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
Vegetative Propagation of PeatT Forest Tree Combretocarpus rotundatus (TUMIH (.Miq) Dancer) with Apical Cutting Methods
Cutting is plant propagation system which relatively easy and produces seeds with good quality with the similar characteristics as its parent and takes less time. Until now, the success rooted cuttings of tumih still not known certainly. The research aim is determine the effect of giving the hormone IBA 100 ppm, NAA 100 ppm and combination of IBA 50 ppm and NAA 50 ppm on the growth of Tumih shoots cuttings (Combretocarpus rotundatus (.Miq) Danser). The conclusion that can be taken on the basis of this research was the addition of plant growth regulators (IBA, NAA, and IBA + NAA) has no significant effect on the growth of shoots cuttings Tumih (Combretocarpus rotundatus (.Miq) Danser) so that the use of growth regulators is not needed in breeding of Tumih shoots cuttings (Combretocarpus rotundatus (. Miq) Danser)

Shoot Cuttings of Merawan (Hopea cernua) with Rooting Media and Hormone Treatments STEK PUCUK MERAWAN (Hopea cernua Teijsm. & Binn.) DENGAN PERLAKUAN MEDIA TUMBUH DAN HORMON
Merawan (Hopea cernua Teijsm. & Binn.) was tested in Center for Conservation and Rehabilitation Research and Development (CCRRD) Gunung Batu. This species brought from its natural source in Lampung to CCRRD. This study purposed to acquire the best treatments for species propagation. This research shown that sand media with 5% husk charcoal has a highly significant effect for survival percentage, shoot percentage; and significantly different on root percentage, root length and number of roots. Rootone-F hormone affect on survival percentage and shooting percentage. The highest result for survival percentage were reached by sand media with husk charcoal (91.38%), however Rootone-F reached (86.00%). The highest results for shoot percentage showed in sand media with husk charcoal and in Rootone-F hormone i.e 77.18% and 71.43% respectively. The highest result for root percentage, root length and number of roots were reached by sand media with husk charcoal i.e 18.57%, 214.25 cm, and 64 roots respectively.Key words: growth media, Hopea cernua, hormone, shoot cutting
