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
Evaluasi Aksesibilitas Fasilitas Penyandang Tunadaksa dan Tunanetra di Stasiun Duri Menggunakan Metode Promethee
No full textDuri Station is a transit station for KRL passengers Commuter Line Tangerang-Duri PP, KRL relations Commuter Line loop line Cikarang, and Commuter Line Soekarno-Hatta Airport with an average passenger capacity of ±10,000 passengers/day. Overcrowding often occurs and causes the movement of passengers and people with disabilities to become hampered. This research aims to evaluate the suitability of special facilities for the disabled and visually impaired at Duri Station, rank proposals for improvements and development of special facilities for the disabled and visually impaired at Duri Station, and provide recommendations to Duri Station regarding special facilities for the disabled and visually impaired that need immediate improvement and development. This research uses the method purposive sampling to select respondents based on specific criteria used as samples in this research. Data processing is carried out using the method PROMETHEE to assess and rank the facilities that need immediate repair and improvement at Duri Station. The research results show that several facilities at Duri Station, such as platforms, waiting rooms, disabled toilets, prayer rooms, lifts, ramps, guideways/guiding block, and the disability counter does not comply with the provisions stated in PM No. 63 of 2019 and PUPR Ministerial Decree no. 14/PRT/M 2017. Ranking using method PROMETHEE resulting in a priority ranking for improving facilities for the disabled according to users, namely increasing sufficient free space in disabled toilets for wheelchair users to maneuver 180° and to open and close doors with a value net flow of -0.396. The main priority for the blind that needs to be improved and improved is the availability of priority seats in the Duri Station waiting room with mark net flow of -0.663.Stasiun Duri menjadi stasiun transit bagi penumpang KRL Commuter Line relasi Tangerang-Duri PP, KRL Commuter Line loop line Cikarang, dan Commuter Line Bandara Soekarno-Hatta dengan rata-rata penumpang mencapai ±10.000 penumpang/hari. Sering terjadi kepadatan penumpang dan menyebabkan pergerakan penumpang maupun penyandang disabilitas menjadi terhambat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kesesuaian fasilitas khusus bagi penyandang tunadaksa dan tunanetra di Stasiun Duri, merangkingkan usulan perbaikan dan pengembangan fasilitas khusus tunadaksa dan tunanetra di Stasiun Duri, serta memberikan rekomendasi kepada pihak Stasiun Duri terkait fasilitas khusus tunadaksa dan tunanetra yang perlu segera dilakukan perbaikan dan pengembangan. Penelitian ini memakai metode purposive sampling untuk memilih responden berdasarkan kriteria khusus yang digunakan sebagai sampel pada penelitian ini. Pengolahan data dilakukan menggunakan metode PROMETHEE untuk menilai dan merangkingkan fasilitas yang perlu diperbaiki dan ditingkatkan segera di Stasiun Duri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa fasilitas di Stasiun Duri, seperti peron, ruang tunggu, toilet disabilitas, mushola, lift, ram, jalur pemandu/guiding block, dan loket disabilitas belum sesuai dengan ketentuan yang tercantum dalam PM No. 63 Tahun 2019 dan PermenPUPR No. 14/PRT/M Tahun 2017. Perangkingan menggunakan metode PROMETHEE menghasilkan peringkat prioritas untuk perbaikan fasilitas penyandang tunadaksa menurut penggunanya adalah peningkatan ruang bebas yang cukup di toilet disabilitas bagi pengguna kursi roda untuk melakukan manuver 180° dan untuk membuka serta menutup pintu dengan nilai net flow sebesar -0,396. Prioritas utama untuk penyandang tunanetra yang perlu ditingkatkan dan diperbaiki adalah ketersediaan kursi prioritas di ruang tunggu Stasiun Duri dengan nilai net flow sebesar -0,663
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

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.
