    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    ANALISIS MULTIDIMENSI STATUS KEBERLANJUTAN DAN STRATEGI PENGELOLAAN KAWASAN PENGEMBANGAN BUDIDAYA LAUT BERKELANJUTAN (STUDI KASUS DI PERAIRAN TELUK EKAS KABUPATEN LOMBOK TIMUR PROPINSI NUSA TENGGARA BARAT)

    Kegiatan budidaya laut di perairan Teluk Ekas telah secara langsung memberikan kontribusi cukup besar terhadap capaian produksi perikanan budidaya secara nasional. Fenomena penurunan kualitas lingkungan perairan baik yang disebabkan oleh faktor internal yaitu aktivitas budidaya laut yang tak terkendali, maupun faktor eksternal yang berkaitan dengan kegiatan pemanfaatan ruang lainnya dan aktivitas di up-land (daratan) dikhawatirkan justru akan menjadi ancaman serius bagi keberlanjutan kegiatan usaha budidaya laut maupun ekosistem perairan secara umum. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menghitung daya dukung kapasitas perairan untuk pengembangan budidaya laut sistem KJA, menganalisis indeks dan status keberlanjutan pengelolaan kawasan pengembangan budidaya laut; dan menentukan prioritas kebijakan dan strategi pengelolaan kawasan pengembangan budidaya laut secara berkelanjutan. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Dalam penelitian ini pendekatan kuantitatif digunakan dalam menentukan tingkat kesesuaian dan daya dukung kapasitas perairan serta analisis status keberlanjutan. Sedangkan pendekatan kualitatif digunakan untuk menentukan strategi pengelolaan kawasan pengembangan budidaya laut berkelanjutan yang berbasis pada pendapat pakar (expert opinion). Penentuan lokasi penelitian mengacu pada Rencana Zonasi Wilayah Pesisir, Laut dan Pulau-Pulau Kecil (RZWP3K) Provinsi NTB, dimana lokasi penelitian difokuskan di Dusun Ekas, Desa Ekas Buana, Kecamatan Jerowaru Kabupaten Lombok Timur. Analisis kesesuaian lahan perairan dilakukan melalui pendekatan analisis Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) menggunakan perangkat lunak ArcGIS yang selanjutnya digunakan dalam menghitung daya dukung kapasitas perairan untuk pengembangan budidaya laut sistem KJA. Pengukuran status keberlanjutan dilakukan melalui pendekatan dengan metode Multidimensional Scalling dengan teknik ordinasi Rapfish untuk melakukan analisa status keberlanjutan. Penentuan faktor/atribut sensitif multidimensi dilakukan melalui analisis laverage dan pareto. Sedangkan penentuan prioritas kebijakan dan strategi pada masing-masing dimensi dilakukan melalui analisis AHP secara manual berdasarkan pada pendapat pakar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum karakteristik perairan Teluk Ekas telah memenuhi persyaratan bioteknis untuk budidaya laut, namun untuk parameter nitrat dan ortofosfat memiliki kadar yang melebihi baku mutu optimum untuk kehidupan biota laut. Total luas area perairan yang sesuai untuk budidaya laut seluas 292,2 ha. Sedangkan luas lahan budidaya optimum yang dapat dikembangkan pada sub zona pengembangan budidaya laut sistem KJA adalah seluas 58,44 ha (20% dari total luas perairan sesuai). Daya dukung lingkungan melalui pendekatan kapasitas perairan diperoleh jumlah unit KJA optimum yang mampu ditampung pada kawasan sub zona pengembangan budidaya laut sistem KJA sebanyak 16.222 unit KJA atau rata-rata 278 unit KJA per ha. Nilai indeks dan status keberlanjutan multidimensi masing-masing untuk dimensi ekologi berada pada kategori kurang berkelanjutan dengan nilai indeks 44,62; dimensi regulasi dan kelembagaan berada pada kategori kurang berkelanjutan dengan nilai indeks 39,38; dimensi ekonomi berada pada kategori kurang berkelanjutan dengan nilai indeks 44,86; dimensi sosial-budaya berada pada kategori cukup berkelanjutan dengan nilai indeks 51,52; dan dimensi teknologi berada pada kategori cukup berkelanjutan dengan nilai indeks 52,98. Hasil analisis penentuan prioritas kebijakan dalam penyusunan strategi pengelolaan kawasan sub zona pengembangan budidaya laut sistem KJA di perairan Teluk Ekas berturut-turut yaitu dimensi ekologi pada prioritas pertama; dimensi regulasi dan kelembagaan pada prioritas kedua; dimensi ekonomi pada prioritas ketiga; dimensi teknologi pada prioritas keempat; dan dimensi sosial-budaya pada prioritas kelima. Sebagai upaya dalam memperbaiki kinerja pengelolaan kawasan budidaya laut secara berkelanjutan, maka diperlukan strategi konkrit melalui perbaikan kinerja terhadap faktor-faktor sensitif pada masing-masing dimensi.

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
