Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
القران عند نصر حامد ابو زيد وتاْثير المعتزلة فيه
Get PDFAl-Qur’an merupakan kalamullah sekaligus penuntun hidup umat manusia yang diturunkan Allah melalui malaikat Jibril kepada Nabi Muhammad secara berangsur-angsur selama 23 tahun, baik turun karena ada kasus yang teijadi pada masa itu atau tidak. Akan perihal al-Qur’an yang merupakan kalamullah ini teijadi perbedaan sengit antara para ulama. Ulama’ Mu'tazilah berpendapat bahwa al-Qur’an merupakan makhluk yang juga diciptakan Allah, karena yang namanya kalam itu pastinya merupakan susunan kata dan rangkain kalimat. Namun, Mu 'tazilah tidak mentajsimkan kalam Allah tersebut. Sedangkan ulama’ Ahlussunnah Waljama 'ah berpendapat sebaliknya, yang berarti bahwa al-Qur’an itu qadim, yang sudah menjadi satu-kesatuan kengan dzat (al-Kalam al-Nafsi) yang maha kuasa. Perbincangan akan konsep al-Qur’an ini terns berlanjut pada masa modem. Banyak pemikir kontemporer dengan disiplin ilmu yang makin berkembang juga mewamainya. Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid (Abu-Zaid), yang seorang mu'tazili, dengan pendekatan sastra Arab dan teori baratnya (baca: hermeneutik) menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa al-Qur’an itu merupakan produk budaya (muntaj tsaqafi), di mana ia terbentuk selama 23 tahun dengan peradaban Arab berabat-abat yang lalu. Ketika seperti itu, peran dan campur tangan Muhammad sebagai penerima wahyu pertama juga berperan. Dari sini, bisa disimpulkan bahwa konsep al-Qur’an Abu Zaid adalah makhluk, seperti apa yang dikatakan Mu’tazilah. Namun, apakah di sana ada pengaruh Mu'tazilah? Untuk itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana konsep al-Qur’an menurut Mu'tazilah dan Nasr Abu-Zaid. Dan juga, untuk mengungkap apa konsep al-Qur’an Nasr Abu-Zaid itu dipengaruhi atau terpengaruh dengan konsep al-Qur’annya Mu 'tazilah. Dengan demikian, dalam skripsi ini dikomparasikan antara konsep al- Qur’an Mu’tazilah dan Nasr Abu-Zaid. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif berbasis penelitian kepustakaan (library research) berupa pembacaan dan kajian teks (text reading) dan analisis isi (content analysis) melalui analytic description. Akhimya, penelitian ini menghasilkan simpulan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh berarti dari Mu'tazilah terhadap konsep al-Qur’an Nasr Abu-Zaid, kecuali penekanan pemikirannya saja, yang menekankan pada akal. Lebih lanjutnya, penelitian ini mengatakan bahwa konsep muntaj tsaqafi Nasr Abu-Zaid itu lebih dipengaruhi oleh kajian Barat (baca: Bibel)
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
Hukum Islam: dari Formal-Tekstual Menuju ‎Kontekstual-Substansial (Pergulatan Wacana di ‎Mesir)‎
No full textThis article discusses discourse of islamic jurisprudence in Egypt. Islam came to Egypt in 639 AD, during Umar ibn ibn al-Khattab’s reign. Since then, Egyptian community study Islamic teaching, including Islamic jurisprudence. In the 20th century AD, modernization also happened in Egypt. In the area of Islamic studies, the modernization manifests in the facts that many Egyptian students studied in western countries. As they returned, they were able to influence Islamic discourse in their country. One of their campaign was establishing western-like schools in Egypt. This move created impact towards the discource of islamic jurisprudence in Egypt since there was process of dialog between western approach and Islamic jurisprudence. One subsequent result was the shift from formal-textual thought to contextual-substantial. Issues of reconstruction of Islamic law or even deconstruction of it keep flourishing. The idea of liberal jurisprudence has driven Islamic jurisprudence
