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
Analysis of Netizen Comments on the Humorous Da'wah of Ustadzah @Amazmii's TikTok Account
No full textThe phenomenon of da'wah through social media, especially TikTok, is growing among young audiences, with the use of humour as one of the approaches in delivering religious messages. This study aims to analyse netizen comments on humorous da'wah videos uploaded by the TikTok account @Amazmii. The focus of this research is to understand the emotional reactions, public discourse, and social dynamics formed in short video-based social media comment columns. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, combining sentiment analysis and thematic analysis. The data used consisted of 1000 comments collected using Apify software, which allows automatic data collection from three TikTok videos. The data obtained was then analysed using the Communalytic.org platform to perform four types of analysis, namely Civility Analyzer, Sentiment Analyzer, Topic Analyzer, and Network Analyzer. The results show that the majority of comments tend to be neutral, with little positive sentiment and almost no comments containing high toxicity. Sentiment analysis using VADER and TextBlob showed that these humorous da'wah videos were well received without triggering strong negative reactions. This finding indicates that humour can be an effective strategy in delivering da'wah messages that are more acceptable to young audiences without causing controversy. The significance of this finding is that humorous da'wah on social media can expand the reach of religious messages, with a more relaxed approach while still maintaining modesty and religious values. This research is useful for the development of da'wah communication strategies on social media to increase wider audience engagement.Fenomena dakwah melalui media sosial, khususnya TikTok, semakin berkembang di kalangan anak muda, dengan penggunaan humor sebagai salah satu pendekatan dalam menyampaikan pesan-pesan keagamaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis komentar netizen terhadap video dakwah humor yang diunggah oleh akun TikTok @Amazmii. Fokus penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami reaksi emosional, wacana publik, dan dinamika sosial yang terbentuk dalam kolom komentar media sosial berbasis video pendek. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, dengan menggabungkan analisis sentimen dan analisis tematik. Data yang digunakan terdiri dari 1000 komentar yang dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Apify, yang memungkinkan pengumpulan data secara otomatis dari tiga video TikTok. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis menggunakan platform Communalytic.org untuk melakukan empat jenis analisis, yaitu Civility Analyzer, Sentiment Analyzer, Topic Analyzer, dan Network Analyzer. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas komentar cenderung netral, dengan sedikit sentimen positif dan hampir tidak ada komentar yang mengandung toksisitas tinggi. Analisis sentimen menggunakan VADER dan TextBlob menunjukkan bahwa video-video dakwah humor ini diterima dengan baik tanpa memicu reaksi negatif yang kuat. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa humor dapat menjadi strategi yang efektif dalam menyampaikan pesan dakwah yang lebih dapat diterima oleh penonton muda tanpa menimbulkan kontroversi. Signifikansi dari temuan ini adalah bahwa dakwah humor di media sosial dapat memperluas jangkauan pesan-pesan keagamaan, dengan cara yang lebih mudah diterima
Epistemic Distortion in Qur’anic Interpretation: Hustle Culture and Digital Religious Narratives on Instagram
Full text linkThis study uses qualitative methods, combining textual and visual analyses, to investigate how Qur'anic verses are interpreted, manipulated, and circulated in frenzied cultural narratives on Instagram. This research focuses on the content of three Instagram accounts: @alqurancustomku, @lanternoflightofficial, and @ssheikh00, supported by secondary literature on Islamic epistemology and digital religion. The study finds that Qur’anic interpretations on these platforms often reflect selective reading and cherry-picking of verses that support entrepreneurial and motivational narratives, frequently detaching scriptural meaning from scholarly traditions. Authority over interpretation shifts from ulama to digital influencers, creating a fragmented epistemic environment that privileges virality over exegetical rigor. This research contributes to the growing field of digital religion by articulating how algorithm-driven content production facilitates new forms of textual reception, theological authority, and spiritual branding. It integrates insights from the theory of text reception and epistemic distortion to frame this trend as a reconfiguration of Qur’anic meaning under the pressures of digital capitalism. The findings call for greater literacy in Qur’anic hermeneutics within digital media spaces and encourage religious authorities, educators, and policymakers to develop guidelines for ethical and theologically sound online da'wah practice. This study focuses on a small number of Instagram accounts and does not fully explore platform-based variation (e.g., TikTok, YouTube) or broader demographic responses, such as youth and inter-sectarian interpretations. Future research should expand the comparative scope and include quantitative engagement metricsAbstrak
Fenomena hustle culture yang merupakan budaya kerja berlebihan untuk mencapai kesuksesan, semakin populer di media sosial khususnya Instagram. Para content creator menggunakan ayat-ayat al-Qur’an untuk merefleksikan hustle culture dengan berbagai perspektif. Beberapa di antaranya menggunakan ayat al-Qur’an untuk menampilkan sisi positif hustle culture, sementara yang lain menggunakan ayat al-Qur’an untuk menolak hustle culture karena dianggap bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana ayat-ayat al-Qur’an direfleksikan dalam konteks hustle culture di Instagram, dengan fokus pada bentuk pilihan ayat, pertimbangan makna ayat dan implikasi ayat dalam refleksi hustle culture. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan metode analisis teks dan visual. Sumber data diperoleh dari unggahan akun Instagram @alqurancustomku, @lanternoflightofficial, dan @ssheikh00. Adapun sumber data sekunder diperoleh dari literatur terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemilihan ayat-ayat al-Qur’an dalam konteks hustle culture tidak selalu didasarkan oleh kajian tafsir yang mendalam, tetapi juga pada perubahan sosial yang berkembang di masyarakat.

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
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
