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
Strategic Issues of Regional Development: Government Policy Evaluation of Papua
Full text linkThe five-year period of development as outlined in the document RPJMD (Medium-Term Regional Development Plan), has achieved significant success, although there are still conscious strategic issues that are unsolved optimally. It can be traced from a series of evaluation studies to ensure consistency between the programs organized in 5 years with defined policy agenda to achieve the vision of local government. This study was conducted in a pragmatic approach that emphasizes the evaluation of policies: First, Integratif. An evaluation of the program and its financial package on cross institutions (Ind: SKPD/regional work unit). Secondly, comparatively, the achievements of development program compared with: (a) the goals stated in the document of Medium-Term Regional Development Plan (RJPMD/Ind), (b) development of mean achievement average per year, (c) the achievements of other areas, including a national scale and the achievement of the MDG's (Millennium Development Goal's).Object of the study are: All the goals set out in the mission to realize its vision of regional development as well as development programs and activities to achieve the targets and affect from various sources of financial. This study covers the gains of development programs within 5 years, including: macro achievements and outcomes for each development field. In addition, it is also obtained a description of the degree of relevancy, coherence, and correspondence between the realization of programs and activities with targeted goals, as well as the achievement of the mission and the development agenda so it can be measured the degree of the medium-term vision achievement. The district/city as a target sample of the study is Jayapura District, Puncak Jaya, District, Mimika District, and Jayapura city
Develop Papua with Flakes of Spirit: Special Autonomy Authority
Full text linkA decade of development Papua special autonomy authority, it still spawned numerous ripples of dissatisfaction. The authority should be implemented optimally, faced with various obstacles, both internal within the government and the people of Papua, as well as external mainly from the Central Government. However, there is no denying behind the dissatisfaction, the fact that there is success and progress that will benefit the government and the people of Papua. Dissatisfaction that arises only because the treatment of the special autonomy is half-hearted and inconsistent, so the degree of achievement of development should be more meaningful again. This study is considered very important to give meaning to the success of development inspired by the values of special autonomy in its rules implementation. Besides being one of the chain of the management cycle of development, is also a mandate of Act No. 21 of 2001. In connection with that, as product policies, its review refers to the policy dimensions of implementation and performance policy
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
Educational Policy Strategy Under The Papua Special Autonomy Framework
No full textAn appropriate policy design is a crucial factor in improving the efficiency of education service. The design is influenced by the significant implementation of education strategies, to which the dimensions of organizational environment, organizational values, and organizational resources contribute. In the case of Jayapura Regency, the dimension that predominantly affects the education service efficiency is the organizational resources, whilst the organizational environment is the least influential. The small influence from the organizational environment results from a strong tendency to disregard the importance of politics, geography, demography, and the potential of natural resources as a dimension of the external environment. Moreover, the education service orientation and public needs accommodation are determined by the support from organizational values and resources
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
