Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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 Tingkat Kepuasan Peternak Plasma Terhadap Pelaksanaan Kemitraan Ayam Broiler di Kabupaten Malang (Studi Kasus: PT Mitratama Karya Abadi)
No full textPenelitian ini berlokasi di Kabupaten Malang. Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan
pada tanggal 18 Januari 2018 sampai dengan 28 Februari 2018.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah
untuk mendeskripsikan pelaksanaan pola kemitraan ayam broiler pada PT. Mitratama Karya
Abadi, mengetahui tingkat kepuasan peternak plasma terhadap pelaksanaan kemitraan
ayam broiler, mengetahui korelasi antara karakteristik peternak plasma dan karakteristik
usaha peternak plasmadengan tingkat kepuasan peternak terhadap pelaksanaan kemitraan
ayam broiler pada PT. Mitratama Karya Abadi.
Metode penelitian adalah mixed methodes,yaitu pendekatan penelitian yang
mengkombinasikan antara penelitian kualitatif dengan dengan penelitian kuantitatif.
Penentuan lokasi dilakukan dengan cara purposive sampling dengan pertimbangan bahwa
Kabupaten Malang sebagai salah satu Kabupaten yang memiliki populasi ayam broiler
terbanyak di Jawa Timur dan di Kabupaten Malang banyak peternak yang bergabung
dengan kemitraan ayam broiler.Penentuan responden secara purposive sampling dimana
kriteria responden yang digunakan adalah peternak plasma yang sudah menjalin kerjasama
dengan kemitraan PT. Mitratama Karya Abadi minimal dua tahun. Perhitungan tingkat
kepuasan peternak plasma menggunakan analisis Importance Performance Analisis (IPA)
dan Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). Perhitungan korelasi antara karakteristik peternak
(umur dan tingkat pendidikan) dan karakteristik usaha peternak (skala usaha dan lama
bermitra dengan PT MKA) dengan tingkat kepuasan menggunakan rumus korelasi Rank
Spearman.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas peternak responden berjenis
kelamin laki-laki (83,33%), berusia antara 36-50 tahun (66,67%), memiliki tingkat pendidikan
SD (40%), jumlah tanggungan keluarga 3-5 orang (73,33%), memiliki populasi ayam broiler
2.000-10.000 ekor (93,33%), pekerjaan lain selain beternak ayam adalah sebagai petani
(40%), lama beternak ayam broiler 5-10 tahun (50%), lama bermitra dengan PT MKA 2-5
tahun (46,67%) dan alasan ikut kemitraan PT MKA karena tidak ada modal mandiri dan
karena panen ayam besar masing-masing (20%).
Berdasarkan hasil analisis kuadran, didapatkan beberapa atribut kemitraan yang
memiliki tingkat kepentingan yang tinggi bagi peternak, akan tetapi kinerjanya dinilai masih
rendah oleh peternak (kuadran I). Atribut kemitraan tersebut antara lain yaitu harga kontrak
pakan, harga kontrak DOC, kualitas pakan, kualitas DOC, kualitas OVK dan kecepatan
pencairan hasil panen. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kesesuaian juga menunjukan bahwa
keenam atribut tersebut memiliki skor kesesuaian yang paling rendah. Atribut kemitraan
yang memiliki kepentingan yang tinggi bagi peternak dan kinerjanya dinilai sudah baik
(kuadran II) antara lain yaitu jadwal pengiriman sapronak, kesesuaian waktu panen dan
pemberian bonus.
Atribut kemitraan yang memiliki tingkat kepentingan yang rendah bagi peternak dan
kinerjanya juga dinilai kurang baik oleh peternak (kuadran III) antara lain yaitu penerapan
standar produksi dan pemberian kompensasi. Atribut kemitraan yang memiliki tingkat
kepentingan yang rendah bagi peternak, akan tetapi memiliki kinerja yang baik menurut
peternak (kuadran IV) antara lain yaitu prosedur penerimaan mitra, harga kontrak OVK,
frekuensi bimbingan teknis dan respon terhadap keluhan.
Secara keseluruhan peternak plasma PT MKA sudah merasa puas terhadap
pelaksanaan kemitraan oleh pihak inti. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan perolehan nilaiCustomer
Satisfaction Index (CSI) sebesar 66,75 persen. Hasil analisis korelasi menunjukkan bahwa
umur memiliki nilai signifikansi (Sig 2-tailed) sebesar 1,000, tingkat pendidikan memiliki nilai
signifikansi (Sig 2-tailed) sebesar 0,456. Hal ini berarti bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang
signifikan antara karakteristik peternak dengan tingkat kepuasan.Karakteristik usaha
peternak berupa skala usaha memiliki nilai signifikansi (Sig 2-tailed) sebesar 0,495, lama
bermitra memiliki nilai signifikansi (Sig 2-tailed) sebesar 0,983. Hal ini juga berarti bahwa
tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara karakteristik usaha peternak dengan tingkat
kepuasan.
Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah kemitraan ayam broiler yang dijalankan oleh
PT MKA merupakan pola kemitraan inti plasma, dimana PT MKA sebagai inti dan peternak
ayam broiler sebagai plasmanya. Secara keseluruhan peternak sudah merasa puas
terhadap pelaksanaan kemitraan ayam broiler oleh PT MKA. Karakteristik peternak (umur
dan tingkat pendidikan) tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan tingkat kepuasan peternak.
Karakteristik usaha (skala usaha dan lama bermitra dengan PT MKA) tidak berhubungan
signifikan dengan tingkat kepuasan peternak plasma PT MKA.
Saran yang dapat diberikan berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini antara lain yaitu pihak
inti perlu memperbaiki kinerja dari atribut kemitraan yang masih memiliki kinerja kurang baik
menurut peternak plasma. Atribut kemitraan tersebut merupakan atribut yang masuk dalam
kuadaran I berdasarkan hasil analisis IPA. Pihak inti perlu meningkatkan kepuasan peternak
plasma. Hal ini bertujuan agar sistem kemitraan yang dijalankan oleh pihak inti bisa berjalan
secara ideal dan sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip kerjasama kemitraa
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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.
