    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

    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

C. Kalesaran3 1,2,3Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat, Universitas Sam Ratulangi1,2,3 *Corresponding Author : [email protected]   ABSTRAK Rumah sakit termasuk tempat kerja yang memiliki risiko tinggi terkena hingga terpapar penyakit ataupun kecelakaan kerja sehingga membutuhkan penerapan K3RS. Persepsi merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi perilaku seseorang, sehingga persepsi seseorang terhadap K3 sangat penting serta berpengaruh dalam membentuk perilaku kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja yang baik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui mengenai faktor – faktor yang berhubungan dengan persepsi karyawan non medis mengenai kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Dr Sam Ratulangi Tondano. Jenis penelitian ini yaitu kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian deskpriptif analitik. Penelitian ini memakai pendekatan cross sectional study. Hasil penelitian dengan uji chi square diperoleh nilai p = 0,016 pada faktor pengetahuan, nilai p = 0,279 pada faktor pengalaman, dan nilai p = 0,000 pada faktor lingkungan kerja. Dapat disimpulkan ada hubungan antara pengetahuan serta lingkungan kerja dengan persepsi karyawan non medis tentang K3RS namun tidak ada hubungan antara pengalaman dengan persepsi karyawan non medis tentang K3RS

    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

    MOTIF KOMUNITAS SELARAS ALAM BERKEBUN KOPI DI TENGAH DOMINASI PERKEBUNAN PALAWIJA DI NAGARI LASI KECAMATAN CANDUNG, KABUPATEN AGAM

    ABSTRAK Fradhicwa Seprianto 1210812012. Jurusan Sosiologi, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Andalas Padang. Judul Skripsi : Motif Komunitas Selaras Alam Berkebun Kopi di Tengah Dominasi Perkebunan Palawija di Nagari Lasi Kecamatan Canduang, Kabupaten Agam. Dosen Pembimbing I Prof. Dr. Afrizal, M.A dan Dosen Pembimbing II Dr. Indraddin, M.Si. Pada saat ini masalah lingkungan menjadi perhatian, sebagaimana telah diketahui pemanasan global dapat mengakibatkan kenaikan suhu permukaan bumi yang disebabkan oleh peningkatan keluaran (emisi) gas rumah kaca di atmosfer, hal tersebut dapat berdampak pada lapisan ozon yang kini semakin menipis. Kopi merupakan tanaman pertanian berkelanjutan yang dapat mengurangi pemanasan global. Di Nagari Lasi umumnya masyarakat berkebun palawija sedangkan Komunitas Selaras Alam memilih berkebun kopi. Oleh sebab itu, yang menjadi pertanyaan penelitian dalam penelitian ini adalah apa motif komunitas Selaras Alam berkebun kopi di tengah dominasi perkebunan palawija. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori Fenomenologi Alfred Schutz yang memfokuskan pada motif induvidu maupun kelompok dalam melakukan sesuatu. Dalam penelitian ini yang dilihat adalah Motif Komunitas Selaras Alam berkebun Kopi di Tengah Dominasi Perkebunan Palawija, melalui dua motif yaitu because motive dan in order to motive. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan tipe penelitian deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Berdasarkan hasil temuan dilapangan, Motif Komunitas Selaras Alam berkebun Kopi di Tengah Dominasi Perkebunan Palawija terdiri dari dua faktor yaitu because motive dan in order to motive. Faktor yang pertama Because motive, kopi ini dipilih karena kopi sangat cocok untuk ditanam di daerah lasi tersebut sehingga kopi dijadikan sebagai pilihan untuk ditanam lalu adanya masukan dan bantuan dari pihak pihak lain di luar komunitas selaras alam tersebut untuk memilih kopi sebagai pilihan. Faktor yang kedua yaitu in order to motive, kopi ini dipilih karena kopi bisa dijadikan tumbuhan penyangga dan sangat cocok dengan program dari Komunitas Selaras Alam yaitu konservasi hutan, lalu dengan berkebun kopi ini Komunitas Selaras Alam juga dapat meningkatkan sumber pendapatan masyarakat di daerah Lasi. Kata kunci: Memilih berkebun kopi, Because Motive, In Order to Motiv
