Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Usability of Jawara Sains Mobile Learning Application Using System Usability Scale (SUS)
Full text linkThe application of interactive learning multimedia is one of the factors that impact the learning process for achieving learning outcomes. In developing a mobile application, the main principle is usability. This research goal is to presents a usability evaluation of the Jawara Sains, which is a mobile application to learn science subjects. This research used a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire to measure the level of users’ perceived usability. This score can indicate the usability performance of effectiveness, efficiency, and ease of use. Jawara Sains\u27s SUS score achieved 75.45, which indicates a B grade, acceptable, and categorized in the good range. This score can also indicate whether a user is a promoter or not. The analysis showed that the Jawara Sains is categorized into the passive Net Promoter Score (NPS), which means users will not influence other people. Therefore, recommendations are needed for its usability improvements
Penerapan Aplikasi Berbasis Andorid Untuk Meningkatkan Pengendalian Internal dan Penjualan Pada AUM PCM Gedebage
Full text linkMSMEs in Indonesia have become the most important pillar for the economic ecosystem. It is known that 99% of business actors in Indonesia are in the MSME sector. The MSME sector is one of the main pillars of Indonesia\u27s economic fundamentals. In fact, during the 1998 economic crisis, the MSME sector contributed positively in saving the Indonesian economic ecosystem at that time. The same thing happened during the Covid-19 pandemic, the MSME sector has great potential to become an accelerator of national economic recovery, therefore an entrepreneurial model is needed that can adapt to technological advances. The purpose of this research is to determine the internal control in managing the sales of MSME Partners as well as implementing Android-based applications in improving the internal control of the sales of MSME Partners. The stages of this research were carried out by means of a depth interview approach and also collecting data from several subsequent literatures by planning, designing and coding in implementing an Android-based application that can be applied. The results show that Android-based applications can help PCM seafood stalls improve internal control on cash sales transactions, Android-based applications also help retail businesses that are still using the old way of serving customers more effectively and efficiently. This system changes old methods to new ones that can improve business processes where all reports are recorded automatically so that employees can serve customers more efficiently and effectively. The new business process makes customers satisfied because they don\u27t have to wait longer to get the desired product. Business revenue also increases by using the system because new customers can find and buy products online so customers who can\u27t go to shop can buy them from the app and people who don\u27t know about business can find them on the internet and can buy the desired products in the syste
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
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
