Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Strategi Fundraising Zakat Pada Baznas Provinsi Sumatera Barat
No full textBadan Amil Zakat Nasional is a nonstructural government agency that is independentand responsible to the president through ministers. BAZNAS is an institution that is authorized to carry out the task of managing zakat nationally. The purpose of this study is to determine the strategy carried out by BAZNAS of West Sumatra Province in zakat fundraising activities. The main problem in this study is the strategy carried out by the National Amil Zakat Agency of West Sumatra Province in zakat fundraising activities. The type of research that the author uses is field research with qualitative methods (field research). The data collection techniques that the author did were field observations, interviews with the National Amil Zakat Agency and documentation. Data analysis techniques are data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of this study show that the fundraising strategy carried out by the National Zakat Agency of West Sumatra Province is to use two fundraising methods, namely online and offline methods (direct and indirect). Direct fundraising is to approach local governments, conduct hearings with institutions, socialize zakat, carry out zakat pick-up services and indirect fundraising such as maximizing the use of electronic media and print media. The main obstacle is that the fundraising strategy prepared by BAZNAS of West Sumatra Province has been fully implemented in the field but the level of effectiveness is still low. BAZNAS of West Sumatra Province has not optimally worked on the potential of zakat in West Sumatra. There are still many muzzaki that cannot be folow up from BAZNAS, and the lack of human resources at BAZNAS West Sumatra Province
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
STUDI STABILITAS LERENG JALAN TARUSAN PAINAN PESISIR SELATAN DAN PENANGGULANGANNYA
Full text linkLongsoran yang terjadi di jalan Tarusan-Painan terjadi karena intensitas hujan yang cukup deras yang menyebabkan pergerakan tanah pasir pada lereng. Analisis stabilitas lereng merupakan analisis yang harus dilakukan untuk mengetahui lereng tersebut aman atau tidak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis lereng yang telah mengalami kelongsoran beserta penanganannya. Metoda yang digunakan untuk analisis stabilitas lereng adalah dengan menggunakan software slide 6.0 dengan hasil faktor keamanan rata-rata 0.47 yang menyatakan lereng tidak aman sehingga diperlukan penangan yang tepat dan efektif. Penanganan yang dipilih terdiri dari dua opsi, yaitu dinding penahan tanah kantilever dan turap kantilever. Dari hasil analisis dinding penahan tanah kantilever didapatkan Fs guling = 3.39, Fs geser = 1.91, Fs daya dukung = 7.80, sedangkan dengan menggunakan turap kantilever didapatkan tinggi turap dari dredge line 6 m, dan kedalaman aktual 9 m dengan menggunakan safety factor 1.3. Dengan menggunakan metode elemen hingga didapatkan nilai safety factor 1.817
