Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Analisis psikometri coping humor scale versi Indonesia dengan Rasch Model
Full text linkINDONESIA
Humor merupakan salah satu bentu coping strategy yang berperan penting dalam membantu individu menghadapi stress. Namun, instrumen untuk mengukur humor sebagai mekanisme coping masih terbatas penggunaannya di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas dan reliabilitas Coping humor Scale (CHS) versi Indonesia menggunakan pendekatan Rasch model. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 500 orang mahasiswa Fakultas Psikologi UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang.
Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa instrument CHS Versi Indonesia memiliki kualitas psikometrik yang baik. Uji unidimensionalitas menghasilkan raw variance explained by measure sebesar 47,8%, dengan nilai unexplained variance pada konstruk pertama hingga keempat berada dibawa 15%, serta korelasi residual antarkomponen item berada di bawah 0,3 yang menandakan terpenuhinya asumsi unidimensionalitas dan local independent. Dari tujuh item awal, hanya item 4 yang dinyatakan tidak valid berdasarkan nilai fit statistic. Setelah item 4 dieliminasi, keenam item tersisa menunjukkan validitas yang baik. Uji Differential Item Functioning (DIF) menunjukkan bahwa item 5 terindikasi bisa sberdasarkan jenis kelamin (p < 0,05).
Pada uji reliabilitas, penghapusan item 4 meningkatkan nilai person reliability dari 0,68 menjadi 0,74 dan Cronbach’s alpha 0,69 menjadi 0,78. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa instrument CHS versi Indonesia setelah direduksi menjadi enam item, memiliki validitas dan reliabilitas yang memadai untuk digunakan dalam konteks pengukuran humor sebagai strategi coping di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan evaluasi lanjut terhadap item yang terindikasi bias serta perluasan sampel untuk pengujian di populasi yang lebih beragam.

Humor is a form of coping strategy that plays a crucial role in helping individuals cope with stress. However, instruments for measuring humor as a coping mechanism are still limited in Indonesia. This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Coping Humor Scale (CHS) using the Rasch model approach. The study involved 500 students from the Faculty of Psychology at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang.
The analysis showed that the Indonesian version of the CHS instrument has good psychometric qualities. The unidimensionality test yielded a raw variance explained by measure of 47.8%, with unexplained variance values for the first to fourth constructs below 15%. The residual correlation between item components was below 0.3, indicating the fulfillment of the assumptions of unidimensionality and local independence. Of the seven initial items, only item 4 was declared invalid based on the fit statistic. After item 4 was eliminated, the remaining six items demonstrated good validity. The Differential Item Functioning (DIF) test indicated that item 5 could be influenced by gender (p < 0.05).
In the reliability test, the removal of item 4 increased the person reliability value from 0.68 to 0.74 and the Cronbach's alpha from 0.69 to 0.78. These results indicate that the Indonesian version of the CHS, after being reduced to six items, has adequate validity and reliability for use in the context of measuring humor as a coping strategy in Indonesia. This study recommends further evaluation of items suspected of bias and an expanded sample size for testing in a more diverse population.

الفكاهة هي شكل من أشكال استراتيجية المواجهة التي تلعب دورًا حاسمًا في مساعدة الأفراد على التعامل مع التوتر. ومع ذلك، لا تزال أدوات قياس الفكاهة كآلية مواجهة محدودة في إندونيسيا. هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى اختبار صحة وموثوقية النسخة الإندونيسية من مقياس الفكاهة المواجهة (CHS) باستخدام نهج نموذج راش. شملت الدراسة 500 طالب من كلية علم النفس في جامعة مولانا مالك إبراهيم مالانج. أظهر التحليل أن النسخة الإندونيسية من أداة CHS تتمتع بخصائص سيكومترية جيدة. أسفر اختبار أحادية البعد عن تباين خام تم تفسيره بمقياس بنسبة 47.8٪، مع قيم تباين غير مفسر للتركيبات من الأول إلى الرابع أقل من 15٪. كان الارتباط المتبقي بين مكونات العناصر أقل من 0.3، مما يشير إلى تحقيق افتراضات أحادية البعد والاستقلال المحلي. من بين العناصر السبعة الأولية، تم إعلان العنصر 4 فقط غير صالح بناءً على إحصائية الملاءمة. بعد استبعاد العنصر 4، أظهرت العناصر الستة المتبقية صحة جيدة. أشار اختبار الأداء التفاضلي للعناصر (DIF) إلى أن العنصر الخامس قد يتأثر بنوع الجنس (p < 0.05).
في اختبار الموثوقية، أدى حذف العنصر الرابع إلى زيادة قيمة موثوقية الشخص من 0.68 إلى 0.74، وقيمة ألفا كرونباخ من 0.69 إلى 0.78. تشير هذه النتائج إلى أن النسخة الإندونيسية من مقياس CHS، بعد تقليصها إلى ستة عناصر، تتمتع بصلاحية وموثوقية كافيتين للاستخدام في سياق قياس الفكاهة كاستراتيجية للتكيف في إندونيسيا. توصي هذه الدراسة بإجراء مزيد من التقييم للعناصر المشتبه في تحيزها، وتوسيع حجم العينة لاختبارها على مجتمع أكثر تنوعًا
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
