    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

    This article explores the concept of murabaha, in the dictum of Islamic economic philosophy. Murabahah is a form of sale and purchase in which the seller offers his merchandise by stating the price which is the sum of the acquisition price by adding a certain amount as profit. The focus of the discussion here is how a transaction is said to be murabaha? How are the instructions of the Qur'an and hadith regarding murabaha? How is the dictum of Islamic economic philosophy against murabaha? The research method used is literature, and other related references. This article provides a final review that the concept of murabahah by implementing it based on tauhid, justice and maslahah because obeying the instructions of the Qur'an and hadith is an obligation for every Muslim convert. It would be better if someone understands trading as an art as well as worship and kindness, so that it becomes motivation and passion for the perpetrators

    The civilization of the world of science and technology is now heading towards the era of industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0, it takes the readiness of the world community to be able to deal with it. Indonesia, the majority of the population is Muslim, there are many Islamic organizations, one of which is Al Jam\u27iyatul Washliyah. This study aims to explore the relevance of Al Jam\u27iyatul Washliyah\u27s planning strategy for the implementation of Islamic Accounting towards the industrial era 4.0 and society 5.0. The methodology used is a literature study approach to national and international journal articles, as well as books and other literature related to Islamic accounting. This research shows that on the one hand PT. BPRS Al-Washliyah has implemented sharia accounting in its operations. On the other hand, the Al-Washliyah organization organizationally still needs to further strengthen its strategy in order to fully implement sharia accounting in accordance with sharia PSAK. The results of this study are that the Islamic community organization which is classified as large in Indonesia is expected to be a model for the rise of a work system based on sharia. Islamic accountants and accounting are the answer to all forms of work in the accounting field that can respond to the challenges of modern times in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0. Al-Washliyah needs to implement a strategy for implementing sharia accounting, because this is in accordance with Islamic teachings

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    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
