    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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” 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

    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

    Laporan ini membahas mengenai bentuk haluan lambung kapal selam yang menghasilkan hambatan minimum. Hambatan merupakan parameter penting dalam desain bentuk suatu kapal selam. Hambatan berhubungan erat dengan operasional suatu kapal selam, yang nantinya mempengaruhi kebutuhan tenaganya. Dalam laporan ini studi pada bentuk lambung kapal selam difokuskan pada bentuk lambung polos, tanpa bangunan tambahan. Pendekatand desain yang sudah teruji berfokus pada teardrop shape dan cylinder middle body. Permodelan bentuk lambung kapal selam terbagi menjadi tiga : haluan, lambung paralel dan buritan. Laporan ini dimaksudkan untuk mengkaji bentuk haluan yang optimum dari perolehan nilai hambatan minimum dan sebisa mungkin mendapatkan luasan basar yang besar. Hambatan yang dikaji dilakukan pada kondisi menyelam dan permukaan. Lima variasi bentuk haluan digunakan berdasarkan koefisien haluan nf, parameter untuk lambung paralel dan buritan adalah konstan. Untuk lebih mengetahui karakteristik bentuk haluan terhadap hambatan, digunakan empat variasi kecepatan, dan menghasilkan bentuk haluan yang optimum dengan nilai nf : 1,84. ======================================================================================================================== This report discuss about the bow shape of submarine barehull corresponds to minimum resistance. Resistance shows as the most importance paraeter due to design process of submarine shape. The resistance have strong correlation to the submarine operability, thus depends to the powering of a submarine. In this report, the study of the shape of submarine hull focused in barehull, without appendages. The major approach of submarine deisgn shows in two saheps : tear drop shape and cylindrical middle body shape. Submarine model have three parts : bow/nose, parallel middle body and stern. The scope of this report is analyzing the optimum bow shape in correlation of minimum resistance and strongly to obatin the large of wetted surface area. The analysis of resistance done in submerged and surfaced condition. Five variations of bow shapes is used based on the nf coefficient, and the rest of parallel body and stern is constant. To obtain more understanding in the characteristics of bow shape to resistance, four variations of velocity is used, result for optimum bow shape with value of nf : 1,84

    The community of Kokoda is a Muslim community of indigenous Papuans. Their existence in the city of Sorong begins from their migration from Inawatan, one of the hinterlands of West Papua. Islam is a religion of the majority of this community and only a few adherents are Christians. Both adherents are integrated in the same environment. The topic of interest in this study is the dialectic of Islam and the local wisdom that is understood and practiced by this community. In addition, the local wisdom that is practiced by both adherents is out of religious context, even the wisdom which is conceived as “brotherhood” or “sapu sodara” is preserved, maintained and preserved well until it ties emotional connection of Kokoda tribe. This research aims to find the dialectic of Islam and local wisdom in the context of religious understanding of Kokoda community. Therefore, three methods are used for this research namely observation, interview, and thick description. The data is processed by phenomenology analysis technique which is to uncover the social consciousness and collective consciousness of a community. The results of this study show that in fact the practice and religious understanding of the community of Kokoda are from a single concept of “brotherhood” or “sapu sodara”. Their knowledge of religious is based on trust and motivation. Meanwhile their practices are based on: 1) the establishment of committees of religious activities, 2) participation in giving alms, and 3) togetherness in ritual and ceremonial practices. There are two forms of local wisdom of Kokoda community namely: 1) through behavior and 2) refers to the knowledge (cognitive). The dialectic of religion and local wisdom in religious practices of Kokoda also seen in two things: 1) inclusion of religious practices, and 2) inter-religious acculturation. Keywords: Religion (Islam), local wisdom, dialectics, ideology and religious practices, Kokoda. Komunitas Kokoda adalah komunitas muslim yang berasal dari penduduk asli Papua. Eksistensinya di Kota Sorong diawali dengan migrasi dari Inawatan, salah satu daerah pedalaman Papua Barat. Islam merupakan agama mayoritas yang dianut oleh komunitas ini dan hanya sebagian kecil saja penganut Kristiani. Keduanya terintegrasi dalam lingkungan yang sama. Isu yang menarik dalam kajian ini adalah adanya dialektika agama (Islam) dan kearifan lokal yang dipahami dan dipraktikkan oleh komunitas ini. Selain itu, adanya kearifan lokal yang dipraktikkan kedua penganutnya [Islam-Kristen] di luar konteks agama, bahkan kearifan yang dikonsepsikan “persaudaraan” atau “sapu sodara” itu dipelihara, dijaga dan dilestarikan dengan baik hingga mengikat hubungan emosional-kesukuan Kokoda. Riset ini bertujuan mencari dialektika agama [Islam] dan kearifan lokal dalam konteks pemahaman keagamaan komunitas Kokoda. Karenanya, untuk mengupasnya digunakan tiga metode, yaitu observasi, interview, dan thick description. Data tersebut diolah dengan teknik analisis fenomenologi. Analisis ini untuk mengungkap kesadaran sosial dan kesadaran kolektif dari suatu komunitas tersebut. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa ternyata praktik dan pemahaman keagamaan komunitas Kokoda bersumber dari konsep tunggal “persaudaraan” atau “sapu sodara”. Pengetahuan keagamaannya dilihat pada unsur kepercayaan dan motivasi. Sedang praktiknya pada; 1) Pembentukan kepanitian kegiatankegiatan keagamaan. 2) Berpartisipasi memberikan sedekah, dan 3) Bersama-sama dalam ritual dan seremonialnya. Ada dua wujud kearifan lokal dari komunitas Kokoda; 1) Lewat Perilaku; 2) Mengacu pada pengetahuan (kognitif). Sedangkan, dialektika agama dan kearifan lokal dalam praktik keagamaan Kokoda juga dilihat dalam dua hal; 1) Inklusifitas praktik keagamaan dan 2) Akulturasi budaya antar agama.

    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

    We 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
