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
Zakat Fitrah untuk Investasi Ternak Sapi: Tinjauan Hukum Islam dan Maqashid Syariah : Zakat al-Fitr for Cattle Farming Investment: A Review of Islamic Law and Maqashid Sharia
No full textThis study critically examines the distribution of zakat al-fitr as business capital for cattle farming from the perspective of Islamic law and maqashid shariah. The main focus lies in the potential misalignment between the long-term productive use of zakat and the immediate, consumptive nature of zakat al-fitr, which must be distributed before the Eid prayer. Using a qualitative approach, this research applies textual analysis of Islamic legal sources and comparative fiqh to evaluate the practice. The findings reveal that while productive zakat may be valid for zakat mal, its application to zakat al-fitr contradicts the objective of thum’atan lil masakin (feeding the poor) and the principle of taʿjil (prompt distribution). Investment schemes like cattle farming require time to yield benefits, making them incompatible with the urgent spiritual and social function of zakat al-fitr. Therefore, the study concludes that such practice diverges from its maqashid and recommends zakat al-fitr be distributed in a consumable form to the needy on Eid day. This distinction is crucial for ensuring that zakat al-fitr fulfills its intended socio-spiritual role while empowering communities through other Islamic philanthropic instruments.Penelitian ini mengkaji secara kritis praktik pendistribusian zakat fitrah dalam bentuk modal usaha ternak sapi dari perspektif hukum Islam dan maqashid syariah. Fokus utama adalah potensi ketidaksesuaian antara bentuk penyaluran produktif jangka panjang dengan prinsip dasar zakat fitrah yang bersifat konsumtif dan harus disalurkan segera sebelum salat Idul Fitri. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, analisis tekstual terhadap dalil syar’i serta komparasi fikih klasik dan kontemporer digunakan untuk menilai kesesuaian praktik ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun zakat produktif dapat diterapkan pada zakat mal, penerapannya pada zakat fitrah bertentangan dengan tujuan thum’atan lil masakin (pemberian makanan langsung bagi fakir miskin) dan prinsip taʿjil (penyegeraan). Proses investasi seperti ternak sapi memerlukan waktu untuk menghasilkan manfaat, sehingga tidak sesuai dengan esensi zakat fitrah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa praktik tersebut tidak sejalan dengan maqashid syariah zakat fitrah dan menyarankan agar zakat fitrah disalurkan dalam bentuk yang langsung dapat dikonsumsi oleh mustahik pada Hari Raya Idul Fitri

No full textThis study aims to propose a model of sukuk-wasiyyah. Since waqf fundraising is one of the activities of waqf management, this model applies wasiyyah or the will of waqif to sukuk. Wasiyyah will restrict the use of the fund by the will of Musi while sukuk is one of the Islamic capital market instruments. Like cash waqf, the fund of sukuk-wasiyyah will be managed by nazhir and its profit can be spent on Islamic philanthropy. This study applies exploratory research. The result of the study shows that (1) Musi or the bequeath testator still can gain the sukuk return during his life, (2) After Musi died, the sukuk is transferred under custody by Nazir. The author argues that the proposed product applies to Waqf Institution. This study is the first to introduce the terms of sukuk-wasiyyah and to propose the mechanism of sukuk-wasiyyah in the Islamic capital marke

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
