    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    123 HalamanThe Law Number 16 of 1992 on the Quarantine of Animals, Fish, and Plants is legislation that gives legal certainty to prevent the entry and spread of pests and animal diseases, pests and diseases of fish, as well as plant pests. Sanctions against violations of the provision of the Law includes criminal and action sanctions. So far is considered ineffective, because it has not categorized clearly the distribution of action and criminal sanctions. The problems in this study are to analysis how the formulation of criminal sanctions in Law Number 16 of 1992; how the application of criminal sanctions in Law Number 16 of 1992, and; how the policy of criminal sanctions in quarantine laws in the future? This study is a qualitative study with normative juridical approach. The result showed that Law Number 16 of 1992 has a complete formulation of criminal sanctions, but the legal norms in the criminal provision are not clear subject so it can be difficult for law enforcement. Although not explicit, the application of criminal sanctions against Law Number 16 of 1992 implementing the principle of ultimum remedium. The prospect of future policy on the formulation of criminal sanctions for quarantine laws can be done through reforming and refining the criminalization policy by clearly categorizing the scope of actions that can be categorized as criminal acts of administration, in criminal liability the subject of a criminal offense is described clearly and doesn’t separate the form of errors. It is expected soon revision of Law Number 16 of 1992 to provide legal certainty. Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 1992 tentang Karantina Hewan, Ikan dan Tumbuhan merupakan peraturan perundangan yang memberikan kepastian hukum dalam mencegah masuk ke dalam, tersebar di dalam serta keluarnya hama dan penyakit hewan karantina, hama dan penyakit ikan karantina, dan organisme pengganggu tumbuhan karantina. Undang-undang ini merupakan hukum administrasi dengan sanksi pidana. Penerapan sanksi terhadap pelanggaran ketentuan Undang-undang Nomor 16 Tahun 1992 meliputi sanksi tindakan dan sanksi pidana. Penerapan sanksi belum optimal karena belum mengkategorikan dengan jelas pembagian sanksi tindakan dan sanksi pidana. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana formulasi sanksi pidana dalam UU Nomor 16 Tahun 1992; bagaimana penerapan sanksi pidana dalam UU Nomor 16 Tahun 1992 dan; bagaimana kebijakan sanksi pidana dalam UU perkarantinaan di masa yang akan datang? Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa UU Nomor 16 Tahun 1992 memiliki formulasi sanksi pidana yang lengkap, namun belum menyebutkan korporasi sebagai subjek tindak pidana. Penerapan sanksi pidana terhadap UU Nomor 16 Tahun 1992 menerapkan asas ultimum remidium, meskipun tidak tersurat di dalam perundangannya. Prospek kebijakan formulasi sanksi pidana undang-undang perkarantinaan di masa yang akan datang dapat dilakukan melalui pembenahan dan penyempurnaan kebijakan kriminalisasinya dengan mengkategorikan secara jelas ruang lingkup perbuatan yang dapat dikategorikan sebagai tindak pidana administrasi, subjek tindak pidana dalam pertanggungjawaban pidana dijabarkan dengan lengkap serta tidak memisahkan bentuk kesalahan. Diharapkan segera dilakukan revisi terhadap UU Nomor 16 Tahun 1992 untuk dapat memberikan kepastian hukum
