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
Olahraga sebagai Sarana Pemersatu Bangsa dan Upaya Perdamaian Dunia [Sports as an Instrument of Unifying a Nation and Achieving World Peace]
No full textAs part of a national development benchmark, sports can play an important role as a means of unifying a nation. The sports achievements of a nation can foster a nation's spirit of nationalism. Values in sports, such as discipline, sportsmanship, unyielding nature, cooperative spirit, mutual respect, courage to make decisions, loyalty, pride, and honor, also help a nation’s spirit of unity. The world’s great nations are nations with great sporting achievements. In addition, sports can be used as a means of promoting world peace by building a sense of shared identity, including creating friendships among groups that would otherwise have a tendency to threaten each other with mistrust, hostility, and violence. This paper will focus on answering two issues, namely how sports are used as a means of unifying a nation and how sports can play a role in world peace efforts.BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: Sebagai bagian dari tolak ukur pembangunan nasional, olahraga dapat berperan penting sebagai sarana pemersatu bangsa. Prestasi olahraga suatu bangsa dapat memupuk semangat nasionalisme bangsa tersebut. Nilai-nilai dalam olahraga, seperti kedisiplinan, sportifitas, sifat pantang menyerah, semangat bekerjasama, saling menghargai, berani mengambil keputusan, kesetiaan, kebanggaan, dan kehormatan, serta membantu semangat persatuan dan kesatuan sebuah bangsa. Bangsa-bangsa besar di dunia ini adalah bangsa yang memiliki prestasi olahraga yang besar pula. Selain itu, olahraga dapat digunakan sebagai sarana promosi perdamaian dunia, dengan membangun rasa identitas bersama, termasuk menciptakan persahabatan diantara kelompok-kelompok, yang jika tidak akan memiliki kecenderungan untuk mengancam satu sama lain dengan ketidakpercayaan, permusuhan, sampai kekerasan. Tulisan ini akan fokus untuk menjawab dua masalah, yaitu bagaimana olahraga digunakan sebagai sarana pemersatu bangsa dan bagaimana olahraga dapat berperan dalam upaya-upaya perdamaian dunia
Analisis Implementasi Birokrasi Ideal Weber Pada Biro Sekretariat Pimpinan Sekretariat Jenderal Dewan Perwakilan Daerah
No full textThis study analyzes the implementation of Max Weber's ideal bureaucracy in the Bureau of Headship within the Secretariat General of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) of the Republic of Indonesia. Weber defines ideal bureaucracy as an organizational system governed by five core principles: legal-rational authority, hierarchical structure, technical competence, impersonality, and a merit-based career system. This research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing literature review, direct qualitative observation, and in-depth interviews with three informants: two civil servants from the DPD Secretariat (one an IPDN graduate, the other a non-IPDN official), and a governance scholar. The findings reveal that efficiency and rationality are generally well-applied through structured task distribution and formal procedures. However, patron-client relationships among IPDN alumni pose challenges to impersonality and meritocracy. To enhance the validity of the findings, data triangulation was conducted through cross-verification of interviews, field observations, and official bureaucratic documents. Strengthening reform through transparent recruitment, performance-based promotion, and institutional oversight is essential. With these measures, the Bureau of Headship has the potential to become a model of effective, accountable, and professional governance within Indonesia’s public sector.Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan birokrasi ideal Max Weber di Biro Kesekretariatan Pimpinan pada Sekretariat Jenderal Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (DPD) Republik Indonesia. Teori birokrasi Weber, yang menekankan pada hierarki, pembagian tugas, dan rasionalitas, menjadi kerangka analisis utama, didukung oleh metode kualitatif melalui studi literatur, observasi, dan wawancara. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa birokrasi ideal sebagian besar telah diterapkan dalam hal efisiensi dan rasionalitas, di mana pembagian tugas dan prosedur pengambilan keputusan mengikuti aturan formal yang jelas. Struktur hierarki yang terorganisasi memastikan bahwa kewenangan dan tanggung jawab terdistribusi dengan baik, sehingga meminimalkan ambiguitas dalam pelaksanaan tugas. Namun, keberadaan hubungan patron-klien yang berbasis alumni IPDN menciptakan tantangan terhadap prinsip impersonalisme dan meritokrasi. Hubungan ini, meskipun memperkuat koordinasi internal dan membentuk jaringan informal, dapat menyebabkan favoritisme dan melemahkan standar profesional jika tidak dikelola dengan baik. Selain itu, hubungan ini berpotensi menciptakan ketergantungan yang mengikis objektivitas yang seharusnya dijunjung dalam sistem birokrasi. Kesimpulannya, meskipun prinsip birokrasi ideal Weber telah diterapkan dengan baik, fenomena patron-klien perlu ditangani melalui reformasi birokrasi yang menekankan meritokrasi, pengawasan yang ketat, proses rekrutmen yang transparan, dan penguatan kompetensi teknis di kalangan pejabat. Dengan langkah-langkah tersebut, Biro Kesekretariatan Pimpinan dapat menjadi model berkelanjutan bagi tata kelola yang efektif, akuntabel, dan profesional di sektor publik Indonesia.
 
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
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
