    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    The realization of the principle of justice in proving the settlement of consumer disputes through arbitration in Indonesia is equally important. Undeniable, there is a weakness of the consumer protection law, both substantial norms and formal law. This article is normative legal research that refers to norms and legal principles in the legislation or court decisions. The results show that the proof is one of the trials that plays an important role. In general, the verification system is distinguished based on civil law and common law understandings influenced by various proof system theories such as the presumption of liability principle adopted in the Indonesian consumer protection law. The principle of justice in the consumer arbitration system is different from the arbitration verification system that is universally applicable in Indonesia. The ultimate goal of choosing consumer arbitration is to get substantial justice that is more dignified and not just obtaining formal justice.Â

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    Prinsip Keadilan pada Acara Pembuktian dalam Penyelesaian Sengketa Konsumen Melalui Arbitrase di Indonesia

    UUPK (Law on Consumer Protection) is not intended to hamper people‟s businesses, but it supports healthy business through consumer protection, instead. The principle of justice in this listening to the evidence is considered important due to three reasons: first, UUPK is considered weak, the formula of substantial norms (material law) and formal law (law of procedure) are contrary to the other laws so that it is assumed that the formula of some norms of UUPK is not in accordance with the national legal system and is difficult to be harmonized. Secondly, legal norm in settling consumer dispute with the system of reversal of the burden of proof bring about injustice for consumers and business people and give an opportunity for the third party to manipulate evidence. Thirdly, it seems that the process of implementing the settlement of consumer dispute does not guarantee justice except arbiters are accurate and fair in distributing burden of proof and providing fair assessment on it. The research problems are as follows: how about listening to the evidence in positive law concerning the settlement of consumer dispute through arbitration, how about the principle of justice in listening to the evidence in settling consumer dispute through arbitration in Indonesia, and how about the system of burden of proof in settling consumer dispute through arbitration in Indonesia which provides justice for stakeholders. The research uses juridical normative method referred to legal norms and principles in legal provisions and in court‟s verdicts, based on the paradigm of dynamic relations among theories, concepts, and data which become the feedback or fixed modification of the theories and concepts based on the collected data. It also uses explorative method which digs up concrete thoughts and legal norms in law on consumer protection and prescriptive method which offers the concept of solving problems (problem solving) which is not merely to describe something as it is. The result of the research shows that the system of evidence in UUPK in arbitration in a model of evidence according to the presumption of liability principle from the common law countries. The system of evidence in UUPK is different from that in arbitration universally so that it cannot be harmonized and will eventually cause injustice for business people and consumers. The system of evidence in arbitration in settling consumer dispute is highly dependant on the pinterest of the parties involved in it. Therefore, the system of evidence in Indonesia should be adjusted to the universal principle of justice which is not contrary to the freedom of judges (arbiters) in reaching a verdict. Balance of proof is not only based on the liability of business people but also based on the balance between consumers‟ evidence and business people‟s. The realization of the principle of justice characterized by national law in listening to the evidence in consumer dispute through arbitration will eventually provide justice for all Indonesian people. The norm of reversal burden of proof system in UUPK should be reformulated in the national legal system characterized by national identity, Pancasila as the legal 5 ground which is humanly, just, respectful and has social justice among the people, the countries, and with God so that the purpose of UUPK can be achieved and can be harmonized with the other legal norms. The principle of justice has to be realized based on Pancasila. Judge and Arbiter empowerment should be increased in settling consumer dispute by understanding the universal principles of arbitration. The procedure of examining simple claim should be optimized according to the Directive of the Supreme Court about consumer disputes in Indonesia.317 HalamanDisertasi Dokto

    We 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
