    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

    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

    Latar Belakang : Perilaku kesehatan reproduksi, yang mencakup pengetahuan, sikap dan tindakan, sangat mempengaruhi timbulnya masalah kesehatan reproduksi remaja. Apabila pengetahuan dan sikap dari remaja tentang kesehatan reproduksi itu baik maka dapat dipastikan bahwa perilaku kesehatan reproduksi remaja pun baik, sebaliknya apabila pengetahuan dan sikap kurang baik maka perilaku kesehatan reproduksi juga dapat dikatakan kurang baik. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dan sikap dengan perilaku kesehatan reproduksi pada pelajar di SMA Negeri 3 Manado. Metode Penelitian : Metode penelitian adalah survei analitik dengan desain penelitian yaitu cross sectional (potong lintang). Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan  agustus-november 2019 di SMA Negeri 3 Manado. Pupulasi dalam penelitian ini ada peserta didik di SMA Negeri 3 Manado yang berjumlah 1006. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berumlah 91 sampel.  Teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu simple random sampling. Analisis data adalah analisis univariat dan bivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukan hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan perilaku kesehatan reproduksi  menunjukan p value sebesar 0,0001. Hubungan antara sikap dengan perilaku kesehatan reproduksi p value sebesar 0,0005.Kesimpulan: penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan dan sikap dengan perilaku kesehatan reproduksi pada pelajar di SMA Negeri 3 Manado. Saran: Ditujukan bagi pihak sekolah,  bagi siswa, bagi orang tua dan bagi peneliti selanjutnya sehubungan dengan perilaku kesehatan reproduksi remaja secara umum.  Kata Kunci : Pengetahuan, Sikap, Perilaku Kesehatan Reproduksi ABSTRACT  Background: Reproductive health behavior, which includes knowledge, attitudes, and actions, significantly affects the emergence of adolescent reproductive health problems. If the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents about reproductive health are positive and adequate, it can be concluded that it affects adolescent reproductive health behaviors positively. Likewise, if the knowledge and attitudes are inadequate and negative, then reproductive health behavior can also be said to be unfavorable. This research was conducted to determine the relationship of knowledge and attitudes with reproductive health behaviors on students at Manado 3 state highschool. Methods: The research method used in this research was the quantitative analytical method. It was carried out using a cross-sectional approach (latitude post). This research was conducted at Manado 3 state high school during the period of August to November 2019. The audience in this research were 1006 students from Manado 3 state highschool. The number of samples used was 91 samples. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The result of this research showed that the relation between knowledge and reproductive health behaviors produced a p-value of 0.0001.  The relation between knowledge and attitude of reproductive health produced a p-value of 0.0005.  Summary: Thus, this research showed that there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes of adolescent reproductive health behavior on students at Manado 3 state highschool. Suggestions: Addressed to the school, students, parents, and also to future researchers on the topic of adolescent reproductive health behaviors. Keywords: Knowledge, Attitudes, Reproductive Health Behavio
