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
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
FAKTOR- FAKTOR YANG BERPENGARUH PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT TANI TERNAK DALAM MASA REFORMASI
Get PDFPenelitian mengenai Faktor-faktor yang Berpengaruh Terhadap Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Tani Ternak dalam Masa Reformasi ini dilakukan di Desa Cidatar Kecamatan Cisurupan Kabupaten Garut. Maksud dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui respon petani-peternak sapi perah terhadap setiap program pembangunan yang diintrogasikan ke pedesaan dalam masa reformasi, peran aparat (pelaksana program), serta faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh (pendorong dan penghambat) terhadap pemberdayaan masyarakat tani-ternak di pedesaan pada masa reformasi. Penelitian ini bersifat studi kasus dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah petani-peternak sapi perah anggota KUD Cisurupan sebanyak 25 orang, ditambah 5 orang informan. Pengumpulan data primer dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dan diskusi kelompok. Model analisis data yang digunakan adalah model analisis interaktif. Data sekunder diambil dari Kantor Desa Cidatar, KUD Cisurupan dan Laporan PPL-KCD Peternakan. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa faktorfaktor yang berpengaruh terhadap pemberdayaan petani holtikultura dan peternak sapi perah, untuk faktor pendukungnya berupa suhu lingkungan yang cocok untuk usaha tersebut (daerah dingin: 130C-220C), adanya KUD yang menyalurkan sarana produksi pertanian-peternakan serta menerima hasil produksinya terutama susu dan pengalaman bertani-beternak yang cukup lama (3-20 tahun). Faktor penghambat berasal dari faktor fisik/struktur pemilikan lahan yang sempit, rata-rata kurang dari 0,5 ha, faktor ekonomi dan institusional berupa kebijakan harga yang tidak berfihak kepada mereka baik dari pemerintah maupun harga susu dari KUD yang lebih rendah, Rp. 100/liter dibanding KUD lain yang terdekat dengan KUD Cisurupan dengan kualitas yang sama, serta faktor sosial/kultural berupa sikap dan mentalitas petani-peternak yang lebih berorientasi pada masa kini serta pengurus KUD yang belum melakukan transparansi penuh dalam penentuan kebijakannya. Kata kunci : Pemberdayaan masyarakat tani ternak, faktor fisik, kultural dan institusional
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
The effect of the level of faeces quails in the ration on final body weight, carcass, ration efficiency and internal organs of broiler chickens
No full textQuails faeces contains good enough protein also energy and potential to be used as an alternative animal feed ingredient to reduce of production cost. Utilization of quail faeces in broiler ration can be directly given in the form of flour or fermented but however it has a limited to used. This study was aimed to determine the level of quail faeces in the ration that still produce good final body weight, carcass, ration efficiency and internal organs of broiler chickens. The study used 100 DOC of broilers that were divided into 20 units of cages, so each unit of cage consisted of 5 chickens. The study used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments that were one ration without quails faeces (R0) and three rations containing quails faeces ie R1 (7.5%), R2 (15%) and R3 (22.5%). The parameters measured were final body weight, ration efficiency, carcass and internal organs of broiler chickens. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance and the difference among treatments was analyzed by Duncan Test. The result of the research show that the rations containing quails faeces 15% still produce good final body weight, ration efficiency, carcass and internal organs of broiler chickens
