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
PEMAHAMAN HADIS-HADIS RUKYAT HILAL DAN RELASINYA DENGAN REALITA ISBÂT RAMADHAN DI INDONESIA
Full text linkIt has become customary that every Muslim anywhere in the world are obliged to fast during Ramadan. One of the annual problems that always appear at the Ramadan is the determination of the beginning and end of Ramadan by sighting the moon. On the orders of the Prophet Muhammad, the determination of Ramadan should be done at the end of the month of Sha'ban. The beginning and end of Ramadan is determined by the appearance of the crescent moon. Such activity is known by rukyat hilal. In its history, the Prophet explained that the methodology of the determination of the beginning and end of Ramadan is sighting the crescent moon with eyes. If sight is obstructed by natural phenomena such as cloud cover, the day of the month of Sha'ban accomplished to 30 days. Contemporary, classic visual method has been carried out with the use of modern tools. Problems often arise because of differences in the understanding the passages of sunnah related to this. Some considered that the hilal rukyat commanded by the Prophet Muhammad is rukyat fi'liyyah while others considered that it is more accurate to use rukyat 'Ilmiyyah with the arithmetic method of calculation (hisab). In Indonesia, the different interpretation and understanding that always makes a difference in executing the fasting and Idul Fitri

Moderasi Islam Era Milenial (Ummatan Wasathan Dalam Moderasi Islam Karya Muchlis Hanafi)
No full textThe radical or extreme attitude in religion is not a new phenomenon in Islamic history. Since the earliest period, several religious groups have shown this extreme attitude. Today, the issue of religious-based radicalism is not something that was exhaled just a few days ago. The issue of radicalism has become a global agenda to corner Islam. For some circles in Islam, the issue of radicalism is only propaganda to bring down the dignity and height of Islam. The focus of this paper is not to dismantle and tell a series of acts of terror on the grounds of religion. This article is a reviewer of Islamic Moderation books; Counteracting Religious-Based Radicalism written by Muchlis Hanafi, an expert on the Interpretation of the Indonesian Qur'an. The book with ISBN 978-602-18476-1-9 was published by the Al-Azhar Alumni Association and the Jakarta Qur'an Study Center and first published in 2013 with 295 pages in thickness. Until today, an explanation of the concept of Islamic moderation based on the Koran by promoting the term Wasath as a form of moderate attitude is still very rarely written and presented scientifically like the book of Islamic Moderation; Counteracting Religious-Based Radicalism. The concept of moderation by interpreting the meaning of Wasath is a step forward in proving the relevance of the Qur'an to the times. Both from the aspect of the meaning of language and concrete attitude in everyday life
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
