    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

    Efisiensi Penggunaan Qris Dengan Merchant Presented Mode Dalam Transaksi Pembayaran Non-Tunai

    Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) merupakan salah satu metode pembayaran non-tunai di Indo-nesia yang memanfaatkan standar kode Quick Response (QR) dengan lebih dari 29,4 juta merchant terdaftar. Seba-nyak 99% merchant yang berada di dalam daftar pengguna QRIS termasuk ke dalam usaha mikro, kecil, dan mene-ngah. Metode pembayaran QRIS tersusun atas 2 jenis kategori, yakni QRIS statis dan QRIS dinamis. Salah satu tujuan pemanfaatan QRIS adalah untuk meningkatkan efisiensi waktu yang digunakan untuk bertransaksi. Peman-faatan jenis QRIS yang tidak tepat dapat berakibat pada meningkatnya jumlah antrian dan membuat pengalaman berbelanja menjadi tidak memuaskan. Penelitian ini menginvestigasi efektivitas dan tingkat efisiensi penggunaan QRIS statis dan dinamis yang menggunakan Merchant Presented Mode (MPM) dalam transaksi belanja atau pem-bayaran transaksi non-tunai pada suatu merchant. Parameter efisiensi yang diukur dalam penelitian ini meliputi waktu yang digunakan dan jumlah langkah yang dibutuhkan oleh pengguna, yaitu pembeli dan penjual, untuk me-nyelesaikan transaksi menggunakan kedua jenis QRIS yang diteliti. Penggunaan sumber daya sistem dalam tran-saksi diabaikan sehingga menjadi batasan penelitian ini. Temuan penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa pemanfaat-an QRIS dinamis yang dihasilkan melalui MPM dinilai mampu mempercepat proses transaksi tunggal di mana no-minal dana yang ditransaksikan berbeda-beda. Selain itu, dalam situasi di mana nominal dana yang ditransaksikan sama dan berulang, pemanfaatan QRIS dinamis juga dinilai mampu meningkatkan efisiensi koreografi proses bis-nis. Sehingga, penggunaan QRIS dinamis direkomendasikan untuk orkestrasi proses bisnis tunggal yang bervariasi serta dalam koreografi proses bisnis transaksi yang berulang.   Abstract   Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) is a cashless payment method in Indonesia that utilizes the Quick Response (QR) code standard with more than 29.4 million registered merchants. More than 99% of QRIS merchants of micro, small, and medium businesses. The QRIS payment method is composed of two types of catego-ries, i.e., static QRIS and dynamic QRIS. One purpose of using QRIS in a shopping transaction is to improve and streamline the time used to complete the transaction. Improper use of QRIS in the transaction process could yield in increasing queues; thus, yielding unsatisfactory customer\u27s shopping experience. This study investigates the effectiveness and efficiency of using cashless static and dynamic QRIS that uses Merchant Presented Mode (MPM) in the transaction process. The investigated parameters include the time required to complete the transactions and the number of steps required by users, i.e., buyer and seller, to complete the transactions using the two types of QRIS investigated. System resources usage is disregarded from the investigation; hence, the limitation of this study. The findings of this study suggested that the use of dynamic QRIS produced through MPM can shorten the local transaction process where the sum between transactions were different. Additionally, in a situation of repeating transaction, the use of dynamic QRIS is suggested to improve the efficiency of business process choreography. Thus, dynamic QRIS is recommended in varying single transactions and in a repeating transaction of business process choreography.Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) merupakan salah satu metode pembayaran non-tunai di Indo-nesia yang memanfaatkan standar kode Quick Response (QR) dengan lebih dari 29,4 juta merchant terdaftar.

    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
