Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Kearifan Lokal Siri’ Na Pacce’ Dalam Perspektif Moralitas Ekonomi Pada Pedagang Kaki Lima Anjungan Pantai Losari
Get PDFThis research was conducted to find out the local wisdom of siri\u27 na pacce\u27 in the perspective of economic morality in street vendors at the Losari Beach Pavilion. Qualitative research with an ethnographic approach is the method used in this study because it analyzes a culture. Data collection was carried out by observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies with informants of street vendors who trade at the Losari Beach Pavilion. The analysis is carried out in three stages, namely data condentation, data presentation, and data verification. The results of the data analysis show that there is economic morality with the perspective of local wisdom of siri\u27 na pacce\u27 in the Bugis-Makassar tribe. This attitude of morality consists of honesty, caring for others, and shame. The implications of these three moral attitudes are obedience to economic institutions, the existence of controllers or reminders, and the reduction of economic disparities between fellow street vendors at the Losari Beach Pavilion
PENGARUH PERENCANAAN STRATEGI BISNIS TERHADAP KINERJA USAHA KECIL MENENGAH YANG DIMEDIASI STRATEGI KEUNGGULAN KOMPETITIF
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to determine the role of competitive advantage in mediating the effect of business strategy planning on SME performance. The research sample of 139 SMEs using proportional cluster random sampling techniques were tested using AMOS structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. The results showed that the business strategy planning implemented by SMEs was formal business strategy planning, where the application of increasingly formal business strategy planning was able to improve the performance of SMEs and be able to provide a competitive advantage for SMEs. SMEs need to carry out a gradual evaluation and submit their ideas to the members so that the performance of SMEs can be achieved in line with expectations. SMEs need to be more mature in planning business strategies that will be taken, sorting out the advantages of what is owned and not owned by competitors where this will provide its own value for SMEs. The suitability of the plan and strategy chosen can provide better performance than before
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
