    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” 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

    The water distribution allocation service by PDAM Tirta Musi, KM IV Unit Office, Palembang, has given rise to a new problem where PDAM Tirta Musi, KM IV Unit Office, has difficulty in meeting clean water needs. One of the efforts that PDAM has made to overcome this is by trying to organize water rotation. clean in every area. The solution taken actually gave rise to a new problem, namely that there were several areas that temporarily did not receive a clean water supply, giving rise to demands from the community that clean water must be distributed evenly in every area where the community lives. Based on this problem, it is necessary to design a water demand prediction application whose aim is to help PDAM Tirta Musi KM IV Palembang Unit Office to allocate water distribution to customers so that there is no shortage or waste. This research was conducted using the K-Nearest Neighbor development method. The application for predicting clean water usage at PDAM Tirta Musi Unit KM IV Palembang Office was built on a web basis to help predict the level of water usage at PDAM Tirta Musi Unit KM IV Palembang Office and can help distribute water supplies evenly in Palembang City.   Keywords— complexity of PDAM TIRTA MUSI, K-Nearest Neighbor, water distributio

    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

    Zakat merupakan faktor utama dalam pemerataan harta benda dikalangan umat Islam, karena dana zakat diambil dari harta orang yang berkelebihan dan disalurkan kepada orang yang kekurangan harta. Sehingga dibentuklah Badan yang ditujukan sebagai pengelola dana zakat, infaq, dan sedekah dibawah kepengurusan Kementrian Agama (Kemenag) yaitu BAZNAS (Badan Amil Zakat Nasional). Lembaga amil zakat harus memiliki sistem akuntansi zakat yang baik sesuai dengan yang telah ditetapkan oleh Negara yaitu merujuk pada PSAK No. 109 Tentang Akuntansi Zakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan akuntansi zakat pada Badan Amil Zakat Kabupaten Rokan Hulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan datanya dengan mewawancarai staff dan pengurus BAZNAS. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Badan Amil Zakat Kabupaten Rokan Hulu belum sepenuhnya melakukan perlakuan yang baik terhadap akuntansi yaitu sesuai dengan PSAK No. 109 Tahun 2011. Proses penyusunan Laporan Keuangan Badan Amil Zakat Kabupaten Rokan Hulu belum meliputi Pengakuan, Pengukuran, Penyajian, dan Pengungkapan sesuai standar yang telah di tetapkan oleh PSAK No. 109. Namun bukan berarti Baznas Kabupaten Rokan Hulu tidak merujuk pada PSAK No. 109, karena beberapa laporan keuangan telah di standarisasi oleh pihak Baznas Kabupaten Rokan Hulu. Oleh karena itu Baznas Kabupaten Rokan Hulu belum dapat diaudit oleh Auditor Independen dikarenakan belum memenuhi seluruh standar pada PSAK No. 109 mengenai Akuntansi Zakat, Infak, dan Sedekah.
