    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

    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

    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

    The realization of Islam Rahmatan Lil\u27alamin both in the world in general and in Indonesia in particular is facing problems such as violence, extremism, radicalism, and terrorism on behalf of Islamic religion.

Rahmatan Lil\u27alamin as an embodiment of Islamic ideals in nationality can be acctualized by 3 (three) ways, namely: (1) have extensive knowledge and understand the development of technology and science; (2) Not the emotion in Bergama; and (3) be careful in every speech, deed, and action

    The Role of the People in the Amendment of the 1945 Constitution Based on Democratic Constitution Making: Future Prospects

    Full text link
    The amendments to the 1945 Constitution allegedly are not in line with the expectations of a democratic constitution. In fact, the role of the people in four amendments to the 1945 Constitution was very limited. The people who were involved in the amendment processes represented limited number of groups. Incidentally, only people with important and dominant powers were involved. The people were also not involved from the beginning of the amendment processes. Therefore, the role of the people in the amendments had not been carried out optimally. The results of the study show that the role of the people directly and actively in the amendment could increase transparency and public trust towards the government. The people are expected to be more responsive, accommodating, aspirational, and participatory to give rise to a match between the will of the people and the wishes of the government in the realization of the ideals of the Indonesian nation. The direct and active role of the people can be realized through conventional media, print media, and electronic media in a structured and systematic manner. It is expected that the people’s role will be able to strengthen the Indonesian constitutional system and economic, political, social, and cultural stability, as well as the defense and security of the Republic of Indonesia. In addition, the direct involvement of the people is expected to be in line with the optimization of the role of the Constitutional Court as the ‘guardian of the constitution’ to maintain the purity of the 1945 Constitution.Peran Rakyat dalam Perubahan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 Berdasarkan Democratic Constitution Making: Prospek Masa Depan AbstrakPerubahan UUD 1945 yang telah dilakukan disinyalir masih jauh dari ekspektasi suatu pembentukan konstitusi yang demokratis. Faktanya, peran rakyat dalam 4 (empat) kali perubahan UUD 1945 sangatlah terbatas. Rakyat yang terlibat dalam proses amandemen hanya mewakili golongan tertentu saja dan notabene mempunyai kekuatan yang penting dan dominan. Rakyat juga tidak dilibatkan dari awal proses perubahan UUD 1945, sehingga peran rakyat dalam perubahan UUD 1945 secara aktif belum terlaksana secara optimal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran rakyat secara langsung dan aktif dalam perubahan UUD 1945 dapat meningkatkan transparansi dan kepercayaan publik terhadap pemerintah. Rakyat diharapkan lebih responsif, akomodatif, aspiratif dan partisipatif sehingga akan terwujud kesesuaian antara kehendak rakyat dan keinginan pemerintah dalam mewujudkan cita-cita bangsa Indonesia. Peran rakyat secara langsung dan aktif dapat diwujudkan melalui media konvensional, media cetak bahkan media elektronik yang dilakukan secara terstruktur dan sistematis. Diharapkan dengan peran rakyat ini akan mampu memperkokoh sistem ketatanegaraan Indonesia, stabilitas ekonomi, politik, sosial, dan budaya serta pertahanan dan keamanan NKRI. Sebagai tambahan, pelibatan peran rakyat secara langsung ini diharapkan akan sejalan dengan optimalisasi peran Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai institusi “pengawal konstitusi” guna tetap menjaga kemurnian UUD 1945.Kata kunci: Democratic Constitution Making, Prospek Masa Depan, UUD NKRI 1945.DOI: https://doi.org/10.22304/pjih.v7n1.a2  The amendments to the 1945 Constitution allegedly are not in line with the expectations of a democratic constitution.

    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
