Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Peningkatan kapasitas lansia dalam mencegah cedera melalui latihan keseimbangan postural dengan media Balance Ball
Full text linkElderly individuals often face the risk of falls and injuries, which can significantly impact their overall quality of life. To address this issue, targeted interventions are needed to enhance their balance and physical fitness. This community service program aimed to provide training on physical activity models using Balance Ball media to improve organ function, muscle strength, balance, and prevent the risk of falls or injuries. The program was conducted at the Tresna Werdha Mandalika Social Institution in Mataram, involving 30 elderly participants. The implementation methods included socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and program sustainability. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants' balance after completing the program. Before the training, 50% of the elderly exhibited poor balance, but this figure dropped to 3% post-training. Meanwhile, the percentage of those with moderate balance increased from 34% to 40%, and those with good balance rose from 16% to 57%. These improvements were supported by the participants' high enthusiasm and engagement throughout all stages of the program. This initiative is expected to provide tangible benefits for the elderly, enhance their well-being, and serve as a sustainable model for improving quality of life.Lansia sering menghadapi risiko jatuh dan cedera yang dapat memengaruhi kualitas hidup mereka secara keseluruhan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini, diperlukan intervensi yang dapat meningkatkan keseimbangan dan kebugaran fisik mereka. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pelatihan model aktivitas jasmani menggunakan media Balance Ball untuk meningkatkan fungsi organ tubuh, kekuatan otot, keseimbangan, serta mencegah risiko cedera atau jatuh. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Mandalika Mataram, melibatkan 30 lansia sebagai peserta. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan keberlanjutan program. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada keseimbangan peserta setelah mengikuti program. Sebelum latihan, 50% lansia memiliki keseimbangan yang kurang, namun angka ini menurun menjadi 3% setelah program dilaksanakan. Sementara itu, tingkat keseimbangan cukup meningkat dari 34% menjadi 40%, dan tingkat keseimbangan baik meningkat dari 16% menjadi 57%. Peningkatan ini didukung oleh antusiasme peserta dalam mengikuti setiap tahap kegiatan. Diharapkan program ini memberikan manfaat nyata bagi lansia, meningkatkan kesejahteraan mereka, dan dapat diterapkan secara berkelanjutan untuk mendukung kualitas hidup yang lebih bai

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
