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
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
Case Study: Postruth Construction During The Covid 19 Pandemic
Full text linkThis study aims to propose post truth as one of the constructions of transhumanism. To make it easy to understand, the research took case studies in cyberspace related to Covid-19 in Indonesia. Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method is used to analyze post truth on Instagram social media. The results show that post truth as a construction of transhumanism has several arrangements. First, there is a post truth agent, namely the implementing party or subject who does post truth, this shows that the existence of digital technology makes humans have an ambivalent identity. Second, momentum, in this case of the covid pandemic and hot issues (disputes between regional leaders as the time for discourse to appear), momentum is the key that post truth can occur. This shows that technology is used to understand how we co-create human experience. Finally, people who concentrate on digital technology and cyberspace currently operate with the logic of surveillance capitalism, meaning that everything is measured by the number of clicks, engagement, and the duration of the audience watching. We believe that these results have the potential to cause bias in the truth of information to the public, so this study suggests that public authorities should take all the necessary measures to enhance the literacy public to mitigating the negative impacts caused due to the post truth
MISMATCH TRACER STUDY DAN DESAIN SILABUS
Full text linkMismatch dipicu oleh kurang adanya komunikasi antara dunia industri, pasar kerja dengan dunia pendidikan. Dunia pendidikan belum responsif atau cenderung terlambat menyikapi perkembangan industri dan dinamika pasar kerja. Upaya penyelesaian problem penyelarasan antara keduanya selama ini masih bersifat parsial dan sporadis. Kualitas kompetensi pekerja belum memenuhi kebutuhan industri dan pasar kerja; tingkat produktivitas kerja masih rendah; penciptaan usaha baru dan mandiri sebagai wujud kemampuan berwirausaha belum optimal. Mismatch adalah masalah kurang “berjodoh” antara dunia pendidikan dengan dunia industri/dunia kerja. Indikatornya adalah pengangguran. Pengangguran sarjana merupakan fenomena kasat mata yang masih banyak dibicarakan daripada diselesaikan. Dunia pendidikan sebagai penanggung jawab dalam pengelolaannya mendapatkan tantangan serius untuk mengatasinya. Dengan informasi dari tracer study maka rancangan kurikulum dan silabus akan mendapatkan masukan yang tepat dan akurat. Dengan dasar pijakan hasil tracer study tersebut maka paling sedikit dapat menginspirasi pengembangan desain kurikulum dan silabus dalam tiga hal, yaitu: (1) kompetensi apa dan dengan standar minimal seberapa yang diperlukan dunia industri sehingga SDM lulusan dengan kompetensi tersebut dapat memiliki keunggulan komparatif dan kompetitif, bukan saja dalam skala lokal dan nasional tetapi sekaligus dalam skala dunia/global, (2) dengan jelasnya kompetensi yang diperlukan tersebut (apa kompetensi yang dibutuhkan dan seberapa standar minimalnya dari tracer study) maka dapat diketahui pula tentang pendekatan, metode, teknik, dan strategi pembelajaran yang harus dilakukan untuk mengasah dan membentuk kompetensi tersebut, (3) dengan jelasnya kompetensi yang diperlukan tersebut (apa dan seberapa standar minimalnya dari tracer study) maka dapat diketahui pula tentang apa saja yang perlu dievaluasi (kognisi, afeksi dan psikomotorik) dan bagaimana caranya untuk mengevaluasi atau mengukur bahwa standar kompetensi dan kompetensi dasar sudah dimiliki oleh peserta didik
