    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

    Propylene is a chemical compound that is widely used in the chemical industry and human life. Propylene is widely used in the manufacture of intermediates. The most widely known derivatives of propylene are polypropylene, acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, cumene/phenol, oxo alcohols, acrylic acid, isopropyl alcohol, and oligomers. The pre-design of the Propylene manufacturing plant is designed with a production capacity of 100,000 Tons/Year using Raffinate-1 and Ethylene as raw materials. In this factory design, there are four main processes, namely raw material preparation, reaction process, product separation process, and by-product processing. The products produced in this factory design are Ethylene, propylene, n-butane and 2-butane. The company in this pre-design is planned to be a Limited Liability Company (PT) using a line and staff organizational structure. The number of workers in this factory is 243 people. The factory location is planned in Cikoneng, Anyar District, Indonesia with a factory area of 12,840 m2. To establish and operate the factory requires investment capital of IDR 5,698,204,472,008 and production costs of IDR 2,984,268,830,196. Based on the feasibility analysis, this factory has a BEP of 36.46%, ROI of 20.66%, POT of 2.53 years, RON of 34% and IRR of 17.83%. From the results of the economic analysis, it can be concluded that the design of a factory for making Propylene from Butadiene and Ethylene using this metathesis reaction is feasible to be established.508 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

    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
