    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

    Penyalahgunaan narkotika melalui jarum suntik terus meningkat telah memasuki tahap memprihatinkan dan paling populer. Di Provinsi Sumatera Utara khususnya di Kota Medan, pada tahun 2009 diperkirakan sebanyak 33.370 orang Pengguna Narkotika Suntik (Penasun). Salah satu dampak buruk yang terjadi yaitu setidaknya terdapat 678 (40%) Orang Dengan HIV/AIDS (ODHA) dari sebanyak 1.715 yang memiliki riwayat sebagai Penasun. Program pengurangan dampak buruk dari penularan narkotika suntik mutlak diperlukan, salah satunya Program Terapi Rumatan Metadon (PTRM) dalam sediaan cair dengan cara diminum. Salah satu sarana kesehatan yang menyediakan program ini yaitu RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan dan dirasakan belum optimal karena tingginya jumlah peserta yang gagal. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh faktor internal dan faktor eksternal pengguna narkotika suntik terhadap kepatuhan mengikuti PTRM RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan. Jenis penelitian ini adalah survei dengan tipe explanatory research. Responden adalah pasien yang masih mengikuti PTRM di RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan sebanyak 49 responden yang dipilih dengan acak sederhana. Pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan kuesioner dan dianalisis dengan univariat, bivariat dan multivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan tingkat keyakinan (p=0,021), dukungan keluarga (p=0,001), dukungan teman (p=0,002), dukungan LSM (p=0,000), dukungan petugas kesehatan PTRM (p=0,000), biaya selama pengobatan (p=0,012), dan pemanfaatan fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan PTRM (p=0,002) dengan kepatuhan mengikuti PTRM, sedangkan variabel usia, tingkat pendidikan, status pekerjaan, penghasilan dan variabel tingkat pengetahuan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan dengan kepatuhan mengikuti PTRM. Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa faktor dukungan LSM merupakan faktor paling berpengaruh (p=0,019). Disarankan untuk meningkatkan peran aktif dari LSM, petugas kesehatan PTRM, keluarga dan teman kepada peserta PTRM dengan terus menerus memberikan dukungan seperti pemberian informasi tentang PTRM, menyarankan dan motivasi untuk datang rutin mengikuti PTRM, serta melakukan pengawasan kepada peserta PTRM untuk patuh meminum metadon yang diberikan. Meningkatkan pemanfaatan fasilitas konseling pada PTRM di RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan oleh pasien.Drug abuse by injection is increasing and becoming a serious condition. In North Sumatera, especially in Medan, in 2009 an estimated 33,370 people Injecting Drug Users (IDU). one of the adverse effects that occur that there are at least 678 (40%) of People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) from 1715 as a history of the IDU. Harm reduction programs of injecting drug transmission is absolutely necessary, one of Methadone Maintenance Therapy Program (MMTP) in liquid preparations by mouth. This program is available at Goverment General Hospital (GGH) H. Adam Malik, Medan, although it is not optimal due to the high number of participants who failed. The aim of the research was to analyze the influence of internal and external factors of the inject drug user on their obedience in participating in MMTP at GGH H. Adam Malik Medan. The type of the research was an explanatory research survey. 49 patients who participated in MMTP at GGH H. Adam Malik, Medan, were used as the respondents, and they were chosen randomly. The data were gathered by using questionnaires and analyzed by using univatriate, bivatriate, and multivatriate analyses. The results of the research showed that there were significant correlation of confidence (p=0.021), family support (p=0.001), support from friends (p=0.002), support from NGO (Non Government Organization) (p=0.000), support from MMTP health workers (p=0.000), costs during the treatment (p=0.012), and the use of MMTP health facility (p=0.002) with the obedience in participating in MMTP. Meanwhile, there was not any significant correlation between the variables of age, education, occupation, income, and knowledge and the obedience in participating in MMTP. The result of multivatriate analysis showed that the support from NGO had the most significant influence (p=0.019). It is recommended that NGO, MMTP health workers, families, and friends should actively and continuously give their support to MMTP participants by giving information about MMTP, give suggestion and motivation to them to participate routinely in MMTP, and provide supervision to MMTP participants so that they will obediently take metadhone.

    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
