    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

    Industrial revolution 4.0 accelerates the need for resources with contextual skills relevant to technological advances. Renewable energy is one of the global issues that need to be followed up into one of the concerns in education. The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning concept is seen as a learning innovation that accommodates the skills needed in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. In addition, through the design thinking approach, students are facilitated to realize creativity or ideas in solving surrounding problems. This study aims to reconstruct the STEAM learning model with a combination of design thinking approaches to renewable energy learning materials. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to data sources from the literature. The analysis tool used is Miles and Huberman interactive model data analysis. The purpose of this research is to formulate a combined framework of the STEAM learning model and design thinking that can be applied to renewable energy learning materials

    Batik merupakan salah satu warisan budaya yang telah ditetapkan oleh UNESCO sebagai Warisan Kemanusiaan untuk Budaya Lisan dan Non-Bendawi (Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity) sejak Oktober 2009. Kesenian batik adalah kesenian diatas kain untuk dijadikan pakaian yang awal mulanya hanya dipakai oleh keluarga kerajaan saja. Kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan di bidang teknologi informasi dan komunikasi terutama penggunaan perangkat genggam smartphone android telah mengubah cara pandang dan gaya hidup dalam menjalankan kegiatan sehari-hari. Hal ini berdampak pula pada kegiatan kesenian yang bersifat tradisional. Semakin berkurangnya minat dari masyarakat untuk belajar atau sekedar mengenal tentang motif batik melatar belakangi permasalahan tersebut, aplikasi ini hadir untuk memadukan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dalam bidang teknologi dengan memuat konten yang bersifat tradisional seperti batik khususnya di Kabupaten Ngawi agar masyarakat dapat melestarikannya. Aplikasi ini dibuat untuk memperkenalkan motif batik Ngawi dan juga memhami setiap maknanya yang dapat diakses dimana saja dan kapan saja melalui smartphone android. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah merancang, membuat dan menguji aplikasi NgaBatik sehingga didapat produk aplikasi pengenalan motif batik digital berbasis aplikasi android yang dapat difungsikan dengan baik keseluruhan baik sistem dan kegunaan fiturnya. Metode yang digunakan adalah modifikasi model prosedural yang menjabarkan tahapan prosedural yang harus diikuti dalam menghasilkan produk tertentu. Hasil kepuasan pengguna dengan menggunakan kuisioner menunjukkan tingkat kepuasan pengguna sebesar 80,9 % yang berarti aplikasi sangatlah memuaskan dimata penggunanya

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    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
