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 organizational culture, career development remuneration and job satisfaction on nurse performance in regional general hospital in batam embung fatimah city
Full text linkHospitals are obliged to provide safe, quality, anti-discriminatory, and effective health services by prioritizing the interests of patients in accordance with hospital service standards. For this reason, hospitals are required to provide professional health workers, one of which is a nurse. Conditions in the field there are still many patient complaints about hospital services. To answer this problem, it is necessary to evaluate the performance of nurses in hospitals and see the factors that influence it.
The purpose of this study is to develop a model which states that nurse performance is mediated by job satisfaction which is supported by organizational culture, career development and remuneration which also pays attention to the relationship between career development variables and remuneration. This research was conducted at the Embung Fatimah Regional General Hospital, Batam City using a survey method and involving 200 clinical nurses as respondents. Data were collected using a Likert scale with Construct Reliability (CR) 0.70 and Variance Extrated (VE) 0.50. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL 8.8 and SPSS software.
The research findings for the measurement model reveal that all variables have SFL > 0.50 which indicates that all variables are valid. Likewise for the reliability of consistently measuring all indicators of research variables, it can be concluded that the reliability of the measurement model of all latent variables is good. Furthermore, the findings of the structural model reveal that organizational culture, career development, remuneration and job satisfaction have a direct positive effect on nurse performance. In addition, there was also a positive direct effect of career development and remuneration on job satisfaction, and the dominant direct influence of career development on remuneration (t-value = 12.01 > 1.96), but there was no direct positive effect of organizational culture on job satisfaction ( t-value = 1.47 < .96).
The conclusion of this study, is to improve the performance of nurses at the Embung Fatimah Regional General Hospital, Batam more effectively through improving remuneration management, and implementing career development in accordance with applicable regulations compared to organizational culture.
 
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
The Effect of Supervision, Motivation Andwork Commitment with Employee Performance at Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance Ministry of Religion of The Republic Of Indonesia
Full text linkThe objective of the research is to find out the effect of supervision, motivation, andwork commitment to the employee performance at DirektoratJenderalBimbinganMasyarakat Islam Kementerian Agama Republik Indonesia.Survey was applied in this study which data have been analyzed by path analysis after all variables put into correlation matrix and multiple regression. In this research, the employee have been chosen as a unit analysis and 150 samples selected randomly. The results of the study found that employee performance was directly influenced by supervision, motivation, and work commitment. And indirectly, employee performance is influenced by the supervisory variable and the motivation variable through work commitment, this shows that the commitment variable is not a good mediating variable. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the variation of Supervision, Motivation and Commitment each has an effect on employee performance, but the motivation variable is more dominant in influencing employee performance, for that it is suggested to the leadership element that to improve employee motivation performance becomes a benchmark in the success of organizational performance. .

Education Program Evaluation of Air Force Unit Command School (SEKKAU) In the Development of Human Resources
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to obtain empirical and analytic data on substantive and important issues that affect the implementation of the Air Force Unit Command School’s education program. The study was conducted from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019 at Air Force Unit Command School (Sekkau) in Jakarta. This study used a qualitative approach with the CIPP model to evaluate the results and benefits of implementing education at Sekkau. Respondents in this study were Sekkau’s students who were studying at the time of data gathering, former Sekkau’s student serving in Air Force units, as well as instructors and officers who have authority on policies of applied at Sekkau. The informants in this study were Air Force Chief of Staff (Kasau), Assistant to Chief of Air Force Staff for Personnel (Aspers Kasau), Commander of Air Force Education and Training Command (Dankodiklatau), Head of Air Force Education Service (Kadisdikau), Sekkau Commander, and Sekkau alumni batch 104 of the 2017 academic year. The sampling procedure for this population used multi-stage (clustering). The sample selection for the survey was carried out using a purposive sampling method of 15 respondents distributed proportionally consisting of Kasau, Aspers Kasau, Dankodiklatau, Kadisdikau, Dansekkau, and Sekkau alumni of the batch 104 of the 2017 academic year. The selection of population and respondent samples, especially in modeling, was adjusted to environmental conditions and the number of interviewees to be taken i.e. those who were considered to be able to represent and understand the issues under study.The findings are: (1) the educational program of Sekkau is in accordance with the background or context of the program, which is seen based on aspects of needs, aspects of the problem and aspects of objectives, (2) the available support for education program at Sekkau in general is in a sufficiently supportive condition for the effectiveness of the education and training program for students which is seen based on aspects of human resources, budget, and the curriculum (3) implementation of educational programs were well done based on aspects of timeliness, application of learning methods, evaluation and monitoring, development of human resources, recruitment of teaching staff and staff and services to students, (4) the achieved results of the educational program at Sekkau in general was quite good from the aspect of responsiveness, toughness and vigour. The novelty of this research is that the evaluation of education program of Sekkau was obtained through two design models, namely using the David Stufflebeam CIPP evaluation model and the Four Models Kirkpatrick evaluation model that has never been done before. The results of program evaluation in this study were also obtained through the match between the idealism of evaluation criteria that were built with real conditions in the field that were different from previous studies. These are the novelties resulting from this research
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
