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
OPTIMALISASI POLA ASUH MELALUI PkM PADA ORANG TUA DI SLB PEMBINA KOTA PALEMBANG
Full text linkAbstrak: Pendekatan emosional dan pola asuh orangtua dalam pengabdian masyarakat dapat menjadi salah satu strategi peningkatan pemahaman bagi orangtua yang memiliki anak berkebutuhan khusus. Program PkM ini bertujuan untuk optimalisasi pendekatan emosional dan pola asuh orangtua yang mempunyai anak luar biasa sehingga mampu membuat orang tua memahami anak-anak yang berkebutuhan khusus dan lebih mampu untuk mengontrol emosi pada saat anak tersebut sedang/ tidak dalam kondisi yang baik. Dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini, terdiri dari tiga tahapan yaitu berupa perencanaan, pelaksanaan, serta pasca pelaksanaan. Terdapat 80 responden dalam kegiatan ini yang meliputi orangtua/ wali dari siswa SLB. Lokasi pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan di SLB B Kota Palembang. Dalam pengumpulan data, peneliti menyebarkan angket tentang optimalisasi pola asuh orangtua siswa yang diberikan sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan pengabdian. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan soft-skill pada orangtua/wali siswa SLB dengan persentase pretest 40% ke posttest 80%. Artinya, orangtua siswa yang memiliki anak berkebutuhan khusus masih perlu mendapatkan sosialisasi dan pemberian pemahaman sehingga dapat berdampak positif pada optimalnya perkembangan anak di dalam keluarga dan menjadikan anak tidak merasa terasingkan dengan kekurangan yang ada pada dirinya.Abstract: The emotional approach and parenting patterns in community service can be one of the strategies to enhance the understanding of parents with special needs children. This Community Service Program (PkM) aims to optimize the emotional approach and parenting patterns of parents with extraordinary children, enabling them to comprehend the unique needs of their children and better control their emotions when their children are not in good condition. The community service implementation comprises three stages: planning, execution, and post-implementation. There were 80 respondents in this activity, including parents/guardians of students in Special Education (SLB). The community service took place at SLB B in Palembang City. In data collection, the researchers distributed questionnaires on optimizing parenting patterns to parents before and after the community service activities. The results of this community service activity indicate an improvement in soft skills among parents/guardians of SLB students, with a percentage increase from 40% in the pretest to 80% in the posttest. This implies that parents of special needs children still need socialization and understanding to positively impact the optimal development of their children within the family, making the children feel integrated and not isolated due to their unique challenges

MENINGKATKAN MINAT SISWA SMK UNTUK MELANJUTKAN STUDI KE PERGURUAN TINGGI
Full text linkSalah satu masalah yang terjadi di sekolah menengah kejuruan adalah banyak siswa menganggap melanjutkan pendidikan tinggi bukan hal penting. Faktor penyebabnya adalah siswa berasal dari keluarga dengan tingkat ekonomi rendah, kurikulum yang berbeda sehingga sulit untuk menyesuaikan diri ataupun sudah tidak mempunyai minat untuk belajar. Agar dapat mengatasi masalah tersebut maka diadakan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan tujuan untuk membuka dan menambah wawasan para siswa SMK dengan memberikan seminar dan motivasi belajar yang diikuti oleh siswa SMK kelas XII. Metode yang digunakan adalah memberikan ceramah motivasi belajar, tanya jawab kepada siswa SMK, dan pemberian angket. Hasil yang diperoleh yaitu meningkatnya minat siswa untuk melanjutkan pendidikan ke perguruan tinggi, dilihat dari hasil pre test skor rata-rata sebesar 55 menjadi skor rata-rata post test 80. Seluruh peserta (100%) ikut berpartisipasi secara aktif dan memberikan tanggapan secata positif saat kegiatan berlangsung. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat diharapkan terus dilanjutkan di masa yang akan datang agar pendidikan terus menghasilkan sumber daya manusia yang luar biasa.
