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
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
OPTIMASI SIMPANG BERSINYAL JALAN MERDEKA KOTA LHOKSEUMAWE
Get PDFOptimasi simpang bersinyal dimaksudkan untuk mengoptimalkan kinerja suatu jaringan jalan khususnya pada persimpangan bersinyal. Salah satu bentuk optimasi adalah melakukan sinkronisasi simpang bersinyal sehingga diperoleh suatu sistem koordinasi antar simpang bersinyal. Sistem ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi waktu tunda dan waktu berhenti kendaraan. Setelah melakukan antrian waktu merah pada salah satu persimpangan, kendaraan diharapkan akan memperoleh waktu hijau pada persimpangan berikutnya. Sistem demikian belum diterapkan di Jalan Merdeka Kota Lhokseumawe. Sebagai jalan utama pada pada lintasan tersebut ada tiga persimpangan bersinyal yaitu, Simpang BI (simpang I), Simpang Empat (simpang II) dan Simpang BPD (simpang III). Akibat belum adanya koordinasi antar ketiga persimpangan tersebut, sering kendaraan yang baru lolos dari simpang I harus berhenti dan menunggu fase hijau lagi pada simpang II dan sebaliknya. Hal yang sama juga terjadi antara simpang II dan simpang III sehingga antrian, waktu tundaan dan waktu berhenti yang panjang terutama pada jam puncak tidak dapat dihindari. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut maka dilakukan studi untuk memperbaiki kinerja simpang tersebut dengan cara melakukan optimasi lampu lalulintas persimpangan. Ada dua metode yang digunakan pada optimasi ini, yaitu Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia (MKJI 1997) untuk pengolahan data lalulintas, sementara untuk optimasi menggunakan bantuan perangkat lunak Transyt 14 berpedoman pada metode yang dikembangkan oleh TRRL (Transport and Road Research Laboratory) Inggris. Transyt 14 digunakan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja persimpangan pada kondisi eksisting dan sebagai alat bantu proses optimasi untuk koordinasi persimpangan dengan panjang antrian, waktu tunda, jumlah henti sebagai parameter utama. Hasil optimasi dibandingkan kondisi eksisting diperoleh waktu siklus 81 detik, antrian berkurang 14,15%, waktu tunda berkurang 44,60%, jumlah henti turun 36,23% dan tingkat pelayanan dapat ditingkatkan dari D menjadi C.Kata kunci: Optimasi, Simpang Bersinyal, Transyt 1
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
Potret Tradisi Tahfiz Al-Qur'an di SDIT Kota Langsa (Analisis Kondisi dan Signifikansiya terhadap Peningkatan Kemampuan Membaca Al-Qur'an)
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the portrait of Al-Qur'an tahfiz activities that have a good influence on the ability to read the Qur'an in integrated Islamic schools in Langsa city. This paper is the result of a case study research using a descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach, where the main data sources are observation and interviews, and documentation. The results of this study explain that the process of implementing memorizing the Qur'an to improve the ability to read the Qur'an carried out by SDIT Langsa students is that students are divided into two levels, namely basic (guidance) and intermediate (Tahsin). The students with basic level (guidance) get the memorization by listening (sima'i) from the teacher in class. The teacher mentally qinkan to students by repeating each verse that is read properly and correctly and followed by students several times, according to the target of memorizing verses per day, and it turns out that in general students are able to memorize the Qur'an by listening (sima'i). ). Meanwhile, students with intermediate level (tahsin) acquire memorization using the independent rote method
