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
Analisis Efektivitas dan Efisiensi Pengeluaran Sektor Publik Jawa Timur: Pendekatan FDH (Free Disposible Hull) dan DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis)”.
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur tingkat efisiensi dan efeketivitas pengeluaran publik di Jawa Timur selama tahun 2007 dan 2008. Pengukuran efektivitas pengeluaran public menggunakan metode FDH (Free Disposible Hull) yang menggunakan input prosentase pengeluaran public terhadap jumlah belanja dan outcome berupa performamce pendidikan, kesehatan, dan infrastruktur yang dikorelasikan dengan Standart Musgravian (distribusi, stabilisasi, dan economic performance ) yang terangkum dalam PSP ( public sektor performance ). Sedangkan pengukuran tingkat efisiensi menggunakan metode DEA ( Data Envelopment Analysis ) yang menganalisis menggunakan input pengeluaran sektor publik meliputi pengeluaran sektor pendidikan, pengeluaran sektor kesehatan dan pengeluaran sektor infrastruktur dengan output jumlah guru, sekolah, siswa, jumlah puskesmas dan tenaga kerjanya dan panjang jalan yang baik. Dari sisi efektivitas, tingginya prosentase pengeluaran publik terhadap PDRB belum tentu diiringi dengan tingginya kinerja pengeluaran publik. Sedangkan dari sisi efisiensi, secara keseluruhan, tingkat efisiensi per tahun pada sepuluh kabupaten/kota mengalami peningkatan
Determinan Keputusan Muslim dalam Pembayaran Zakat Perdagangan (Studi Kasus di Kota Malang Provinsi Jawa Timur).
No full textZakat yang merupakan salah satu instrumen penting dalam perekonomian, memiliki beberapa fungsi antara lain, meningkatkan fungsi agregat demand, meningkatkan kesempatan kerja, mengurangi tingkat kemiskinan sampai dengan meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Kota Malang merupakan wilayah dengan potensi yang cukup besar dalam zakat perdagangan, dimana sebagian besar mata pencaharian masyarakat dan PDRB Kota Malang didominasi oleh sektor perdagangan. Akan tetapi, terdapat kondisi yang berkebalikan antara potensi perdagangan yang cukup besar dengan rendahnya persentase pembayar zakat perdagangan di Kota Malang. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi faktor apa saja yang menjadi determinan keputusan muslim dalam membayar zakat perdagangan.Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Malang dengan jumlah sample sebanyak 100 responden yang dilakukan dengan metode multistage sampling. Selanjutnya, hasil penelitian diolah dengan menggunakan metode logit untuk mengetahui faktor apa yang berpengaruh terhadap probabilitas keputusan muslim dalam membayar zakat perdagangan. Hasil estimasi analisis regresi logit binary menunjukkan bahwa probabilitas keputusan muslim dalam membayar zakat perdagangan ditentukan oleh tingkat pendapatan dan pemahaman. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, pedagang yang memiliki pendapatan tinggi disertai dengan pemahaman tentang hukum, persentase, penghitungan, nisab, dan waktu pembayaran zakat perdagangan memiliki probalibilitas yang lebih tinggi untuk menunaikan zakat perdagangan. Sedangkan umur, pendidikan formal, pendidikan informal, motivasi, ketersediaan Lembaga Amil Zakat, dan lama berdagang tidak mempengaruhi probabilitas keputusan muslim dalam membayar zakat perdagangan
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
