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
ACT OF INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS IN SOCIOLOGY PERSPECTIVE
No full textThe development of information and communication technology has also caused world relations to become borderless and cause significant social, economic and cultural change to take place so quickly. Such rapid advances in information technology have contributed greatly to the development of the world of information and electronic transactions. However, it can not be denied that such great progress on one side brings benefits to humanity, but on the other hand it can also bring harm to humanity. The provisions of Law Number 11 Year 2008 in conjunction with Law Number 19 Year 2016 on Information and Electronic Transactions in the perspective of sociology is due to the will to meet the legal needs of the community, including laws that reflect the cultural values of a nation (latency) . Where many events show that people demand different ways of interception and threats of defamation that are considered too heavy so that sanctions to the treatment of offenders is considered more severe than the actions done.</jats:p
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
Perjanjian Baku dan Perlindungan Konsumen dalam Transaksi Bisnis Sektor Jasa Keuangan: Penerapan dan Implementasinya di Indonesia
Full text linkABSTRAK
Ketika konsumen tertarik dengan promosi yang ditawarkan pelaku usaha jasa keuangan, sesungguhnya ia tidak menyadari persoalan yang akan dihadapi berikutnya. Persoalan akan timbul ketika konsumen menghadapi formula perjanjian baku yang di dalamnya banyak terdapat klausula baku yang mengharuskan konsumen setuju. Pada praktiknya, saat ini tidak ada jasa keuangan yang tidak menggunakan format perjanjian dan klausula baku dalam bertransaksi dengan para konsumen. Bentuk perjanjian semacam ini jelas memposisikan konsumen sebagai pihak yang tidak punya daya tawar, sehingga, apapun isi dari perjanjian baku tersebut mau tidak mau harus disetujui, meskipun pada dasarnya konsumen mengetahui bahwa isi perjanjian memberatkan dirinya. Dalam wacana perlindungan konsumen, hal ini dikenal sebagai prinsip take it or leave it. Penggunaan perjanjian baku dengan sendirinya membuka peluang bagi penyedia jasa keuangan untuk memasukkan semua klausula yang menguntungkan dirinya. Biasanya konsumen yang berhubungan dengan jasa keuangan akan menjumpai berbagai kewajibannya sudah tertuang dalam perjanjian tanpa dapat dinegosiasikan. Kewajiban tersebut diantaranya mengenai biaya yang harus ditanggungnya, suku bunga, pemberian kuasa sepihak, serta semua kewajiban yang akan timbul di kemudian hari. Praktis sangat sedikit hak konsumen dituangkan dalam perjanjian baku ini.
Abstract
Consumers are usually unaware of issue might arrise when they were interested on the financial services entity offer. The issue might arrise when consumer given a standard contract formulas that loaded with standard clauses, which been prepared for the consumers to be approved. These days, there is noneof financial services entity that do not use a standard contract format which contained standard clauses in their contract with customers. The form of standard contract is obviously set the consumer to lose their bargain power. It makes the consumers does not have any choice beside consent even it they know that the contract is harmful for them. In the discourse of consumer protection, this mechanism is known as the principle of “take it or leave it”.The use of a standard contract by itself open an opportunity for financial service providers to include all the clauses that benefit him. Usually consumer-related financial services will find a variety of obligations stated in the contract can be negotiated without. Example of costs that must be borne, interest rates, giving unilateral power, and all the obligations that will arise in the future. Practically very little consumer rights set forth in this standard contract
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
