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
Terror on diplomats and diplomatic missions in the name of Jih?d: Islamic law perspective
No full textTerrorist attacks on diplomats and diplomatic facilities have been on the increase in recent years. It has often been argued that most of the terrorist attacks have been perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam. These attacks on diplomatic personnel and facilities have generally provoked some questions among international and Islamic law experts from which emanate the subject of discussion in this paper. This article intends to critically examine the following questions: what is the relationship between the concept of jih?d and terrorism?what is the legality or otherwise of non-State actors declaring jih?d?can diplomatic envoys and missions be subject of attack even during a lawfully declared jih?d?can the maiming or killing of unarmed civilians be justified based upon the principles of jih?d?does the dichotomisation of the world into d?r al-harb (the abode of war) and d?r al- Isl?m (the abode of Islam) have any relevance to the concept of jih?d?and what are the responses of Muslim States to these terrorist attacks and how do they treat such violation of the principles of international diplomatic law based on the criminal justice system of Islamic law? This article argues that even in a war situation, Islamic law dictates that diplomatic envoys and facilities must be safely protected. This article further argues that since the principles of jih?d are fundamentally diametrical to the act of terrorism, it will, therefore, be erroneous to equate the jih?d ideology with terror-violence
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
