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
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

Kajian Layout Proses Finishing Produksi Kereta Api PT INKA (Persero) Dengan Metode Systematic Layout Planning
No full textPT INKA adalah perusahaan manufaktur sarana transportasi berbasis rel dengan karakteristik job order yang telah mengalami perkembangan signifikan dalam jumlah dan jenis produk yang diproduksi. Peningkatan kapasitas produksi dan peningkatan kualitas terus-menerus dijalankan. Kebijakan investasi diarahkan untuk peremajaan mesin dan penataan kembali fasilitas produksi di pabrik Madiun dan penyiapan pabrik baru di Banyuwangi. Inefisiensi dalam proses produksi masih ditemukan dimana pemborosan berupa waiting, over processing, motion dan transportasion, adalah empat besar pemborosan yang terjadi (Herwindo 2017). Pemborosan waiting, motion, transportation adalah pemborosan yang saling terkait. Pemborosan waiting terjadi karena transportasi dimana jarak antar proses berjauhan, ketidak cukupan ruang sehinggan terjadi bottle neck, motion juga disebabkan oleh banyaknya produk/material yang dipindahkan karena proses yang menyebar. Tata letak pabrik, khususnya pada tahap painting, menjadi kritis karena produk memiliki dimensi besar dan menggunakan moda berbasis rail untuk perpindahan antar stasiun proses. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis data-data perusahaan yang meliputi jenis produk, target kapasitas produksi, alur proses, dukungan layanan, waktu proses, dan jam kerja terkait dengan kebutuhan dan ketersediaan area kerja serta penataan lokasinya. Berdasarkan analisis, beberapa alternatif layout dibuat dan dilakukan pemilihan layout terbaik untuk re-layout proses painting gerbong barang, kereta penumpang, dan kereta berpenggerak. Metode Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Tahapan perencanaan tata letak melibatkan identifikasi produk (P), kuantitas (Q), perutean (R), dukungan layanan (S), dan waktu (T), diikuti dengan pendaftaran area aktivitas, analisis aliran material, serta hubungan lain yang dijelaskan dalam suatu diagram hubungan. Evaluasi kebutuhan ruang, pembuatan diagram hubungan spasial, dan analisis kendala serta keterbatasan sebagai pertimbangan pembuatan alternatif layout yang kemudian dievaluasi untuk dipilih sebagai layout terbaik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari dua alternatif layout untuk proses painting kereta penumpang/berpenggerak, layout alternatif pertama dengan tambahan rail bypass dan perpanjangan jalur transverser adalah layout terbaik, memberikan efisiensi ongkos material handling 21.68% terhadap laytout painted body dan 32.28% terhadap layout unpainted saat ini dan dari tiga alternatif layout untuk proses painting gerbong barang, layout alternatif pertama adalah layout terbaik, memberikan efisiensi ongkos material handling lebih dari 26% terhadap layout line 1 dan layout line 2 saat ini.
=================================================================================================================================
PT. INKA is a rail-based transportation facility manufacturing company with job order characteristics that has experienced significant developments in the number and types of products produced. Increasing production capacity and improving quality are continuously carried out. The investment policy is directed at rejuvenating machines and reorganizing production facilities at the Madiun factory and preparing a new factory in Banyuwangi. Inefficiencies in the production process are still found where waste in the form of waiting, over processing, motion and transportation, are the four major wastes that occur (Herwindo 2017). Waiting, motion, transportation waste are interrelated wastes. Waiting waste occurs due to transportation where the distance between processes is far apart, there is insufficient space resulting in bottle necks, motion is also caused by the large number of products/materials being moved because the process is spread out. Factory layout, especially at the painting stage, is critical because the product has large dimensions and uses a rail-based mode for movement between processing stations. This research aims to identify and analyze company data which includes product type, target production capacity, process flow, service support, processing time and working hours related to the need and availability of work areas and location arrangement. Based on the analysis, several alternative layouts were created and the best layout was selected for the re-layout of the painting process for goods carriages, passenger trains and propelled trains. The Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method was used in this research. The layout planning stages involve identification of product (P), quantity (Q), routing (R), service support (S), and time (T), followed by registration of activity areas, material flow analysis, as well as other relationships described in a relationship diagram. Evaluate space requirements, create spatial relationship diagrams, and analyze constraints and limitations as considerations for creating alternative layouts which are then evaluated to be selected as the best layout. The research results show that of the two alternative layouts for the painting process for passenger/propelled trains, the first alternative layout with the addition of a bypass rail and extension of the transverser track is the best layout, providing a material handling cost efficiency of 21.68% for the current painted body layout and 32.28% for the current unpainted layout. and of the three alternative layouts for the goods carriage painting process, the first alternative layout is the best layout, providing material handling cost efficiency of more than 26% compared to the current line 1 and line 2 layouts
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.
