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
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
Perbandingan Pajak Tangguhan Dan Akrual Dalam Pengujian Aliran Kas, Return Saham Dan Manajemen Laba (Studi pada Perusahaan Manufaktur yang Terdaftar di BEI)

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
PERBANDINGAN PAJAK TANGGUHAN DAN AKRUAL DALAM PENGUJIAN ALIRAN KAS, RETURN SAHAM DAN MANAJEMEN LABA (Studi pada Perusahaan Manufaktur yang Terdaftar di BEI)
Full text linkLaporan keuangan dapat menggambarkan kondisi dan kinerja perusahaan.
Informasi yang terkandung di dalam laporan keuangan dapat digunakan untuk
pengambilan keputusan oleh berbagai pihak yang berkepentingan, terutama investor.
Terkadang hal ini dimanfaatkan oleh pihak manajemen untuk merekayasa laporan
keuangan demi menarik perhatian para investor. Namun para investor dapat
menggunakan pajak tangguhan untuk melihat indikasi adanya rekayasa yang
dilakukan manajemen. Hal ini dikarenakan pajak tangguhan mencerminkan
perbedaan antara laba komersial dengan laba fiskal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mengungkapkan probabilitas pajak tangguhan dan akrual dalam memprediksi aliran
kas pada masa yang akan datang, return saham, dan manajemen laba yang dilakukan
perusahaan.
Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di
Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) selama periode tahun 2008 – 2011. Sampel yang
digunakan untuk penelitian aliran kas pada masa yang akan datang adalah 75
perusahaan. Sampel yang digunakan ntuk penelitian return saham adalah 72
perusahaan, sedangkan untuk sampel penelitian manajemen laba adalah 23
perusahaan yang dipilih dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Data diuji
menggunakan metode regresi linier berganda dan regresi logistik.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pajak tangguhan lebih bermanfaat
dalam memprediksi aliran kas perusahaan di masa datang. Pajak tangguhan dan
akrual tidak mempengaruhi return saham perusahaan. Pajak tangguhan dan akrual
tidak dapat memprediksi adanya manajemen laba yang dilakukan perusahaan.

Attributes of meaningful learning in "When English Rings a Bell" student book of the scientific approach: A descriptive analysis at the 7th Grade Junior High School Student Book Used at MTs Ar-Raudloh, Cileunyi, Bandung
Full text linkResource books or student books can influence students’ understanding in the learning process. Students find learning materials difficult because they may learn less meaningful. In this case, they have to know whether their source book is meaningful or not. This study is intended to analyze the attributes of meaningful learning in English student book entitled “When English Rings a Bell” created by the Ministry of Education, and students’ responses to meaningful learning in the “When English Rings a Bell” student book of the scientific approach. Furthermore, this study was implemented to achieve the objectives: 1) to find out the attributes of meaningful learning that reflected in “When English Rings a Bell” student book of the scientific approach 2) to reveal the students’ perceptions of meaningful learning in “When English Rings a Bell” student book of the scientific approach. A qualitative study was applied in this study, particularly a descriptive analysis. The participants are the student book and students of eight grade Islamic Junior High School of Ar-Raudloh. To obtain the data, document analysis and interview were used. The document analysis was conducted to “When English Rings a Bell” student book using attributes of meaningful learning theory by Jonassen, et al (2003).
Moreover, the interview were conducted to know students’ perceptions about meaningful learning on the student book. Furthermore, the interview data was conducted using open-ended questions and it was held for four times alternately that consist of three students in every section. The result of this research shows that all attributes of meaningful learning in “When English Rings a Bell” student book of the scientific approach has appeared, but the most frequent attributes of meaningful learning reflected in the student book of the scientific approach are active learning, authentic learning, and intentional learning. However, the application of meaningful learning principles in this book based on students’ perceptions is still lack and there are some parts of the book that are less meaningful. Because almost in each principle only few students can understand the instructions and material in the book and only few students have the ease of practicing the conversation. In conclusion, the finding shows that the attributes of meaningful learning in “When English Rings a Bell” student book for seventh-grade students categorized into good criteria of meaningful learning for student book based on Jonassen’s, et al (2003) theory. However, the student book is not appropriate to be used for self-study at home without guidance from the teacher because students find it hard to learn meaningfully
