    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

    Ergonomics is an important thing that must be considered in the world of work, because it can affect the health and productivity of a worker. Work physiology is a branch of ergonomics that focuses on measuring the energy expended or energy consumed by humans. UKM Makaroni dan Kerupuk DO'A IBU is a business that was established in 2003 by producing various kinds of macaroni and crackers. Production activities in this business start from the frying section to the packaging, which is done manually and continuously. Research conducted at the UKM Makaroni dan Kerupuk DO'A IBU aims to reduce the physical workload by classifying the categories of physical workload, and calculating energy consumption. The method used is 10 beats, energy consumption, and CVL. The measurement of energy consumption is 7.08 kcal/minute (moderate work), while in the packaging section it is 4.14 kcal/minute (light work). The CVL measurement yields a value of 43.6% (needs improvement), while in the packaging section it is 17.5% (no fatigue) so there is no need for improvement

    Pabrik industri olahan rotan PT XYZ merupakan salah satu pabrik industri rotan yang berdiri sejak tahun 2000, dengan fokus pada salah satu rangkaian produksi produk rotan yaitu finishing. Tata letak pabrik saat ini belum terorganisir dengan sistematik dan belum ada perancangan khusus didalamnya. Hal ini tergambar pada terdapatnya cross movement, laju backtracking, tingginya ongkos material handling,dan juga terlalu jauh jarak antar departemen yang berkaitan langsung secara aliran proses produksi. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk melakukan perancangan ulang terhadap tata letak pabrik untuk mendapatkan ongkos material handling dan jarak perpindahan material yang lebih minimum, pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode Systematic Layout Planning (SLP). Akan diusulkan tata letak yang dapat memangkas ongkos material handling lebih minim dan jarak perpindahan barang lebih dekat dengan tidak adanya masalah dalam aliran proses. Hasil penelitian ini didapat layout usulan baru yang memiliki ongkos material handling Rp1.183.614 per minggu dengan pengurangan nilai sebesar Rp476.906 atau 28,72% dan tidak terdapat masalah

    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
