    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” 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

    MANUSIA PUNCAK (STUDI PARALELISME FILSAFAT MARTIN HEIDEGGER DAN MULLÃ ŞADRÃ)

    Full text link
    Penelitian ini mengangkat pemikiran dua filsuf besar yaitu Martin Heidegger dan Mullā Şadrā dalam suatu kajian Filsafat Manusia dengan topik pembahasan ‘Manusia Puncak’. Problem yang diangkat adalah bagaimana kesejalanan atau kesebangunan struktur fundamen dari pemikiran keduanya mengenai manusia puncak. Dalam skripsi ini digunakan term manusia puncak untuk menggambarkan kondisi eksistensial manusia dalam keberadaannya yang konkret. Puncak dalam istilah manusia puncak berarti situasi temporal manusia saat berada dalam kondisi tertingginya yang melampaui manusia biasa. Penelitian ini berusaha mencari hakikat manusia puncak menurut pandangan Martin Heidegger dan Mullā Şadrā kemudian mensintesiskannya melalui metode paralelisme. Penelitian ini penulis rasa penting, disamping untuk memperkaya dialog pemikiran antar peradaban, juga karena kedua filsuf ini memiliki kesamaan prinsip ontologis dalam fondasi pemikirannya yaitu Ada. Pandangan ini kemudian disebut dengan reduksi ontologis. Keduanya yakin bahwa tidak ada problem filsafat yang dapat terselesaikan kecuali pertanyaan tentang Ada terjawab secara memadai. Konsekuensi dari pandangan reduksi ontologis ini kental dalam bangunan pemikiran keduanya, begitupun pemikiran mengenai manusia puncak yang muaranya adalah pencapaian hakikat Ada. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah metode komparatif khusus yaitu Paralelisme. Paralelisme adalah teori interpretasi atau metode komparasi khusus yang berupaya mencari kesebangunan formulasi pemikiran antara dua filsuf yang memiliki perbedaan konteks, penekanan, arah pemikiran dan solusi namun memiliki karakteristik yang sejalan, sebangun atau paralel. Temuan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa, Dasein otentik, dalam gagasan Heidegger tentang human-existence adalah kondisi eksistensial manusia ketika mengalami kontak atau penyingkapan hakikat makna Ada, sementara dalam filsafat Mullā Şadrā, Ada adalah dasar, fondasi atau sumber bagi segenap realitas yang mengejawantah secara gradual-hirarkis dalam ragamnya realitas mawjūd, dan manusia sempurna (al-insān al-kāmil) adalah muara atau manifestasi tertinggi dari Ada (Tuhan) itu. Ketika mencapai kondisi al-insān al-kāmil-lah manusia mengalami ketersingkapan Ada hakiki (Wujūd absolut). Berdasarkan metode paralelisme, ditemukan bahwa manusia puncak dalam pandangan kedua filsuf tersebut terdapat kesebangunan pemikiran, bahwa manusia, dalam hal ini manusia puncak menurut Heidegger dan Mullā Şadrā memiliki struktur fundamen yang sama yaitu otoperfektif. Manusia sebagai satu-satunya eksisten yang memiliki akses dengan Ada; sebagai manifestasi, individualisasi, partikularisasi (takhaṣṣuṣ) atau modalitas Ada (mode of Being, anhā al-wujūd), memiliki struktur fundamen otoperfektif yang berkarakteristik dinamis dan fluktuatif. Manusia selalu dalam proses menuju aktualitas puncaknya dan temporalitas melukiskan kedinamisan manusia dalam mengaktualisasikan potensialitasnya

    UNVEILING THE DIVERGENT NEEDS IN THE QUEST FOR RESOLUTION: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE 2016 DISPUTE BETWEEN THE ISLAMIC JIHAD FRONT AND ST. JAMES ALFEUS CHURCH IN YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA

    Full text link
    In 2016, the Islamic Jihad Front (FJI) organized a demonstration against the installation of a monumental statue depicting the face of Jesus at St. James Alfeus Church, located in Sendangsari Village, Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Despite the occurrence of this event some years ago, it is crucial to pursue a theoretical framework for analyzing this interfaith conflict in the field of Sociology of Religion. In light of this requirement, the objective of this study is to reassess the dispute between FJI and St. James Alfes Church by employing an onion clone conflict analysis that specifically examines the stances, desires, and requirements of both entities, namely the church and FJI. The research was undertaken using a process-tracing technique to gather extensive data on the causes and mechanisms of the dispute. The analytical results indicate that the disagreement did not facilitate integration due to FJI\u27s refusal to comply with the requests of St. Yaobus Alfeus Church. Conversely, each participant possesses distinct demands and interests that are not mutually comprehensible, hence reducing the likelihood of integration. This study suggests that effectively addressing interfaith disputes may be achieved by identifying and comprehending the individual needs of each participant involved.Pada 2016 lalu, Front Jihad Islam (FJI) menggelar aksi memprotes pendirian patung besar wajah Yesus di Gereja St. Yakobus Alfeus, Desa Sendangsari, Bantul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Meskipun peristiwa ini telah terjadi beberapa tahun silam, namun upaya untuk terus mencari kerangka teoritik untuk ‘membaca’ konflik lintas agama ini menjadi kebutuhan dalam studi Sosiologi Agama. Berdasarkan kebutuhan ini, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membaca ulang konflik FJI dengan Gereja St. Yakobus Alfes melalui the onion clonflict analysis yang berfokus pada posisi, kepentingan, dan kebutuhan kedua belah pihak, yaitu gereja dan FJI. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui process-tracing approach untuk mendapatkan data yang komprehensif tentang apa dan bagaimana konflik tersebut terjadi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa konflik tidak memunculkan peluang integrasi karena tidak diterimanya tuntutan dari FJI kepada Gereja St. Yaobus Alfeus. Pada sisi lain, masing-masing pihak memiliki kebutuhan dan kepentingan masing-masing yang tak bisa dipahami satu sama lain sehingga semakin memperkecil peluang integrasi. Penelitian ini selanjutnya memberikan rekomendasi bahwa penyelesaian konflik lintas agama dengan mengungkap masing-masing kebutuhan antar aktor akan berfungsi apabila kebutuhan tersebut dipahami dengan baik oleh masing-masing pihak

    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
