    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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 purpose of this study was to see how the development of Aceh\u27s embroidery creative economy in increasing the income of women who are members of several groups of Acehnese embroidery craftsmen in Dayah Daboh village and Weu Krueng village, Montasik district, Aceh Besar district. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection techniques are observation, interviews and documentation. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that the development and sustainability of the creative economy of the embroidery industry in the two villages has looked good and can increase the income of women craftsmen. Of the 150 women who are members of several artisan groups as informants, it was found that 100% of them stated that their income had increased rapidly from year to year. In addition, the income from the production of the embroidery industry of these craftsmen can meet their daily needs. With the development of the embroidery craft as one of the creative economic efforts, it can increase the income of women craftsmen so that they can help their family life and can help family income in addition to the income earned by their husbands

    PENGARUH PENDAPATAN DAN SUKU BUNGA DEPOSITO TERHADAP PERMINTAAN UANG M1 DAN M2 DI INDONESIA

    The study aims to analyse the influence of revenue (which is derived from the gross domestic product data) and 3 month deposit interest rates on the demand for M1 and M2 money in Indonesia using quarterly data from 1992. I-2017. IV. Through the test of symmetry (Wald Statistics test) indicates that there is a shifting allocation of money demand from the demand for money M1 to M2 money demand. The analytical model used is the smallest quadratic method (OLS) and the SURE estimation model to test how much influence the dependent variable affects independent variables. The results of the study found that the use of the SURE model in this study was better and more efficient than using the smallest squared method model equation (OLS) because of the SURE method, evidenced by the standard (SE) and P-value (Prob) Errors of the SURE method are smaller than the standard error (SE) in the OLS method and all P-values of the two equations that are estimated through the SURE model are the magnitude of α < 0.05. So it can be concluded that there is a contemporary correlation between faults or residues of different equations. Furthermore, regression analysis results showed that the income variables had a positive and significant influence on the demand for money for M1 and M2, while 3-month deposit interest rates had negative and significant effects on money demand for M1 and M2.Keywords: Money request, income, 3 months deposit interest rate, OLS, SURE

    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
