    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

    Industri pangan di Indonesia menjadi alternatif dan trend di pasar global. Sistem manajemen mutu berperan menjaga konsistensi perusahaan dalam mengimplementasikan sistem manajemen mutu yang terus berkembang di industri pangan seperti British Retail Consortium (BRC) Versi 8 . Audit internal adalah salah satu alat verifikasi yang dilakukan secara Internal oleh perusahaan untuk memastikan seluruh prosedur, instruksi kerja, maupun dokumentasi diimplementasikan dengan konsistensi dan integritas yang mumpuni. Namun, terdapat beberapa permasalahan dalam menilai konsistensi dan integritas tersebut antara lain, penilaian auditor sebagai manusia cenderung bersikap ragu terkait interpretasi standard, menggunakan kesan umum dalam penilaiannya, salah menentukan klasifikasi/grading temuan, sehingga hasil audit tidak menghasilkan penilaian secara kuantitatif. Hal tersebut menginspirasi untuk menggunakan model Audit Mutu Neutrosofik/ Neutrosophic Quality Audit (NQA). Model yang diusulkan menggunakan Single Value Neutrosophic Numbers (SVNN). Simplified Neutrosophic Weighted Geometric Average Operator (SNWGAO) dan cosine similarity degree. Didapatkan hasil klasifikasi predikat yaitu Satisfactory, Need Refinement, Need Improvement, Immediate Attention. Auditee dengan klasifikasi Immediate Attention meliputi Maintenance (0.57), HACCP Leader (0.57), TACGA (0.57), Sales (0.57), dan Export (0.57). Model inovatif ini menjadi alternatif dalam meningkatkan kualitas audit sistem manajemen mutu keamanan pangan di industri pangan. Adanya tingkatan predikat capaian hasil audit tentu mempermudah perusahaan dalam menentukan keputusan prioritas untuk melakukan perbaikan suatu departemen. =================================================================================================================================== The food industry in Indonesia has becoming an alternative and trend in the global market. The quality management system played a role in maintaining company consistency in implementing a quality management system that continued to develop in the food industry such as the British Retail Consortium (BRC) 8 th Version. Internal audit is one of the verification tools carried out internally by the company to ensure that all procedures, work instructions and documentation has been implemented with consistency and integrity. However, there are many problems in assessing consistency and integrity, among others, the auditor's assessment as a human being tends to be doubtful related to standard interpretation, using a general impression in his assessment, incorrectly determining the classification / grading of findings, so the audit results has not produced a quantitative assessment. The research aims to use of the Neutrosophic Quality Audit (NQA) model. The proposed model uses Single Value Neutrosophic Numbers (SVNN). Simplified Neutrosophic Weighted Geometric Average Operator (SNWGAO) and cosine similarity degree. The predicate classification results obtained are Satisfactory, Needs Improvement, Needs Improvement, Immediate Attention. Auditee with the classification of Attention Attendedate Maintenance (0.57), HACCP Leader (0.57), TACGA (0.57), Sales (0.57), and Export (0.57). This innovative model is an alternative in improving the quality of food safety quality management systems in the food industry. The existence of the predicate level of achievement of audit results is certainly easy for companies to determine priority decisions to make improvements to the department

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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
