    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    PERBANDINGAN HUKUM PENGATURAN STANDARDISASI MENURUT AGREEMENT TBT DAN UNDANG-UNDANG NO. 7 TAHUN 2014 TENTANG PERDAGANGAN

    Full text link
    Abstract Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade has been agreed as part of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade /GATT and implemented by the WTO member states. In Indonesia, Act No.7/2014 About Trade adopted the system, such as standardization, technical regulations and conformity assessment. This research aims to get the enforcement of standardization according to Act No.7/2014 as compared with the provisions of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade and to obtain the impact of standardization in reducing technical barriers to trade. The research is a normative legal research using comparative approach. The degree of object comparison is discussed using economic analysis of law. The result shows that economic analysis assumes rational behavior of the State to achieve maximum prosperity through multilateral trade agreements. Multilateral agreements are an efficient choice because it produces a universal agreement. Thus, the allocation of norms of standardization in Act No.7/2014 About Trade is assumed to sync with the Agreement on Technical Barrier to Trade, but there is a difference in controlling the equilibrium of treatment. Standardization is still considered to become potential for technical barriers of trade. The essence of this obstacle accounts as internal measures.   Abstrak Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade disepakati sebagai bagian dari perjanjian General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) dan dilaksanakan oleh negara –negara anggota WTO. Di Indonesia, Undang-undang No.7 Tahun 2014 tentang Perdagangan mengatur norma yang diadopsi dari Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, yaitu standardisasi, regulasi teknis dan penilaian kesesuaian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan hasil pemberlakuan standardisasi menurut Undang-undang No.7 Tahun 2014 tentang Perdagangan yang dibandingkan dengan Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade dan untuk mendapatkan dampak standardisasi dalam mengurangi hambatan teknis perdagangan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan pendekatan perbandingan hukum. Derajat perbandingan objek penelitian dibahas menggunakan analisis ekonomi terhadap hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa analisis ekonomi mengasumsikan perilaku rasional Negara untuk mencapai kemakmuran yang sebesar-besarnya melalui perjanjian dagang multilateral. Perjanjian multilateral merupakan pilihan sikap yang efisien karena menghasilkan perjanjian yang universal. Dengan demikian, alokasi norma standardisasi dalam Undang-undang No.7 Tahun 2014 tentang Perdagangan sinkron dengan Agreement on Technical Barrier to Trade. Standardisasi bekerja sebagai instrumen hukum dalam pasar bebas melalui perlindungan lingkungan, keselamatan konsumen, kemanan dan kesehatan publik. Instrumen standardisasi membantu konsumen membandingkan karakteristik produksi dan menambah preferensi bagi konsumen untuk produk sejenis

    Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 2014 Tentang Perindustrian mengatur tata industri nasional menjadi lebih peduli terhadap lingkungan dengan mengusung paradigma pembangunan berkelanjutan. Norma pembangunan berkelanjutan diatur lebih lanjut melalui mekanisme Standardisasi Perindustrian. Sebagai konsekuensi Indonesia menjadi anggota WTO, regulasi standardisasi industri telah diperbarui dengan cara mengintegrasi ketentuan standardisasi dalam perjanjian Agreement on Technical Barrier to Trade. Penulisan artikel ini bertujuan mengetahui perbandingan kaidah standardisasi yang diatur Agreement on Technical Barrier to Trade dan UU Perindustrian serta hubungannya dengan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Hasil yang didapat adalah kaidah dari kedua sumber hukum tersebut identik dan terhubung sebagai instrumen pengaturan yang efektif dalam pembangunan industri dengan tetap menjamin aspek keamanan, keselamatan dan kesehatan manusia serta kelestarian fungsi lingkungan hidup

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    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
