    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

    This study aims to describe the relationship between Boven Digoel and the Indonesian National Movement. The method used is historical, they are heuristics, criticizing sources, interpretation and historiography. The result shows that Boven Digoel concentration camp is different from that of Germany’s Nazy: in Boven Digoel, nobody got harassment. However, it shows a psychological and institutional mistery. Keywords: Boven Digoel, Indonesian National Movement, Concentration Camp

    AbstrakDiskursus tentang Papua yang dikembangkan selalu dikaitkan dengan tiga isu utama yang saling berkelindan yaitu konflik, politik, dan sumber daya alam. Padahal Papua memiliki kekayaan kearifan lokal yang luar biasa. Pendekatan penelitian adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain penelitian fenomenologi. Penelitian ini juga didukung metode sejarah yang meliputi: penelusuran sumber sejarah, kritik sumber, interpretasi dan eksplanasi, dan historiografi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kearfian lokal Papua dalam bentuk Para-Para Adat,  Tikar Adat,   Bakar Batu dan Bayar Kepala, memberikan nilai budaya kepada tatanan hidup dan relasi sosial. Kearifan lokal yang menjadi modal sosial  untuk membangun dan mengembangkan perdamaian di Papua. Modal sosial ini bila dibangun, dirawat, dikembangkan, dan diimplementasikan dapat menjadi wahana peredam dalam menyelesaikan konflik yang terjadi. Keberagaman di Papua baik suku bangsa, ras, agama, budaya, dan lainnya menjadi sisi positif dalam menggerakkan pembangunan untuk mensejahterakan seluruh penduduk yang tinggal di Papua. Namun demikian pemberdayaan penduduk lokal dalam segala aspek kehidupan adalah hal yang paling urgen. Sehingga terjalin relasi dinamis dan sinergis antara etnic nasionalisme dengan state nasionalisme dan melahirkan serta menumbuhkembangkan civic nasionalisme. Kata Kunci: kearifan lokal; modal sosial; perdamaian; Papua; AbstractThe discourse about Papua that has been developed has always been linked to three main interrelated issues, namely conflict, politics, and natural resources. Though Papua has a wealth of extraordinary local wisdom. The research approach is a qualitative approach to phenomenological research design. This research is also supported by historical methods which include: tracing historical sources, source criticism, interpretation and explanation, and historiography. The results showed that the local wisdom  were in the form Para-Para Adat,  Tikar Adat,   Bakar Batu and Bayar Kepala, giving cultural values to the order of life and social relations. Local wisdom becomes social capital to build and develop peace in Papua. This social capital if it is built, maintained, developed and implemented can be a vehicle of silencing in resolving conflicts that occur. Diversity in Papua, both ethnic groups, races, religions, cultures, and others, is a positive side in driving development for the welfare of all residents living in Papua. However, empowering local people in all aspects of life is the most urgent thing. So that there is a dynamic and synergic relationship between ethnic nationalism and state nationalism and giving birth and developing civic nationalism. Keywords: local wisdom; social capital; peace; Papua

    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

    No full text
    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
