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
PERAN PROGRAM TAHFIDZ 30 JUZ DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER RELIGIUS SANTRIWATI DI PONDOK PESANTREN DARUL AMAN GOMBARA MAKASSAR
Full text linkThe Role of the Tahfidz 30 Juz Program in Shaping the Religious Character of Santriwati at the Darul Aman Gombara Islamic Boarding School, Makassar (supervised by Dr. H. Yusri Muhammad Arsyad, MA andDr. H. Andi Darmawangsa, S.Ag., M.Ag). Education has an important role in shaping the personality and character of students so that they are able to face the challenges of the times that continue to develop. In the context of Islamic education, the formation of religious character is the main aspect that not only aims to educate intellectuals, but also to foster moral and spiritual students. One of the real efforts in shaping religious character is through the Tahfidz Al-Qur'an program. This program is not only oriented to memorization, but also to internalizing the values of the Qur'an in daily life. The research aims to: (1) Determine the role of the Tahfidz 30 Juz program in shaping the religious character of students at the Darul Aman Gombara Islamic Boarding School in Makassar; (2) Knowing the values of religious character formed through the Tahfidz 30 Juz program; (3) To know the supporting and inhibiting factors of the role of the Tahfidz 30 Juz program in shaping the religious character of the students. The research method that has been used is qualitative descriptive. Data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques are in the form of data collection, data presentation, data reduction and conclusion drawn. The results of this study show that the Tahfidz 30 Juz program at the Darul Aman Gombara Islamic Boarding School in Makassar plays an important role in the formation of the religious character of students. Through daily, weekly, and monthly activities, students are accustomed to discipline in worship, responsibility, honesty, and patience and sincerity. The religious values that are formed include the values of worship, jihad, morals, trust, and example. The supporting factors for the success of the program come from the positive personality of the students, family support, and a religious and conducive pesantren environment. The inhibiting factors include differences in student backgrounds, inappropriate family parenting, weak motivation of some students in maintaining memorization consistency, and limited access to observation and supervision in the dormitory which causes the coaching process to not always be optimally monitored. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the Tahfidz 30 Juz program is an effective educational means in shaping the religious character of students through habituation of Qur'anic values in daily life. An integrative and applicable approach has been proven to be able to foster discipline, responsibility, and example, although there are still several aspects that need to be improved so that the formation of religious character can run more optimally and sustainably
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
