The social root of technical failure: A bibliometric analysis on research focus shift from RDF quality control to community social capacity in waste management
Background: Urban waste generation has evolved significantly between 1999 and 2023, reflected in rising daily and per capita production. Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) operates within a multi-level governance system supported by environmental institutions and policy instruments such as landfill taxes and recycling regulations. Beyond technical solutions, social challenges increasingly influence waste management effectiveness. Methods: This study combines trend analysis of urban waste production (1999–2023) with bibliometric analysis of publications (2021–2025) using VOSviewer. It reviews governance structures, policy developments, and technological integration, including Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) and smart city tools such as IoT sensors and data analytics. Findings: Results show a policy and research shift from landfill reliance and purely technical approaches toward recycling, resource recovery, and social empowerment. Bibliometric mapping indicates growing emphasis on community engagement, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and societal resilience. While technological innovations improve efficiency, community readiness and social acceptance remain critical to sustainability. Conclusion: Sustainable waste management requires a socio-technical paradigm that integrates environmental protection, technological innovation, and community participation. Effective systems must balance technical efficiency with social empowerment to enhance long-term resilience and public welfare. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study offers an integrated perspective by combining longitudinal waste trend analysis with bibliometric mapping to highlight the transition from technology-centered waste management toward a socio-technical framework. It advances the understanding of waste governance by emphasizing the convergence of smart technologies, policy reform, and community-based empowerment as essential components of sustainable urban waste systems

Literature Review: Storybook Media Improves Reading Understanding of Montessori Theory for Class V Elementary School
In learning Indonesian, we found problems that occurred in fifth grade elementary school as follows: 1) generally the learning media was not in accordance with the characteristics of the students, 2) some students used learning media that were not suitable for learning Indonesian, 3) students were less interested in reading because of the media reading is not interesting for students. This will affect the ability to understand the main idea. The method used in writing this article is a literature review study. In 4 international and 6 national articles, the obstacles found with learning media were difficulties with interest in improving reading comprehension skills, while several positive things were found to increase student motivation in using book media. Stories in the learning process of students in class V elementary school. Learning media using story books is a new habit with various ways to carry out a good and interesting learning process and in accordance with curriculum objectives. Obstacles were found both psychologically and socially among fifth grade elementary school student
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
