    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    FILANTROPI ISLAM DAN DUNIA PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA (1999-2011)

    Full text link
    Istilah filantropi masih menjadi hal asing bagi masyarakat Indonesia secara umum. Pada hakikatnya praktik-praktik filantropi sudah lekat dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Di Indonesia praktik filantropi Islam sudah ada sejak Islam masuk di Nusantara dan berkembang pada awal abad ke-20 bersamaan dengan munculnya organisasi masyarakat Islam. Pengelolaan filantropi Islam semakin modern sejak munculnya lembaga-lembaga filantropi Islam pada masa akhir Orde Baru. Filantropi Islam sejak dahulu sudah mempunyai andil terhadap dunia pendidikan, terbukti dengan adanya lembaga pendidikan baik berupa madrasah, sekolah, pondok pesantren yang tidak lepas dari peran wakaf. Dengan sistem pengelolaan filantropi yang lebih modern dan canggih, filantropi pada bidang pendidikan tidak hanya berfokus pada penyediaan infrastruktur lagi, tetapi juga fokus terhadap kompetensi pengajar dan peserta didik. Pokok permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah tentang kontribusi lembaga filantropi Islam pada bidang pendidikan di Indonesia. Untuk analisis, peneliti menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi. Konsep yang digunakan adalah pendidikan dan filantropi. Teori fungsional milik Talcott Parsons dengan skema AGIL-nya digunakan peneliti untuk mengkaji lebih jauh tentang kontribusi lembaga filantropi Islam pada bidang pendidikan. Penelitian ini memakai metode sejarah yang meliputi empat tahapan, yaitu: heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa lembaga-lembaga filantropi Islam yang ada di Indonesia memiliki kontribusi dalam bidang pendidikan. Praktik filantropi Islam dalam bidang pendidikan terlacak sejak awal abad ke-20 dengan adanya gerakan-gerakan Ormas Islam. Pendayagunaan dana filantropi Islam dalam bidang pendidikan berupa pembangunan lembaga pendidikan; fasilitas pendidikan, pemberian beasiswa, dan program-program pengembangan dan pelatihan yang menunjang mutu pendidikan

    One of Indonesia\u27s attractive cultures is available in the Javanese culture, especially in marriage tradition. Javanese marriage has been practiced in the forms of ritual or traditional ceremonies one of which is Jilu marriage. Jilu marriage is a customary law that prohibits a marriage between the fisrt child and the third child. Javanese people believe that the transgression of this law may bring about misfortune. This study explores how millennial generations view this tradition This research was conducted by using qualitative and quantitative approaches. Methods of collecting data include interview, literature review, and questionnaire. Quantitative data relies upon the statistic method while qualitative data is analyzed by reducing, exposing, and making conclusion. The study found that the mythology of Jilu marriage derives from Javanese ancestors\u27 beliefs that regard number 3 as sacred number. Interestingly, millennials views of this can be categorized into three groups: those who believe, those who do not take it into consideration, and those who are neutral. Salah satu budaya di Indonesia yang menarik untuk dikaji adalah budaya Jawa. Salah satunya terletak pada bidang pernikahan. Dalam melaksanakan pernikahan ada serangkaian ritual atau upacara adat yang harus dilaksanakan. Salah satu aturannya adalah dilarang melakukan pernikahan Jilu, yakni menikahkan anak nomor satu dengan anak nomor tiga karena dipercaya akan mendatangkan malapetaka. Pada era modern masyarakat Jawa masih ada yang percaya terhadap tradisi tersebut dan ada juga yang sudah meninggalkan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan deskripsi tentang mitos pernikahan Jilu dan pendapat generasi milenial tentang mitos tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara, studi pustaka, dan kuesioner. Data kuantitatif yang ada dianalis dan disajikan dengan model statistika (diagram batang dan lingkaran) dan dilakukan penarikan kesimpulan, sedangkan data kualitatif dianalisis dengan cara mereduksi serta memaparkan data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan mitos pernikahan Jilu berasal dari kepercayaan nenek moyang suku Jawa yang mengkeramatkan angka 3 dan dampaknya sering terjadi karena menjadi guneman masyarakat. Generasi milenial di Nganjuk ada yang percaya dengan tradisi Jilu, ada yang tidak percaya, dan ada yang bersikap netral
