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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
TA : Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Rekam Medis Berbasis Web Pada Klinik Rumah Safa Surabaya
Klinik Rumah Safa Surabaya yang terletak di Jl. Gayungsari Barat XI/GC-01 mempunyai 5 poli yaitu poli umum, poli mata, poli gigi dewasa, poli gigi anak dan rehabilitasi medik. Saat pendaftaran pasien, terjadi antrian saat jumlah pasien yang akan berobat meningkat, dikarenakan pencarian rekam medik masih manual yaitu mencari pada lemari penyimpanan sehingga membutuhkan waktu sekitar 3-5 menit. Dalam pembuatan laporan juga membutuhkan waktu karena sumber laporan yang digunakan menggunakan media kertas, sehingga laporan yang dibuat tidak siap saat diminta oleh manager. Sumber laporan juga bisa hilang, dampaknya laporan yang dihasilkan menjadi tidak akurat.
Berdasarkan masalah di atas, maka solusi yang dibuat adalah merancang dan membangun aplikasi yang dapat membantu pengelolaan data pasien dan pembuatan laporan pada Klinik Rumah Safa Surabaya. Aplikasi yang dibuat dapat mengurangi antrian yang menumpuk saat jumlah pasien yang datang meningkat sehingga mempercepat proses pendaftaran. Aplikasi ini juga dapat mempercepat pembuatan laporan yang dibutuhkan oleh pihak Klinik Rumah Safa Surabaya.
Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi dapat mempercepat pengolahan data pasien, terutama pada bagian pendaftaran. Waktu yang dibutuhkan dalam pengolahan data pasien lebih cepat 3,04 menit. Waktu yang dibutuhkan dalam pembuatan laporan juga menjadi lebih cepat, dari 1 bulan lebih menjadi 0.11475 detik. Dengan adanya aplikasi ini, proses pengolahan data pasien dan pembuatan laporan menjadi lebih cepat
LKP : Sistem Informasi Akademik Berbasis Web pada SMA 17 Agustus 1945
Sistem Informasi Akademik SMA 17 Agustus 1945 yang telah disusun, merupakan sebuah perangkat lunak atau sistem informasi yang didalamnya meliputi proses pengolahan nilai dan penyusunan jadwal mata pelajaran. Sistem Informasi Akademik SMA 17 Agustus 1945 ini diharapkan dapat membantu guru dalam mengolah nilai peserta didiknya dan dapat membantu Bagian Kurikulum dalam hal jadwal pelajaran sekolah.
Pengolahan laporan nilai dan jadwal pelajaran merupakan salah satu kegiatan pada proses kegiatan belajar mengajar (KBM) didalam sebuah lembaga pendidikan atau sekolah. Jadwal pelajaran berfungsi mengatur jalannya proses kegiatan belajar mengajar berlangsung setiap harinya (hari, waktu, mata pelajaran dan jam guru mengajar). Sedangkan nilai berfungsi sebagai bahan evaluasi didik dan bertujuan untuk mengukur pencapaian kompetensi peserta didik dalam proses kegiatan belajar mengajar yang sudah ditempuh oleh peserta didik tersebut selama satu semester
Euphemisms in Cosmopolitan magazine of United Kingdom
In a conversation that relate with some sensitive matters such as politics, the types of euphemisms formation and the functions would be differ rather than in disease, sex and/or death topic. Little research has been conducted about the types and the functions of euphemisms that related with sexual and death topics. The aim of this study are to discussed about the types of euphemisms formation and the functions that relate with sexual - body's part and sexual - death, that are used by Cosmopolitan Magazine of United Kingdom in columns "love and sex" and "health" in the date 20 September until 20 December 2017. The researcher used Warren theory to determine the types of euphemisms formation and Burridge theory to determine the functions of euphemisms that is used by Cosmopolitan Magazine in columns "love and sex" and "health." Under descriptive qualitative method, this study gave the understanding about the types of euphemisms formation and functions of Cosmopolitan Magazine. The researcher himself acts as the instrument of this study. A number of techniques in data collection and data analysis were used to determine the types and the functions euphemisms of Cosmopolitan Magazine. The findings shows that there are four types of euphemisms formation that appeared, i.e. word formation devices, phonemic modification, loan words and semantic innovation and there are two functions of euphemisms that existed, i.e. Protective function and Ludic function
