Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
The Effect Of Environmental Factor And Use Of Personal Protective Equipment On The Symptoms Of Acute Respiratory Tract Infections In Furniture Industry workers
Full text linkDust is one type of potential hazardzs in the workplace that can affect the health of the workers. The occupation that are always exposed to dust is furniture industry workers so that they have higher risk of getting acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) disorder which can interfere with breathing. The wood dust is formed from some of the sawn wood and sanding that will lead to an acute respiratory tract infection. The study aimed to determine the effect of environmental factor and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against the symptoms of acute respiratory infections in the furniture industry workers. The research method used was quantitative method with observational and cross-sectional research types and it was analysed by using logistic regression test. The population in this study was the workers of the furniture industry at Semarang street, Surabaya City, with a total of 57 people, of which 37 furniture workers as a sample. The results show that most of the workers has symptoms of acute respiratory tract infection. It could be influenced by the environmental factor such as dust exposure that produced wood dust in each manufacturing processes. Additionally, the use of PPE also affected the occurrence of acute respiratory tract infections symptoms in the workers. In conslusion, many factors can influence the occurrence of acute respiratory tract infection symptoms in the furniture industry workers. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the dust exposure in workers by wearing PPE such as respirators
Gambaran Pola Makan Terhadap Status Gizi Siswa di SD Putra Indonesia Surabaya
Full text linkMasalah gizi yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Indonesia sudah menjadi semakin lengkap dengan banyaknya masalah gizi pada anak-anak. Data Riset Kesehatan Dasar (RISKESDAS) tahun 2010 menunjukkan bahwadi Indonesia status gizi anak usia 6-18 tahun sebanyak 35,4% tergolong sangat pendek, sebanyak 66,6% tergolong pendek, sebanyak 4,6 % tergolong sangat kurus sebanyak 9,1%, sebanyak 22,1% dan sebanyak 13,1% tergolong gemuk. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dan penelitian deskriptif dengan rancang bangun cross sectional dan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Sampel dalam penelitian ini merupakan siswa kelas 4, 5, dan 6
SD Putra Indonesia. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 93 siswa yang metode total sampling, penggunaan metode ini karena jumlah populasi tidak lebih dari 100 orang. Hasil penelitian didapatkan sebagian besar pola makan responden secara umum yaitu sebagian besar tidak melakukan sarapan pagi, tidak membawa bekal makanan ke sekolah dan suka jajan di sekolah. Berdasarkan hasil penilaian status gizi diperoleh informasi bahwa status gizi responden berdasarkan penilaian BMI Jika di dikalkulasikan jumlah siswa dengan berat badan tidak normal yaitu sebesar 58,1 %. Peserta yang memiliki penilaian BMI dengan kategori berat badan normal adalah sebanyak 39 orang (41,9%). Oleh sebab itu, diketahui bahwa sebagian besar siswa memiliki BMI yang tidak normal. Secara umum butuh perhatian yang cukup ekstra bagi para orang tua dan guru agar dapat mengawasi anak-anak dalam asupan gizi dan pola makan yang sehat. Agar dapat memperbaiki status gizi anak-anak yang sekarang ini pada masa pertumbuhan
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
No full textWe 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
