    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

    Kritik Terhadap Pemikiran Samuel P. Huntington Tentang Benturan Antar Peradaban

    Menurut Huntington, sumber fundamental dari konflik dalam dunia baru ini pada dasarnya tidak lagi ideologi atau ekonomi, melainkan budaya. Budaya akan memilah-milah manusia dan menjadi sumber konflik yang dominan. Negara-bangsa tetap akan menjadi aktor yang paling kuat dalam percaturan dunia, tapi konflik politik global yang paling prinsipil akan terjadi antara bangsa-bangsa dan kelompok-kelompok karena perbedaan peradaban mereka. Pertentangan antara peradaban akan mendominasi politik global. Garis-garis pemisah peradaban akan menjadi garis-garis pertentangan di masa depan

    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

    Law enforcement is the process of making efforts to enforce or function real legal norms as guidelines for behavior in traffic or legal relations in social and state life. Viewed from the perspective of the subject, law enforcement can be carried out by a wide range of subjects and can also be interpreted as law enforcement efforts involving all legal subjects in every legal relationship.. The author chose the type of empirical legal research by conducting a direct survey to obtain primary and secondary data. In collecting data, the author interviewed several respondents, namely: Police Chief, Criminal Investigation Unit Head, and Investigators. The results of the research that the author obtained are the efforts made by the Bukit Raya Police to enforce the law on the use of currency counterfeiting, namely preventive and repressive efforts. Preventive efforts include collaborating with Bank Indonesia by making banners, billboards and flyers about counterfeit money, providing education to the public in markets within the jurisdiction of the Bukit Raya Police, and providing education about 3D, urging the public to be more aware of the impact of counterfeit money in circulation. , and so that the public can cooperate with the police in eradicating criminal acts of currency counterfeiting. Repressive measures take the form of coercive measures, such as arresting suspects of currency counterfeiting, searches, confiscation, detention, filing documents to be submitted to the public prosecuto

    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
