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
Pandangan Ulama Konservatif dan Ulama Progresif tentang Tafsir Ayat Lâ Ikrâh fî al-Dîn
No full textThe verse lâ ikrâh fî al-dîn has been one of the most contested verses with regard to its meaning and definition by the ‘ulama (religious scholars) from the past to the present. Basing on this verse, progressive ‘ulama maintain that the idea of freedom of religion introduced by modern society does not contradict the Qur’ân. For them, freedom of religion includes not only freedom to convert to Islam, but also freedom to convert from Islam. This view is rejected by conservative ‘ulama who argue that the meaning of the verse contains only freedom to convert to Islam, not to convert from Islam. If non-Muslims are free to convert to Islam, Muslims are not allowed to convert from Islam. Moreover, there are many ‘ulama who argue that the verse has been abrogated by other tens of verses which enjoin to fight against infidels and polytheists. After the revelation of ‘verses of war’ in the Qur’ân, the verse lâ ikrâh fî al-dîn becomes no longer legally binding
Tafsir atas Hukum Murtad dalam Islam
Full text linkAbstract: An Exegesis on Apostasy Law in Islam. A discussion on apostasy almost spread throughout the corpus of Islamic law, both past and present. The concept of apostasy is now facing a serious challenge in a society that supports freedom of religion. Modern society tends to be of the opinion that the choice of individuals to enter or exit from a religion is a private matter that should not be interfered with by any authority. While Islamic jurisprudence, particularly that which is mainstream, further criminalizes apostates. Opening the entire argument about the concept of apostasy is a necessity. There are several verses of the Koran that speak of apostasy and there are various exegesis of apostasy which are discovered by scholars. There are scholars who criminalize apostates by referring to a Hadith, but there are also scholars who reject to have evidence of these Hadith.Keywords: apostasy, conversion, religious freedomAbstrak: Tafsir atas Hukum Murtad dalam Islam. Bahasan murtad hampir merata di seluruh korpus mengenai hukum Islam, baik dulu maupun sekarang. Konsep murtad kini menghadapi tantangan serius di tengah masyarakat yang mendukung kebebasan beragama. Masyarakat modern cenderung berpendirian bahwa pilihan seseorang untuk masuk atau keluar dari suatu agama adalah masalah privat yang tidak boleh diintervensi otoritas apapun. Sementara fikih Islam, terutama yang mainstream, lebih banyak mengkriminalkan orang murtad. Membuka seluruh argumen tentang konsep murtad adalah keniscayaan. Ada beberapa ayat Alquran yang membicarakan murtad dan ada beragam tafsir murtad yang dikemukakan para ulama. Ada ulama yang mengkriminalkan orang murtad dengan merujuk suatu Hadis, tetapi ada juga ulama yang menolak ber-hujjah dengan Hadis tersebut.Kata Kunci: murtad, pindah agama, kebebasan beragamaDOI: 10.15408/ajis.v13i2.940</p
TAFSIR ATAS POLIGAMI DALAM AL-QUR’AN
Full text linkPoligami tak pernah usai diperbincangkan. Ia bisa dilihat dari berbagai perspektif, mulai dari perspektif sosial-budaya hingga dari perspektif teologi- tafsir. Artikel ini fokus pada bagaimana ulama, dari dulu hingga sekarang, memperbincangkan soal poligami. Bagaimana tafsir mereka terhadap QS. Al- Nisâ’ [4]: 3 yang secara tekstual menyebut soal poligami. Menarik, setelah ditelusuri, ternyata tak ada pandangan tunggal tentang kebolehan poligami dalam konteks sekarang. Ada yang pro tanpa syarat, bahkan boleh bagi seorang suami untuk berpoligami hingga dengan sembilan istri secara sekaligus seperti dilakukan Nabi Muhammad Saw. Ada yang setuju poligami dengan persyaratan yang ketat. Dikatakan, tak setiap orang boleh berpoligami. Hanya dalam kondisi daruratlah poligami bisa ditoleransi. Artinya, dalam suasana normal, poligami tak bisa dilakukan. Pertanyaannya, siapa yang punya otoritas menentukan kondisi darurat itu? Di sinilah titik masalahnya. Karena kondisi darurat itu bisa bias dan subyektif, maka muncul kelompok berikutnya yang kontra poligami. Bagi kelompok terakhir ini jelas, zaman Nabi memang zaman poligami, tapi zaman sekarang seharusnya adalah zaman monogami. Menurut kelompok ini, yang dituju dari pembatasan poligami oleh Al-Qur’an adalah monogami.Copyright (c) 2015 by KARSA. All right reservedDOI: 10.19105/karsa.v23i1.613
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
