Multi criteria decision making to determine the location of Via Laundry's branch
No full textDecision of choosing the right business location will determine the future development of the business itself. Location decision making is not only important in terms of costs and profits but is also one part of a company's strategic planning which is significant in increasing competitive advantage. Via Laundry’s owners has decided to open a new store branch to expand their business as it has been well-operated for 3 years. Business owners have determined several alternatives for this new branch’s location, namely Transpark Djuanda Bekasi, Jakarta Garden City, and Harapan Indah. The purpose of this study will help business owners to better decide preferred location for the new branch by using multi-criteria decision making, which is AHP and TOPSIS combined methods. Determination of criteria and alternatives is carried out based on the results of discussions with experts, namely business owners and their business partners. Experts also assess the importance of each criterion to produce a pairwise comparison matrix. Based on the results of calculations using the AHP method, priority vector values are obtained for the 6 criteria from the highest to the lowest weight, namely population density (0.370), water cleanliness (0.249), rental costs (0.131), land area (0.103), ease of access roads (0.093), and competitiveness level (0.054). Calculation using AHP method generate weight of each criterias which is then used in TOPSIS. By comparing the distance with ideal solution, preference value for each alternative can be obtained, namely 0.3053 for Jakarta Garden City, 0.3624 for Harapan Indah, and 0.8009 for Transpark Djuanda Bekasi. The chosen location recommendation for Via Laundry’s new branch is Transpark Djuanda Bekasi with the highest preference value of 0.8009
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

PENDEKATAN KOMBINASI METODE AHP DAN METODE CUT OFF POINT PADA TAHAP ANALISIS KEPUTUSAN PERANCANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI PENJUALAN PT.X
No full textPT. Indhira Travindo merupakan salah satu agen perjalanan wisata ke Negara United Arab Emirates (UAE) khususnya negara Abu Dhabi dan Dubai. Sistem penjualan perusahaan saat ini sering kali mengalami masalah-masalah yang akhirnya akan memperlambat proses penjualan. Hasil analisis sistem menunjukkan bahwa masalah yang sedang dihadapi perusahaan adalah data penjualan perusahaan sering hilang, waktu pelayanan yang lama, belum adanya prosedur penjualan yang memadai, waktu pembuatan laporan yang cukup lama dan hal lain. Berdasarkan permasalahan-permasalahan yang dihadapi tersebut maka perlu dilakukan analisis keputusan terhadap kebutuhan sistem informasi penjualan. Tahap analisis keputusan merupakan salah satu bagian penting dalam metodologi. Tahap ini merupakan tahap untuk pengambilan keputusan mengenai sistem informasi apakah yang akan dibangun berdasarkan hasil analisis masalah dan analisis kebutuhan sistem informasi. Metode Cut off Point akan digunakan dalam hal memilih kriteria berdasarkan opini sejumlah responden/pengambil keputusan dengan memberikan indeks terhadap derajat kepentingan masing-masing kriteria dan dipergunakan sebagai komponen pembangun struktur hirarki Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Validitas kriteria yang terpilih ditentukan berdasarkan hasil perundingan pihak yang terkait langsung dan user dalam sebuah forum diskusi ”Nominal Group Tehnic” (NGT) .

Abstract
PT.X as one of traveling agency to United Arab Emirates (UAE) countries especially Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The selling system nowadays often encounters some problems which eventually will slow the selling process down. The results of the analysis showed that the problems encountered by the company are the lost of selling data happens very often, the services takes quite a long time, the selling procedure is not well available, the making of the report takes a long time and so on. Decision analysis for selling information system is needed to solve the problem on the selling system. One of the important parts in action planning of System Information Method is phase of Decision Analysis. It forms phase for decision making about what kind of System Information will built based on problem analysis results and necessity of System Information analysis. Cut-Off Point Method will use in choosing criteria based on opinions of respondents/decision makers by give index across degree of each criteria importance and used as component of hierarchy structure builder of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The chosen criteria of validity fixed by result of discuss between personal direction and user in a “Nominal Group Techic” NGT discussion forum.
