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
Kebergantungan Dua Kultivar Pepaya Terhadap Cendawan Mikoriza Arbuskula
Dua kultivar pepaya telah diinokulasi dengan lima spesies cendawan mikoriza arbuskula (CMA) dalam sebuah percobaan di rumahkaca. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kebergantungan dua kultivar pepaya terhadap cendawan mikoriza. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Rumahkaca Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, dari bulan Agustus sampai November tahun 2001. Penelitian ini disusun menurut rancangan acak kelompok dalam pola faktorial dengan tiga ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah isolat CMA, terdiri dari lima jenis ditambah kontrol (kontrol, Glomus etunicatum, Glomus manihotis, Gigaspora margarita, Acaulospora tuberculata, dan Scutellospora heterogama). Faktor kedua adalah kultivar pepaya, yaitu dampit dan sarirona. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua kultivar pepaya dapat berasosiasi dengan lima spesies CMA. Isolat A. tuberculata dan G. etunicatum serta kultivar sarirona, secara mandiri memberikan nilai lebih tinggi terhadap serapan fosfor, bobot kering pupus, dan relative mycorrhizal dependency (RMD). Acaulospora tuberculata dan G. etunicatum meningkatkan bobot kering pupus berturut-turut 1.137 dan 1.768% lebih tinggi dibanding kontrol, dengan nilai RMD 89,18 dan 94,29%. Kultivar sarirona mempunyai serapan fosfor, bobot kering pupus, dan nilai RMD yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dampit. Penggunaan CMA mempunyai prospek yang baik untuk meningkatkan produktivitas pepaya terutama pada lahan bereaksi masam dan rendah fosfor.Mycorrhizal dependency of two papaya cultivars. Two papaya cultivars were inoculated with five species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) in a greenhouse experiment. The aim of this experiment was to study mycorrhizal dependency on two papaya cultivars. The experiment was conducted at the Screenhouse of Agriculture Faculty of Padjadjaran University, Bandung, from August until November 2001. This experiment was laid in a randomized blocks design in factorial pattern with three replications. The first factor was the AMF isolates i.e. five AMF isolates plus control (control, Glomus etunicatum, Glomus manihotis, Gigaspora margarita, Acaulospora tuberculata, and Scutellospora heterogama). The second factor was papaya cultivars, consisted of dampit and sarirona. The results showed that both papaya cultivars could associated with five species AMF isolates. Acaulospora tuberculata, and G. etunicatum isolates, and sarirona cultivar independently gave higher phosphorus uptake, shoot dry weight, and relative mycorrhizal dependency (RMD). Acaulospora tuberculata, and G. etunicatum isolates increased shoot dry weight 1,137 and 1,768% respectively higher than control, with RMD values were 89.18 and 94.29%. Sarirona cultivar showed higher phosphorus uptake, shoot dry weight, and RMD values than dampit cultivar. The utilization of AMF has good prospect to increase papaya productivity, especially on acid and low phosphorus soils
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
Peranan Cendawan Mikoriza Arbuskula Terhadap Peningkatan Serapan Hara Oleh Bibit Pepaya
. An experiment was aimed to find out the role of five arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus isolates in increasing nutrient uptake and biomass production on two cultivars of papaya seedling. The research was conducted at a screen house of Agricul- ture Faculty, Padjadjaran University, from August 2001 until January 2002. This experiment was laid in Randomized Blocks Design in factorial pattern with three replications. The first factor was the kind of mycorrhizaes isolates, con- trol, Glomus etunicatum, Glomus manihotis, Gigaspora margarita, Acaulospora tuberculata and Scutellospora heterogama, and the second factor was papaya cultivars of Dampit and Sari Rona. The results showed that root infec- tion level of papaya seedlings on two months after inoculation influenced by interactions between mycorrhizaes iso- late and papaya cultivars. Acaulospora tuberculata, G. etunicatum, and Gi. margarita isolates showed very high root infection level which was higher than 76% from both papaya cultivars, whereas two other mycorrhizaes isolate showed the lower infection 21.33-59.67%. Nutrient uptake on N,P,K, and shoot dry weight, in autonomous caused by kinds of mycorrhizaes isolate and papaya cultivars. Acaulospora tuberculata and G. etunicatum isolates increased to- tal dry weight 1.028% and 1.632% respectively higher than control. Sari Rona cultivar showed higher nutrient uptake on N, P, K, and shoot dry weight than Dampit cultivar. The mycorrhizaes application for papaya have good prospect, but there needs further studies to know the effectiveness in fertilizer efficiency
