Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Contextualizing Kymlicka’s Multicultural Citizenship in Surabaya
Full text linkSebagai kota terbesar kedua di Indonesia, Surabaya memiliki daya tarik yang luar biasa dalam proses urbanisasi, yang secara tidak langsung telah menanamkan benih-benih keragaman di kota ini. Warga kota Surabaya adalah penduduk yang egaliter dan terbuka. Selain penduduk asli yang biasa disebut arek soerabaya, ada juga penduduk pendatang yang berasal dari Madura, Arab, Cina, Ambon, Bugis, dan Melayu. Kelompok-kelompok ini hidup berdampingan secara damai di Surabaya. Artikel ini berangkat dari riset yang penulis lakukan melalui wawancara dengan penduduk lokal, kaum migran, politisi dan intelektual. Riset tersebut bermuara pada pertanyaan bagaimana para pendatang bisa bertahan hidup di Surabaya dalam nuansa keragaman dan keberagaman; serta bagaimana mereka melihat program-program pemerintah seputar multikulturalisme. Dengan merujuk pada konsep multicultural citizenship dari Kymlicka, artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa meski terkesan “damai,†terdapat resistensi antara penduduk lokal dan migran khususnya yang berkaitan dengan politik dan ekonomi. Sebagian kelompok mayoritas, penduduk lokal termarjinalkan dalam urusan politik dan ekonomi akibat kalah bersaing dengan penduduk migran yang ada di Surabaya. Hal ini semakin diperparah dengan program festival multikulturalisme pemerintah Surabaya yang terkesan seremonial tahunan tanpa melibatkan penduduk lokal
Al-Mutawakkil's Edict on Christianity and Its Relation to Christian-Muslim Encounters: A Historical Analysis
No full textThis article examines the Christian-Muslim relations in the third/ninth century through the al-Mutawakkil’s edict on Christianity issued in 235/850. Historically, al-Mutawakkil’s rule in 232-247/847-861 was marked by three significant events: the ending of the Inquisition in 234/849, the declaration of an edict against Christianity in 235/850, and the lifting of the tomb of Imam Ḥusayn b. Abī Ṭālib in 236/851. Particularly, the second event highlighted the complex relations between Christians and Muslims in early Islam, and accordingly raised such a question as why the Caliph al-Mutawakkil only targeted Christians in his edict even though Muslims had encountered many religious groups (ahl al-dhimmah). Examining the classical and modern resources of Islamic history on this account, this article traces theological, social, and political factors in the Christian-Muslim encounters surrounding al-Mutawakkil’s edict. Even though al-Mutawakkil failed to fully implement the edict on Christians, he demonstrated that he was a tactician ruler who could win over his Muslim subjects and control non-Muslim citizens, bureaucrats, and soldiers
