    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

    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

    Alat penangkap ikan yang banyak digunakan oleh Nelayan di Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai (PPP) TasikAgung, Kabupaten Rembang adalah mini purse seine dan cantrang. Usaha penangkapan denganmenggunakan alat tangkap tersebut memberikan dampak positif terhadap kesejahteraan nelayan lokal.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keragaan alat tangkap purse seine dan cantrang di PPPTasik Agung, Kabupaten Rembang berdasarkan spesifikasi, daerah penangkapan dan musim penangkapan.Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui metode survei. Pemilihan nelayan sebagai contoh dilakukan secaraaksidensial (accidential sampling) kepada responden yang dipandang orang tersebut layak diterimasebagai sumber data/informasi. Pengolahan dan analisis datanya dikerjakan dengan menggunakan analisisdeskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan spesifikasi alat tangkap mini purse seine yang biasadigunakan oleh nelayan dengan armada penangkapan kapal motor dengan ukuran 11-20 GT umumnyamemiliki panjang dari ujung sayap kiri sampai ujung sayap kanan sekitar 250 m, sedangkan untuk kapaldengan ukuran 20-30 GT menggunakan alat tangkap mini purse seine dengan panjang 360 m. Jaringcantrang mempunyai bagian-bagian berbeda, dimana setiap bagian memiliki ukuran benang, ukuran mata,jumlah mata jaring, serta ukuran dan panjang tali. Operasi penangkapan ikan di Perairan Laut Jawa sampaiperairan Pulau Bawean (12 mil ke arah barat dan utara dari pantai Bawean dan Karimun Jawa) hinggaperairan Kalimantan. Puncak alat tangkap cantrang dan mini purse seine berbeda.Kata Kunci: Mini purse seine, Cantrang, Musim penangkapan, PPP Tasik AgungThe fishing gear that is mostly used by fishermen at the Coastal Fishery Port (PPP) Tasik Agung, RembangRegency are mini purse seines and cantrangs. The fishing effort using fishing gear has a positive impact on the welfare of local fishermen. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of purse seine and cantrang fishing gear at PPP Tasik Agung, Rembang Regency based on specifications, fishing area and fishing season. Data collection was carried out through a survey method. The selection of fishermen as examples is carried out by accidental sampling to respondents who are deemed worthy of being accepted as sources of data/information. Processing and data analysis is done by using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the specifications of the mini purse seine fishing gear which are commonly used by fishermen with a fishing fleet of motor boats with a size of 11-20 GT generally have a length from the tip of the left wing to the tip of the right wing of about 250 m, while for ships with a size of 20-30 GT using mini purse seine fishing gear with a length of 360 m. Cantrang nets have different sections, where each section has a thread size, eye size, number of meshes, and rope size and length. Fishing operations in the waters of the Java Sea to the waters of Bawean Island (12 miles to the west and north from the coast of Bawean and Karimun Jawa) to the waters of Kalimantan. The peaks of the cantrang and mini purse seine fishing gear are different
