi dibawah: tabung CNG tipe Cylinder Steel CNG type-1, terbuat dari bahan baja AISI 4130 tanpa sambungan yang cukup kuat tetapi berat dan sesuai standar internasional ISO 11439, dapat digunakan untuk kendaraan jenis bis angkutan masal dengan optimum

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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
