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

PERKEMBANGAN KESENIAN GEMBYUNG DI KABUPATEN CIREBON TAHUN 1960-2015.
No full textPenelitian ini bertolak dari kekhawatiran penulis terhadap kesenian Gembyung yang hampir punah. Untuk itu diperlukan upaya untuk mempertahankan seni tradisi tersebut agar tetap bertahan di tengah-tengah seni modern yang berkembang dalam masyarakat. Permasalahan yang dibahas dalam skripsi ini mengenai keberadaan kesenian Gembyung di Kabupaten Cirebon mulai dari latar belakang lahirnya kesenian Gembyung, perkembangannya, faktor penghambat perkembangan kesenian Gembyung serta upaya seniman dan pemerintah dalam menjaga dan melestarikan kesenian Gembyung. Dalam penyusunan skripsi ini, penulis menggunakan metode historis yang meliputi empat langkah yaitu heuristik, kritik, interpretasi dan historiografi. Penulis juga menggunakan pendekatan interdisipliner yaitu dibantu dengan ilmu Sosiologi dan ilmu Antropologi dalam mengkaji permasalahan yang diteliti. Selain itu, penulis bergantung pada penggunaan sejarah lisan (oral history) melalui teknik wawancara. Kesenian Gembyung di Kabupaten Cirebon merupakan kesenian yang telah lama ada di Cirebon. Kesenian Gembyung digunakan sebagai media dakwah penyebaran agama Islam. Kesenian Gembyung dalam perkembangannya mengalami pergeseran fungsi. Kesenian Gembyung yang pada awalnya digunakan sebagai media penyebaran agama Islam serta sebagai pengiring acara hari-hari besar agama Islam seperti Muludan, Isra Mi’raj dan sebagainya kini bersifat hiburan yang dalam hal ini erat kaitannya dengan nilai ekonomis. Dalam perkembangannya kesenian Gembyung mengalami kemunduran. Hal tersebut tidak lepas dari berkurangnya permintaan untuk melakukan pementasan. Sebagian masyarakat seleranya mulai beralih pada seni modern. Sementara itu, kurangnya dukungan dari pemerintah setempat dalam melestarikan kesenian Gembyung adalah faktor penghambat lain yang menyebabkan mundurnya kesenian Gembyung. Upaya yang dilakukan oleh seniman dalam melestarikan kesenian Gembyung yaitu dengan mengajarkan kesenian Gembyung pada anggota keluarganya khususnya generasi muda untuk menumbuhkan kecintaan terhadap kesenian Gembyung, mengkombinasikan kesenian Gembyung dengan kesenian tradisional lain seperti debus, genjring burok dan sebagainya, memasukan lagu-lagu modern pada saat pertunjukan. Sedangkan upaya yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Kabupaten Cirebon dalam melestarikan kesenian Gembyung yaitu dengan cara mengadakan pembinaan terhadap seniman Gembyung, serta memberikan bantuan berupa alat-alat musik Gembyung.;--- The background of this study is from the researcher’s awareness that Gembyung art is in danger of the extinction. Therefore, there should be an effort to maintain the existence of the traditional art in order to survive through the wave of modern art which is growing really fast in the society. The problem that is discussed in this study is the existence of Gembyung art in kabupaten Cirebon, started from the background of the birth of Gembyung art, its development, the growth inhibitor factors and the efforts from the artist and government in maintaining and conserving Gembyung art. In the making of this essay, the researcher used historical method which covers four steps, those are: heuristic, critic, interpretation and historiography. The researcher also used interdisciplinary approach which is helped by sociology and anthropology in observing the problem of this study. Moreover, the researcher depended to the use of oral history through interview. The Gembyung art in kabupaten Cirebon is one of the long last art in Cirebon. The Gembyung art is used as a media of religious proselytizing of Islam. The Gembyung art in its development, experienced the functional movement. The Gembyung art was used as a media in spreading Islam and as accompaniment of the event of Islamic big days, like Muludan, Isra Mi’raj and etc. Now it became an entertainment media and has a strong relation with economic value. In its development, the Gembyung art faced the decreasing phase. It is because of the lack of performing demand. Some of the society chose to be more confident with the modern art. While, the lack of local government’s support in conserving the Gembyung art is also the inhibitor factor that causes the decreasing phase of the Gembyung art. The effort that was given by the artist in conserving the Gembyung art is through spreading the Gembyung art to their families, especially, a youth, in order to grow their love to the Gembyung art, combining the Gembyung art with another traditional art, such as: enjring Burok, Debus, and etc, then add a modern song when performing is one of the solution. Meanwhile, the government’s efforts in conserving the Gembyung art is through accommodating a training for the Gembyung artist, and give helps in providing the instrument of Gembyung
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
