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
Impact of the Environment Support on Creativity: Assessing the Mediating Role of Intrinsic Motivation
No full textAbstractNowadays, no business organization can escape from a stiffer competition. This situation demands for never ending innovation to survive and grow. Arguably, an innovative organization cannot be achieved without creative employees and supporting working environment. This study aims at investigating the relationship of the environment support on the employees’ creativity. The environment support, in this study, includes work and non-work environment support, such as the support from supervisor and family. Special attention is paid to assess the mediating role of intrinsic motivation in the relationship. In doing so, a survey is administered to 132 employees (editorial staffs) working in mass media industry in the Indonesian context.The findings show that the support from co-workers is influential to promote the creativity of the employees. Surprisingly, the supports from supervisor and family provide no significant impact on the creativity. The study also reveals that intrinsic motivation partially influences the relationship between the support from co-workers and the creativity. It unearths that intrinsic motivation the employees have may signify the impact of the support from co-workers on their creativity. But this is not the case for the supports from supervisor and family
Hubungan Modal Sosial dan Partisipasi Petani Selada Air pada Kegiatan Kewirausahaan Petani di Desa Poncokusumo Kabupaten Malang.
No full textModal sosial menjadi salah satu aset terpenting dalam penghidupan masyarakat. Masyarakat dengan nilai modal sosial yang lemah akan meredupkan semangat gotong royong, meningkatkan kemiskinan, pengangguran, dan kriminalitas. Sehingga modal sosial dipandang sebagai suatu kesatuan yang penting untuk menciptakan suatu kelompok yang berkualitas. Modal sosial dan partisipasi dari petani sebagai syarat dalam pelaksanaan suatu upaya pembangunan. Apabila petani memiliki modal sosial yang baik maka akan menghasilkan hubungan yang baik antar petani maupun penyelenggara kegiatan dan sebaliknya.
Desa Poncokusumo merupakan desa yang terletak di wilayah Kabupaten Malang dan sebagian masyarakatnya memanfaatkan lahan untuk budidaya selada air. Dalam mengusahakan budidaya selada air, petani tidak memiliki kelompok tani dan lebih memilih bekerja secara individu. Pada tahun 2018, terdapat upaya pemberdayaan petani selada air. Adanya kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan petani selada air di Desa Poncokusumo dengan kerjasama dan kebersamaan yang solid dalam mengolah hasil selada air dan menjalin kerjasama dengan suatu pihak. Modal sosial dan partisipasi dari masyarakat merupakan syarat dalam keberhasilan suatu program pembangunan.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) Menganalisis implementasi kegiatan kewirausahaan petani di Desa Poncokusumo, 2) Menganalisis modal sosial petani selada air pada kegiatan kewirausahaan petani di Desa Poncokusumo, 3) Menganalisis partisipasi petani selada air pada kegiatan kewirausahaan di Desa Poncokusumo, 4) Menganalisis hubungan antara modal sosial dengan partisipasi petani selada air pada kegiatan kewirausahaan di Desa Poncokusumo. Jenis Penelitian ini adalah metode survei dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Penentuan lokasi penelitian dilakukan secara sengaja atau purposive di Desa Poncokusumo, Kabupaten Malang. Metode penentuan sampel menggunakan teknik sensus atau saturated sampling kepada seluruh petani selada air berjumlah 40 orang. Variabel yang terdapat pada penelitian ini diukur menggunakan skala likert, kemudian data tersebut diolah menggunakan software SPSS versi 22 dengan analisis Rank Spearman.
Hasil yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah: 1) Modal sosial petani di Desa Poncokusumo yang terdiri dari kepercayaan, jaringan sosial, dan norma sosial termasuk dalam kategori rendah dengan persentase 53,38%. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan kurang adanya solidaritas dan kerjasama yang baik. 2) Tingkat partisipasi petani pada kegiatan kewirausahaan petani menurut hasil analisis data yaitu 31,75%. Persentase tersebut termasuk dalam kategori rendah karena masih banyak petani yang tidak berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan. 3) Terdapat hubungan antara modal sosial dengan partisipasi petani dalam kegiatan kewirausahaan
petani. Berdasarkan analisis korelasi Rank Spearman, diperoleh 0,679. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat keeratan hubungan positif yang tergolong kuat, sehingga semakin rendah angka pada variabel modal sosial maka semakin rendah juga angka pada variabel partisipasi.
Saran yang bisa diajukan berdasarkan hasil penelitian adalah sebagai berikut: 1) Petani sebaiknya meningkatkan modal sosial dengan membentuk kelompok tani agar rasa kebersamaan semakin tinggi dan jaringan kerjasama dalam usahatani selada air maupun kegiatan lainnya semakin meluas, 2) Penyelenggara kegiatan pengabdian atau pemberdayaan sebaiknya perlu meningkatkan intensitas pertemuan dalam kegiatan pengabdian agar kegiatan dapat lebih efektif sehingga dapat memberikan manfaat bagi petani, 3) Peneliti selanjutnya sebaiknya dapat dijadikan referensi penelitian untuk melihat faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi partisipasi petani dalam melakukan kegiatan pemberdayaan
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
