The Need of Backpacking Tourists in Non-Star Hotels: Insights from Gorontalo City, Indonesia
Full text linkGorontalo is a transit city for foreign tourists that will continue their trip to Togean islands, or for tourists coming from Togean islands that will continue the trip to Manado, Makassar, or Jakarta. Foreign tourists who opt to transit in Gorontalo prefer non-star hotels as their accommodation option. This study aimed to analyze the guest’ needs from five kinds of dimension, i.e., tangible dimension, empathy dimension, reliability dimension, responsiveness dimension, and assurance Dimension. The present study integrated a qualitative and a simple quantitative method as the research design. The data were directly collected by field observation; questionnaires distributed to the tourists were employed to collect the main data, while the supporting data were extracted by interview and documentation. As based on the findings, the backpackers’ needs for basic tangible goods involve food three times a day, a heat pump water heater, and laundry service. In accommodating the needs, the hotels can cooperate with third parties, particularly regarding food three times a day and laundry service. Moreover, the intangible service-oriented needs comprise empathy, reliability, responsiveness, and assurance. As based on the questionnaire, the respondents showed good responses and suggested improvements in several aspects, particularly on the intangible needs
Aspiring Geopark Gorontalo: Solusi Persiapan Situs Geologi Untuk Pariwisata Pasca-COVID-19
No full textThe Geosite Area of Gorontalo Evaluated Using Quantitative Descriptive Research Method for Tourism Preparedness Post-COVID-19" The Gorontalo geosite area was evaluated using a quantitative descriptive research method in this study to determine its readiness to host tourism after COVID-19. Changes in the attitudes and behaviours of tourists have occurred as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, significantly impacting the domestic and international tourism environment. The objective of this research is to gain an understanding of the factors motivating tourists, classify various forms of tourism, and observe specific geosites in Gorontalo based on official designations. Different local attitudes towards the "new normal tourism" are crucial factors in the highlighted destination preparation differences presented in the conclusions. Despite the economic considerations influencing the continuous implementation of health protocols, the government, local communities, and businesses must collaborate towards achieving optimal and sustainable tourism recoveryKawasan geosite Gorontalo dievaluasi dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dalam penelitian ini untuk menentukan apakah kawasan tersebut siap menjadi tuan rumah pariwisata setelah COVID-19. Perubahan sikap dan perilaku wisatawan terjadi sebagai akibat dari epidemi COVID-19, yang berdampak besar pada lingkungan pariwisata domestik dan internasional. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan pemahaman tentang faktor-faktor yang memotivasi wisatawan, mengklasifikasikan berbagai bentuk pariwisata, dan mengamati geosite tertentu di Gorontalo berdasarkan peruntukan resmi. Sikap lokal yang berbeda terhadap "pariwisata normal baru" merupakan faktor penting dalam perbedaan persiapan destinasi yang disoroti dalam kesimpulan. Terlepas dari kenyataan bahwa alasan ekonomi berpengaruh pada pelaksanaan protokol kesehatan yang terus-menerus, sangat penting bagi pemerintah, masyarakat lokal, dan bisnis untuk bekerja sama demi mencapai pemulihan pariwisata yang optimal dan berkelanjutan

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
