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
Kedudukan Filsafat Hukum Dalam Pembentukan Politik Hukum Negara Sebagai Upaya Mewujudkan Keadilan: Kedudukan Filsafat Hukum Dalam Pembentukan Politik Hukum Negara Sebagai Upaya Mewujudkan Keadilan
No full textLegal philosophy plays a strategic role in shaping the direction and orientation of state legal policy, particularly in realizing the ideals of justice. As a branch of philosophy that studies the nature of law, its underlying values, and the purpose of its formation, legal philosophy serves as a normative foundation that guides policymakers so that legal products are not merely legal-formal, but also full of moral and humanitarian values. State legal politics is essentially the state\u27s policy and strategy in forming, implementing, and enforcing laws to achieve certain goals idealized by the constitution. In this context, legal philosophy provides a conceptual framework for determining the principles of justice to be realized, both based on classical theories of justice such as distributive , commutative , and legal justice according to Aristotle, as well as modern theories such as social justice ala John Rawls . The relationship between the two is complementary: legal philosophy provides ethical justification and value direction, while legal politics translates them into applicable positive norms. This research uses a juridical-normative approach with a literature review of legal philosophy theories, legal politics concepts, and the practice of law formation in Indonesia. The study\u27s findings indicate that the absence of a strong philosophical foundation in legal politics has the potential to produce legislation that is unequal, inconsistent, or even contrary to society\u27s sense of justice. Conversely, integrating legal philosophy into the legal policy formulation process can produce a more responsive, humanistic, and just legal system, in accordance with the mandate of the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution and Pancasila as the source of all sources of state law. Thus, legal philosophy is not merely theoretical, but also a crucial instrument in social engineering through law, to ensure the creation of a just, prosperous, and dignified society.Filsafat hukum memiliki peran strategis dalam membentuk arah dan orientasi politik hukum negara, khususnya dalam mewujudkan cita-cita keadilan. Sebagai cabang filsafat yang mempelajari hakikat hukum, nilai-nilai yang mendasarinya, dan tujuan pembentukannya, filsafat hukum menjadi landasan normatif yang menuntun pembentuk kebijakan agar produk hukum tidak sekadar legal-formal, tetapi juga sarat nilai moral dan kemanusiaan. Politik hukum negara pada dasarnya merupakan kebijakan dan strategi negara dalam membentuk, menerapkan, dan menegakkan hukum untuk mencapai tujuan tertentu yang diidealkan konstitusi. Dalam konteks ini, filsafat hukum memberikan kerangka konseptual untuk menentukan prinsip keadilan yang hendak diwujudkan, baik berlandaskan teori keadilan klasik seperti keadilan distributif, komutatif, dan legal menurut Aristoteles, maupun teori modern seperti keadilan sosial ala John Rawls. Hubungan keduanya bersifat saling melengkapi: filsafat hukum memberikan justifikasi etis dan arah nilai, sementara politik hukum menerjemahkannya ke dalam norma positif yang berlaku. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis-normatif dengan telaah literatur terhadap teori-teori filsafat hukum, konsep politik hukum, serta praktik pembentukan hukum di Indonesia. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa absennya landasan filsafat hukum yang kuat dalam politik hukum berpotensi melahirkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang timpang, tidak konsisten, atau bahkan bertentangan dengan rasa keadilan masyarakat. Sebaliknya, integrasi filsafat hukum ke dalam proses perumusan politik hukum mampu menghasilkan sistem hukum yang lebih responsif, humanis, dan berkeadilan, sesuai amanat Pembukaan UUD 1945 dan Pancasila sebagai sumber segala sumber hukum negara. Dengan demikian, filsafat hukum bukan hanya bersifat teoretis, melainkan menjadi instrumen penting dalam rekayasa sosial melalui hukum, guna menjamin terciptanya tatanan masyarakat yang adil, sejahtera, dan bermartabat
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
