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
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
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AS INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND THE ISSUE OF STATE SOVEREIGNTY
Get PDFIt has been recognized that the anti-money laundering regime comprises of preventive and repressive measures. Regarding the preventive measures, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Money Laundering issued the Forty Recommendations which are regarded as international standards in preventing and controlling money laundering activities. These standards are generally viewed as ‘soft law’ and have levels of intervention in legislative, financial, and law enforcement of members and non-member countries of the FATF. However, the rule-making as well as the implementation and enforcement strategy of these standards are not involved and approved by non-member countries.This article argues that this policy is contrary to the principle of state sovereignty and regarded as one of state interventions in the domestic affairs of another state. This article seeks to draw theForty Recommendations as international standards and examines the creation and implementation of these standards from the standpoint of state sovereignty by focusing exclusively on the principle of sovereign equality and non-interference
Upaya Pemberantasan Korupsi dengan Rezim Anti-Money Laundering: Perspektif Internasional
Get PDFTerdapat hubungan yang erat antara korupsi dengan money laundering. Pelaku tindak pidana korupsi cenderung menggunakan proses money laundering untuk menyamnarkan asal usul asset yang dikorupsi. Rezim anti-money laundering yang telah dibangun melalui konvensi internasional dan diterapkan di berbagai negara adalah upaya untuk memberantas keajahatan asal, yang salah satunya adalah korupsi. Membangun rezim anti-money laundering berarti mencegah dilakukannya praktek money laundering. Dengan diperkecil keberhasilan melakukan moey laundering terhadap uang hasil korupsi, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa rezim anti-money laundering turut berperan di dalam menanggulangi kejahatan tersebut. Rezim anti-money laundering yang efektif akan memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap pemberantasan korupsi, setidak-tidaknya dengan dua cara. Pertama, rezim tersebut dapat membantu untuk mengungkap tindak pidana korupsi melalui identifikasi transaksi yang mencurigakan, sehingga diharapkan memberikan peluang yang luas terhadap keberhasilan penuntutan. Kedua, rezim tersebut juga dapat menelusuri asset hasil korupsi sehingga dapat dikembalikan kepada negara yang bisa digunakan untuk kemakmuran rakyat
Reformasi Sistem Pertanggungjawaban Pidana
Get PDFHukum Pidana Indonesia pada dasarnya menganut "asas kesalahan" sebagai asas yang fundamental dalam mempertanggungjawabkan seseorang yang melakukan perbuatan ppidana. Namun, dalam perjalanan sejarah, dengan berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi yang bedampak pula pada perkembangan kejahatan itu sendiri, asas kesalahan tidak lagi dapt digunakan sebgai satu-satunya asas dalam pertanggungjawaban pidana. untuk mengantisipasi kemajuan tersebut, diperlukan reformasi terhadap sistem pertanggungjawaban pidana. Berkaitan dengan reformasi ini, ada empat tolak ukut untuk menilai pakah relevan untuk diterapkan di Indonesia dalam kerangka pembaharuan hukum pidana nasional. Keempat tolak ukur tersebut adalah relevansi teoritis, relevansi yuridis, relevansi sosiologis, dan relevansi filosofis
