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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
TRANSFORMASI HUKUM ISLAM KE DALAM BENTUK QANUN DAULI DUSTURI
This article out lines nasalah Transformation of Islamic lawin the form of Qabun Dauli Dusturi. From there sults of the discussion can be understood that Islamic law in some modern state can be viewed from two aspects; Islamic law applicable formal judicial and normative, which is described by the three forms of implementation of Islamic law, namely: (1) the implementation of Islamic law through state intervention, by form alizing Islamic law instate legislation. (2) The implementation of Islamic law by way of transformation of the values of Islamic law in the system of state regulation, without form alizing symbolically. (3) The implementation of Islamic law to separate the religious affairs of the state structure, so that the implementation of Islamic law is categorizedas an individual problem. Construction methodology of Islamic law in general consistof: Patterns Bayani, Ta'lili and Istilahi. Viewed from the standpoint of methodology, the phenomenon of Islamic legal thought in general shows that there are at least twoways of thinkingt hat; Islamic legal thought liberal and conservative Islamic legal thought textual

PENERAPAN MANHAJ TERHADAP PENGUATAN FIKIH KADERISASI ULAMA PONDOK PESANTREN AS’ADIYAH SENGKANG
This paper discusses about the tradition of fiqh Madzhab in manhaji in scholars regeneration at Islamic boarding schools As’adiyah Sengkang. The focus of the study is the fiqh construction of Ma’had al-Aliy and implementation of Ma'had al-Qaeda Usuliyah in strengthening fiqh Ma’had al-'Aliy at Islamic boarding schools As’adiyah Sengkang. The approach of this study is a qualitative descriptive approach. It is concluded that the fiqh construction of Islamic boarding school As'adiyah is determined by scholars because they have full authority to lead and to determine the reference books of jurisprudence at the school. Then, the application of the methodology of fiqh can be seen in the use of the rules: (1) fiqhiyah; al-Umuru bi maqashidiha regard to the intention of ablution, (2) lughawiyah; in terms of mulamasah and permissibility mengqashar and shorten pray only for those on trip by using using Zahir meaning, not Majazi, and (3) ushuliyah in the distribution of tithes to eight asnaf
