    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

    Puji SumarsonoDosen Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang Email: [email protected]:School-based management has attracted many scholars to debate over it for several decades. SBM is even indicated to lead the school towards entrepreneurial school which applies pricipal values of business in managing the school. Therefore, this research aims to investigate this issue by using entrepreneurial government approach. The result shows that school that applies SBM also applies entrepreneurial principles in manging the school. In certain extent, this may lead to be effective and better school since it promotes parents to participate in managing school. However, it also presents injustice since the school whose parents are poor tends to produce poor school with low achievement students. While the school whose parents are rich tends to produce rich school with high achievement students.Keywords: entrepreneurial government, school-based managementAbstrak:Manajemen berbasis sekolah (MBS) telah mampu menarik perdebatan banyak sarjana selama beberapa dekade. MBS bahkan disinyalir telah menciptakan sekolah yang menerapkan prinsip-prinsip bisanis dalam mengelola sekolah. Karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencermati isu ini menggunakan pendekatan entrepreneurial government. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sekolah yang menerapkan MBS juga menerapkan prinsip-prinsip bisnis dalam mengelola sekolah. Dalam kondisi tertentu, pendekatan ini bisa membuat sekolah menjadi efektif dan lebih baik karena mampu mengajak orang tua atau masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi mengelolal sekolah. Namun disisi lain model ini menciptakan ketidakadilan terutama bagi sekolah yang wali muridnya miskin, maka sekolah akan jadi miskin dan kemampuan anak juga rendah, dan begitu sebaiknya bagi sekolah yang wali muridnya kaya, sekolah akan kaya dan kemampuan siswanya akan baik.Kata kunci: entrepreneurial government, manajemen berbasis sekola

    Higher education institutions tend to recruit experienced lecturers instead of novice lecturers because experienced lecturers guarantee the quality of teaching and learning process as well as effective management since it does not take time, more money, and special programs to make them qualified. In contrast, Language Center (LC) of UMM prefer recruit novice lecturers. This paper, therefore, aims to explore the policy, practices as well as the challenges of professional development for novice English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers. In-depth interview and document analysis were applied to investigate the problems. It was found that the policies of LC are to be the center for professional development which should recruit novice lecturers and most of the lecturers are alumni of English department of UMM. The practices for the professional development are in form of workshop on teaching and learning English especially ESP, workshop on writing ESP book, workshop on writing articles, induction program, religious speech. Meanwhile, the challenges that the institution face to run this program are divided into internal and external challenges

    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
