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
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
Mask snapper / Aizat Taqiuddin Mazwan ...[et al.]
Get PDFThe project encompassing from the start of the creating an idea of a product that can help society fighting against COVID-19, designing mask cutter, building a mask cutter that help with correct disposal of the mask. The team is consisting of 5 very passionate people that come together to build something great. From the start, some criteria are chosen to fit the goal of the project. Next, it is going to the drawing board. Some impressive design comes out from it but only one of them is chosen. The design that chosen is scrutinized under closer inspection as it will be the design that will carry forward after this and it will be harder is any complication is found down the line after. Thus, the calculation of the product itself has been done to make sure it can achieve its specific goal without compromising it safety and sturdiness. After the design past the checkmark, it come to prototyping. The prototype is built using SolidWork as 3D and stress test it to make sure there is no problem in the calculation and no oversight during it as well. From the start of the project until the end, all of the progress is documented and approved by supervisor

Peranan institusi keagamaan dan Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA) dalam menganalisis isu bioetika : ke arah pembentukan panduan kapada pengguna bioteknologi di Malaysia / Rasmuna Mazwan Muhammad
Get PDFAdvancements in science and technology particularly in the field of biotechnology and medicine have given rise to various ethical and moral challenges. In Malaysia, these challenges require deliberation which incorporates the scientific and the religious enterprise. This study documents the various processes involved. It shows that bioethics assessment of issues such as genetically-modified food (GMF), the use of porcine enzyme (in livestock), the use of botox, organ transplantation and stem cell treatment is better addressed by the close collaboration of scholars from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia, the Selangor Mufti Department and the Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia with members of the academia of the various public institutions of higher learning (IPTA). Bioethical issues are systematically addressed with specific focus of three indicators namely – the formulation and issuance of Fatwa (religious decree), the process of Halal certification and the reliability of the source of information. The findings show that contrary to popular belief, religious authorities do not deliberate fatwa exclusively without the involvement of external quarters but rather it is complemented by scientific evidence afforded by academic experts from IPTA together with the contributions of relevant institutions such as the Ministry Of Health, National Department of Chemistry and Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute
