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
Hydrosolidarity di Sungai Nil: Peran Nile Basin Initiative dalam Manajemen Sungai Lintas Batas
No full textThis article aims to explain the importance of NBI’s role in Nile River management. Transboundary basins are important water resources for 2 billion lives across the world. Those basins fulfil domestic water, drinking water, agriculture, industry, and electric generator needs. In north-east of Africa, Nile river plays the important role for its eleven riparian states. Nile river, being the longest river in the world, supports the lives of more than 300 million people, and the number is estimated to rise greatly in three to four decades in the future. The increase of population will affect the availability of water as the demands of agriculture, domestic, and industry grow. Nile riparian states realized that the best option in using, protecting, and managing the river in a sustainable and integrated manner is through international cooperation. In 1999, Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) was established with Nile riparian states as its member, with the purpose of facilitating discussions of cooperation regarding the management of the river. This article uses the theory of hydrosolidarity. Results show that NBI has important roles in Nile river management, namely in the creation of a cooperative institutional structure, supporting stakeholder participations, supporting data and knowledge sharing, and supporting integrations and linkages.
Keywords: Hydrosolidarity; Nile Basin Initiative; Nile River; Transboundary RiverDaerah aliran sungai lintas batas merupakan sumber air yang penting bagi kehidupan sebanyak 2 milliar jiwa di seluruh dunia. Aliran air tersebut memenuhi kebutuhan air domestik, air minum, irigasi, agrikultur, industri, serta pembangkit listrik. Di wilayah timur-laut Afrika, sungai Nil memegang peran penting tersebut bagi sebanyak sebelas negara di wilayah alirannya. Selain sebagai sungai terpanjang di dunia, sungai Nil mendukung kehidupan sebanyak lebih dari 300 juta penduduk, dimana jumlah tersebut diestimasikan mengalami peningkatan pesat pada tiga hingga empat dekade mendatang. Meningkatnya populasi akan berpengaruh pada ketersediaan air dikarenakan meningkatnya permintaan di sektor agrikultur, domestik, serta industri. Negara-negara wilayah sungai Nil menyadari bahwa langkah terbaik dalam penggunaan, perlindungan, serta manajemen sungai tersebut secara berkelanjutan dan terintegrasi adalah melalui kerjasama internasional bersama. Pada tahun 1999 terbentuk Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) yang beranggotakan negara-negara wilayah sungai Nil yang bertujuan memfasilitasi diskusi kerjasama terkait manajemen sungai tersebut. Tulisan ini bertujuan menunjukkan pentingnya peran NBI dalam manajemen sungai lintas batas. Tulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan hydrosolidarity. Hasil pembahasan mendukung argumen penulis bahwa NBI berperan penting dalam manajemen sungai Nil, yakni sebagai sebuah struktur institusi yang mendukung kerjasama, sebagai pendukung partisipasi pemangku kepentingan, mendukung penyebaran data dan pengetahuan antar negara anggota, serta mendukung adanya integrasi dan perhubungan.

Addressing Climate Change Impacts in Sub-Saharan Africa: Lessons from Ghana and Ethiopia
No full textMakalah ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari strategi ketahanan perubahan iklim di negara-negara Sub-Sahara. Perubahan iklim telah dianggap sebagai masalah yang terus berkembang di seluruh dunia. Afrika Sub-Sahara dianggap sebagai salah satu kawasan di dunia yang paling rentan terhadap perubahan iklim. Studi ini terutama menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif sebagai metode penelitian utamanya untuk mendapatkan pemahaman mendalam mengenai kebijakan iklim Ghana dan Ethiopia. Dalam makalah ini, Kebijakan Perubahan Iklim Nasional Ghana dan Rencana Adaptasi Nasional Ethiopia diuraikan dan dianalisis berdasarkan kepentingan nasional dan strategi implementasinya. Studi ini menemukan bahwa kebijakan iklim kedua negara tidak hanya menekankan pada pencegahan degradasi lingkungan, tetapi juga pada bagaimana memobilisasi sumber daya mereka untuk memperkuat perekonomian mereka dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim
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
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
