Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
PENGARUH SYIAH DALAM KEHIDUPAN MASYARAKAT ACEH (Refleksi atas Naskah Hikayat Hasan Husain dan Nu>r Muh}ammad)
No full textAbstract The article examines the traces of ideology and practices of Shia teachings that developed in Indonesia, particularly Aceh by analyzing two popular texts in Acehnese society, especially the Pidie region, the story of Hasan and Husain and Nu r Muhammad. To this end, the author uses an interdisciplinary approaches; first it uses philology and codicology to assess the content and the physic of the manuscript. Then the inter-textual approach is used to compare the text of the manuscript with similar texts in order to obtain information related to the cultural practices of the Shia in Acehnese society. Then to analyze the context of the background and the existence of the manuscript appeared in the local community even its popularity it uses the approach of social history. The authors found that the two texts being studied describe that people were really appreciated and reflected history of the past, then they use it as a spirit in their lives. Persistent struggle and relentless fight the people of Aceh against in disbelief and colonialism, perhaps, was part of a reflection of genuine appreciation for the history of the struggle of ‘Ali and his family that they were praised in the saga
FROM KONYA TO NUSANTARA: RUMI’S SUFI DIASPORA IN PIDIE, ACEH, INDONESIA
No full textRumi’s Sufism has not only flourished in Turkey, where the sufi was born, but also in many other far-flung world regions such as Nusantara. Its worldwide success invites many questions, for example, the reasons for its ability to attract both Muslims and non-Muslims. In Pidie, Aceh, Indonesia, one of its popular aspects is the sema ritual dance, which has spread to other Aceh sufi orders (tariqa), especially the Naqshbandi sufi order. This dance is an adaptation of foreign teaching and performance to local context in the location of the study, the village of Lampôh Saka in Pidie. Aceh’s sufi orders have succeeded in synthesizing foreign and local culture to create something uniquely their own. This study could offer an example of how to develop harmony and peace in Indonesian life, as exemplified by the sema dance, which symbolizes care towards creation while maintaining submission to the Creator
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
