Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
Analisis Pengaruh Pelaksanaan Good Corporate Governance (Gcg) Terhadap Pencapaian Maqashid Syariah Di Perbankan Syariah Indonesia (Tahun 2012-2015)
Full text linkPerbankan syariah sebagai bisnis yang beroperasi dengan prinsip dan sistem syariah seharusnya menjalankan bisnis berdasarkan maqashid syariah (tujuan syariah). Pengungkapan kinerja perbankan syariah dapat diukur dengan sharia maqashid index (SMI) yang mana membedakannya dengan perbankan lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh implementasi good corporate governance (GCG) perspektif maqashid syariah yang diukur dengan sharia maqashid index pada bank umum syariah di Indonesia selama periode 2012-2014. Terdapat 8 bank umum syariah yang menjadi sampel dalam penelitian, sehingga ada 32 laporan tahunan BUS yang diperoleh dengan teknik purposive sampling. Metode penelitan ini adalah kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis regresi berganda. Analisis dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variabel ukuran dewan komisaris, dewan pengawas syariah, dan dewan direksi terhadap pencapaian nilai sharia maqashid index (SMI) di bank umum syariah di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keseluruhan variabel independen berpengaruh simultan terhadap pencapaian SMI. Namun berdasarkan hanya variabel dewan komisaris yang berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap pencapai nilai SMI. Sedangkan, variabel dewan pengawas syariah dan dewan direksi tidak berpengaruh terhadap pencapaian nilai SMI
Designing Salam-Muzara’ah Linked Waqf to Financing Agricultural Sector
Full text linkThe main objective of this study is to propose an innovative integrated financing model at the microfinance level for the agricultural sector and how to mitigate the risk associated with the model. In the study, we perform in-depth interviews of experts and gather secondary data from relevant sources. The proposed model is called Salam-Muzara’ah Linked Waqf (SMW) as a sharia-compliant scheme that integrates Islamic commercial finance through the salam and muzara’ah contract with Islamic social finance through the utilization of cash waqf return as well as using the idle waqf land as agricultural lands to be implemented by Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT). In the model, the risk of commodities delivered by farmers to BMT is subsidized or borrowed by Nazhir of waqf land while the surplus of cash waqf is distributed to cover Murabaha margin of necessary agricultural equipment purchased from BMT. This research is expected to solve the problem of limited land and financing as well as to create innovation and inclusiveness of Islamic financial products through the synergy of all parties in the agricultural sector
The Role of Religiosity in Explaining the Intention to use Islamic FinTech Among MSME Actors
Full text linkIslamic FinTech is growing rapidly and has become a new alternative of financing for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) which are the backbone of the national economy. This study aims to examine the role of religiosity level of MSMEs actors on the intention to use Islamic FinTech. This research employed Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The data collected using an online questionnaire adapted from previous research, then distributed to 100 Indonesian MSME actors and analyzed using smart PLS. The main result indicated religiosity plays a positively significant role in explaining the intention to use Islamic FinTech. In addition, Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Subjective Norm (SN) were also found to be influential, while both, Attitude Toward Behavior (ATB) and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), have no significant effect on behavioral intention. This research implicates the need for collaboration between the Financial Services Authority (OJK) as the regulator with Islamic FinTech institutions to improve literacy, providing incentives, strengthening consumer data protection, as well as integrating the values from the religious anglein the concept and practice of FinTech product and services that are based on Islamic guideline in order to attract the users from MSME actors
Islamic FinTech and MSMEs: The Role of Religiosity and Product Knowledge
Full text linkAs the backbone of the national economy which is still struggling with the financing problem, prior studies on the intention to use Islamic FinTech for MSMEs are still rare. This study aims to examine whether both the religiosity (R) and product knowledge (PK) on Islamic FinTech products and services affect the intention to adopt it or not. A total of 100 responses were collected using an online questionnaire and then examined using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that subjective norm (SN), perceived usefulness (PU), as well as R, and PK significantly influence the intention to get financing and use the services offered. It is indicated that Indonesian MSMEs actors are getting aware and knowledgeable about sharia compliance of FinTech products. Likewise, the influence of social norms such as religious leaders and or the business environment also strengthens the intention. This means that there is a need for continuous efforts from the stakeholders by cooperating with sharia scholars in improving the Islamic financial literacy in order to eliminate the doubts on the practical side. This needs to be followed by strengthening consumer data protection as well as providing incentives in order to enlarge the industrial market share
