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
Analisis tipologi dan pendekatan perancangan masjid moden di dunia
No full textKertas kerja ini akan berusaha melakukan dokumentasi, mengklasifikasikan dan menjelaskan pelbagai pendekatan dan kaedah perancangan yang digunakan pada perancangan masjid moden di serata dunia. Kajian dijalankan dengan melakukan analisa kandungan atau kajian pustaka dan literatur terhadap pelbagai pendekatan perancangan masjid moden tersebut. Pembahasan kertas kerja ini akan terdiri dari pendekatan revivalisme, pendekatan metafor, pendekatan geometri, pendekatan strukturalisme dan pendekatan regionalisme. Masjid yang dijadikan objek kajian sendiri terdiri daripada masjid yang dibangunkan di antara tahun 1950 hingga tahun 2000-an. Walaupun mungkin dirasa tidak mencakupi banyak masjid namun diharapkan kajian ini dapat memulakan sebuah kajian yang lebih mendalam dan lengkap bagi mengklasifikasikan dan mengelompokkan pelbagai masjid moden tersebut berdasarkan karakter dan pendekatan yang dimiliki di masa depan
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
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
Isu dan kepentingan dokumentasi serta klasifikasi dalam kajian, pendekatan dan interpretasi terhadap seni bina Islam moden di Nusantara
No full textTujuan utama dari penulisan kertas kerja ini adalah untuk menjelaskan tentang kepentingan proses dokumentasi dan klasifikasi yang memberikan implikasi terhadap interpretasi dalam Seni Bina Islam Moden di Nusantara. Kajian ini sangat penting dalam usaha menentukan halatuju kajian terhadap Seni Bina Islam di Nusantara terhadap beberapa kajian sejenis yang telah dijalankan sebelum ini. Pembahasan ini juga penting bagi memahami dan menjelaskan permasalahan yang terjadi akibat kekurangan dokumentasi dan penelitian yang mendalam terhadap aspek nilai dan pemikiran dari Seni Bina Islam di Nusantara. Pembahasannya akan terbahagi kepada dua bahagian utama. Bahagian yang pertama akan membicarakan tentang kepentingan dokumentasi dan klasifikasi terhadap aspek pemikiran, idea-idea dan teori Seni Bina Islam manakala bahagian yang kedua akan membicarakan tentang isu dan masalah yang seringkali menjadi asas dalam proses dokumentasi dan klasifikasi dalam Seni Bina Islam Moden di Nusantara. Melalui kajian ini didapati bahawa satu kepentingan yang harus dilakukan terhadap proses dokumentasi dan klasifikasi bagi pembentukan kerangka teori dan falsafah Seni Bina Islam di Nusantara. Kajian ini juga mendapati beberapa isu dan masalah yang lahir daripada kekurangan dokumentasi dan klasifikasi teori dan falsafah seni Bina Islam di atas. Diharapkan kajian ini akan dapat memulakan sebuah sebuah dokumentasi dan analisis yang lebih lengkap dan menyeluruh terhadap Seni Bina Islam Moden di Nusantara secara umum dan Malaysia secara khusus
Kajian tentang idea dan falsafah seni bina organik Frank Lloyd Wright
No full textFrank Lloyd Wright merupakan salah seorang arkitek terbesar yang pernah hidup. Selain
menghasilkan banyak reka bentuk bangunan, beliau juga menghasilkan berbagai pemikiran
penting yang banyak mempengaruhi perkembangan teori dan falsafah seni bina di dunia
terutamanya di Amerika Syarikat. Kertas kerja ini akan berusaha menjelaskan beberapa pemikiran
beliau, tidak hanya dalam dunia seni bina namun dalam kehidupan sebagai seorang manusia.
Kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan sebuah pemahaman tentang bagaimana teori dan falsafah dalam seni bina terbentuk dari sebuah pemahaman ideal dan moral tentang suatu aspek
kehidupan menjadi asas dan mengambil peranan dalam pembentukkan kerangka pemikiran dalam
masyarakat khususnya masyarakat seni bina
