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
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
Interpretation of Mubham's verses according to Muhammad Abduh: Thematic Interpretive Studies
Get PDFThe Al-Quran is the main source of life that Allah revealed in Arabic. This of course can have very broad and varied meanings, so interpretation is needed to understand the Al-Qur’an well because the pronunciations and verses contained in it have different forms. different and diverse. The mubham verse is a verse found in the Al-Qur’an regarding pronunciation in which Allah mentions something without saying its name, be it prophets, saints, children of Adam, angels, jinn, countries, plants or animals. The aim of this research is to understand the meaning of Mubham's verse through the thoughts of Muhammad Abduh. The research method used is literature study. The data source for this research is writings related to the research object, either directly or indirectly. The author divides the data sources into two parts. First, the primary source, namely the book Tafsir al-Manar. Second, secondary sources, namely tafsir books or other works that have relevance to the research being discussed. The reduction process, including data selection, description process, analysis or testing, and conclusion process are carried out sequentially. The research results show that Mubham are verses that are still vague, whether they are verses that explain men, women, kings and jinn or a group of , ordinary names, all of which have not yet been mentioned their general characteristics. Muhammad Abduh has a different assessment of the Sunnah and its narrators, where he does not pay attention to aspects of ma'tsur (narration), nor does he pay attention to the method of takhrij al-hadith and history which has munasabah (relevance) with the verses of the Al-Qur’an. 'an. According to as-Siba'i Muhammad Abduh has the principle that the most effective weapon to defend Islam is logic and rational arguments.
Al-Quran sumber utama dalam kehidupan yang Allah turunkan dalam bahasa Arab, hal ini tentu saja dapat memiliki makna yang sangat luas dan beragam, sehingga diperlukan tafsir untuk memahami alquran dengan baik karena lafaz-lafaz dan ayat-ayat yang terkandung di dalamnya memiliki bentuk yang berbeda dan beraneka ragam tersebut. Ayat mubham adalah ayat yang terdapat dalam Alquran tentang lafaz di mana Allah menyebutkan sesuatu tanpa menyebutkan namanya, baik itu nabi, wali, bani Adam, malaikat, jin, negara, tumbuh-tumbuhan, maupun binatang-binatang. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami makna ayat mubham melalui pemikiran Muhammad Abduh. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka, Adapun sumber data penelitian ini adalah tulisan-tulisan yang berkaitan dengan objek penelitian baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Penulis membagi sumber data menjadi dua bagian. Pertama, sumber primer, yaitu kitab Tafsir al-Manar. Kedua, sumber sekunder, yaitu kitab-kitab tafsir ataupun karya-karya lain yang memiliki relevansi dengan penelitian yang sedang dibahas. Proses reduksi baik seleksi data, proses deskripsi, analisis atau pengujian, dan proses penyimpulan dilakukan secara berurutan.Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa mubham adalah ayat-ayat yang masih samar, baik itu ayat yang menerangkan tentang laki-laki, perempuan, raja dan jin atau sekumpulan, nama-nama biasa, seluruhnya yang belum disebut ciri-ciri umumnya. Muhammad Abduh mempunyai penilaian yang lain terhadap as-Sunnah dan para perawinya di mana beliau tidak menghiraukan segi-segi ma'tsur (periwayatan), tidak pula memperhatikan cara takhrij al-hadis serta Sejarah yang memiliki munasabah (relevansi) dengan ayat-ayat al qur'an. Menurut as-Siba’i Muhammad Abduh memiliki prinsip bahwa senjata yang paling ampuh untuk membela Islam adalah logika dan argumen yang rasional

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
