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
The Role of Human Capital and Demographic Bonus on The Economic Growth of Jawa Barat Province
Get PDFThis study uses the Solow-Swan theory to analyze the role of human capital and demographic bonuses on economic growth in Jawa Barat Province. This study uses a panel data regression approach, specifically generalized least squares (GLS) regression with a fixed-effects model, to analyze data from several districts and cities in Jawa Barat Province. Human capital is measured through average years of schooling and life expectancy, whereas demographic bonus is proxied by the proportion of the productive age population (15-64 years). The results show that average years of schooling have no significant effect on economic growth, indicating that increased education does not always directly impact economic performance, possibly because of a mismatch between educational outcomes and labour market needs. In contrast, life expectancy has a positive and significant relationship with economic growth, supporting the Solow-Swan model, which emphasizes health as an important component of human capital that can increase productivity. Demographic bonuses, represented by the productive-age population, average a positive and significant effect on economic growth, suggesting that a larger proportion of productive-age individuals contribute to increased output and economic expansion through the demographic bonus. There is a need for policies that focus on improving the quality of education and suitability to the labour market to maximize the potential of human capital and demographic bonuses in supporting sustainable development in Jawa Barat
DAKWAH YANG MENGGEMBIRAKAN PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN (KAJIAN TERHADAP QS. AN-NAHL AYAT 125)
Get PDFTulisan ini melakukan kajian terhadap salah satu ayat yang terdapat dalam Al-Qur’an yaitu QS. An-Nahl [16]: 125. Dalam penafsirannya, ayat ini dijadikan sebagai landasan dalam memahami dan mengimplementasikan dakwah perspektif Al-Qur’an. Dakwah sebagai sebuah kegiatan yang hadir dalam rutinitas kehidupan umat beragama utamanya dalam hal ini umat Muslim, harus dilakukan dengan memperhatikan kondisi masyarakat. Penulis mencoba menjabarkan dakwah yang menggembirakan dengan cara melakukan pengkajian terhadap QS. An-Nahl ayat 125. Dalam kajian ini, didapatkan bahwa ada dua hal yang mampu menggembirakan dakwah, pertama ialah pendakwah itu sendiri, dimana dirinya harus memiliki kompetensi yaitu: good will, good ethos, dan good moral character. Sedangkan yang kedua adalah metode yang digunakan. Ada tiga metode dakwah berdasarkan dalil diatas bil Hikmah, Maizah Hasanah, dan Jadilhum bi al-Lati Hiya Ahsan, yang kemudian dijabarkan agar ketiga metode tersebut mampu diterapkan dalam rangka mewujudkan dakwah yang menggembirakan yang tetap berada dalam koridor esensi dakwah berdasarkan tuntunan kitab suci Al-Qur’an.Kata Kunci: An-Nahl [16]:125, bil Hikmah, Maizah Hasanah, Jadilhum bi al-Lati Hiya Ahsan, Dakwah yang Menggembirakan
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
