    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

    “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

    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

    This study was conducted in the coastal region Sidem Tulungagung in February 2015. The purpose of the research is to analyze the economic value of natural resources Sidem coast. This study used a survey method. Data collected by observation and interview respondents to identify and characterize patterns of resource use and to know the value of a measured resource of people\u27s willingness to pay or accept a change of environment. Analysts data using economic valuation techniques to calculate the total economic value (Total Economic Value / TEV) of the fishery resources of coastal waters. The results of the analysis of the total economic value of natural resources is Sidem Beach Rp. 99,803,263,236. The economic contribution comes from fishing to reach 64.6 billion, or 64.7%. This arrest was made up of some fishing gear which nets titil, Fishing, Incamida (mesh bag), Beach seine and catching lobster. Followed from the tourism sector reached 19 billion (19%), and subsequently from the coconut tree reaching 14 billion (14.19%).Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di kawasan pantai Sidem  Kabupaten Tulungagung pada bulan Februari 2015. Tujuan Penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis nilai ekonomi sumberdaya alam pantai Sidem. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei.

    The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of organic waste in the form of suspended solids (TSS) discharged from intensive shrimp ponds activity. Research conducted in the area of ​​the District of intensive shrimp aquaculture Banyuputih Stubondo district for four months using a survey method. To determine the amount of organic waste generated from shrimp farms, shrimp feed data retrieval performed during one cycle maintenance, comprehensive data is a pond, stocking density, pond water volume and turnover volume of pond water every day. Quantification of organic waste refers to formula Soewardi (2002). Based on calculations, the total amount of waste oganik in the form of suspended solids (TSS) issued intensive shrimp ponds into coastal waters in a season maintenance of shrimp is 2,277 kg TSS / 3.500 m2 / MT or if it is converted into an area of ​​1 ha pond is 6,506 kg TSS / ha / MT. If all the land productive pond (39 ha) in the study area did the same  production during the growing season / maintenance of shrimp, the coastal waters Banyuputih will receive a load of organic waste (TSS) amounted to 253 734 kg in the first season of planting / maintenance shrimp.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui jumlah limbah organik dalam bentuk padatan tersuspensi (TSS) yang dikeluarkan  dari kegiatan tambak udang intensif. Penelitian dilaksanakan di kawasan pertambakan udang intensif di Kecamatan Banyuputih Kabupaten Stubondo selama empat bulan dengan menggunakan metode survey. Untuk menentukan jumlah limbah organik yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan tambak udang, dilakukan pengambilan data pakan udang selama satu siklus pemeliharaan,  data luas petakan tambak, padat tebar, volume air petakan tambak dan volume pergantian air tambak setiap hari. Kuantifikasi limbah organik mengacu pada formula Soewardi (2002). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan, jumlah total limbah oganik dalam bentuk padatan tersuspensi (TSS) yang dikeluarkan tambak udang intensif ke perairan pesisir  dalam satu musim pemeliharaan udang adalah 2.277 kg TSS/3.500 m2/MT atau jika dikonversi ke dalam luasan 1 ha tambak adalah 6.506 kg TSS/ha/MT. Jika seluruh lahan tambak produktif (39 ha) di wilayah studi melakukan produksi scara bersamaan pada saat musim tanam/pemeliharan udang, maka perairan pesisir Banyuputih  akan menerima beban limbah organik (TSS) sebesar 253.734 kg dalam 1 satu musim tanam/pemeliharaan udang
