    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

    The Positive Fictional Principle After the Implementation of The Job Creation Law: A Prophetic Legal Paradigm

    Get PDF
    The positive fictitious principle in the Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation (CK Law) exists to facilitate investment and simplify licensing. However, the provisions in the CK Law, which exclude the role of the Administrative Court in fictitious applications have the potential to cause injustice and legal uncertainty in society. That research focuses on examining the positive fictitious principle's existence after the CK Law's enactment in the paradigm of prophetic law. The paradigm of prophetic regulation was chosen in this study as an effort to explore the theological (divine) and human dimensions in positive fictitious formulations as in CK Law. This research is a normative legal type of research with a concept and statutory approach. The results of the study confirm that in terms of the three aspects of prophetic law, namely transcendence, liberation, and humanization, the provisions of the CK Law, which no longer involve the role of the Administrative Court and have not issued Presidential Regulations regarding positive fiction can cause uncertainty and injustice in society. That makes the substance of the prophetic law in the positive fictitious provisions in the CK Law not be realized optimally. Orientation based on the prophetic legal paradigm in regulating the positive fictitious principle after regulation in the CK Law, according to the author, can be done by revising the positive fictitious provisions in the CK Law by returning the competence of the State Administrative Court

    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

    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

    PEMBANGUNAN SISTEM HUKUM EKONOMI INDONESIA BERLANDASKAN PADA NILAI PANCASILA DI ERA GLOBALISASI

    Globalisasi dan peningkatan pergaulan dan perdagangan internasional, cukup banyak peraturan-peraturan hukum asing atau yang bersifat internasional akan juga dituangkan ke dalam perundang-undangan nasional. Pembaharuan hukum ekonomi di Indonesia harus diarahkan untuk menciptakan kesejahteraan rakyat, dengan bertumpu pada nilainilai Pancasila sebagai falsafah dan pandangan hidup bangsa yang menjadi pedoman dalam pelaksanaan setiap sendi-sendi kehidupan berbangsa, bernegara dan bermasyarakat. Dalam Pancasila terkandung prinsip gotong royong, dan itu sejatinya inti dari pembaharuan hukum ekonomi yang menempatkan kegotongroyongan sebagai nilai yang harus diwujudkan dalam rumusan-rumusan peraturan perundang-undangan yang kemudian menjadi dasar dalam mewujudkan kesejahteraan sosial. Pembentukan peraturan per-uu yang terarah melalui Prolegnas diharapkan dapat mengarahkan pembangunan hukum, mewujudkan konsistensi peraturan per-UU, serta menghindari adanya disharmonis peraturan per-UU, baik yang bersifat vertikal maupun horizontal
