Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
EVALUASI PROGRAM PEMBINAAN SUMBER DAYA MANUSIA DI YAYASAN LEMBAGA ALKITAB INDONESIA
Get PDFPenelitian evaluasi program pembinaan sumberdaya manusia (PSDM) di Yayasan Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia (LAI) bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas penerapan penyelenggaraan program PSDM yang meliputi tahap masukan, proses, dan hasil di Yayasan Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia. Penelitian ini tergolong penelitian evaluatif dengan menggunakan kerangka model evaluasi Stake’s Countennance Evaluation Model yang dikembangkan oleh Robert Stake dengan tiga komponen evaluasi, yaitu: Antecedent (masukan), Transaction (proses) dan Outcomes (hasil). Data dikumpulkan melalui studi dokumen, wawancara, observasi, dan focus group discussion (FGD) serta data digabungkan dalam teknik pengumpulan data, dan kemudian dilakukan pengujian kredibilitas data (triangulasi). Analisis data kualitatif melalui tahap pengumpulan data, tahap reduksi data (membuat ringkasan, mengkode, menelusur tema, membuat gugus-gugus, membuat partisi, menulis memo), tahap penyajian data dan tahap penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa secara umum penerapan program pembinaan SDM di LAI belum berjalan secara efektif dan efisien. Secara umum tidak semua aspek yang dievaluasi memenuhi standar kriteria yang ditetapkan. Tidak semua kriteria evaluasi memenuhi kecukupan dan ketepatan implementasi program. Tidak semua aspek yang dievaluasi ada hubungan ekivalensi yang setara (conqruency) antara tujuan yang diharapkan (intent) dengan kondisi fakta yang sesungguhnya terjadi (observation). Secara hubungan kausalitas sebab-akibat (contingency) antarkomponen antecedent (masukan), transaction (proses), dan outcomes (hasil) menunjukkan saling ada keterkaitan efektivitas implementasi program, dimana komponen antecendent memengaruhi transcaction dan selanjutnya memengaruhi outcomes.
The objective of the research on the program of Human Resources Development (HRD) in the Indonesian Bible Society (IBS) is to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of the HRD program implementation, which includes the input phase, the process, and the outcomes at the Indonesian Bible Society. This research is considered an evaluative research using Stake's evaluation model framework called the Countennance Evaluation Model. This model was developed by Robert Stake with three evaluation components, namely: Antecedent (inputs), Transaction (process), and Outcomes (results). The data collection was done using documentation studies, interviews, observations, and focus group discussions (FGD), as well, the data was combined into various data collection techniques, and then the data was examined for its credibility (triangulated). A qualitative data analysis were done through the data collection phase, the data reduction phase (making summaries, coding, exploring themes, creating clusters, creating partitions, writing memos), the data presentation phase, and the conclusion phase. The research concludes that in general the application of the HRD program in IBS has not been effective nor efficient. Generally, not all aspects of what's being evaluated meets the standard criteria as stipulated. Not all evaluation criteria sufficiently nor accurately meets the program implementation. Not all aspects being evaluated has an equivalent relationship (congruency) between the expected intention (intent) with the actual fact that happens (observation). Based on a causal relationship (contingency) among the components, i.e. antecedent (input), transaction (process), and outcomes (results), it is shown there exists an effective connection of the program implementation, where the antecedent component affects transaction and furthermore it affects outcomes
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
