    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

    Aneka kuliner Aceh

    Aceh memiliki sumber daya alam yang melimpah. Kekayaan alam tersebut membuat Aceh terkenal hingga mancanegara dan menjadi daerah incaran pada masa penjajahan Belanda. Lada dan pala, dua komoditas tersebut sangat dicari untuk dijadikan bumbu makanan. Tidak kecuali, karena kekayaan sumber daya alam tersebut membuat Aceh memiliki sejumlah aneka kuliner yang khas. Oleh karena itu, penulis ingin menulisnya dalam buku sederhana untuk menjadi kebanggaan anak-anak Aceh serta bertujuan mengenalkannya pada seluruh anak Indonesia. Buku ini disusun berdasarkan pertimbangan tanggung jawab moral penulis selaku mahasiswa Magister Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia. Penulis selama ini diajarkan oleh Dr. Rajab Bahry, M.Pd., selaku pengasuh mata kuliah Literasi, bahwa minat baca anak Indonesia rendah, salah satu penyebabnya minim bahan bacaan yang dekat dengan mereka. Oleh karena itu, sebagai bentuk pertanggungjawaban akan ilmu yang ditransfer dari beliau, penulis mencoba menyusun buku aneka kuliner khas Aceh dalam bentuk sederhana ini

    Forest are a very valuable nature resource. Indonesia’s forests are one of the world’s riches that greatly influence the global climate. The existence of increasingly damaged forests requires serious handling to maintain the ecosystem and maintain environmental sustainability. In recent decades, forest and land fires have become more frequent in Indonesia. Most of the forest fires that occur in Indonesia occur in peat land and forest ares that occur on the surface. Forest or land fires are natural disasters that often occur on the island of sumatera, especially in the province of Riau. These fires are very vulnerable to occur during the dry season. The formulation of the problem in this study is: first, what are the causal factors of the forest and land fires in the jurisdiction of the Rohil Police? Second, How are the police’s Effort in overcoming forest and land fires in the jurisdiction of the Rohil Police? Second, How are the Police’s Efforts in Overcoming Forest and Land Fires in The Jurisdiction of the rohil Police? In this study, the author uses a type of sociological or empirical legal research ( Observational Resarch ), namely by going into the field to obtain a number of data. The data and data sources that the author uses are primary data, while the data collection techniques that the author uses are using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. While the method of drawing conclusions that the author uses in this study is the deductive method, namely taking conclusions from general to specific things. From the results of the research and discussion that the author found, namely: First, the cause of forest and land fires in the jurisdiction of the Rokan Hilir Police is caused by land clearing by burning, negligence of anglers or residents who carry out activities in the forrest who throw cigarette butts carelessy and hot weather in the dry season. This is what triggers forest and land fires are criminal law enforcement against perpetrators of forest and land burning, appeals and education to the community about the dangers of clearing land by burning, and related institutions also carry out routine patrols in every in every village in the jurisdiction of the Rohil Police

    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
