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
GENDER ROLE ALLOCATION IN SELECTED COFFEE POSTHARVEST ACTIVITIES
Get PDFThis study analyzed the gender role allocation of wholesale-traders and coffee producers in their post harvest activities in Rejanglebong and Lebong District. It examined the major participants in the coffee postharvest subsystem, identified roles and characteristics, and their problems and needs in performing these roles. These were analyzed using descriptive statistics like frequency, percentage, mean, ranking and standard deviation. Twenty-five wholesale-traders and forty-three coffee producers served as respondents of this study. Coffee business is the major income source of the respondents. Decisions in carrying out postharvest activities were done solely by the males or jointly by males and females since males played the manager’s role. Problems encountered in performing coffee postharvest activities were: technical know-how in coffee processing; low and fluctuating prices; lack of storage facilities; occurrence of bad weather condition and too high coffee trees and difficulty in hiring laborers during peak season
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
ANALISIS KETERKAITAN ANTAR KELOMPOK BARANG DAN JASA PEMBENTUK INFLASI DI PROVINSI BENGKULU
No full textInflasi merupakan suatu ukuran kemampuan masyarakat terhadap daya beli pada komoditas barang dan jasa, peranan tim pengendali inflasi daerah (TPID) sangat dibutuhkan dalam memonitor pergerakan harga suatu komoditas barang dan jasa. Inflasi provinsi Bengkulu yang diwakili oleh kota Bengkulu beberapa kali tercatat sebagai kota dengan tingkat inflasi diatas rata-rata inflasi nasional. Dengan tingkat inflasi yang tinggi maka akan berdampak pada kemampuan daya beli masyarakat di suatu daerah. Penelitian ini berjudul “ Analisis Kerkaitan Antar Kelompok Barang dan Jasa Pembentuk Inflasi di provinsi Bengkulu Tahun 2008:1 – 2013:12 (data bulanan)”. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis keterkaitan dan kontribusi pengaruh dari pergerakan inflasi suatu kelompok barang dan jasa terhadap pergerakan barang dan jasa lainnya di provinsi Bengkulu selama periode 2008:1 – 2013:12 (data bulanan). Penelitian menggunakan data sekunder yang diambil dari berita resmi, publikasi Badan Pusat Statistik dengan periode observasi 72 bulan. Untuk menganalisa keterkaitan dan kontribusi pengaruh pergerakan inflasi suatu kelompok barang dan jasa lainya di provinsi Bengkulu digunakan analisis deskriptif dan uji VECM. Dari hasil perhitungan dapat dilihat bahwa keterkaitan antar kelompok IHK di provinsi Bengkulu sangat kuat yaitu rata-rata diatas 0,94 yang berarti bahwa bila terjadi shock pada satu kelompok akan memberikan keterkaitan kepada kelompok lainnya dan pengaruh pergerakan inflasi satu kelompok IHK memberikan kontribusi pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kelompok IHK lainya. Peran aktif TPID dalam mengendalikan dan menjaga kestabilan harga pasar sangat diharapkan, peran tersebut bisa berupa opsi kebijakan operasi pasar bersama instansi terkait, menjaga ketersedian stok barang dan membantu suplai barang yang tidak mampu dihasilkan oleh provinsi Bengkulu dan perlu memperhatikan sarana transportasi dan angkutan barang yang umumnya hasil industri berasal dari luar provinsi Bengkulu, yang melewati jalur lampung, padang & Sumatera Selatan, disini dituntut peran aktif dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Dinas Perhubungan dalam peningkatan sarana dan prasana penunjang tranportasi
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
Pelatihan Pemasaran Produk Melalui Instagram Di Kelurahan Pasar Bengkulu
Get PDFInternet use in Indonesia is increasing from time to time. The online marketplace provides convenience for businesses to expand their product market more cheaply and effectively. The Pasar Bengkulu Village does not have any shopping complexes or markets with permanent, semi-permanent or non-building buildings.

To sell their products on the market will require additional costs for transportation thereby reducing potential income. Therefore, this community service activity aims to provide a better understanding for the people of Pasar Bengkulu Village regarding the optimal use of Instagram to increase business income
