    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    ABSTRAK   Kementrian Peranian Republik Indonesia sesungguhnya  telah mengupayakan penapaian target swasembada pangan di Indonesia segera dapat tercapai dimulai sejak tahun 2015,  Pemerintah   melaksanakan  program  yang  bernama  Upaya   Khusus    ( UPSUS ) swasembada padi dengan target produksi Padi pada tahun 2019 dapat mencapai 84  juta ton.[1]  Namun sama-sama kita sadari bahwa upaya penanaman padi ini selalu dihadapkan dengan adanya gangguan untuk meraihnya, antara lain perubahan iklim, bencana alam seperti banjir, kekeringan dan juga adanya pengaruh hama penyakit, misalnya walang sangit, wereng, ulat batang, dan lainnya. Sebagai cara mengatasi kendala ini maka pemerintah berusaha membantu para petani di Indonesia dengan melindungi tanaman padinya ini melalui program asuransi usaha tani padi ( AUTP ), sebagaimana telah terantum dalam Undang-Undang  Nomor 19  Tahun 2013  tentang  Perlindungan  dan  Pemberdayaan   Petani  ( UUP3 ) dilanjutkan dengan ketentuan Peraturan mentri Pertanian No.40 Tahun 2015 mengatur Fasilitasi Asuransi Pertanian dan Keputusan Mentri Pertanian Republik Indonesia Nomor : 30/Kpts/SR.210/B/12/2018 tentang Pedoman Bantuan Premi Asuransi Usaha Tani Padi. Untuk mengetahui sejauh mana program Pemerintah ini sudah dapat diterima oleh masyarakat petani, khususnya di daerah sampel penelitian di Kota Probolinggo maka dapat kami sampaikan seperti tersebut dibawah ini, bahwa Kota Probolinggo pada Tahun 2019, melalui Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan Kota probolinggo sudah menetpkan peserta Definitif Asuransi Usaha Tani Padi (AUTP) berdasarkan Surat Keputusan Nomor : 520/1703.1/425.104/2019 sebanyak 60 Kelompok Tani sekota Probolinggo dengan luas lahan 945,92 Ha dan jumlah Premi Pp. 34.161.120,-. Tahapan metode penelitian yang akan dilakukan adalah mulai dari pendekatan masalah dengan Yuridis empiris, sumber data terdiri data primer dan sekunder, cara pengumpulan data dengan dilakukan observasi ke lapangan penelitian maupun penelitian kepustakaan dan terakhir adalah analisa data dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif.   Kata kunci  : Asuransi pertanian, kelompok tani, Kota Probolingg

    RANCANG BANGUN PALANG PINTU KERETA API OTOMATIS MENGGUNAKAN SENSOR GETAR BERBASIS PLC DAN WIRELESS XBee Pro S2C

    Kereta api merupakan alat transportasi yang banyak diminati oleh masyarakat namun ada sisi lain dari kekurangan kereta api yaitu disepanjang jalur khusus rel kereta api banyak yang tidak difasilitasi dengan adanya palang pintu perlintasan. Maka sering terjadi kecelakaan dijalur perlintasan kereta api salah satunya karena kelalaian operator palang pintu kereta api. Dengan adanya hal ini untuk mengurangi kecelakaan dan mempertambah adanya fasilitas pintu perlintasan kereta api yang tidak ada, maka dibuatlah Rancang Bangun Palang Pintu Kereta Api Otomatis dengan menggunakan Sensor Getar sebagai pendeteksi adanya getaran pada rel kereta api, pintu perlintasan sepenuhnya dikendalikan oleh PLC dan XBee modul sebagai sistem Wireless agar dapat mengurangi adanya kebutuhan pada kabel. Dengan mendeteksi kedatangan kereta tersebut Sensor Getar dapat bekerja dengan cara memanfaatkan adanya getaran pada rel kereta api, tidak hanya mendeteksi adanya kedatangan kereta, Sensor Getar juga dapat bekerja pendeteksian agar Motor Servo sebagai pintu perlintasan dapat segera tertutup dan terbuka pada miniatur dengan dikendalikan oleh PLC dan Wireless sebagai pemberi triggernya.Kata kunci : sensor getar, XBee Modul, Motor Servo, PLC.

    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
