    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    KAJIAN SUMUR RESAPAN DALAM MEREDUKSI DEBIT LIMPASAN PADA KAWASAN LANCANG GARAM LHOKSEUMAWE

    No full text
    Pertumbuhan dan perkembangan aktifitas masyarakat serta penutupan lahan permukaan tanah oleh perumahan, jalan dan lahan kedap air di desa Lancang Garam mengakibatkan limpasan air hujan meningkat dan pengisian air tanah berkurang. Salah satu usaha untuk mengurangi air limpasan dan mengembalikan fungsi resapan adalah penerapan sumur resapan air hujan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk meminimalkan kelebihan air yang tidak tertampung dengan baik sehingga menyebabkan banjir. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini yaitu Debit yang keluar pada wilayah Lancang Garam jika tanpa sumur resapan untuk tipe I (60-100 m2) sebesar 0,415 m3/det, tipe II (100-200 m2) sebesar 0,934 m3/det dan tipe III (200-300 m2) sebesar 0,207 m3/det. Besarnya debit setelah ada sumur resapan untuk tipe I (60-100 m2) didapat 0,183 m3/det, tipe II (100-200 m2) didapat 0,364 m3/det dan tipe III (200-300 m2) didapat 0,081 m3/det. Kawasan Lancang Garam dapat mereduksi debit limpasan yang terjadi setiap unit rumah berdasarkan pengelompokkan tipe rumah yaitu tipe I (60-100 m2) didapat 0,232 m3/det, tipe II (100-200 m2) didapat 0,570 m3/det dan tipe III (200-300 m2) didapat 0,126 m3/det.Kata kunci: debit limpasan, curah hujan, sumur resapa

    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

    ANALISIS KARAKTERISTIK SEDIMEN DASAR SUNGAI TERHADAP PARAMETER KEDALAMAN

    Sedimen dasar sungai yang terbawa oleh aliran akan membentuk geometrik sungai. Kekasaran ukuran sedimen dan bentuk butiran bahan yang membentuk luas penampang basah akan menimbulkan efek hambatan terhadap aliran. Sampel yang digunakan adalah ukuran geometrik aliran sungai dan sedimen dasar pada pias-pias sungai yaitu di Meunasah Punti, Jembatan Meunasah Pange, Jembatan Lhoksukon dan Landing. Penelitian material dasar menggunakan analisis saringan yang mengacu pada grain size analysis (ASTM 422-63). Dalam menentukan kekasaran aliran ada beberapa macam pendekatan atau formulasi yang umum digunakan, yaitu :  koefisien kekasaran Manning, koefisien kekasaran  Anderson, koefisien kekasaran  Jarret, koefisien kekasaran  Raudkivi, koefisien kekasaran  Subramaya, koefisien kekasaran  Meyer dan koefisien kekasaran  Muller. Butiran tanah halus (d £ 0,150 mm) pada tengah penampang tidak sempat mengendap, sedangkan pada bagian pinggir sungai kecepatan lebih kecil sehingga butiran tanah halus terjadi pengendapan. Hubungan Karakteristik material dasar sungai terhadap geometriknya menunjukkan bahwa pada bagian tengah sungai mempunyai kandungan terbanyak adalah tanah berbutir kasar (d ³ 0,150 mm) sedangkan pada bagian pinggir sungai mempunyai kandungan terbanyak adalah tanah berbutir halus (d £ 0,150 mm). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan koefisien kekasaran dengan berbagai formula diperoleh. Pada formulasi kekasaran Manning diperoleh nilai kekasaran minimum sebesar 0,0299 dan untuk koefisien kekasaran maksimum sebesar 0,0395 dengan nilai rata-rata 0,0347, sedangkan pada tabel Manning dengan tipe saluran alam berkelok-kelok, bersih, berceruk dan bertebing diperoleh nilai minimum 0,033 sedangkan nilai maksimum 0,04
