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
The comparison of efficiency between conventional sickle and inertial sickle: case study at Felcra Bukit Sedanan Berhad / Muhammad Fadhli Ahmad
Get PDFOil palm tree also known as Elaeis guineensis was originated from the West Africa. In Malaysia, Malaysian’s agriculture sector helping grower and processor to ease inflation by growing GDP of oil palm sector. After that, it also want to increase the performance in downstream industries such as food and edible oil processing (Kuncinas, P., 2017). In oil palm harvesting process, chisel and sickle is the main equipment. Nowadays, there are so many improvement of sickles has been done to make harvesting process easier. One of innovation has been done by UiTM which is inertial sickle. To prove inertial sickle is efficient than conventional sickle, this study was done to know about the efficiency for inertial sickle and to compare the efficiency using conventional sickle and inertial sickle. The data collection methods
used in this study are face to face interview and experimental data. Experimental data was taken by using Polar RS800CX to get data of time, energy (K cal), average of heart rate (bpm) and numbers of heartbeat (beats) for workers at Felcra. The samples of worker is 13 persons total number of workers. The oil palm trees used in this study are having the average age of 10 years old. As the results were analyzed, it showed that there is a significant difference in the performance of inertial sickle and conventional sickle in term of time, average of heart rate and numbers of heartbeat because mean of inertial sickle was lesser compared conventional sickle. It showed that the performance of inertial sickle is better compared to conventional sickle. From the study, it can be conclude that the inertial sickle is far better in terms of performance but it is recommended that there are some improvements on the sickle need to be done especially in the blade aspects and spring cover
The relationship between homestay activities, tourist satisfaction and post-behavioural intentions: a case of Kuala Medang homestay / Muhammad Fadhli Ahmad
Get PDFHomestay programme in Malaysia is comprised of various ecotourism packages, offering agrotourism, nature-tourism and/or cultural-tourism activities. However, homestay hosts need to improve its activities in order to attract more tourists in the future. There has been a stable decrease in the number of homestay tourist arrivals in Kuala Medang, which is chosen as the setting of this study. A questionnaire was developed to examine tourists’ perception, preference and satisfaction level toward the homestay activities and how it affected post behavioural intentions. A convenient sample of 346 local and international tourists were surveyed and the results showed majority of them were satisfied with the homestay activities which led to positive post behavioural intentions. Activities which tourists most enjoyed were also identified in the findings
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
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
