    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

    “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

    HUBUNGAN ANTARA PEMAHAMAN OPERASI HITUNG DAN KEMAMPUAN MEMBUAT MODEL MATEMATIKA DENGAN KEMAMPUAN MENYELESAIKAN SOAL CERITA MATEMATIKA SISWA KELAS 1 SMP MUHAMMADIYAH 1 CILACAP

    Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: 1) hubungan antara pemahaman operasi hitung dengan kemampuan menyelesaikan soal cerita, 2) hubungan antara kemampuan membuat model matematika dengan kemampuan menyelesaikan soal cerita, 3) hubungan bersama antara pemahaman operasi hitung dan kemampuan membuat model matematika dengan kemampuan menyelesaikan soal cerita. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Cilacap kelas 1 tahun ajaran 2006/2007 dengan populasi 240 siswa, sampel penelitian ini 41 siswa. Teknik pengambilan sampel adalah random sampling terhadap kelas. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan tes. Analisis data menggunakan analisis korelasi parsial dan analisis regresi berganda dengan dua prediktor. Dengan uji asumsi normalitas, linieritas, keberartian dan independensi. Dari hasil penelitian dengan taraf signifikansi 5 % dapat diketahui: 1) ada hubungan antara pemahaman operasi hitung dengan kemampuan menyelesaikan soal cerita dengan thitung = 2,613, 2) ada hubungan antara kemampuan membuat model matematika dengan kemampuan menyelesaikan soal cerita dengan thitung = 2,605, 3) ada hubungan antara pemahaman operasi hitung dan kemampuan membuat model matematika dengan kemampuan menyelesaikan soal cerita dengan Fhitung = 5,979. Dari hasil analisis didapat sumbangan tiap-tiap prediktor adalah sebagai berikut: 1) Sumbangan relatif pemahaman operasi hitnug (SR) = 50,2 % dan sumbangan efektif (SE) = 12,01 %. 2) Sumbangan relatif kemampuan membuat model matematika (SR) = 49,8 % dan sumbangan efektif (SE) = 11,93 %

    Sumber daya manusia dipandang sebagai faktor pendorong utama dalam menentukan keberhasilan suatu perusahaan. Pentingnya peran sumber daya manusia khususnya dalam upaya penyelenggaraan manajemen pemerintah, maka perlu diformulasikan sebuah kebijakan baru yang lebih dinamis demi mengakomodir kebutuhan birokrasi masa kini serta mengantisipasi perubahan lingkungan strategis. Negara memerlukan lebih banyak lagi smart ASN dari talenta-talenta unggul yang perlu diasah dengan baik melalui pendidikan dan pelatihan yang berkualitas dan berstandar dunia, sehingga terbentuk ASN yang berintegritas, profesional, inovatif, dan kreatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analitis melalui studi literatur sebagai referensi bahan analisa. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui strategi yang relevan dalam pengembangan sumber daya manusia menuju era Smart ASN. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan tentang skema pengembangan sumber daya aparatur melalui aspek bakat, kompetensi dan ketahanan sehingga menghasilkan Smart ASN yang berintegritas, nasionalisme, profesionalisme, berwawasan global, menguasai teknologi informasi dan bahasa asing, hospitality, networking, dan entrepreneurship

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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
