    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

    Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah adakah pengaruh penggunaan keterampilan meronce terhadap kemampuan motorik halus anak tunanetra yang berada di SLB- A TPA Jember. Indikator yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini antara lain, indikator variabel X (keterampilan meronce) meliputi: menyebutkan bentuk, memegang, mengambil, memasukkan, merangkai dan meronce manik – manik. Indikator variabel Y meliputi: kekuatan, ketahanan, flesksibilitas dan koordinasi. Jenis dari penelitian ini adalah  penelitian tindakan kelas dengan menggunakan desain penelitian model Kurt Lewin. Ada beberapa tahapan dalam penelitian persiklus yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi dan refleksi. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini adalah tes, observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Data penelitian dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Subyek penelitian yaitu kelas 5 SD sejumlah 3 orang siswa. Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan manik – manik berukuran besar, kecil dan oval. Dimana hasil menunjukan bahwa dikalukannya keterampilan meronce yang dilakukan oleh ketiga siswa tunanetra secara berulang – ulang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus. Antara siklus I dan II menunjukan perbedaan peningkatan motorik halus anak. Pada penelitian siklus II nilai dan kemampuan motorik halus anak jauh lebih baik dari pada pada penelitian siklus I dan mengalami peningkatan dari 28-30%. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh keterampilan meronce terhadap kemampuan motorik halus anak tunanetra

    This type of research is causal quantitative research. Determination of the research area is done using purposive sampling area techniques. In this study, the method of determining respondents was population reseach. The methods used by the author in data collection in this study are 1) Observation (observation), 2) Interview (interview), and 3) Documentation. Pre-research includes trials of research instruments of both validity and reliability. While post-research is a test conducted to find out the results of research that will determine the acceptance or rejection of a research hypothesis. From the results of this study the authors can conclude that the results on the first hypothesis test p value of 3.146 means p > 0.05, in the second hypothesis test p value of 5,160 means p > 0.05 and in the third hypothesis test p value of 36.764 means p > f table then in all tests the null hypothesis is rejected. Therefore, the results of the study are a) there is an influence on the application of the natural center defense model on the improvement of creativity skills in children aged 5 - 6 in kindergarten Labschool Universtas PGRI Argopuro Jember even semester of the School Year 2020/2021, b) there is an influence on the application of the natural center defense model on collage in children usi 5 - 6 in kindergarten Labschool Universtas PGRI Argopuro Jember even semester of the School Year 2020/2021, c) There is an influence on the Application of Natural Center Learning Model on the improvement of Creativity and increased collage ability together in children aged 5 - 6 in kindergarten Labschool Universtas PGRI Argopuro Jember

    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
