ANALISIS BIBLIOMETRIK PERKEMBANGAN PENELITIAN BIDANG ILMU INSTRUMENTASI

A study of trend analysis of the field of instrumentation research during the period 2006-2016 was conducted. The study aims to determine: (1) the development of the number of international publications in the field of instrumentation on the Scopus database from 2006-2016; (2) core journals in international publications in the field of instrumentation; (3) productivity of instrumentation researcher; (4) number of documents based on agency collaboration in international publications in the field of instrumentation; (5) the development of international publications of field research instrumentation by subject; (6) maps of international publications development of research in the field of instrumentation by keyword (co-word) and based on the author (co-author). Data collection by searching through scopus with keyword instrumentation, instrumens, measurements, medical instrumentation, virtual instrumentation and instrumentation system with category article title, abstract, keywords in the period 2006-2016. Data in the form of number of publications per year, journals containing articles of instrumentation, author, author and subject are analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010. As for the development trend of international publications in the field of instrumentation is analyzed using VosViewer software. The results showed that the development of the field of instrumentation sciences during the period 2006-2016 which was scanned in the highest scopus occurred in 2014 which reached 310 documents (14,90%). The international publication of the field of instrumentation is mostly published in the journal Spine. Universidade de São Paulo - USP is the most widely published institution in the field of instrumentation science and the United States is the largest contributor. Yazici, M., Zhang, H.Q., and Aubin, C.E. is a prolific writer in the field of instrumentation with the most subjects in medicine and engineering. The map of instrumentation development based on the coword grouped into 5 clusters and the co-authors clustered into 7 clusters

Coauthorship and Thematic Networks in AAEP Annual Meetings

We analyze the coauthorship production of the AAEP Annual Meeting since 1964. We use social network analysis for creating coauthorship networks and given that any paper must be tagged with two JEL codes, we use this information for also structuring a thematic network. Then we calculate network metrics and find main actors and clusters for coauthors and topics. We distinguish a gender gap in the sample. Thematic networks show a cluster of codes and the analysis of the cluster shows the preeminence of the tags related to trade, econometric, distribution/poverty and health and education topics.Comment: 30 pages, 12 Figures, 16 Table

From tool to instrument: An experiential analysis of interacting with Information Visualization.

Information Visualizations (InfoVis) are tools that represent huge amount of abstract data visually on a computer screen. These tools are not reaching the users since constituents of good InfoVis design are still an unknown. In this thesis I argue that good design is one that delivers positive experiences due to the subjectivity of the knowledge gaining processes. Hence, what constitutes a positive experience is the focus of this research. The application domain chosen was the Academic Literature Domain (ALD). ALD InfoVis tools exist however they do not cater for users' requirements or interface usability, both of which are crucial for a better experience. As a result, an ALD InfoVis tool was created following a User Centred Design (UCD) approach, starting with requirements and ending with usability. The requirements were first generated based on a qualitative study from which it became clear that researchers equate authors with their publications and position them in terms of the ideas they portray. Based on this, the tool was designed and implemented. The tool's usability was then evaluated through a set of low and high level tasks. Low-level tasks target the visual syntax whereas high-level tasks tap into the generated semantics. The latter allowed for subjective reasoning and interaction, and were therefore used as the basis of the experiential study. The experiential study captured users' experiences by relying on a Grounded Theory (GT) analysis. This study resulted in the generation of a base theory of InfoVis interaction that properly fitted within the context of the instrumental genesis theoretical framework which argues for the design of instruments not tools, where instruments are mental appropriations of tools. The theoretical approach applied by this research has value across InfoVis even if not tailored for evaluation

Exploring scientific collaborations in geographical information science (GIScience): A study of its co-authorship networks

Geographic Information Science (GIScience) as a discipline focuses on fundamental issues surrounding Geographic Information (Gl) and developments and applications of Geographical Information Technologies (GITechnologies). GIScience has accumulated a body of knowledge that can be easily exported and applied to other disciplines and assembled a wider multidisciplinary research community. Co-authorship networks are used to explore GIScience scientific collaborations during 1992-2002. Six different co-authorship networks were built from publication outlets comprising different sets of core and peripheral journals. The closer the periphery to the core, the more relevant the selected journals are to GIScience. Topological characteristics of all networks show similar networks despite the differences in sizes and the nature of the topics covered. However, networks with the peripheral journals closer to the core were more centralized around well-known scholars within the discipline. Furthermore, the network structures show a GIScience core linked to allied disciplines, especially to a highly clustered remote sensing research community. The core co-authorship network was geo-referenced using authors’ affiliation information. The results show that geographical proximity, language and cultural preferences play important roles. Countries known for their strong publishing patterns in other sciences such as England, USA and Canada were alos identified within GIScience domain. A growth of international collaboration among Scandinavian and European Countries was revealed. Results also show that China, India and Brazil have been increasing their international participation within the GIScience research community
