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
Cake lapis cheese / Muhammad Razif Ali
Get PDFMany individuals believe that it takes a lot of money to start a business. However, this view is not entirely correct. Capital is no longer an issue in today’s world of advanced technology. What matters is that you have a strong desire to establish and grow the business you want to manage. Mental and physical preparation is essential to start the business you want to run. When COVID-19 hit the entire planet, not only were human lives affected, but most businesses were also affected because they were unable to open or conduct their normal commercial operations. Some go bankrupt, while others choose to close their stores or hybrid businesses and try their luck in other ventures. So from the observations I made throughout running the Cake Lapis Cheese business, I have concluded that this business is very profitable for me because the demand for Cake Lapis Cheese is very high around Malaysia and even abroad such as Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. This is because, Sarawak Cheese Layer Cake has its own uniqueness and taste. Iftourists want to go to Sarawak, they must buy Cake Lapis to take home. There aremany vendors and shops that sell Kek Lapis such as Mira Cake House. Hasni Cake House and many more but not many can offer affordable prices and different recipes. As in this pandemic, we know that people are scared and can't go out or shop as usual because covid cases are on the rise. However, through this hybrid business method that I run. the community or customers can buy online or face to face. Even so, I can learn a lot of knowledge in the field of business with well -known entrepreneurs as well as try to develop my business to be better known by all walks of life. Therefore, good communication with customers is very important so that customers are comfortable and continue to buy with us. So, take good value to stay on pea
Development and analysis of lab scaled machine for 3D concrete printing
Get PDFApplication of 3D concrete printing can contribute to the future enhancement of construction industries. The fundamental objective of the study is to enable users to print concrete into three-dimensional model constructions by modifying and improving the open-source FDM 3D printer. During the development additional testing of a laboratory-scale 3D concrete paste printer that uses a syringe-type extruder was developed. The structure generated by the newly designed 3D concrete paste printer can be analyzed by applying the Taguchi method. Modification and analysis of open-source software for the 3D printer used for printing purposes with concrete paste produces result appropriate ratio of water concrete and corn flour. This is to produce concrete mixture in 3D Print that allowed for the construction of a concrete structure. The development of a prototype 3D printer for concrete structures was fabricated. Various design was analysed to verify their appropriateness and efficacy for the designed 3D Printer. The 3D printer was modified for concrete materials rather than plastic printing, which requires additional time, expense, and creativity on the user's part to do the post-processing. Analysis on 3D printed material was made and it was found that there is significant changes compared to the CAD. This is may be due to the unsuitable mixture and composition. Modification of the 3D printer requires further study on the optimum composition of the material mixture. Normal composition of concrete used in conventional process may not suitable to be used directly for 3D concrete printing due to the nature of the process
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
