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
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
TA : Pengembangan Sistem Informasi Praktek Dokter yang dapat Dikustomisasi Dengan Menggunakan Teknologi VBA
Full text linkPada dasarnya sistem informasi praktek dokter terdiri dari beberapa modul, anatara lain: antrian pasien, laporan histori perawatan medis pasien, dan pembayaran. Namun pada kenyataannya keberadaan modul-modul dasar ini akan dapat berkembang dan bervariasi berdasarkan manajeman praktek dokter yang bersangkutan. Hal ini menyebabkan banyaknya perubahan pada sistem yang telah berjalan.
Perkembangan teknologi Visual Basic for Application (VBA), dapat dijadikan sebagai ekstensi informasi praktek dokter. VBA didisain agar aplikasi dapat dikustomisasi dengan cara mengubah cara kerja dan tampilan aplikasi, atau bahkan menambahkan fitur-fitur yang benar-benar baru sesuai dengan kebutuhan.
Berdasarkan hasil uji coba, dapat diketahui bahwa dengan menggunakan teknologi Visual Basic for Application (VBA), sistem mampu memberikan aplikasi yang sesuai dengan yang diharapkan, baik pada proses kustomisasi maupun pada proses pengolahan data
Pengaruh Jarak dan Panjang Kolom dengan Diameter 4cm pada Stabilisasi Tanah Lempung Ekspansif menggunakan Metode Dsm Berpola Single Square terhadap Daya Dukung Tanah
Full text linkTanah merupakan media utama dalam pembangunan konstruksi bangunan gedung maupun konstruksi jalan.Kondisi tanah di lapangan sangat mempengaruhi jenis pondasi yang digunakan oleh konstruksi di atasnya.Untuk itu mempelajari kondisi tanah yang ada sangat diperlukan, khususnya bagi seorang insinyur Teknik Sipil.Kebanyakan masalah dalam bidang keteknikan adalah tanah lempung yang merupakan tanah kohesif seperti pada tanah ekspansif.Tanah ekspansif merupakan jenis tanah yang berbahaya apabila didirikan struktur bangunan di atasnya.Tanah ekspansif memiliki sifat tanah yang kurang baik seperti plastisitas yang tinggi, kekuatan geser yang rendah, kemampatan atau perubahan volume yang tinggi, dan potensi kembang susut yang besar.Berdasarkan penelitian pendahuluan, tanah ekspansif terdeteksi di wilayah Desa Ngasem, Kecamatan Ngasem, Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan perbaikan tanah lempung ekspansif dengan menggunakan metode deep soil mixing berpola single squaredengan diameter kolom 4 cm yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan nilai daya dukung.Metode deep soil mixing merupakan metode pencampuran dengan bahan aditif pada tanah untuk meningkatkan stabilitas tanah.Jenis aditif yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah fly ash hal ini dikarenakan penambahan fly ash pada tanah ekspansif mampu meningkatkan daya dukung tanah.Pada penelitian ini digunakan 9 variasi jarak dan kedalaman kolom berupa variasi jarak antar kolom (4, 5, 6 cm) dan variasi kedalaman kolom (5, 10, 15 cm). Hasil dari stabilisasi tanah lempung ekspansif menggunakan metode deep soil mixing berpola single square dengan diameter kolom 4 cm menunjukkan peningkatan nilai daya dukung hingga 289,7% dari daya dukung tanah asli. Stabilisasi dengan bahan aditif 15% fly ash pada metode DSM berpola single square dapat mengurangi nilai pengembangan (swelling) seiring dengan meningkatkan volume tanah yang distabilisasi. Prosentase tanah sebesar 26,18% telah mampu menghentikan pengembangan (swelling) tanah asli
