Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Peranan Media Sosial dan Teknologi Informasi Dalam Memajukan Pembangunan Daerah
Get PDFThe use of social media today is very large and has an impact on the social life of the wider community in line with the development of Information Technology. The existence of social media can certainly reduce human limitations in interacting and communicating with each other. One of the positive things about the use of social media is in conveying information quickly to the wider community, especially in advancing development in the region. The devotional activities are carried out in the form of socialization or delivering short materials followed by discussions where this activity aims to provide insights on the use of social media that is good and correct to provide benefits for its users. Participants in this activity are members of the community who are members of the Asahan Development Role Institute (LEPPAS). The result of this devotion activity is in the form of material understanding for the participants of activities that will be able to implement the role of social media in advancing regional development, especially in Asahan Regency
MOORA: Metode Sistem Pendukung Keputusan untuk Menentukan Kelayakan Peminjaman Modal Dana Bergulir
Get PDFKoperasi Doni Jaya is one of the savings and loan cooperatives that provides solutions in assisting the provision and for various needs in a fast and easy loan process. However, the loan process takes a long time and must also determine the customer who is eligible to be given the capital loan. The model used to build this system is waterfall with stages of analysis, design, build & testing, and implementation. This research was carried out at the Koperasi Doni Jaya at the Asahan District Education Office. The Analysis phase is carried out to obtain the needs of the system that we developed with the MOORA method. The design phase is carried out to determine the interface design, and flowcharts on this system. Furthermore, the coding and testing stages are carried out to create a system and test using blackbox. Our findings are in the form of a decision support system to determine the feasibility of revolving fund capital lending. The test results show that this system is already running well, and is in accordance with the design, as well as the model applied. With this system, it can help this cooperatives determining eligible and uneligible customers to be given revolving fund capital loans
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Penerapan Metode Weighted Moving Average pada Sistem Peramalan Stok Bahan Laundry
Get PDFInformation systems are created in stores so that they can easily make data processing well, and can make predictions or forecasts about stocks that will be prepared in future periods. The purpose of this study is to create and produce a stock forecasting system for laundry materials by applying the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) method. This research is a type of development using a waterfall model by conducting stages of needs analysis, design, implementation and testing. The Analysis phase is carried out to identify the needs used to be applied to this forecasting system. The design stages consist of interface design, flowcharts, use cases and entity relationship diagrams. Implementation and testing are carried out directly using black box testing to see the extent of the functionality of the system that has been created. Our findings show that the system we developed is in the form of a web-based laundry material stock forecasting system. This system is also successful in testing using black box testing, all system components are functioning properly. This system is also calculated accordingly, where the results of the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) in detergent stocks get a percentage of 10%, or an accuracy rate of 90%. Meanwhile, the fragrance stock obtained a MAPE yield of 7%, with an accuracy rate of 93%
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
