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
Implementasi Metodologi Prototype dalam Pengembangan Sistem Manajemen Kehadiran Pegawai Perusahaan Berbasis Web
No full textEmployee Attendance data has an important function in evaluating productivity and work discipline. The current management of employee attendance data at the CV Baja Diva Manufaktur company requires the administrator to check attendance data from the Excel file generated by the fingerprint machine. This management is done by checking the attendance data of each employee individually. In addition, administrative processes related to permits, warning letters, and overtime are also carried out manually, which requires employees to report directly to the office. This process is time-consuming and prone to data input errors. Therefore, this research aims to develop a system that is more efficient and flexible in managing employee attendance data. The research also revealed that most employees have little to no experience in information technology-based management systems. The methodology applied in this research is the prototype methodology, which was chosen because it can provide a better understanding of user needs and perspectives through continuous feedback during the development process. The implementation of the prototype methodology involved four iterations, where each iteration included the stages of listening to user feedback and complaints, building and refining the prototype, and testing and evaluating the prototype with users. The results of the prototype were then implemented using the CodeIgniter framework. Feedback from users showed that the prototype effectively met users\u27 needs and significantly improved the efficiency of attendance management. The usability testing results using questionnaires from 20 users showed an average satisfaction rate of 95.85%, indicating that this system can be applied in various organizations
Sistem Manajemen Kepegawaian dan Pencatatan Pekerja Migran Indonesia di BP3MI Riau dengan Metode Prototipe
No full textBalai Pelayanan Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia (BP3MI) Riau, a government agency dedicated to protecting Indonesian migrant workers. The agency faces challenges with its unstructured and inefficient data management system. The use of Microsoft Excel for documenting the data of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) and employees at BP3MI Riau is prone to data entry errors, time inefficiencies, unstructured data, potential damage, limited access, restricted analysis, difficulties in tracking changes, and a high risk of data loss. To address these issues, research was conducted to develop a more effective employee management and PMI data recording system using the prototype method. This method emphasizes user collaboration in understanding system requirements, resulting in practical solutions. The prototype method stages include user requirements gathering, designing input, process, and output needs, followed by rapid UML model design, program code implementation, and finally, testing. The system development results show that users have a very positive impression from the usability testing, achieving a score of 97.76%. This indicates the effectiveness of the prototype. The system significantly improves manual methods, enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of data at BP3MI Riau, and lays the foundation for future advancements with greater integration and automation prospects in BP3MI Riau\u27s operations
DEKOMPOSISI CITRA GERAKAN DALAM REKAMAN CCTV MENGGUNAKAN TRANSFORMASI WAVELET DISKRIT
Get PDFPada makalah ini dipresentasikan hasil dekomposisi data citra gerakan dalam rekaman CCTV menggunakan transformasi wavelet diskrit. Citra gerakan pada rekaman CCTV diambil dengan menggunakan background substraction. Dekomposisi data citra ditujukan untuk mendapatkan jumlah data citra yang lebih sedikit tetapi tidak menghilangkan cirri atau karakter citra aslinya. Nilai data pada setiap pixel citra yang sebelumnya tersusun dua dimensi diubah menjadi deret nilai pixel satu dimensi. Penerapan transformasi wavelet diskrit dilakukan dengan teknik pemfilteran menggunakan impuls daubechies orde 4 (Db4) wavelet. Pemfilteran ini menghasilkan dekomposisi sebuah sinyal dengan pengurangan setengah data di setiap level dekomposisi. Dari pengujian yang dilakukan, pada dekomposisi level 1 pengurangan data sebesar 49,99% dengan perubahan parameter rata-rata nilai pixel 1,19% dan perubahan pola pixel 1,93%. Pada level 2, pengurangan jumlah data 24,99% rata-rata nilai pixel 1,62% dan perubahan pola pixel 2,46%. Pada level 3 perubahan jumlah data 12,48% dengan perubahan rata-rata pixel 2,32% dan pola pixel 3,82%. Pada level 4 perubahan jumlah data mencapai 6,22% dengan perubahan rata-rata nilai pixel 2,31% dengan perubahan pola 4,57% dari citra aslinya. Dari hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa transformasi wavelet dapat digunakan untuk memperkecil jumlah data citra tanpa kehilangan cirri atau karakteristik aslinya
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
