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
Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Keberhasilan Studi Penerima Bidikmisi di Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa
Full text linkBidikmisi is an aid program provided by the government within a certain
period of time. Bidikmisi recipients who do not complete their studies within the
specified time must pay their own tuition fees. The percentage of students who
complete their studies on time in each batch is not more than 50 percent. Therefore,
the factors that influence the success of the study of Bidikmisi recipients need to be
investigated. The purpose of this research is to analyze the socioeconomic profile,
academic performance, and factors that influence the success of Bidikmisi recipient
studies, so that recommendations can be formulated for the management of
Bidikmisi in increasing the studies success of Bidikmisi recipients.
The population in this study were recipients of Bidikmisi batch 2014 and 2015
who had completed their studies before 2020, namely as many as 537 people.
Respondents were selected by random sampling technique and the number of
samples was 247 people. In this study, the endogenous variable (Y) is the studies
success, while the exogenous variable (X) is internal factors, external factors,
service quality and financial aid. Technical processing of data using Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL 8.8 software and descriptive analysis with
Microsoft Excel and SPSS 22.
Based on the results, most of the recipients of Bidikmisi were women, aged
18 years old and came from Banten area. The education level of fathers is at most
SMA / equivalent and mothers are SD / equivalent. Most of the parents' income is
low with the percentage of the number of family dependents of at most 1-2 people.
Most of the graduate occupations of Bidikmisi recipients after graduation are
private employees with the highest percentage salary in the low category of income.
At the time of data collection, the occupations of Bidikmisi recipient graduates were
mostly private employees with the highest percentage having high income. Most of
the Bidikmisi recipients have a very satisfactory GPA, graduated on time, and got
their first job quickly after graduating.
The level of evaluation of the overall model fit of this study is good fit, it
mean that the design of the research model can be used to see the factors that
influence the success of the study, so that hypothesis testing can be carried out. In
the measurement model fit test, there is one indicator, namely X43 which is invalid,
which is then removed from the model. In the fit test of the structural model, internal
factors have the greatest influence on the success of the study. The results of
hypothesis testing indicate that: 1) Internal factors have a significant effect on the
student success; 2) External factors have a significant effect on the student success;
3) Service quality has a significant effect on the student success; and 4) There is no
influence between financial aid on student success.
The Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method shows that the order of
indicators that are the top priority in increasing the success of a study is academic
interest, community environment, reliability and empathy. Managerial implications
that can be carried out by Bidikmisi managers to increase the success of studies
include increasing the academic interest of Bidikmisi recipients, maintaining the environmental conditions of the campus community, improving the quality of
information, and paying more attention to the interests of Bidikmisi recipients
through wholehearted, friendly and empathetic services
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
