    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

    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

    FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KEPUASAN KERJA PERAWAT PELAKSANA DI RUANG RAWAT INAP RUMAH SAKIT BUDI KEMULIAAN BATAM TAHUN 2015

    Kepuasan kerja merupakan suatu keadaan yang sifatnya subjektif yang didasarkan pada suatu perbandingan mengenai apa yang secara nyata diterima oleh seseorang dari pekerjaanya dibandingkan dengan apa yang diharapkan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kepuasan kerja perawat pelaksana di ruang rawat inap RSBK Batam. Jenis penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel adalah seluruh perawat pelaksana di ruang rawat inap RSBK dengan sampel 88 orang, dengan teknik pengambilan sampel, total sampling. Hasil uji statistik bivariat chi-square menunjukan hasil terdapatnya hubungan bermakna kepemimpinan, kondisi lingkungan kerja, kesempatan promosi dan supervise dengan kepuasan kerja perawat pelaksana, Sedangkan hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan faktor yang paling dominan adalah kesempatan promosi. Manajemen keperawatan diharapkan selalu meningkatkan kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan promosi terutama pendidikan lanjutan dan pelatihan keperawatan.

    KAJIAN PRODUKTIVITAS PRIMER DAN KELIMPAHAN FITOPLANKTON DI PERAIRAN SUNGAI KRUENG CUT, KOTA BANDA ACEH

    Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai produktivitas primer dan kelimpahan fitoplankton serta menganalisa hubungan produktivitas primer dengan kelimpahan fitoplankton dan kualitas air di perairan Sungai Krueng Cut, Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan November 2020 di perairan Sungai Krueng Cut, Kecamatan Syiah Kuala, Kota Banda Aceh. Penentuan titik stasiun dilakukan secara purposive sampling, pengukuran produktivitas primer diamati dengan metode oksigen botol gelap dan botol terang, pengambilan sampel plankton dilakukan dengan metode penyaringan Passive Filtration Method dan pengukuran parameter kualitas air dilakukan secara in situ. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata produktivitas primer kotor tertinggi terdapat pada Stasiun 3, yaitu dengan nilai sebesar 3,47 mgC/jam dan yang terendah terdapat pada Stasiun 1 dan 2, yaitu 0 mgC/jam. Sebaliknya, nilai rata-rata produktivitas primer bersih tertinggi terdapat pada Stasiun 2, yaitu 13,89 mgC/jam, dan terendah terdapat pada Stasiun 3, yaitu 0 mgC/jam. Hasil pengukuran parameter salinitas, pH, arus, oksigen terlarut dan suhu menunjukkan bahwa kualitas lingkungan perairan Sungai Krueng Cut masih tergolong dalam batas toleransi perairan. Akan tetapi, disebabkan parameter kecerahan yang kurang mendukung, maka diduga akan terhambatnya proses fotosintesis fitoplankton. Berdasarkan nilai produktivitas primer, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa tingkat kesuburan perairan Sungai Krueng Cut tergolong kurang subur (oligotrofik). Hasil penelitian ditemukan sebanyak 18 spesies fitoplankton yang digolongkan dalam 6 kelas. Dari semua kelas fitoplankton yang ditemukan, kelas Cyanophyceae dengan spesies Anabaena sp. merupakan spesies fitoplankton yang memiliki kelimpahan paling tinggi dan tersebar pada ketiga stasiun pengamatan. Meskipun demikian, jika ditinjau dari jumlah spesies yang ditemukan, kelas Bacillariophyceae memiliki spesies fitoplankton yang lebih beragam, terdapat 12 spesies yang ditemukan. Secara keseluruhan, kelimpahan fitoplankton di perairan Sungai Krueng Cut adalah sebesar 1280 ind/l. Kelimpahan fitoplankton berkorelasi positif terhadap produktivitas primer bersih dan berkorelasi negatif terhadap produktivitas primer kotor. Selanjutnya penelitian ini menunjukkan tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan dari pH terhadap kelimpahan fitoplankton. Sebaliknya kelimpahan fitoplankton memiliki korelasi positif yang kuat dengan parameter perairan lainnya yaitu suhu, arus, salinitas dan kecerahan.Kata kunci: Fitoplankton, Krueng Cut, Produktivitas Primer, Korelasi, Kualitas perairan
