    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

    This paper tries to explore the contribution and experience as a librarian to conduct research in various countries with different themes. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability and professionalism of librarians as research partners in helping researchers conduct research. The methodology used in this research is descriptive analysis which takes two locations (countries) where the research is Japan and the Netherlands. The Sources of data used as population and object of research are the results of interviews, observations and sources of references from the results of searching for library information used by researchers. The results of this study are to provide an overview of the ability of librarians to search for information to know and find sources of information in various media both books, scientific journals, and other online media that support lecturer research as research partners who are needed. The practice of collaborating with librarians in certain fields will demonstrate the competence and role of librarians who are very strategic in the success of a research program. Equally important is the recognition of research partners and the contribution of librarians to a study. Research collaboration between lecturers and librarians as research partners will increase the number of research publications in journals of national and international repute and good communication between lecturers and librarians

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    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

    Peran Dan Kontribusi Pustakawan Sebagai Mitra Riset (Pengalaman Kolaborasi Riset di KITLV Belanda dan Jepang)

    Pustakawan perguruan tinggi atau Pustakawan akademis yang diundang untuk memilih jati diri dan kontribusinya kepada lembaga asal mereka. Kolaborasi penelitian dengan dosen yang menghasilkan co-authorhip dari keluaran ilmiah adalah salah satu cara yang mungkin untuk menunjukkan keselarasan perpustakaan dengan misi kelembagaan. Mendukung pustakawan dalam penelitian juga meningkatkan keterampilan pustakawan dalam menawarkan layanan dukungan penelitian. Tulisan ini mencoba membahas kontribusi dan pengalaman pustakawan melakukan penelitian di berbagi negara dengan tema yang berbeda-beda. Dalam hal penelitian bersama, pustakawan dalam hal ini tidak hanya terlibat sebagai pendamping saja, akan tetapi ikut serta terlibat dalam penelitian, khusunya dalam pencarian sumber-sumber informasi yang dibutuhkan oleh peneliti. Peran pustakawan dalam mencari sumber informasi di berbagai media baik buku, jurnal ilmiah, dan media online lainnya yang mendukung penelitian sangat dibutuhkan. Praktik kolaborasi pustakawan dengan para peneliti di bidang tertentu akan menunjukkan kompetensi dan peran pustakawan yang sangat strategis dalam keberhasilan sebuah program penelitian. Hal yang tidak kalah penting adalah adanya pengakuan pustakawan sebagai mitra penelitian dan pengakuan keberadaan pustakawan dalam sebuah penelitia

    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
