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
Payroll Decision Support System for Production Employees Based on Key Performance Indicators Using the Simple Additive Weighting Method
Full text linkCV. XYZ is a Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) engaged in plastic sack sewing services and implements a piece rate pay system. The company faces obstacles in managing performance-based payroll, which impacts operational efficiency and payment accuracy. This study aims to develop a Payroll Decision Support System (DSS) to record and evaluate the work results of production employees using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPI evaluation is applied as the main criteria in weighting using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, to produce optimal performance scores. The implementation of KPI-based incentives is expected to improve employee performance while encouraging a productive and transparent work culture. Blackbox testing shows that 97% of the test data meets user requirements, indicating that the system can run according to specifications. The results of this study contribute to the integration of KPIs and SAW in assessing production employee performance for fair and effective payroll decision-making, as well as helping companies implement efficient management practices
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
Design Thinking pada Analisis dan Perancangan High Fidelity Prototype Dashboard Sistem Pengambilan Keputusan Perguruan Tinggi
Full text linkPertumbuhan volume data di perguruan tinggi memerlukan sistem pengambilan keputusan yang mampu mengintegrasikan berbagai sumber data akademik dan non-akademik untuk mendukung pengambilan keputusan strategis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebutuhan sistem pengambilan keputusan di perguruan tinggi dan merancang high fidelity prototype dashboard berbasis data menggunakan metode design thinking. Metode ini terdiri dari lima tahap utama: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, dan testing. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dengan sembilan narasumber dari berbagai unit kerja di perguruan tinggi, menghasilkan 74 kebutuhan fungsional dan 12 kebutuhan non-fungsional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa high fidelity prototype yang dikembangkan sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna dan diuji menggunakan System Usability Scale (SUS), memperoleh skor usability sebesar 89,5, menunjukkan tingkat kegunaan yang sangat baik. Keterbatasan penelitian ini adalah belum adanya implementasi penuh dalam sistem informasi perguruan tinggi. Kontribusi penelitian ini terhadap akademisi adalah sebagai referensi perancangan sistem pengambilan keputusan berbasis design thinking, sedangkan bagi industri, penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar dalam pengembangan solusi decision support system (DSS) berbasis data. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat membantu perguruan tinggi dalam mengadopsi sistem pengambilan keputusan yang lebih efektif dan berbasis data
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
Penerapan Software-as-a-Service untuk Tata Kelola Arsip di Klinik Pratama Wieta Relasa Medika
Full text linkClinic staff and medical staff at the Wieta Relasa Medika Primary Clinic still do not master the use of applications for document service management. These conditions cause document management in the clinic to tend to be unstructured. The difficulties in finding documents at the clinic, duplication of documents and loss of documents are the underlying problems for implementing community service at the Wieta Relasa Medika Primary Clinic. By taking the theme of implementing Software-as-a-Service for document management, the community service activities that have been carried out can solve existing problems in terms of document management.
