    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    Many Muslims who come out of their religion and embrace other religions with a variety of motives and reasons depending on their respective interests. This phenomenon seems to be a trend and lifestyle in the midst of the swift currents of globalization, democratic life, respect for Human right and religious freedom.  In Islamic Criminal Law, apostasy (murtad) is a crime that is included in jarimah hudud. The punishment for apostates/riddah is the death penalty, and in the hereafter will get a reply in hell, this is in accordance with the message contained in the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad. This article explains the differences of opinion of the ulama regarding the punishment for the perpetrators of riddah / apostasy. Al-Qur'an does not specifically explain the punishment for apostates, it only stipulates the vanity of charity and in the hereafter will be given severe punishment. In the hadith of the Prophet which expressly punishes apostates with the death penalty. From the two sources of Islamic law as if there was a conflict. Therefore, it is very interesting to study considering that the problem of riddah is one of the problems in the study of Islamic criminal law which is always a concern of ulama and experts in contemporary Islamic law.  Keywords: Riddah/Apostasy, Death penalty, Jarimah,  Ta`zi

    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

    Epistemologi Hukum Islam dan Sistem Peradilan dalam Islam

    Full text link
    Hukum Islam tidak dapat dipisahkan dari realitas masyarakat. Untuk dapat menjabarkan ketentuan-ketentuan yang terkandung dalam hukum Islam diperlukan lembaga peradilan yang dalam Islam disebut al-Qadha?. Al-Qadha? diperlukan untuk mengatur masalah-masalah yang tumbuh dalam masyarakat sehubungan dengan tingkah laku manusia yang senang kepada kebendaan dan bersifat mementingkan diri sendiri. Lembaga peradilan ini merupakan wujud dari suatu realisasi sosial. Dalam hubungan ini terlihat bahwa hukum Islam bukanlah sekedar ketentuan yang dipaksakan dari luar masyarakat, karena lembaga peradilan yang menguji berlaku atau tidaknya ketentuan hukum tersebut, ditentukan oleh bentuk kekuasaan yang ada dalam masyarakat. Tulisan ini mengemukakan kajian epistemologis hukum Islam yang diawali dengan menguraikan tentang definisi hukum Islam dari berbagai pandangan tokoh Islam, kemudian diuraikan juga sumber hukum Islam, dan diakhiri dengan sejarah dan sistem peradilan dalam Islam

    The history records that the ulama played an important role for the development of Islam in the Nusantara, and even played an active role in the Indonesian independence process. They are the best sons of the nation who take Islamic scholarship directly at the center of the decline of Islamic doctrine. In the field of hadith (sanad & ijazah), the ulama Nusantara take an important position as ulama / teacher of hadith, so that some of them become mahaguru of the claimants of hadith knowledge from all country of the world and immediately give a ijazah. It aims to maintain the authenticity of the sanad and matan of hadis that originate from the Rasulullah oral remit from the forgery of hadith.The study of local ulama in the process of transmitting hadis in Indonesia, especially in eastern Indonesia, is very rarely found in the literature. Therefore, this study becomes important to be raised in a paper as a discourse, and also to fill the gap.This article will examine one of the Tuan Guru as a local ulama from Bima who was connected to the ulama network in the twentieth century and is also one of the local ulama who inherited the tradition of narration of traditions
