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
SISTEM PENGGAJIAN KARYAWAN PADA LKP GRACE EDUCATION CENTER
No full textBanyak instansi maupun perusahaan dituntut untuk memodernisasi manajemen pengelolaanya dari sistem manual ke sistem terkomputerisasi. LKP Grace Education Center adalah sebuah lembaga yang berdiri dibidang pendidikan tempat kegiatan utamanya adalah melayani dan memberikan pelayanan terbaik, dan juga memperkerjakan cukup banyak karyawan, sistem penggajian yang sedang berjalan pada LKP Grace Education Center masih menggunakan cara tradisional/manual. Keterlambatan sering terjadi dalam memproses gaji karyawan akibat penumpukan pemrosesan pembayaran gaji yang masih dilakukan secara tradisional/manual, karena data harus dicatat atau diproses berulangkali dalam upaya menyusun laporan gaji karyawan. Dengan adanya sistem yang terkomputerisasi diharapkan dapat meningkatkan efisiensi kerja, kecepatan, dan ketepatan dalam suatu pengambilan keputusan. Dalam upaya mencegah kecurangan-kecurangan yang mungkin terjadi terhadap penggajian kepada para tenaga kerja maka diperlukan adanya sistem informasi penggajian, dimana terdapat formulir-formulir, catatan-catatan dan prosedur-prosedur yang digunakan untuk menetapkan gaji yang harus diberikan kepada para tenaga kerja
Integrated Integrated Decision Support System for Student Academic Activities Using a Combination of AHP and SMART Methods
No full textDigital transformation in the world of education requires educational institutions to have an objective and integrated decision-making system. However, the results of observations at SMKN 13 Medan showed that there are still problems in the form of data fragmentation between departments which causes the process of determining outstanding students and selecting new students' majors to be inefficient and prone to subjectivity. This study aims to develop an integrated web-based Decision Support System (DSS) using a combination of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) methods to improve accuracy and fairness in the academic decision-making process. The system development method used is Waterfall, with stages of analysis, design, implementation, testing, application, and maintenance. The results of quantitative calculations show that in determining outstanding students, student Amira obtained the highest score of 95.79, while in selecting majors, student Aulia Fatimah Al Zahra obtained the highest score of 86.11 and was recommended to the Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ) department. The system testing results show that the AHP-SMART combination successfully provides accurate and consistent results with a weighting consistency level of CR = 0.08 for achievement and CR = 0.06 for majors. It can be concluded that the developed system is able to integrate data across majors, improve assessment efficiency, and support transparent, objective, and data-based decision-making in the vocational school environment

Implementation of A Combination Of WP and Moora Methods in Recruitment Of Casual Daily Laborers to Become Permanent Employees
Full text linkThe Industrial Revolution 4.0 has emphasized the strategic role of information technology in supporting organizational decision-making, particularly in workforce recruitment. Within this context, PTPN IV, a leading company in the plantation sector, continues to encounter challenges in promoting Casual Daily Laborers (BHL) to permanent employees through an objective and transparent selection process. To address this issue, this study introduces a decision support system (DSS) that integrates the Weighted Product (WP) method with Multi-Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis (MOORA). The WP method is applied to calculate preference values based on weighted criteria, while MOORA facilitates multi-criteria optimization, thereby strengthening the accuracy of the ranking process. Empirical findings indicate that the combined approach significantly enhances decision-making effectiveness, producing more consistent and fair outcomes compared to conventional methods. The practical implication of this research lies in providing PTPN IV with a reliable tool to improve efficiency, ensure fairness, and strengthen accountability in employee promotion decisions, which ultimately contributes to organizational performance and competitiveness
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
