    This paper discusses the application of the ROAR (Routes, Organizations, Assessment, Risks and Rewards) framework in innovative policies used by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government for handling the COVID-19 crisis. With policies such as PSBB, PPKM, and the JAKI application, the Jakarta Government has successfully implemented adaptive and data-driven policies. The ROAR framework helps explain how the government sets policy objectives (Routes), facilitates crosssector collaboration (Organizations), evaluates policies in real-time (Assessment), and shares risks and rewards among the actors involved (Risks and Rewards). A descriptive quantitative approach was use based on a literature study. The data in this study were collected from various secondary literature sources, such as books, journal articles, official reports, and other policy documents. The results show that ROAR-based policy innovations are key in maintaining health and economic stability during the pandemic

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Implementation of Batik Wastewater Management Policy: A Case Study of Pekalongan City

    Full text link
    This study aims to review the implementation of batik waste management policies in Pekalongan City, this is because Pekalongan is the largest batik producing area in Indonesia with an average production of over sixty percent of the total national production capacity which is dominated by the small-scale batik industry or household industry, and this has caused pollution to the environment, this research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a field study approach compared to literature review or literature study and the results found that the environment, The number of Wastewater Treatment Plants (IPAL) that are still being built is small and not proportional to the amount of waste produced per cubic meter and day and the implementation of policy implementation which does not produce maximum output in overcoming batik wastewater in Pekalongan City because the target of building the number of Wastewater Treatment Plants in Pekalongan City has not been built one hundred percent at this time based on established policies and should be able to accommodate all wastewater from the remaining batik production in Pekalongan City

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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
