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

No full textDinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Tata Ruang (PUPR) Kota Banda Aceh masih menangani dokumen kepegawaian secara manual menggunakan bundel arsip. Hal ini menimbulkan sejumlah masalah, termasuk kemungkinan hilangnya dokumen penting seperti biodata dan surat keputusan (SK) pegawai, tumpukan berkas, dan kesulitan pencarian. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, tujuan proyek ini adalah mengembangkan dan membangun E-Bundel Staffing, sebuah sistem informasi kepegawaian berbasis web yang mendukung administrasi data yang terorganisir, cepat, dan aman melalui penggunaan kerangka kerja PHP CodeIgniter dan basis data MySQL. Metodologi penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dan menggabungkan pendekatan sistem pengembangan dengan tinjauan pustaka, analisis kebutuhan, perancangan data dasar Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), implementasi aplikasi, dan pengujian perangkat lunak kotak hitam. Dengan hak akses yang bervariasi untuk staf, manajemen, dan kepala departemen, temuan penelitian ini menghasilkan sebuah aplikasi yang dapat merekam biodata pegawai, data SK, dan riwayat pendidikan secara digital. Aplikasi ini terbukti mampu meningkatkan efisiensi administrasi kearsipan di Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat (PUPR) Kota Banda Aceh, mempercepat penelusuran data, dan mengurangi kemungkinan kehilangan dokumen. Lebih lanjut, program ini memfasilitasi digitalisasi administrasi pemerintahan daerah dengan menawarkan akses informasi yang mudah, real-time, dan adaptif kepada pengguna kapan pun dan dari mana pun, sesuai kebutuhan mereka. Pendekatan ini meningkatkan kinerja organisasi secara keseluruhan dengan menjadikan proses manajemen kepegawaian lebih akuntabel, transparan, dan efektif. Selain itu, dengan memperkenalkan penerapan teknologi informasi di sektor publik, penelitian ini membantu menyiapkan landasan bagi instansi pemerintah lain untuk membangun sistem informasi kepegawaian. Dengan demikian, temuan penelitian ini memiliki nilai akademis sebagai referensi di bidang informatika, khususnya terkait penerapan sistem informasi berbasis web untuk mendukung tata kelola administrasi kepegawaian yang kontemporer dan berkelanjutan, serta memberikan manfaat praktis bagi Dinas PUPR Kota Banda Aceh.Abstract
Banda Aceh City's Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Department still handles personnel documents by hand using archive bundles. This presents a number of problems, including the possibility of losing crucial documents like employee biodata and decrees (SK), file accumulation, and search difficulties. In order to address these issues, the goal of this project is to develop and construct E-Bundel Staffing, a web-based personnel information system that supports organized, quick, and secure data administration through the use of the PHP CodeIgniter framework and MySQL database. The research methodology is qualitative and combines a system development approach with a literature review, needs analysis, Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) database design, application implementation, and black-box software testing. With varying access rights for staff, management, and department heads, the study's findings result in an application that may digitally record employee biodata, decree data, and educational histories. It has been demonstrated that this application increases the efficiency of archive administration at the Public Works and Housing Agency (PUPR) of Banda Aceh City, speeds up data retrieval, and reduces the possibility of document loss. Furthermore, This program facilitates the digitalization of local government administration by offering users convenient, real-time, and adaptable access to information at any time and from any location, depending on their needs. This approach improves the overall performance of the organization by making the personnel management process more accountable, transparent, and effective. Additionally, by introducing information technology applications in the public sector, this research helps to set the stage for other government agencies to establish personnel information systems. As a result, the findings of this study have academic value as a reference in the field of informatics, especially with regard to the deployment of web-based information systems to support contemporary and sustainable personnel administration governance, in addition to offering the PUPR Agency of Banda Aceh City practical advantages
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
