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
When Lying Becomes An Ordinary Thing: Ethics in The Post-Truth Era
Full text linkIn Indonesia, the post-truth phenomenon is usually seen more often as a literacy or legal problem. In fact, when understood as new forms of political dishonesty, post-truth must be seen as an ethical problem. This study examines the post-truth phenomenon that takes place in the political reality in Indonesia using communication ethic. The study uses two methods, rhetorical analysis to analysis of Hoax spread on social media and participatory observations in WhatsApp groups. This study found that post-truth basically occurs because of the low ethics of media users in producing, consuming, and sharing social media content. They intentionally created “dishonest facts” in order to achieve their own goals. People involved in post-truth are very ideological and lack social sensitivity. They only care about the narratives they want to build and receive. So, the truth becomes less important. This research suggests that political communication in the post-truth era must be based on the ethics of communication in order to build a strong and stable democracy, and people who use social media must consider the ethics of communicatio
Kegagalan Jurnalisme Profesional dan Kemunculan Jurnalisme Publik
No full textThere are plenty of critics coming upon the professional journalism or on the journalism that rises up the objectivity and neutrality. Professional journalism is believed has failed to cover the democratization of political system and citizens. On the other hand, attempts on running over the objectivity and neutrality make it trapped on the higher orientation, to the public figures. In facing those kind of weakness, public journalism is coming over it The basic orientation is how journalism ought to make itself as easy as possible for citizens to make intelligent decisions about public affairs, and to get them carried ou
Moralitas Kebaikan dan Kesalehan di Seputar Tubuh dan Pakaian dalam Ruang Media Sosial
Full text linkPenelitian ini mengkaji wacana moralitas yang berpusat di sekitar tubuh dan pakaian di ruang media sosial. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan strategi netnografi di mana semua unggahan di media sosial dalam bentuk tulisan, foto, video dan bahkan emoticon dianggap sebagai data. Analisis menggunakan pendekatan Paula Saukko yang melihat teks tidak terlepas dari konteksnya. Dengan menganalisis unggahan dan komentar pada laman Instagram Salmafina, ini penelitian menunjukkan bahwa unggahan foto Salmafina dengan bikini telah memantik wacana moralitas di sekitar tubuh dan pakaian. Wacana itu dapat dilihat dari penilaian-penilaian terhadap pribadi Salmafina, dan menganggap baik buruk, shaleh tidaknya Salmafina berdasar pada pakaian yang digunakan. Wacana moralitas di sekitar tubuh dan pakaian tersebut tidak dapat dilepaskan dari konteksnya, yakni liberalisasi pasca-Orde Baru, kegairahan Islam dan peran agama dalam masyarakat, serta meluasnya penggunaan media sosial
