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
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
Karakteristik Fisik, Kimia, dan Daya Terima Kerupuk Karak dengan Penambahan Tepung Beras dan Tepung Tapioka serta Perbedaan Metode Pemasakan
Full text linkThe innovation of making karak crackers can be done by using the one-time cooking method and adding flour as a thickener. This method is more efficient than the usual two-times cooking method. And replace the use of bleng because it can affect the health of the body. The flour used is rice flour and tapioca flour. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of the ratio of rice flour and tapioca flour addition and the method of making karak crackers on chemical, physical, and sensory properties. A two-factor completely randomized design was used to study the effect of the ratio of rice flour to tapioca flour (0:1; 1:1; 1:2; and 1:0) and the cooking method factor (two-time and one-time cooking method). Karak crackers were tested for chemical characteristics (moisture content and amylose content), physical characteristics (texture hardness, development volume, and brightness), and panelist’s acceptability. The results showed that the ratio of rice flour and tapioca flour in Karak crackers significantly affected amylose content, moisture content, texture hardness, and development volume). Meanwhile, the cooking method significantly influenced moisture content, development volume, and brightness. Panelist acceptability also showed that samples with rice flour and tapioca flour in the ratio of 0:1 and 1:1 in the factor of two-time cooking and samples with a ratio of 1:0 in the factor of one-time cooking were the optimal samples. This was because these samples’ acceptability was not significantly different from the comparison sample.Inovasi pembuatan kerupuk karak dapat dilakukan dengan metode satu kali pemasakan dan penambahan tepung sebagai pengental. Metode ini lebih efisien dibanding metode dua kali pemasakan pada umumnya. Serta mengganti penggunaan bleng karena dapat berpengaruh bagi kesehatan tubuh. Tepung yang digunakan yaitu tepung beras dan tepung tapioka. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk mengkaji pengaruh perbandingan penambahan tepung beras dan tepung tapioka serta metode pembuatan kerupuk karak terhadap sifat kimia, fisik, dan sensoris. Rancangan acak lengkap dua faktor adalah rancangan yang digunakan untuk mengkaji pengaruh faktor perbandingan penambahan tepung beras dan tepung tapioka (0:1; 1:1; 1:2; dan 1:0) dan faktor metode pembuatan (metode dua kali pemasakan dan metode satu kali pemasakan). Kerupuk karak diuji karakteristik kimia (kadar air dan kadar amilosa), karakteristik fisik (tekstur kekerasan, volume pengembangan, dan tingkat kecerahan), dan daya terima panelis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor perbandingan penambahan tepung beras dan tepung tapioka kerupuk karak berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar amilosa, kadar air, kekerasan dan volume pengembangan. Sementara itu, faktor metode pemasakan kerupuk karak berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar air, volume pengembangan dan tingkat kecerahan. Daya terima panelis juga menunjukkan sampel dengan penambahan tepung beras dan tepung tapioka perbandingan 0:1 dan 1:1 pada faktor dua kali masak dan sampel dengan perbandingan 1:0 pada faktor satu kali masak merupakan sampel optimal. Hal ini karena daya terima sampel tersebut tidak berbeda nyata dengan sampel pembanding
