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
Pengendalian Pemekaran Fisik Kota: Belajar Dari Pengalaman Kota Lexington-Fayette (Kentucky, A.S.) Dan Kota-kota Kecil Di Sekitarnya
Full text linkThis study focuses on the application of theories or concepts for managing urban physical growth applied to Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky and its surrounding towns. Two theories/concepts were employed by the city and towns i.e. Garden City of Tomorrow by Ebenezer Howard in 1902 and Urban Growth Boundaries. Efforts in managing the urban growth were supported by the whole community, especially the farm house owners. The farms became the green belt areas preventing the urban areas from expanding toward urban sprawl. Considering for applying this concept to Indonesian cities. it seems that for the time being, Indonesian local governments do not see the problem as their major issue. However, as the new Local Autonomy Act implemented in the future, there may be "rich" local governments in Indonesia who will be able to buy agriculture land and conserve them as barriers for urban expansion. Hopefully, urban sprawl may be prevented from happening in Indonesian major cities
Integrasi sistem informasi geografis dan sistem pakar ke sistem penunjang pembuatan keputusan untuk perencanaan kota (suatu kajian analitik)
Full text linkABSTRAK
Tulisan inmerupakan kajian analitik yang bertujuan menghasilkan usulan (hipotesis) Integrasi sistem informasi geografis (SIG) dan sistem pakar (SP) ke dalam kerangka sistem penunjang pembuatan keputusan (SPPK) untuk perencanaan kota. SPPK dipilih sebagai basis karena kecocokannya dengan sifat perencanaan kota yangmerupakan proses pengambilan keputusan semi terstruktur dan tidak terstruktur. Kesemistrukturan dan ketdakstrukturan ini disehabkan karena banyak hal lain yang dipertimbangkan di samping data kuantitatif misalnya pertimbangan sosial politis. SPPK mempunyai tiga sub-sistem yaitu : basis data. basis model. dan \u27pengelola dialoR. Dlain pihak. SIG mempunyapotensi untuk meningkatkan kemampulan hasis data dan SP mempunyai kemampuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pengambiian keputusan (yang pada SPPK dmotoroleh basis model). Pengintegrasian SIG ke SPPK terutama dilakukan dengan menghubllngkannya dengan subsistem basis data sedangkan SP akan memperkuat suhsistem basis model pada SPPK. Pengintegrasian. ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kemampuan SPPK baRperencanaan kota. Karena kajian ini bersifat analitik. maka disarankan untuk dilakllkan penelitian-penelitian untuk mencoba dan mengujian pengintegrasian ini
