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
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
KONTROVERSI BUNGA BANK DALAM ISLAM: TELAAH KOMPARATIF YUSUF AL-QARDHAWI DAN MUHAMMAD SAYYID AL-THANTAWI
Full text linkAbstrak
Perbankan konvensional di Indonesia masih menjadi pilihan utama masyarakat dalam transaksi keuangan, meskipun terdapat perbedaan pandangan di kalangan ulama mengenai status hukum bunga bank. Yusuf Al-Qardhawi secara tegas mengharamkan bunga bank karena dianggap sebagai riba, sementara Muhammad Sayyid Al-Thantawi memperbolehkannya dalam kondisi yang adil dan transparan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan pandangan kedua ulama serta mengkaji relevansinya terhadap praktik perbankan di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan komparatif terhadap kitab-kitab karya kedua ulama serta regulasi perbankan di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem bunga dalam perbankan konvensional lebih sejalan dengan pandangan Muhammad Sayyid Al-Thantawi, karena diterapkan secara terbuka dan sesuai kesepakatan. Namun, sistem ini tetap bertentangan dengan prinsip yang dipegang oleh Yusuf Al-Qardhawi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peningkatan literasi keuangan syariah agar masyarakat memahami perbedaan antara sistem perbankan konvensional dan syariah serta dapat memilih layanan keuangan sesuai dengan keyakinannya. Selain itu, masyarakat diharapkan bersikap adil dalam menghadapi perbedaan pendapat ulama dengan tetap berpegang pada prinsip hukum Islam.

Abstract
Conventional banking in Indonesia remains the primary choice for financial transactions, despite differing views among Islamic scholars regarding the legal status of bank interest. Yusuf Al-Qardhawi firmly prohibits bank interest, considering it a form of riba, while Muhammad Sayyid Al-Thantawi permits it under fair and transparent conditions. This study aims to analyze the differing perspectives of these two scholars and assess their relevance to Indonesia’s banking practices. The research employs a normative legal approach with a comparative analysis of the scholars' works and Indonesia's banking regulations. The findings indicate that the interest system in conventional banking aligns more closely with Muhammad Sayyid Al-Thantawi’s perspective, as it is implemented transparently and based on mutual agreement. However, it remains inconsistent with Yusuf Al-Qardhawi’s principles. Therefore, increasing financial literacy in Islamic banking is essential to help the public understand the differences between conventional and Islamic banking systems and make informed financial decisions. Additionally, society is encouraged to approach scholarly differences with fairness and objectivity while adhering to Islamic legal principles.
