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

The meaning of posintuwu receiving in the Mewalo culture of the Pamona Tribe Community
Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengertian piutang dalam budaya Mewalo suku Pamona di Kabupaten Poso Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Masyarakat Pamona memiliki kebiasaan membawa atau memperdagangkan barang-barang (posintuwu) yang dapat berupa uang tunai, beras, atau ternak, pada setiap pertemuan. Kegiatan yang disebut Mewalo ini menimbulkan piutang dari pihak yang membawa materi. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan etnografi. Hasil penelitian menemukan tiga makna piutang dalam budaya Mewalo suku Pamona, yaitu pondika (aset), pompatoka (persiapan kumpul), dan Sintuwu ri Pokasangkompo (satuan). Makna-makna tersebut menjadi dasar masyarakat untuk melestarikan budaya gotong royong dalam kegiatan Mewalo sebagai bentuk persatuan dalam ikatan kekeluargaan di antara masyarakat Pamona.This research aims to find the meaning of accounts receivable in the Mewalo culture of the Pamona tribe in Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The Pamona people have a habit of bringing or trading materials (posintuwu), which may take the form of cash, rice, or livestock, to every gathering. This activity, called Mewalo, results in receivables from those who bring the material. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively with ethnography. Results found three meanings of receivables in the Mewalo culture of the Pamona tribe, namely pondika (asset), pompatoka (gathering preparation), and Sintuwu ri Pokasangkompo (unit). These meanings form the basis of the community to preserve the culture of helping each other in Mewalo activities as a form of unity in kinship ties among the Pamona people
Konsep Kesuksesan Sistem Informasi Keuangan Daerah Berbasis Teknologi.
Full text linkTujuan penelitian ini adalah membangun konsep kesuksesan Sistem Informasi Keuangan Daerah (SIKD) berbasis teknologi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi melalui tahapan analisis: epoche, reduksi fenomenologi, variasi imajinasi, dan sintesis makna. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan analisis dokumen yang terkait dengan SIKD berbasis teknologi. Penelitian ini menemukan tiga dimensi yang dapat djadikan sebagai dasar dalam menilai kesuksesan SIKD berbasis teknologi yaitu, kualitas sistem, kualitas output, dan dampak sistem terhadap aparatur. Kualitas sistem merupakan derajat atau tingkat baik buruknya sebuah sistem. Kualitas output adalah kualitas keluaran dari sistem informasi. Dampak terhadap aparatur merupakan efek dari implementasi sistem terhadap perilaku pegawai. Pijakan dari dimensi kualitas sistem meliputi efektifitas sistem sebagai alat pengendalian, sistem dapat berfungsi sebagai media yang berhasil guna, tepat guna, dan ekonomis (efektif dan efisien), serta tingkat keamanan sistem yang memadai. Pijakan dari dimensi kualitas output adalah kemampuan sistem dalam menghasilkan LKPD sesuai undang-undang dan akuntabilitas dari LKPD. Sedangkan pijakan dari dimensi dampak terhadap aparatur adalah sistem dapat menjadi media dalam meningkatkan komitmen aparatur sebagai abdi negara, penguatan terhadap derajat etika dan moralitas aparatur, serta terjadi peningkatan terhadap kinerja aparatur. Konsep kesuksesan sistem informasi yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini sesuai dengan karakter organisasi di sektor publik khususnya dalam konteks pengelolaan keuangan daerah. Selain itu tujuan dari konsep yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan kesuksesan yang tidak sebatas pada implementasi sistemnya, akan tetapi kesuksesan dalam mewujudkan aparatur dan pemerintah yang amanah dalam bingkai pengelolaan keuangan daerah yang baik (good financial governance)
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
