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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
Era Covid-19, Bagaimana Penerapan Akuntansi Zakat dan Infak/Sedekah BAZNAS Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan akuntansi zakat dan infak/sedekah BAZNAS Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan di era Covid-19. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis deskriptif, dengan menggunakan data primer dan sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa BAZNAS Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan belum menerapkan PSAK 109. BAZNAS Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan perlu meningkatkan pemahaman sumber daya manusia, melakukan pelatihan PSAK 109 tentang akuntansi zakat yang mengatur pengakuan, pengukuran, penyajian dan pengungkapan transaksi zakat dan infak/sedekah guna mewujudkan transparansi dan akuntabilitas dari lembaga ini
Analisis Kinerja Keuangan Perusahaan Perdagangan Eceran di Indonesia Selama Tahun Pertama Masa Pandemi Covid 19
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kinerja keuangan perusahaan perdagangan eceran yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia selama masa pandemi covid-19 tahun pertama di tahun 2020. Populasi adalah 26 perusahaan perdagangan eceran yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia pada tahun 2020. Sampel sebanyak 24 perusahaan yang telah melakukan publikasi terhadap laporan keuangan 2020. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa profitabilitas perseroan dalam masa pandemi covid-19 jika ditinjau dari ROA, ROE dan PM dapat dikatakan tidak sehat, karena rata-rata profitabilitas perusahaan berada di bawah nilai rasio standar industri. Sementara itu, likuiditas perseroan dalam masa pandemi covid-19 jika ditinjau dari CR, DER dan DAR juga dapat dikatakan tidak sehat. Hal tersebut terlihat dari nilai rasio yang rata jauh dari nilai rasio standar industry
Governing of Village Fund in South Sulawesi
This study aims to contribute to the development of a village fund management model in South Sulawesi. To achieve the research objectives, data collection was carried out by collecting secondary data and conducting follow-up interviews in sample villages in South Sulawesi. The analysis data that used was the descriptive qualitative analysis. The results showed that the stages in managing village funds in several villages in South Sulawesi Province had generally been carried out well. However, several obstacles are still faced by implementers in the village. Communication is one of them. Another factor that has the potential to become an obstacle in implementing the stages of village fund management is Competence. Based on the results of interviews with research informants, it was found that the backgrounds of village fund managers were mostly not in accordance with the fields that had to be handled. This in turn has an impact on the performance of the village fund managers
