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
PEMAHAMAN LAFAZH MUJMAL DAN MUBAYYAN DALAM AL-QUR’AN SERTA IMPLIKASINYA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN TAFSIR
Get PDFThe words mujmal and mubayyan are two important concepts in the science of interpretation which relate to the way in which meaning is conveyed in the Qur'an. Lafazh mujmal refers to words or expressions that still have generality and require further explanation to understand them correctly. Meanwhile, the word mubayyan is an expression that is clear and detailed so that its meaning can be understood directly without the need for additional explanation. In the context of the Qur'an, these two types of lafazh play a very important role. Verses that use the lafazh mujmal often require further interpretation or explanation from other explanatory verses (mubayyan), either those that come in the Qur'an itself or from the hadith of the Prophet SAW. For example, the lafazh mujmal can be found in legal verses that require a more in-depth explanation, such as the verse regarding the obligation of zakat which only states the amount without details of how it is managed. Lafazh mubayyan, on the other hand, can be found in clearer verses, such as further explanations of the details of zakat in surah Al-Baqarah and the hadith of the Prophet SAW
PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS QAEDAH BAHASA, QAEDAH TAFSIR, DAN USHUL FIQH DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
Get PDFThis research aims to explore and analyze Qaedah-based Learning of Language, Qaedah Tafsir, and Ushul Fiqh in Islamic Education. The problem raised is the lack of in-depth understanding of these three rules among students and teachers. The methodology used was a literature study, by collecting data from various written sources, including books, journal articles, and relevant official documents. The results showed that the Qaedah of Language serves as the linguistic basis for interpreting religious texts, the Qaedah of Tafsir provides a systematic methodology for understanding the meaning of Qur'anic verses, and Ushul Fiqh plays an important role in the development and application of Islamic law. This research is expected to make a significant contribution to the understanding and teaching of these rules in the context of Islamic education, as well as encourage the development of a more effective curriculum

No full textDispelling 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
