    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Many traditional pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in Indonesia are undergoing dramatic change in curriculum, internal culture and student demographics. The most traditional of pesantren are referred to as salafiya, and their methods and texts have remained largely unchanged for generations. The system established by the founding ulama is perpetuated by his successors. Pesantrensalafiya focus entirely on religious education, particularly classical texts, and exclude general subjects. This paper will examine changes taking at Pondok Pesantren Lirboyo isone of the largest and most famous Pesantrensalafiya in Indonesia. In particular it will focus on the Ar-Risalah Integrated SalafiPondok Pesantrenat Lirboyo, which has helped pioneer a new form of �integrated� schooling within the pesantren. Ar-Risalah�s curriculum includes the study of general subjects, such science and mathematics, as well as the traditional Islamic subjects which have been the mainstray of Lirboyo for more than a century. This innovative combination of old and neweducational systems within a pesantren salafiya is rare in Indonesia

    Upaya Pesantren Mempersiapkan Kemandirian Ekonomi Santri di Era Revolusi Industri 4.0: Studi Kasus di Pondok Pesantren Ar-Risalah Lirboyo Kota Kediri

    This article discusses the breakthroughs made by Islamic boarding schools in order to equip students in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era so they are not left behind in the economic field. Although the Ar-Risalah Lirboyo Islamic Boarding School still adheres to salafiyah teachings, this pesantren prepares its students to be able to survive in today's era. This paper will discuss the background of efforts to prepare student economic independence, the implementation of student independence preparation programs, and student readiness to face the Industrial Revolution 4.0. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. In this study, data were obtained from two sources, namely humans and non-humans. Humans as informants in this study were caregivers, teacher, and students. While non-humans are documentation of Islamic boarding schools. The results of this study are caregivers who have a far-reaching vision to empower their students to live in their era. This vision is then realized by equipping students with IT teaching and mastery of foreign languages ??in the form of Arabic, English, Mandarin and Japanese. Apart from IT, students are also provided with life skill training. Ar-Risalah Islamic boarding school students are very ready to compete in the global world because they have mastered technology and foreign languages

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    We 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
