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
Sistem Komunikasi Serat Optik (SKSO) pada Perangkat FD-4250 140M OLT
Get PDFSistem komunikasi serat optik adalah suatu sistem komunikasi yang menggunakan serat optik untuk menyalurkan informasinya atau sebagai media transmisinya. Sinyal yang ditransmisikan pada serat optik adalah dalam bentuk cahaya yang merambat dalam serat optikan dapat merbat jarak yang cukup jauh. Serat optik bandwith redaman kecil pada jarak 1 km redaman harus dibawah 0,2dB. Bandwith yang lebar berarti menyalurkan informasi dengan jumlah yang besar
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
Counterproductive work behavior among the public service sector employees in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
No full textDoctor of Philosophy in ManagementCounterproductive work behavior is a major problem for organizations all over the world.
It leads to negative outcomes and costs a lot for the companies. Despite the ubiquity of this
issue, research works on the antecedents of counterproductive work behavior are very few.
So the present research aims at exploring the factors leading to counterproductive work
behavior. From the existing literature review, organizational justice and personality traits
have been chosen to examine as the potential antecedents of counterproductive work
behavior. While power distance was used as the moderator in the relationship between
organizational justices and counterproductive work behavior and perceived organizational
support as the moderator in the relationship between personality traits and
counterproductive work behavior. For the purpose of the study, data were collected from
the public civil servants of department of economic development in Dubai, UAE using the
proportionate stratified random sampling. The collected data were analyzed using partial
least square structural equation modeling technique with the help of smart PLS software.
The statistical findings showed that procedural, distributive and interactional justices are
significant factors that might hinder counterproductive work behavior; while emotional
stability, a personality trait was also found to be significantly and negatively correlated
with counterproductive work behavior. Findings revealed that power distance had
moderating effects in the relationship between organizational justices and
counterproductive work behavior; and perceived organizational support had moderating
effects in reducing organizational deviant behaviors in conjunction with agreeableness and
consciousness. The output of this study will provide significant insights regarding the
causes of CWBs in organizations. If organizations understand the reasons of CWBs, they
can work proactively to avoid such types of occurrences; ensure various steps to improve
the relationships with the employees so that the employees feel more supported and valued
by them and ultimately deviance behavior will be reduced. The findings of this study will
also help employers to implement recognition programs to help show employees that they
are valued by the organization
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
