    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    A neural approach to robotich haptic Recognition of 3-D objects based on a Kohonen self-organizing feature map

    No full text
    This paper describes a novel approach to robotic haptic recognition, which exploits an unsupervised Kohonen self-organizing feature map for performing a match-to-sample classification of three-dimensional (3-D) objects. The results obtained, even though currently referring to a simulated environment and to some working assumptions, have emphasized the validity of the approach and its applicability in a variety of dextrous robotic systems

    PANDANGAN ORANG-ORANG MODERN TERHADAP TRADISI SUKU ASMAT DALAM NOVEL “NEGERI PARA ROH” KARYA ROSI L. SIMAMORA: TINJAUAN SOSIOLOGI SASTRA

    Dalam penelitian dengan judul “Pandangan Orang-orang Modern terhadap Tradisi Suku Asmat dalam Novel Negeri Para Roh Karya Rosi L. Simamora”. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi Pandangan orang-orang modern terhadap tradisi suku Asmat dan makna pandangan orang-orang modern terhadap tradisi suku Asmat dalam novel Negeri Para Roh karya Rosi L. Simamora. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif yang mengkaji karya sastra melalui teks dengan melakukan metode library research. Data yang diperoleh bersumber dari buku dan artikel sehingga menghasilkan kesimpulan pada penelitian dalam novel ini. Selanjutnya, peneliti juga memanfaatkan perspektif sosiologi sastra oleh Alan Swingewood. Berdasarkan dari hasil analisis, peneliti menemukan bahwa orang-orang modern yang terdapat dalam novel Negeri Para Roh yang telah mengalami proses modernisasi, memberikan pendapatnya mengenai tradisi suku Asmat yang menjadi kepercayan yang telah diyakini oleh masyarakat suku Asmat yang jarang diketahui oleh masyarakat luar. Novel Negeri Para Roh membuka cakrawala baru mengenai pentingnya menghargai sebuat tradisi sebagai bentuk jati diri yang membedakan suku-suku bangsa di Indonesia. Hal tersebut digambarkan melalui perjalanan para tokoh modern yang mengunjungi Agats, Kabupaten Asmat untuk keperluan pekerjaan. Para tokoh seperti Senna, Bagus, Hara, dan Sambudi yang merupakan orang-orang modern yang memiliki pendapat berbeda mengenai tradisi suku Asmat. Faktor perkembangan zaman yang terjadi dan menyebar dalam kehidupan masyarakat selama ini menyebabkan pergeseran tradisi yang semula dilakukan dengan keyakinan agar aman, kini justru tradisi tersebut menjadi sesuatu yang dikomersialkan. Berbagai pendapat oleh orang-orang modern yang terdapat dalam novel diwakili oleh tokoh Bagus, Senna, Sambudi, Totopras, dan Hara dalam memandang tradisi suku Asmat tersebut secara tidak langsung memperlihatkan pro dan kontra terhadap berlangsungnya tradisi suku Asmat

    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
