    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

    Full text link
    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

    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

    RANCANGAN SIMULASI PERANGKAT LUNAK PERHITUNGAN PEMOTONGAN PPH PASAL 21 ATAS PENGHASILAN TIDAK TETAP KARYAWAN

    Pajak merupakan sumber utama pembiayaan Negara, tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa sebagian besar sumber pembiayaan Negara berasal dari sektor pajak. Penerimaan dari sektor pajak sangat mendukung terlaksananya pembangunan diberbagai sektor sebagai wujud pelayanan pemerintah kepada masyarakat. Pajak penghasilan (PPh) pasal 21 merupakan salah satu jenis pajak yang dikenakan atas penghasilan gaji atau suatu jasa dan kegiatan yang dilakukan pada perusahaan/instansi/institusi. Dan dikarenakan adanya perhitungan yang tidak baik dan kurang akurat maka dibutuhkan suatu aplikasi yang dapat mempermudah pekerjaan tersebut untuk lebih mudah dan cepat. Perancangan dan pengembangan perangkat lunak yang sederhana dalam menghitung secara otomatis pemotongan PPh pasal 21 atas penghasilan tidak tetap pada karyawan yang ada pada perusahaan/instansi/institusi dapat membantu mempercepat serta mempermudah proses perhitungan

    Hubungan Kadar Serum Bilirubin Total dengan HbA1C pada Pasien DM Tipe 2 Terkendali dan Tidak Terkendali

    Background: HbAlc levels were higher in patients with diabetes is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Bilirubin is expected to act as an endogenous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Increased serum bilirubin was associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Objective: To determine correlation of serum total bilirubin and HbAlc in controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional observational analytic approach performed in RSUP.H.Adam Malik in February - March 2015. A sum of 50 samples were divided into 2 groups: Samples with controlled DM (HbAlc <7) and uncontrolled DM (HbAlc ?:_7) amounted to 25 people each. All samples were examined serum total bilirubin. Using statistical test unpaired student t test when distribution is normal, and if the distribution is not normal, we use Mann Whitney test with a significance p value <0.05 Results: In this study we obtained serum levels of serum total bilirubin in patients with HbAlc < 7 and HbAlc ?:_ 7 each 0.704 ± 0.299 and 0.560 ± 0.138. Although there are differences, but we found no correlation between total bilirubin serum levels and HbA 1 c in both groups (HbAlc <7, r = 0.119, p = 0.580 and HbAlc ?:_ 7, r = 0.234, p = 0.261) Conclusions: There was no correlation between serum total bilirubin and HbA le in both groups80 HalamanTesis Magiste
