    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

    ABSTRACT : The budget for Papua's special autonomy will end in 2021, so it is important to do an in-depth study to increase budget productivity in an academic framework through scientific research. The purpose of this research is to analyze the budget management of Papua's special autonomy from the political and accounting perspective. The method used is a qualitative approach by using supporting data regarding the management of state finances, the budget cycle and the special autonomy budget of the Papua’s Province. This study attempts to explain political accounting in Papua’s Special Autonomy budget management. The research method used is a literacy study by utilizing various sources that are related to the research topic, both from scientific articles, books, journal publications and sources from official government websites and other relevant sources. The research process is carried out by collecting data, grouping data, analyzing data to describing it in the form of results and research discussions. The results showed that between politics, budget accounting and government accounting have a relationship in the management of the Papua’s special autonomy budget, then referred to by researchers as political accounting. Political accounting is a series of comprehensive processes both from the political side, the budget to the reporting system and evaluation of the realization of the use of the budget. The theoretical implication is that there is a wedge between political science through the fields of politics and budget accounting and government from the perspective of Papua's special autonomy budget. This finding adds a new treasure in multi-paradigm accounting research, namely political accounting.Keywords: Accounting, Politics, Budget Management, Papua Special Autonomy ABSTRAK : Anggaran otonomi khusus Papua akan berakhir tahun 2021, sehingga pendalaman untuk meningkatkan produktifitas anggaran menjadi penting dilakukan dalam kerangka akademis melalui penelitian ilmiah. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisa pengelolaan anggaran otonomi khusus Papua dari sisi politik dan akuntansi. Metode yang dipakai adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan data-data pendukung mengenai pengelolaan keuangan negara, siklus anggaran dan anggaran otonomi khusus Provinsi Papua. Penelitian ini berusaha menjelaskan tentang akuntansi politik dalam pengelolaan anggaran Otsus Papua. Merode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi literasi dengan memanfaatkan berbagai sember yang memiliki kaitan dengan topik penelitian, baik dari artikel ilmiah, buku, publikasi jurnal dan sumber dari website resmi milik pemerintah serta sumber lainnya yang relevan. Proses penelitian dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan data, mengelompokkan data, menganalisas data sampai dengan mendeskriftifkan dalam bentuk hasil dan pembahasan penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa antara politik, akuntansi anggaran dan akuntansi pemerintahan memiliki keterkaitan dalam pengelolaan anggaran otonomi khusus Papua, kemudian disebut oleh peneliti sebagai akuntansi politik. Akuntansi politik adalah serangkaian proses yang komprehensif baik dari sisi politik, anggaran hingga sistem pelaporan dan evaluasi realisasi penggunaan anggaran. Implikasi secara teoritis, ditemukan irisan antara ilmu politik melaui bidang-bidang politik dengan akuntansi anggaran dan pemerintahan dari perspektif anggaran otonomi khusus Papua. Temuan ini menambah khasanah baru dalam penelitian akuntansi multiparadigma yaitu akuntansi politik.Kata Kunci: Akuntansi, Politik, Pengelolaan Anggaran, Otonomi Khusus Papua

    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

    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

    This qualitative case study aims to describe a society-based government as a manifestation of political communication and democracy at Muna District, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The aim is to achieve good governance which is a manifestation of political communication. It is a process where government and society must continue interacting to create a societyoriented government. The society-based government as a manifestation of democracy has been carried out but it does not include all regions in Muna district. This is due to several factors, namely(2) economic inequality(3) insufficient job opportunitiesand (4) education. The study concludes Muna district embodies democratic principles of governance based on populist principles (from the people, by the people, and for the people)
