Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Semitau; Dari Hutan Menjadi Onderafdeling Pada Masa Penjajahan Belanda
Get PDFSemitau in 1936 was a part of Afdeling Sintang. This research aims to find out and explore the history of Semitau, which was originally a forest until finally it became an onder afdeling under the Afdeling Sintang area. The method used in this research is historical which consists of heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. The results of the research explain that Semitau before Abang Umar Juned's arrival was a forest. Semitau became even busier after the Dutch from Majang Island moved offices, barracks (dormitories) and warehouses and placed a Gouvernement representative, namely a Controleur, in Semitau until 1936 making it an under afdeling.Semitau pada tahun 1936 merupakan sebuah onder afdeling dari Afdeling Sintang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menggali sejarah Semitau yang pada awalnya merupakan sebuah hutan hingga akhirnya menjadi sebuah onder afdeling di bawah wilayah Afdeling Sintang. Metode yang di gunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah historis yang terdiri dari Heuristi, kritik, interpretasi dan historiografi. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan Semitau sebelum kedatangan Abang Umar Juned merupakan hutan. Semitau semakin ramai setelah Belanda dari Pulau Majang memindahkan kantor-kantor, tangsi-tangsi (asrama) dan gudang-gudang dan menempat seorang wakil Gouvernement yaitu seorang Controleur di Semitau hingga tahun 1936 menjadikannya menjadi onder afdeling
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
History and Culture of the Gado Dayak Community As a Source of Environmental-Based History Learning
Get PDFThe people of West Kalimantan make nature a buffer for the economy. The Gado Dayak community is one of the people who make nature be it forests, rivers, and fields as the fulfillment of life. Friendly nature management needs to be passed on to the younger generation through environmental-based history learning. This study aims to determine (1) the history of the Daya Gado Community in Landak Regency (2) Culture of the Gado Dayak Community (3) The historical potential of the Gado Dayak as a source of environmental-based history learning. The research method used is historical research which includes heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of the study explain that the history of the Dayak Gado community cannot be separated from the process of community migration due to natural disasters which finally made the Dayak Gado community separated into 3 Ketemenggungan. The shift of the Gado people from their initial place of refuge due to natural disasters made them separated but they still maintain the traditions of their ancestral heritage in the form of farming, hunting and finally the arrival of missionaries. The Capuchins who teach rubber plantations and the Chinese who teach the clearing of rice fields have changed the culture of cultivators to farmers to meet the rice needs of gold miners in the Monterado and Mandor areas. The history of the Gado Dayak community can be used as environmental-based history learning. The life of the Gado Dayak community can be used as a learning resource that is developed in junior high school through social studies subjects and high school through history subjects. The application of integrated learning models, such as in social studies subjects, can increase students' knowledge of environmental conditions so that they can be ready if something unexpected happens, such as a natural disaster
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
