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
The Impact of Colonializm on the Spread of English in Modern India
No full textBritish colonialism in India at that time certainly had a lot of impact on the Indian state, one of which was in the field of language, namely English which became the second official language after Hindi. This article aims to explain how English also contributed to British colonization in India in many ways. The methods used in this research article will focus on how English affected the social structure, education, communication in Indian society both during the colonial and post-colonial periods. In addition, this article aims to provide a deeper understanding of how English was not only a tool of communication, but also a tool of domination and control in British colonialism in India. Thus English in India is not just a legacy left over from the colonial era but also a tool of social movement and progress in this modern era.

Faktor Faktor Penentu Loyalitas Pemain Game Online di Kalangan Milenial
Get PDFThis study aims to identify and analyze the determinants of online game player loyalty among millennials. The development of information technology and the internet has created a booming online gaming industry, with millennials being one of the main consumer segments in this industry. However, with high competition and many game options available, maintaining player loyalty is crucial to the success of game developers and providers. This research utilizes quantitative methods. Questionnaires were distributed to 173 respondents to collect quantitative data from a sample of millennial online game players. The results of data analysis show that the determinants of online game player loyalty among millennials include several aspects. First, gameplay quality and gaming experience are the main factors that influence player loyalty. In addition, interesting and quality content also contributes importantly to retaining players. Second, social interaction and in-game community support are significant factors in building emotional bonds and connections between players. Furthermore, fairness and transparency in the payment system and the ability to earn rewards and progress in the game are also determinants of loyalty. In addition, the availability of technical support and good game maintenance will increase player satisfaction and retention.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis faktor-faktor penentu loyalitas pemain game online di kalangan milenial.

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
Global Economic Inequality: A Critical Analysis of the Contribution of Islamic Economic Principles as an Alternative Solution
Get PDFThis study explores the contribution of Islamic economic principles as an alternative solution to global economic inequality. Through a literature review and critical analysis of related literature, this study found that Islamic economic principles, such as social justice, equitable distribution of wealth, and prohibition of usury, have the potential to reduce such inequality. However, challenges such as lack of understanding and awareness, inconsistent implementation, and regulatory barriers need to be overcome. Strategic measures are needed, including more widespread Islamic economic education, strong policy support, and collaboration between the government, financial institutions, and society. This research contributes to strengthening the understanding of the role of Islamic economics in addressing global economic inequality, with the hope of achieving more equitable and sustainable economic prosperity around the world
