    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

    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

    Pengaruh Reward dan Punishment Terhadap Kinerja Anggota SAT SAMAPTA di Kepolisian Resor Ciamis

    Dalam rangka melaksanakan Visi dan Misi Kepolisian Negara Indonesia Resor Ciamis yaitu melindungi, mengayomi dan melayani masyarakat diwilayah hukum Polres Ciamis diperlukan insan-insan kepolisian yang mempunyai dan memiliki kinerja yang optimal berdedikasi dan bertanggung jawab, pantang menyerah serta patuh hukum, pelaksanaan Visi dan Misi tersebut juga merupakan salah satu tugas dan tanggung jawab yang harus dilaksanakan oleh anggota Sat Sampta Polres Ciamis. Namun dalam pelaksaannya tidaklah semudah membalikan tangan berdasarkan data yang ada masih terdapatnya pelanggaran yang kerap kali dilakukan oleh anggota Sat Samapta dimana hal tersebut semakin menurunkan citra kepolisian. Pimpinan di Kepolisian Resor Ciamis selalu berusaha secara konsisten untuk meningkatkan kinerja para anggotanya  salah satu diantaranya yaitu diterapkan sistem pemberian Reward dan Punishment yang dilaksanakan secara konsisten dan obyektif kepada anggota Sat Samapta Polres Ciamis dalam rangka meningkatkan kinerja para anggotanya. Banyak peneliti sebelumnya yang menjelaskan bahwa peningkatan kinerja pegawai dipengaruhi oleh penerapan reward dan punishmen. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode kuantitatif survei eksplanasi (explanatory survey)

    KALIBRASI SENSOR TEMPERATUR DENGAN METODA PERBANDINGAN DAN SIMULASI

    PT 100 temperature sensor calibration and Thermocouple can use the method of comparison or simulation. Method of comparison used by a standard calibration comparing with the source of ice cubes and boiling water to the Controller E5EK Omron Digital Indicator. The temperature measurement data is calculated through the four (4) the uncertainty is the uncertainty of the standard, master, joint, and stretching. Simulation results of the measurement data are made with data on indicators by Omron E5EK DigitalController InsL and InsH seek to determine the nominal value of the temperature. Keywords: Calibration, Sensor, Comparison, Simulation ABSTRAK Kalibrasi sensor temperatur PT 100 dan Thermocouple dapat menggunakan metoda perbandingan atau simulasi. Metoda perbandingan digunakan dengan cara membandingkan kalibrator standar berupa dengan sumber es batu maupun Air mendidih terhadap Indikator Digital Controller E5EK Omron. Data pengukuran Temperatur dihitung melalui empat (4) ketidakpastian yaitu ketidakpastian standar, master, gabungan dan terentang. Hasil data pengukuran dibuat Simulasi dengan data pada Indikator DigitalController E5EK Omron dengan cara mencari InsL dan InsH untukmenentukan nilai nominal temperatur.
