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
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

Traditional communities in Indonesia ::law, identity, and recognition /
No full text"This book explores the ambiguous legal status of traditional - Adat - communities in Indonesia and their informal, traditional rights to communal - ulayat - land. It discusses the lack of recognition of adat communities and their legal rights in the Indonesian constitution, surveys legal consideration of informal legal rights both in Indonesia and elsewhere, and examines how thinking about these issues has evolved over time in Indonesia. It provides an in-depth study of the ways that government policies on adat communities are developed, changed and implemented, and how different actors give meaning to these policies, particularly government bodies with authority to manage land and forests, which exercise discretion as to the operational implementation of ideas about adat groups as legal persons and ulayat land rights as land title, thus enabling their exploitation by government and business. The book highlights how these issues are becoming more pressing as problems relating to legal personhood and rights to traditional customary land are increasingly giving rise to violent conflict, dispossession and marginalisation. It also demonstrates how adat communities can take action, and are doing so, to protect their legal positions"-
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
Deteksi Gen 18S RNA Putatif pada Trichodina spp. yang Menginfeksi Benih Gurami (Osphronemus Gouramy Lacepede)
Get PDFTrichodina spp. adalah ektoparasit patogen dari golongan ciliata yang biasa menginfeksi ikan air tawar dan laut, termasuk ikan gurami. Akibat dari infeksi Trichodina spp. ini akan menyebabkan terhambatnya pertumbuhan dan produksi ikan menurun, sehingga nilai jual ikan rendah. Tingkat kejadian Trichodina spp. yang menginfeksi gurami dapat mencapai 100%. Telah dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menentukan Protozoa Trichodina spp. yang manakah yang menginfeksi benih gurami milik BBI (Balai Benih Ikan) Kutasari Purbalingga dengan mendeteksi gen 18S RNA. Metode deteksi gen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) adalah suatu teknik sintesis dan amplifikasi DNA secara in vitro. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan sampling ikan gurami menggunakan metode purposive sampling yang diperoleh dari BBI Kutasari Purbalingga, kemudian dilakukan isolasi Trichodina spp., pembuatan preparat disertai identifikasi sampel dan dilanjutkan dengan pengamatan karakter molekuler dengan deteksi gen 18S rRNA. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu didapatkan presentase sebesar 10% pada deteksi gen 18S rRNA jenis spesies protozoa Trichodina paraheterodentata yang menginfeksi pada benih ikan gurami dari Purbalingga. Angka presentase deteksi gen tersebut rendah apabila dibandingkan dengan hasil deteksi gen 18S rRNA Trichodina paraheterodentata yang menginfeksi benih ikan gurami di Banjarnegara
