Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Pelatihan Pijat Bayi pada Kader Posyandu di dusun Konyo, Desa nangka, Kecamatan Menjalin
Get PDFMalnutrisi pada bayi dan balita dampaknya luas, sifatnya permanen dan tidak bisa diperbaiki. Rendahnya pemahaman Kader kesehatan terkait dengan pemantauan pertumbuhan anak merupakan salah satu penyebab meningkatnya angka malnutrisi dikarenakan tindakan koreksi yang terlambat atau bahkan terabaikan. Oleh karena itu, tim pengabdi memandang penting pemberian edukasi terkait pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak serta pelatihan pijat bayi bagi kader sebagai upaya optimasilasi tumbuh kembang anak. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Menjalin, Kabupaten Ngabang pada bulan November 2024. Sasaran kegiatan ini adalah kader sebanyak 10 orang. Pelatihan pijat bayi diselenggarakan selama dua hari. Pada hari pertama, peserta kegiatan diminta untuk mengisi pre-test sebelum pemberian materi. Adapun materi yang disampaikan antara lain edukasi terkait pentingnya pemantauan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan balita, serta demonstrasi pijat bayi. Peserta kegiatan difasilitasi untuk melakukan diskusi tanya jawab dan praktik pijat bayi pada phantom. Pada hari kedua, peserta kegiatan dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok dan masing-masing kelompok didampingi oleh satu orang tim pengabdi untuk melakukan pijat bayi. Di sesi terakhir, peserta kegiatan diminta untuk mengisi post-test. Kegiatan dilanjutkan dengan monitoring dan evaluasi pelaksanaan pijat bayi dan pemantauan pertumbuhan balita sasaran oleh peserta kegiatan. Target kegiatan ini dapat tercapai sesuai rencana, di mana terdapat peningkatan pemahaman sasaran terkait pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak, peningkatan keterampilan sasaran dalam melakukan pijat bayi, dan peningkatan berat badan balita sasaran
Topical Application of Olive Oil and Aloe Vera Gel on Pregnant Women's Striae Gravidarum
Get PDFOne of the physical changes that often occur in 50-90% of pregnant women is the appearance of striae gravidarum. Striae gravidarum is caused by stretching of the skin during pregnancy. The impact is a decrease in confidence, itchy, hot, and dry sensations, and cause emotional distress that can interfere with pregnancy. Olive oil and Aloe vera gel are good natural ingredients for skincare. The purpose of this study was to find out the effectiveness of the topical application of Olive oil and Aloe vera gel against the incidence of pregnant women’s striae gravidarum in the Working Area of Puskesmas Kedungmundu 2020. This research was a quantitative study with a quasi-experiment control group design with pretest-posttest. Sampling techniques use purposive sampling. The results of bivariate olive oil analysis with the Wilcoxon test showed P-value (0.647 α 0.05), so there was no effect of topical application of olive oil on the incidence of striae gravidarum. The results of bivariate analysis of Aloe vera gel with Wilcoxon test showed a P-value (0.642 α 0.05), so there was no effect of topical application of Aloe vera gel on the incidence of striae gravidarum. Based on the Independent Test T-Test the difference between the two groups pre-post obtained P-value (1 α 0.05), then there was no difference in the effectiveness of the topical application of olive oil and aloe vera gel to the incidence of striae gravidarum in pregnant women in The Region of Puskesmas Kedungmundu 2020
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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 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
