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
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
Antioxidant and Ace Inhibitor Potential of Stripe Trevally Fish (Selaroides leptolepis) Hydrolysate
Get PDFThis study aimed to investigate the potency of fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) of stripe trevally fish (Selaroides leptolepis) as antioxidant and ACE inhibitor. The FPH was produced through enzymatically hydrolysis using protease produced by Bacillus licheniformis, a collection of Research and Development Center for Marine and Fisheries Product Processing and Biotechnology (RDCMFPPB). The FPH was fractionated using ultrafiltration membranes with molecular weight cut off (MWCO) of 10, 5 and 3 kDa. The hydrolysis degree, protein content, peptide content, antioxidant activity and Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor were observed. The result showed that FPH had maximum hydrolysis degree of 63.91% reached after 6 hours hydrolysis with protein content of 27.43 mg/mL and peptide content of 223.32 mg/mL. That FPH showed antioxidant activity (IC50) of 1941.06 ppm and ACE inhibitor of 87.82% at test concentration of 10 mg/mL. In the ultrafiltration step, the higher molecular cut off used, the higher protein content and peptide content. The lower molecular weight of the hydrolysate, the better antioxidant and ACE inhibitor activity. The best fractionation that produce potential product to be used as anti-hypertension was in mixture peptides between 3-5 kDa. The IC50 antioxidant activity was 1336.96 ppm and percentage of ACE inhibitor was 97.15% % (with a concentration of 10 mg/mL). From the results, protein hydrolysate of stripe trevally fish produced by enzymatic hydrolysis using local protease was potential as a functional ingredient, particularly as antihypertensive agent
Financial Feasibility Analysis of Pickled Skipjack Tuna Products at Titiefood MSMEs in Gorontalo City
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of the pickled skipjack tuna production business at the Titie Food MSME in Gorontalo City through the R/C Ratio, Break Even Point (BEP), and Payback Period (PP) approaches. The research method uses a quantitative descriptive approach by collecting data on fixed costs, variable costs, production volume, revenue, and initial investment incurred by the MSME. The results show that the total fixed costs of the Titie Food MSME are IDR 8,606,165.46 per month, with total variable costs reaching IDR 37,275,000.00 for a production capacity of 2,100 units. The R/C Ratio analysis shows a value greater than 1, which indicates that the business is in a profitable condition and is feasible to run. The BEP analysis shows that the business reaches the break-even point at sales of 703 units or IDR 21,090,000, while actual production far exceeds this value, thus providing a high safety margin. Furthermore, the Payback Period (PP) analysis shows that the initial investment of IDR 413,178,997.00 can be recovered within 24.13 months, or approximately two years. Overall, the results of this study confirm that the pickled skipjack tuna production business at the Titie Food MSME is financially viable and has good long-term development prospect
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
