    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

    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

    AKTANSIAL DAN STRUKTUR FUNGSIONAL DALAM NOVEL SURGA SUNGSANG KARYA TRIYANTO TRIWIKROMO

    Full text link
    AbstractThis research was motivated by the desire of researchers to reveal the actant scheme and functional structure in the novel Surga Sungsang by Triyanto Triwikromo. Researchers used the actantial theory dan functional structure of A.J. Greimas to reveal that actant scheme and functional structure. Actantial theory is theory about actant. Actant is abstraction role that divided into six function, that is sender, object, subject, helper, opponent, and receiver. The functional structure is the way of a fixed story. The functional structure consists of the initial situation, transformation, and final situation. The problem in this reseacrh is about how this actant scheme, functional structure, and meaning in the novel Surga Sungsang by Triyanto Triwikromo and also how the design of the implementation research result to literature learning in collage. Based on the research, founded 11 actant scheme and functional structure and founded 3 meanings in the novel Surga Sungsang by Triyanto Triwikromo. The implementation of learning research is embodied by making a RPS and RPM. Keywords: novel Surga Sungsang, actant scheme, functional structure

The results show that compensation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at PT.Duren Mandiri Fortuna Jambi, compensation has an effect positive and significant to organizational commitment at PT. Duren Mandiri Fortuna Jambi, organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at PT.Duren Mandiri Fortuna Jambi, compensation through organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Therefore, it is recommended that companies from the compensation aspect need to pay attention to the compensation , from the aspect of organizational commitment is one of the factors that affect employee performance, from the aspect of employee performance it needs to be improved. &nbsp

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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
