A Half-Century Review of Library and Information Science Student Final Projects at Universitas Indonesia (1973–2022): A Bibliometric Analysis of Topics and Trends
Get PDFBibliometric analysis provides valuable insights into the evolution, patterns, and distribution of research topics addressed in student final projects within the Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Indonesia. This study investigates the development of these projects and the progression of research themes from 1973 to 2022, categorized into twenty thematic areas as outlined by Yelim Mo (2019). Using descriptive bibliometric methods, the study maps shifts in topic selection across five decades and identifies thematic areas that have emerged as dominant. The results indicate that topics related to library management, information user studies, collection management, records and archives management, and introductory studies in library and information science (LIS) appear most frequently. Conversely, areas such as introduction to information science, history of information and culture, metadata, and the history of libraries are notably underrepresented. Overall, the findings offer a comprehensive overview of research trends in library and information science at Universitas Indonesia and contribute to a broader understanding of knowledge production within the field. These insights have implications for curriculum refinement and future research planning, encouraging a more diverse and balanced distribution of themes in student scholarly work.
Analisis Ketersediaan Koleksi Buku Perpustakaan Menggunakan Bibliometrik
No full textBooks are one of the main collections served by libraries. There are books that are often used as reference material, but there are also books that are used sparingly. On the other hand, there are books that are used as references by users that have not been provided by the library. This research aims to see the availability of book collections based on the number of student thesis citations. This research uses a quantitative approach with bibliometric methods. The main data for this research are citations from student theses from the Universitas Medan Area communication science study program for 2020-2022. The data collected is in the form of a list of citations contained in the thesis. Search, collection and filtering of thesis citation data was carried out. After filtering, the data was tabulated using Ms. Excel will then be compared with the availability of the UMA Library collection via the library's OPAC. The number of book citations contained in communication science students' theses for 2020-2022 in the UMA repository has reached 1,928. Measurements were carried out to evaluate the availability of book collections in the library and provide 44 recommendations for book procurement as improvement steps. Bibliometrics can be used as a tool to measure the usefulness of collections and provide recommendations for the procurement of library collections. However, research involving more research report and study program is expected to produce more comprehensive recommendations
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
