    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    No full text
    “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

    No full text
    We 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 assessment of users' satisfaction towards the interior design quality of inpatient units at public tertiary hospitals in Malaysia: a mixed-methods study / Shariffah Syafiqah Aljunid Syed Mohamed Aljunid

    The physical environment of healthcare facilities has a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of the users. A pleasant and positive environment is proven to support recovery process, reduce stress and most importantly, improve satisfaction. A hospital building is designed and built primarily to meet the needs and desires of its users, especially those of the inpatient units, which takes up the majority of the hospital area and are where patients spend the most time to recover. This research aims to determine the users' satisfaction level towards the interior design quality of the inpatient units in Malaysian public hospitals within the Klang Valley region. A total of 1,373 respondents comprised of 473 patients, 399 staff and 501 visitors from 17 inpatient units of Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist department participated in the questionnaire surveys to measure the users' satisfaction level and identify the influencing factors. Then, as a follow up to the questionnaire survey, the current physical condition of the inpatient units was assessed as case studies by conducting semi-structured interviews with 29 patients, 27 staff and 17 visitors and on-site observations based on the variables that were found to be significant to the users' satisfaction level as themes. At the end of the analysis, data triangulation was performed to trace any discrepancies between the two methodologies. The findings from the questionnaire survey revealed patients as the most satisfied group (mean=3.82) on overall interior design quality, followed by visitors (mean=3.73) and staff (mean=3.61). The research further revealed that space planning, materials and finishes, air quality and privacy have a significant influence on the users' satisfaction, in addition to the users' type, education level, and visit frequency. The case study findings provided evidence that successfully described the inpatient units' existing physical state as satisfactory, validating the grounds for the questionnaire survey results. In summary, this research represents an attempt to support the importance of the physical environment in fostering hospital users’ satisfaction. It demonstrates significant progress in understanding the current situation of the country's healthcare facilities, especially in the light of quality in interior design, while providing information that will hopefully inspire professionals to design better inpatient units in the future

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    To (start with) Oop, or Not Oop : that is not the question* / Syed Ahmad Aljunid

    Lately, in UiTM, there has been a hue and cry against starting programming course with object-oriented programming (OOP), and opting to get back to the procedural paradigm first. This paper is an attempt to dismiss these notions. It argues that the wrong question has been asked. That problem is trivial. Instead, the more pressing question is: "How, in the present state of rapidly changing and expanding IT field, can we effectively teach fundamental programming principles and computer problem solving methodology without clouding the students with syntax and nontransparent tools?" Another related question is "How can we make programming attractive to the new students?" Essentially, it is not the question of when, but how. And what too. In short, we should actually revise our programming pedagogy thoroughly as well as review our programming curriculum. We present our case based on the successful implementation of the minimalist cum black box cum 4-stage approaches in introducing OOP to beginners of programming in various institutions Our solution nevertheless takes into consideration our own background and constraints
