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
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
ANALISIS TRANSFER INFORMASI INTRA INDUSTRI PADA PENGUMUMAN FINANCIAL DISTRESS
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the intra-industry information transfer incurred capital market with the announcement of financial distress. Businesses in the research samples are all companies that announced delisted and also nondelisted companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2008-2014. In this study, non-delisted companies are classified into the company to grow and do not grow as measured by proxy price of IOS that MBVA, MBVE, and PER. The research sample using purposive sampling method. Samples obtained are as many as 21 companies delisted (reporter) and 202 companiesnon-delisted (non-reporter) with the classification of 102 companies and 100 companies not grow up. Hypothesis testing using one sample t-test. The results of the first test that hypothesis, H10 received stating that there are no intra-industry information transfer on the non-reporter announcement of financial distress. Hiotesis second, H20 received stating that there is no difference in the effect on the non-reporter to the announcement of financial distress.

Pengembangan Model Magang Mahasiswa Politeknik yang Diarahkan pada Pencapaian Standar Kompetensi Jenjang KKNI untuk Profesi Bidang Rekayasa
No full textMagang sebagai matakuliah wajib di polteknik diyakini sebagai kegiatan akademik yang penting, sebagaimana terungkap dari data awal penelitian ini. Namun sebagian besar politeknik belum memahami potensi magang dengan baik, khususnya bidang rekayasa dan belum mengelolanya secara optimal. Hal ini tampak dari empat indikator, yaitu: pengelolaan magang belum dilakukan secara lembaga tetapi individual oleh mahasiswa; magang dilaksanakan tanpa perencanaan kegiatan yang terstruktur; tidak ada standarisasi penilaian hasil magang; informasi magang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh mahasiswa, dosen maupun politeknik, sehingga implikasi magang kurang signifikan baik pada individu mahasiswa, maupun pada peningkatan mutu pendidikan politeknik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mengungkap aspek-aspek kunci yang dapat digunakan untuk pengembangan program magang; (2) mengetahui seberapa jauh magang dapat meningkatkan kualitas lulusan politeknik; (3) menemukan pola pengelolaan magang yang efektif untuk meningkatkan kualitas lulusan politeknik dan menguatkan jaringan kerjasama antara politeknik dan industri; (4) memanfaatkan magang sebagai pelatihan untuk mendapatkan sertifikat kompetensi bidang profesi tertentu.
Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terutama pendekatan kualitatif yang didukung oleh data kuantitatif yang diperlukan untuk memperkuat pembuatan konseptual pengembangan magang. Pendekatan ini dipilih untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang sumber masalah yang tidak dapat terungkap melalui pendekatan kuantitatif. Metode analisis deskriptif digunakan sebagai metode utama dalam riset ini dan didukung oleh analisis kuantitatif. Penelitian ini melibatkan empat industri menengah dan tiga sampel Politeknik yang dianggap dapat mewakili setiap jenis pendidikan politeknik, dan dapat digunakan sebagai acuan untuk pengembangan program magang ini.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) setidaknya ada lima aspek kunci yang perlu diperhatikan dalam merancang program magang bidang rekayasa, yaitu aspek konteks, desain kurikulum, pengembangan skills, asesmen dan rekognisi, serta aspek pengelolaan magang; (2) kompetensi profesional merupakan capaian pembelajaran yang sangat menentukan kualitas lulusan politeknik; (3) magang yang dikelola pada level “B-to-B” sangat potensial untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan politeknik; (4) magang yang diarahkan pada pencapaian standar kompetensi dapat dikembangkan menjadi pelatihan sertifikasi kompetensi yang diakui hasilny
