    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

    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

    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

    Prediksi Persediaan Barang Menggunakan Metode Weighted Moving Average, Exponential Smoothing dan Simple Moving Average

    Inventory of goods is one of the very important sales activities, because it indirectly has an impact on customer satisfaction, it is possible that customers will feel disappointed if the goods they are looking for are not available because the stock is out of stock, if this happens it is very possible even until the customer loses. To avoid customer disappointment and maintain stock of goods so that they are always available when needed, it is important necessary to predict the inventory of goods in this case are brown envelopes at photocopy shops and office stationery F2. To be able to predict the inventory of these goods, research is carried out so that the stock of brown envelopes can always be available. In this study, the authors conducted a research on the estimated supply of brown envelopes which until now were sought after by customers at the store where we did research, namely the F2 photocopy and office stationery shop. In calculating inventory estimates, the author uses three methods, namely Weighted Moving Average, Exponential Smoothing and Simple Moving Average. Data processing using the Python programming language with Jupyter Notebook, from the prediction results using the three methods, it can be seen that the best method for photocopy shops and office stationery F2 is using the Exponential Smoothing method with α=0.1. The author hopes that the results of this study can provide input to shop owners in making decisions when they will add stock of brown envelopes in the next period. If this can be known before the stock runs out, the shop owner will be better prepared in deciding how much stock should be prepared to meet customer needs, and it is also not excessive to provide stock because if there is too much stock and it is not sold for a very long time, it can reduce the value of an item that can cause loss

    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
