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
INTERVENSI DEWA DALAM MENGATUR KEHIDUPAN MANUSIA DALAM LEGENDA CHANG E DI BANDUNG
Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan setiap analisis yang terkandung dalam teks Legenda Chang E. Alasan yang melatarbelakangi ini, yaitu untuk mengetahui intervensi dewa dalam mengatur kehidupan manusia melalui analisis struktur, konteks penuturan, proses penciptaan, fungsi, dan makna dari Legenda Chang E. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian sastra lisan. Dalam metode penelitian sastra lisan terdapat teknik pengumpulan data yang berupa wawancara, perekaman, pencatatan, pengamatan, dan analisis. Teks legenda yang dianalisis berjumlah tiga versi cerita yang berasal dari Bandung, tepatnya di Kecamatan Balonggede, Kecamatan Andir, dan Kecamatan Bojongsoang. Fokus penelitian ini meliputi analisis struktur teks, analisis konteks penuturan, analisis proses penciptaan, analisis fungsi, dan analisis makna. Hasil analisis ketiga teks memiliki beberapa kesamaan, baik dari segi struktur teks, konteks penuturan, proses penciptaan, fungsi, dan makna. Intervensi dewa terlihat dalam kehadiran tokoh-tokoh dewa, latar tempat tinggal dewa, dan tindakan dewa-dewi dalam legenda yang turut campur menyelamatkan manusia. Legenda ini bisa dituturkan oleh siapa saja dan kapan saja. Legenda Chang E juga dilatarbelakangi oleh berbagai konteks, yaitu bahasa, sistem mata pencaharian, sistem peralatan hidup, sistem kemasyarakatan, sistem pengetahuan, kesenian, dan sistem religi. Proses pewarisan Legenda Chang E terjadi secara vertikal dan proses penciptaan legenda ini secara terstruktur hafalan. Terdapat empat kesamaan fungsi Legenda Chang E, yaitu sebagai sistem proyeksi, alat pendidikan anak, sebagai jalan yang dibenarkan agar seseorang lebih superior, dan alat untuk melarikan diri dari himpitan hidup atau sebagai hiburan semata. Sementara kesamaan makna yang ditemukan dari ketiga versi Legenda Chang E adalah sebagai sesama anggota kelompok masyarakat kita harus saling menolong. Kata kunci: Chang E, intervensi dewa, legenda This study aims to describe every analysis contained in the text of the Legend of Chang E. The reason behind this is to find out the intervention of gods in managing human life through an analysis of the structure, context of narrative, creation process, function, and meaning of the Legend of Chang E. This study using oral literature research methods. In the oral literature research method there are data collection techniques in the form of interviews, recording, recording, observation, and analysis. The legend texts analyzed amounted to three versions of stories originating from Bandung, precisely in Balonggede District, Andir District, and Bojongsoang District. The focus of this research includes text structure analysis, narrative context analysis, creation process analysis, function analysis, and meaning analysis. The results of the analysis of the three texts have several similarities, both in terms of text structure, narrative context, creation process, function, and meaning. The intervention of the gods is seen in the presence of divine figures, the setting where the gods live, and the actions of the gods in legends who intervene to save humans. This legend can be told by anyone and at any time. The legend of Chang E is also motivated by various contexts, namely language, livelihood systems, living equipment systems, social systems, knowledge systems, arts, and religious systems. The process of inheriting the legend of Chang E occurs vertically and the process of creating this legend is structured by rote. There are four similarities in the functions of The Legend of Chang E, namely as a projection system, a child education tool, as a justified way to make someone more superior, and a tool to escape from the crush of life or as mere entertainment. While the similarity of meaning found from the three versions of the Legend of Chang E is that as members of a community group we must help each other. Keywords: Chang E, god’s intervention, legend
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

Public perspective towards social impact of chang e lunar probe program
Full text linkThe present article is based on the MA thesis of Hou Bowen (Ph.D candidate) and on the presentation made at the ISA World Congress of Sociology held in Yokohama (Japan) on July 2014 at the Session on “Assessing Technologies: Global Patterns of Trust and Distrust” of RC23-Sociology of Science and Technology.During the past decades, assessing the impact of technological project and related engineering has long been paid attention. The objective of this research is to investigate technological project and related engineering’s social impact through public perspective. The present article investigated the social impact of China’s Chang E Lunar Probe project by using Social Impact Assessment (SIA) methods, resulting from a research study conducted in 2012. SIA is a collective of the systematic methods used to investigate the influence of engineering, project or policy and to present their potential social impacts. A survey from public respondents indicated that public spoke highly of Chang E Probe on the whole. Furthermore, a factor analysis of the perspective of public perspective towards Chang E Lunar Probe project has discovered such impact were mainly assessed in four dimensions by public, these impacts were military impact, political impact, public support and educational impact. From the results obtained so far, it revealed that public perspective towards the political impact of the Chang E Probe varies from each other but unified when they assess Chang E’s military impact, meanwhile student’s perspective towards the educational impact of Chang E Probe was largely different from other publics.The MA thesis has the supervision of Prof. Yin Haijie (professor in Harbin Institute of Technology)
