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
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
OTORITAS ADAT, AGAMA DAN HUKUM DALAM PRAKTIK PERKAWINAN DI BAWAH UMUR DI LOMBOK TENGAH: DINAMIKA PENERAPAN KETENTUAN USIA MINIMUM DAN ADMINISTRASI PERKAWINAN
No full textThe phenomenon of underage marriage in Central Lombok reveals a tension between state regulations and the customary marriage practices embedded within the community. Arising from this issue, the present study aims to uncover the reasons behind the persistence of customary marriage practices that diverge from the state's minimum age requirements, explore their impact on the fulfilment of spousal rights and obligations in household life, and explain the extent to which traditional and religious authorities shape societal understandings regarding the application of the minimum age of marriage. This study also seeks to examine the responses of legal authorities, namely the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) and the Religious Court, to the practice of underage marriage in Central Lombok.
This research adopts a socio-legal approach within a qualitative framework, employing descriptive, analytical, and explanatory methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 38 informants, including traditional leaders, religious leaders, underage couples, the parents of underage couples, local community members, KUA officials, and judges from the Religious Court. Direct observation of customary marriage practices and an examination of legal documents, such as Religious Court rulings and KUA archives, were conducted as part of the primary data collection process to reinforce and deepen the field findings. The analysis of field data draws upon social construction theory and the theory of hidden transcripts to examine the dynamic interplay between state law and local values.
This study finds, first, that the people of Central Lombok preserve the practice of customary marriage (merarik) because they believe readiness for marriage is indicated by practical skills such as weaving, farming, or herding, which signify maturity, rather than by biological age. Second, the practice of customary marriage has a positive influence on the fulfilment of rights and obligations between spouses within the household. The division of roles based on skills not only signifies marital readiness but also strengthens economic independence and domestic responsibility. Customary marriage rituals such as nyelabar, begawe, and nyongkolan further reinforce inter-family bonds and establish social support networks that underpin household cohesion.
Third, public understanding of the minimum age for marriage is shaped by traditional and religious leaders. Traditional leaders instil values of marital readiness based on practical skills as a symbol of maturity, while religious leaders (tuan guru) interpret it through the attainment of baligh and provide religious legitimacy for customary marriage practices, thereby contributing to the occurrence of underage marriage. The community does not explicitly reject state law but circumvents it through the daily reproduction of cultural values, such as unregistered marriages legitimised through customary practices, which constitute a form of hidden transcript in response to state regulations.
Fourth, in response to underage marriages resulting from customary practices, the KUA refuses to register marriage intentions of couples who have not reached the minimum age and directs them to apply for a marriage dispensation through the Praya Religious Court. The Religious Court of Praya processes applications for both marriage dispensations and marriage validation (isbat nikah) in accordance with procedural requirements. Marriage dispensations are granted based on considerations such as preserving family honour, economic readiness, parental consent, and concerns over the risk of fornication. Conversely, applications are denied due to physical and mental unpreparedness, the risk of dropping out of school, and the potential violation of children's rights. Isbat nikah is also granted for couples who married under customary law after both parties have reached the administrative age. The findings of this study lead to a key point that constitutes its scholarly contribution, namely the revelation of how society and the state construct a space of compromise through cultural legitimacy and administrative practices in relation to underage marriage

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
