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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
Konstruksi fundamental ekonomi islam; kontribusi untuk transformasi masyarakat
Pendekatan ekonomi konvensional yang berlebihan terhadap pemenuhan kepentingan pribadi (Self Interest), memang telah meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi dalam perekonomian di Dunia Barat. Tetapi dibalik keberhasilan ini, sesungguhnya mereka gagal mewujudkan aktualisasi visi sosial dan tujuan normatif lahirnya ilmu ekonomi. Dengan demikian, sebagai masyarakat yang mayoritas muslim, masyarakat dapat juga menggunakan pola ekonomi islam dalam menjalankan perekonomian. Islam pada hakikatnya merupakan panduan pokok bagi manusia untuk hidup dan kehidupannya
PENGELOLAAN PERAHU DI PELABUHAN KALIMAS TAHUN 1900 - 1942
Pengelolaan Perahu di Pelabuhan Kalimas Tahun 1900-1942 adalah fokus
pembahasan pada skripsi ini. Tujuan ditulisnya skripsi ini adalah untuk
mengetahui perkembangan dan penyusutan yang terjadi pada Pengelolaan Perahu
di Pelabuhan Kalimas Pada Tahun 1900-1942. Skripsi ini dibuat dengan
menerapkan metode sejarah yang terdiri dari 4 tahap, keempat tahap tersebut
adalah tahap heuristik, tahap kritik, tahap interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil dari
penulisan skripsi ini adalah perkembangan perekonomian kota Surabaya akibat
diterapkannya Undang-undang Gula dan Undang-undang Agraria pada tahun
1870 yang mana perkembangan ekonomi tersebut juga berimbas kepada semakin
ramainya kegiatan ekonomi di pelabuhan Kalimas dan munculnya perusahaanperusahaan
perahu di kota Surabaya yang berperan dalam pengelolan perahu yang
ada di kota Surabaya, dan jumlah perusahaan-perusahaan perahu tersebut juga
bertambah dari tahun ke tahun sampai tahun 1900-an. Namun tahun 1900-an juga
merupakan tahun-tahun kemunduran bagi pelabuhan Kalimas, hal tersebut
dikarenakan pemerintah kolonial Belanda membangun pelabuhan lain di kota
Surabaya, yaitu pelabuhan Tanjung Perak atau Pelabuhan Surabaya, pelabuhan
tersebut memiliki kapasitas yang lebih besar dari pelabuhan Kalimas, selain itu
juga berkembangnya pelabuhan-pelabuhan lama di kota-kota lain di Jawa Timur
juga ikut menyebabkan mundurnya pelabuhan Kalimas, kemudian juga terjadi
pendangkalan sungai Kalimas yang ikut memundurkan aktivitas ekonomi di
pelabuhan Kalimas, kemudian yang terakhir adalah terjadinya invasi Jepang
terhadap Hindi-Belanda, invasi tersebut membuat perekonomian kota Surbaya
menjadi hancur dan otomatis membuat pelabuhan Kalimas juga mengalami
kemunduran. kemunduran ekonomi yang dialami oleh kota Surabaya dan
kemunduran aktivitas ekonomi di pelabuhan Kalimas juga ikut mempengaruhi
aktivitas pengelolaan perahu di pelabuhan Kalimas
