Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Analisis biaya penerapan tarif air dalam upaya meningkatkan profitabilitas Perusahaan Daerah Air Minum (PDAM) Tirta Mukti Cianjur
Full text linkTarif merupakan salah satu unsur pokok dalam setiap perusahaan pemerintah daerah maupun swasta sebagai layanan penyedia jasa air bersih, penerapan tarif yang sesuai dengan perhitungan yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah menjadi pokok utama dalam setiap penerapan nya.

THE INFLUENCE OF AUDITOR COMPETENCE AND INDEPENDENCE ON AUDIT QUALITY
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the influence of auditor competence and auditor independence on audit quality at Public Accounting Firms (KAP) in Bandung. This research employs a verification method with a quantitative approach, where primary data is collected through questionnaires distributed to auditors with a minimum of two years of experience. Data analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression, with the t-test to determine the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable. The results of the t-test indicate that auditor competence has a t-value of 4.693 with a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05), meaning that auditor competence has a positive and significant impact on audit quality. Meanwhile, auditor independence has a t-value of 5.255 with a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05), also showing a positive and significant effect on audit quality. Additionally, the results of the F-test reveal that auditor competence and independence jointly influence audit quality, with an F-value of 122.933 and a significance level of 0.000. With an Adjusted R² value of 0.830, this study shows that 83.0% of variations in audit quality can be explained by auditor competence and independence, while the remaining 17.0% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. Therefore, improving audit quality can be achieved by enhancing auditor competence through training and professional certification and ensuring auditor independence in performing their duties to produce objective and high-quality audits
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
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
