Diplomasi Islam Indonesia dalam Konteks Asia Tengga-ra: Analisis Peran Strategis Indonesia dalam ASEAN Interfaith Dialogue
Full text linkThis study examines how Indonesia implements Islamic diplomacy in the ASEAN Interfaith Dialogue as a regional soft power strategy. The problem formulation focuses on the effectiveness and challenges of Indonesia's moderate Islamic diplomacy in building regional tolerance. The objective is to analyze the strategies, actors, and impacts of this diplomacy in the context of ASEAN. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a single case study of Indonesia, supported by literature review and discourse analysis. The theories of soft power and norm entrepreneurship are used to understand the projection of Islamic wasathiyah values as an instrument of diplomacy. The results show that Indonesia's Islamic diplomacy has succeeded in establishing its position as a normative leader in the region through cooperation between the state and civil society. However, domestic inconsistency poses a serious challenge that could undermine its international legitimacy. In conclusion, Indonesia's Islamic diplomacy has the potential to be sustainable if it is supported by consistency in domestic and foreign values.Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana Indonesia mengimplementasikan diplomasi Islam dalam ASEAN Interfaith Dialogue sebagai strategi soft power kawasan.

Law as Strategy: The Weaponization of Trade Dispute Mechanisms in Sino-Western Relations
Full text linkThis article investigates the transformation of international trade law into a strategic instrument of geopolitical contestation, focusing on the legal rivalry between China and Western countries. Employing Lawfare Theory and Legal Realism, the study adopts an interdisciplinary method combining legal doctrine, international relations theories, and empirical case studies from WTO and ISDS mechanisms. The findings reveal that legal platforms originally designed for neutral dispute resolution have been repurposed as tools of statecraft. China’s increased legal engagement post-2018 signals a shift toward strategic legalism, where litigation serves as foreign policy. Meanwhile, the United States exercises unilateral legal strategies, undermining multilateral institutions. These actions reflect a broader erosion of legal neutrality, leading to procedural asymmetries that disadvantage Global South countries. The article concludes that without institutional reform and renewed global commitment to procedural justice, international legal mechanisms risk becoming arenas of symbolic dominance rather than fair adjudication. This trend challenges the foundational purpose of international law as a stabilizing force and invites critical reevaluation of legal norms amid a multipolar world order
Learning Outcomes on Intercultural Competence among Indonesian Exchange Students
Full text linkThis study explores the development of intercultural competence (ICC) among Indonesian exchange students in South Korea and the United States, focusing on their experiences of cultural adaptation and the development of key intercultural skills. Employing a qualitative research design, the study utilized semi-structured interviews with 20 Indonesian students to investigate how they navigated cultural differences and adapted to new environments. The results identify three key dimensions of ICC: emotional sensitivity, cultural awareness, and intercultural adaptability. Emotional sensitivity was crucial for managing culture shock and emotional adaptation to the host culture. Cultural awareness, which involved recognizing and understanding cultural differences, enabled students to adjust their perceptions and behaviors. Intercultural adaptability, the ability to modify communication styles and social practices, was essential for effective engagement in both academic and social settings. The study contributes to the existing body of literature on international student experiences by providing insights into the specific challenges faced by Indonesian students and offering practical recommendations for improving support systems to foster intercultural competence. The findings highlight the dynamic nature of ICC as a process that evolves through emotional, cognitive, and behavioral adjustments. Future research should focus on the long-term impacts of intercultural experiences on students' personal and professional lives, as well as the role of cultural contexts in shaping ICC development
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
