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
Perdagangan Orang dalam Perspektif HAM dan Filsafat Hukum Islam
Human trafficking becomes a new phenomenon in the modern century although its root has been existing since the ancient Greek era in the form of slavery. This crime currently occurs in many countries, as well as Indonesia. The government of every countries has tried to abolish the practice of human trafficking, but the results have been unsatisfied. Many people have become the victims of human trafficking and this phenomenon seems to continue to this day. This research aims to study about human trafficking phenomena based on the human right perspective, legislation in Indonesia, and the philosophy of Islamic law. By this study, it is clear that the practice of human trafficking becomes a part of humanity crimes that contradicts to human right and Indonesian legislation, and it is also contradicted to Islamic Sharia because it emasculates the basic human right as a freedom human being
STUDI ATAS PANDANGAN KAUM AGAMAWAN, PRAKTISI KESEHATAN DAN RESPONS MUI TERHADAP MASALAH ABORSI
Abortion is a classic problem that still continue to be discussed among experts and the public. It is perhaps because of the practice of abortion continues to occur from time to time with vary shapes and motifs. In Indonesia, talks and discussions on abortion also gone on long enough. The experts, both clerical and medical experts, involved in a heated debate on the issue of abortion. Nevertheless, the debate nevertheless did not come to fruition. On the other hand, the practices of abortion continues to occur in the wider community. The Council of Indonesian Ulama (MUI) felt obliged to give guidance to the Muslims in viewing and addressing the issue of abortion. In this case, the steps taken by the MUI issued a fatwa is the law. The MUI fatwa states that abortion is against their religion, so it must be prevented. But on the other hand, the institution of fatwa also gives room for the possibility of abortion if it is seen it will be able to bring good to the pregnant mother and her family
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
PEMBARUAN PEMIKIRAN HUKUM ISLAM: Studi tentang Teori Hudud Muhammad Syahrur
In the last few decades, the awareness of the importance of reforming Islamic legal thought has been increasing. This is triggered by the fact that the existing Islamic law is considered less able to respond to various problems that arise and develop in the modern world. As a result, Islamic law is seen or deemed to be incompatible with the times. This is of course contrary to the doctrine or belief that Islam is a plenary religion that will always be in harmony with the times. This anxiety also afflicted Muhammad Syahrur, prompting him to examine carefully and deeply the teachings of Islam, especially those contained in God's revelation. From his careful and profound study of God's revelation, Syahrur succeeded in formulating a theory of legal excavation which became known as hudud theory. This theory is expected to be a means to reform in the field of Islamic law. This paper will try to study the theory hudud (nazhariyyah al-hudud) offered by Syahrur.Kata Kunci: Muhammad Syahrur, teori hudud, pembaruan pemikiran hukum Isla
Marriage in the Age of Advancement of Digital Technology: Study of Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah Fatwa on the Legality of Marriage via Online
The phenomenon of online marriage contracts is starting to emerge and this raises issues regarding its validity. Majelis Tarjih dan Tajdid Muhammadiyah and Bahtsul Masail Nahdlatul Ulama have responded and issued fatwas related to this issue with different legal conclusions. This article examines and explains the causes of differences in fatwas and at the same time arguments issued by Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama regarding the law of online marriage contracts. Using the usul fiqh approach, this article finds two findings. First, there is a difference in fatwas between Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama due to differences in the legal istinbath method; Muhammadiyah uses the burhani method, while Nahdlatul Ulama uses the qauli method. Second, Muhammadiyah interprets the concept of ittihad majelis as a continuity of time between ijab and qabul, while Nahdlatul Ulama interprets it as a unitary place and not merely a unitary speech. This has implications for the legal status of online marriage contracts. Muhammadiyah considers online marriage contracts via online as a valid contract, while Nahdlatul Ulama considers it invalid
