    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Discussing on the development of tauhid-tasawuf in the archipelago certainly will not be separated from the Islamisation review of scientific treasury of Indonesia itself, because most spread of Islam in the archipelago is sufis’ merit. The spread of the tauhid-tasawuf teachings in Indonesia is closely associated with the kingdom of Samudera Pasai, because Samudera Pasai was an Islamic center of the archipelago which then continued to grow into a center of Islamic studies in Southeast Asia. A peak of tauhid-tasawuf development in Samudera Pasai-Aceh was in the 16th century and 17 M. The teaching and application of the values of Sufism or tauhid did not only grow among the people, but also in the officials’ palace. Many great scholars of the world, especially from the Arab peninsula came in the archipelago to Samudera Pasai, they are Hamzah Fansuri Aceh, Shamsuddin As-Sumatrani, Nuruddin Ar-Raniry and Syeick Abdurrauf As-Singkili. In this article, we try to assess and examine; 1) How were the nature and foundations of the tauhid-tasawuf perspective in the Quran. 2) How did the process of tauhid-tasawuf come in the archipelago? And 3) How was the development of Tauhid-Tasawuf in Indonesia? The results of the study can be concluded that 1) Sufism has a meaning that is very varied, but in conclusion, tasawuf is a group of people who purifies heart and soul for God. 2) The process in which tauhid-tasawuf in the archipelago, namely through the Samudera Pasai-Aceh led by Hamzah Shamsuddin Fansuri and As-Sumatrani in the 17th century AD and 3) The development of tauhid-tasawuf in Indonesia was very well-known even could come into the Palace where kingdom muftis in 16-17 century AD always were assisted by Sufis in taking decision and policies for the benefit of the people

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    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

    Education system for a nation to be essentially in accordance with the philosophy and culture itself. Taking over a system or idea in the field of education of other nations must be assessed by the application of existing cultural backgrounds. Therefore, to compare the educational systems of Germany and Australia also we need to adapt to the culture and philosophy of the nation. It is interesting in this discussion is the implementation of the education in the world has a different implementation in each country, so that it can be a barometer in improving the quality of education. In this paper writer try to educate how the structure of education and type of education, education management system, the system of education management organizations, educational assessment system, the financing of education and academic degrees as applicable comparative study of German and Australian education to improve the quality of education in Indonesia

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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
