    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

    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

    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

    Roads are the main infrastructure that is very influential in the economy in an area. On Road Sungai Linau – Bandar Jaya, Siak Kecil District, Riau Province, it is the main connecting road to several villages in Bengkalis with a road length of + 1570 m. The condition of the road is currently in a state of disrepair and inadequate for public traffic. In a project to get quality work results and design life requires a good and correct implementation method according to specifications. In planning the method of implementing the foundation layer work on this road, the author refers to the General Specifications, 2018. In division 5 concerning Grained Pavement and Cement Concrete Pavement. Where to explain about the stages of preparation until the work has actually been completed. After planning the method of implementing the foundation layer work on the road, there are several steps or stages that need to be carried out starting from the preparation of heavy equipment and aggregate material, construction safety plan management, installation of width and thickness stakes for base class A and class B aggregates to be spread, transportation material from the quarry to the laying location, laying of aggregates, compaction process, layer thickness testing and aggregate density testing

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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

    The Supreme Court Decision Number 55P / HUM / 2018 can be concluded that former corruption convicts can nominate themselves as candidates for DPR, Provincial DPRD and Regency / City DPRD members by ignoring the provisions of Article 4 of the General Election Commission Regulation Number 20 of 2018 concerning Nominations for Members of the DPR, Provincial DPRD and Regency / City DPRD, it shows that there is a legal dilemma regarding a rule, but according to the author of the KPU formulation the prohibition against former corruption convicts from becoming legislative candidates is relevant. Because the former convicted corruption convict will be nominated as a public official. This position will allow them to regain access to legislative, budgetary and supervisory powers. The state must also protect larger interests, namely voters and citizens. The main problem of this research is How is the Relationship between the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court in Testing the Legislation in Indonesia, and What are the Implications of Decision Number 55P / Hum / 2018 Regarding the Testing of the General Election Commission Regulation Number 20 of 2018 concerning Nominations for Members of the DPR, Provincial DPRD and DPRD Regency / City. The research method used is Normative research, which is research that intends to study the legal norms of testing statutory regulations, while the nature of this research is descriptive. The results of research and discussion are known that the relationship between the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court in the Judicial Review of Legislation in Indonesia is that it can lead to dualism in the examination of laws and regulations which results in inconsistencies in the Supreme Court Decision and the Constitutional Court Decision which can affect the institutional relationship between fellow judicial institutions but also image and prestige. Court decisions, but can also lead to legal confusion and which will undoubtedly harm the interests of the justice-seeking community, and the implications of Decision Number 55P / Hum / 2018 concerning the Testing of General Election Commission Regulation Number 20 of 2018 concerning the Nomination of Members of DPR, Provincial DPRD and Regency / City DPRD are The Supreme Court's decision implies that former convicts in corruption cases can nominate themselves as candidates with the conditions stipulated by the KPU Election Law and must make adjustments between PKPU and the Supreme Court decision by making revisions or changes to PKPU. In addition, the synchronization of norms related to limiting the political rights of a citizen must be included in the law, not regulated in statutory regulations under the PKPU in casu law and must be reviewed by taking into account the hierarchical system of legislation

    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
