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
Strategi Pengembangan Ekowisata Hutan Mangrove Di Pesisir Utara Kota Makassar
Full text linkEkowisata adalah salah satu kegiatan pariwisata yang mengutamakan aspek
konservasi alam, pemberdayaan masyarakat lokal dan pendidikan. Pemanfaatan
hutan mangrove untuk ekowisata mempunyai potensi keindahan alam dan
lingkungan berupa komponen penyusun ekosistem yang terdiri dari vegetasi, biota
atau organisme, dan satwa liar. Fungsi ekologi hutan mangrove adalah sebagai
habitat, daerah pemijahan, dan penyedia unsur hara. Fungsi lain dari hutan
mangrove adalah sebagai tempat penelitian, pendidikan, dan ekowisata.
pengembangan ekowisata merupakan kegiatan pariwisata yang melibatkan unsur
budaya dan alam yang mampu meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat dalam
menjaga dan melestarikannya.
Pengembangan ekowisata harus didasari dengan adanya sumberdaya manusia,
sarana prasarana wilayah seperti listrik, air bersih, jalan, dan lain sebagainya.,
serta kelembagaan yang terkait tentang kegiatan ekowisata baik pemerintah
maupun kelompok masyarakat lokal. Pengembangan pariwisataan di kota
Makassar saat ini mengalami peningkatan yang cukup tinggi. Pada tahun 2013
sampai dengan 2015 meningkat sekitar 16% wisatawan, baik dalam negeri
maupun luar negeri. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kota Makassar masih
memerlukan pengembangan ekowisata khususnya di sektor pesisir dan laut,
seperti hutan mangrove. Karena mengacu pada peraturan RTRW kota Makassar
tahun 2010-2030 yaitu pengembangan ekoturisme yang memanfaatkan fungsi
kawasan hutan mangrove untuk dikembangkan menjadi pariwisata berwawasan
lingkungan dengan melestarikan dan mengelola hutan mangrove khususnya di
pesisir Utara kota Makassar.
Kondisi lahan hutan mangrove di pesisir Utara kota Makassar secara umum
mengalami degradasi, seperti pengalihan fungsi lahan menjadi tambak,
permukiman, kawasan industri, jalan, dan lain sebagainya. Dengan perubahan
kondisi tersebut mengakibatkan kondisi lahan hutan mangrove mengalami
kerusakan setiap tahunnya. Kerusakan hutan mangrove yang terjadi setiap tahun
mengakibatkan banjir, abrasi dan rob (kenaikan muka air laut) yang disebabkan
oleh masyarakat lokal. Kesadaran dan apresiasi masyarakat terhadap upaya
pemeliharaan dan kelestarian hutan mangrove berdampak pada perlunya
pengembangan lahan hutan mangrove. Salah satu kegiatan yang tepat adalah
ekowisata yang berkelanjutan dan memperhatikan lingkungan yang lebih luas.
Metode yang digunakan yaitu menggabungkan metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif.xi
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pesisir Utara kota Makassar
memiliki potensi lahan hutan mangrove seperti berbagai macam jenis satwa
burung, ikan, reptil, kepiting, udang dan moluska. Pesisir Utara kota Makassar
memiliki 4 jenis vegetasi mangrove yaitu Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina,
Rhizophora mucronata dan Rhizophora apiculata. Hasil analisis kriteria
kesesuaian lahan ekowisata di kelurahan Untia termasuk dalam kategori sesuai
dengan skor 250 dan di kelurahan Bira dengan skor 259 termasuk dalam kategori
sesuai untuk pengembangan ekowisata hutan mangrove. Berdasarkan hasil
penilaian kriteria kelayakan dari aspek ekologi, sosial-ekonomi, dan sarana
prasarana penunjang kelurahan Untia mendapatkan nilai 74,0 dan kelurahan Bira
77,06 termasuk dalam kategori kelayakan layak untuk pengembangam ekowisata.
Strategi prioritas dalam pengembangan ekowisata di pesisir Utara kota Makassar
adalah desa nelayan di kelurahan Untia dan memanfaatkan serta melestarikan
hutan mangrove berada di kelurahan Bira. Sehingga kelurahan Untia dan Bira
sangat sesuai dan layak untuk pengembangan ekowisata hutan mangrove. Dan
program-program prioritas pengembangan ekowisata adalah permukiman
nelayan, wisata mangrove, pembudiyaan tambak sebagai wisata memancing dan
kuliner, penanaman bibit mangrove dan lain sebagainya
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
