    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

    Praise and blame as the portrayal of Holy Qur'an's moral values in Minaret by Leila Aboulela

    Morality can be manifested as the significant aspect in literature. It concerns to the behavior of human beings, which ought to or not to be acted. It is also related to religion as in the privilege on Islam—the Holy Qur’an is fundamentally used as the source of Islamic law that influences their ideology and morality. On that account, Minaret has been chosen to be scrutinized which considered as an outstanding novel in describing Islam also West culture. Due to this, the researcher then proposed two problems: 1) How to classify the statements of praise and blame as the portrayal of Holy Qur’an’s moral values in Minaret by Leila Aboulela? 2) How is the ideology of Leila Aboulela represented through praise and blame as the portrayal of Holy Qur’an’s moral values? In order to make an arguable and reasonable elaboration, the theory of morality of literary criticism by Ibn Rushd used to construct the theoretical point to solve the problem. The researcher used qualitative research and sustained by qualitative approach to make a subjective assessment of attitudes and opinions so that found the conclusion of the analysis. The result of this research showed that the novel absolutely has the both of classifications and represented the ideology of the writer. There are twenty two statements that classified as praise that referred to the act of God-conscious, optimism, forbearance, and obedience—which is known as virtue. The praise behaviors assist the character to be a better Muslim and confident to face the fate. Whereas the data analysis of the classification of blame found thirteen data, which has one for each data such as humiliating social rank/degree, denying the guidance of God, being selfish, pessimistic, and free-sex (fornication and adultery) are found amount to two data—those are included to vice.The blaming behavior is identified as a kind of disobedient Muslims. Furthermore, the researcher found that Aboulela is a Muslim writer who used Islamic element (shari’a law) that Islam becomes her ideology and identity as possessed values, a sense of purpose and rootedness. It is how Aboulela represented her ideology to Minaret. Thus, it can be concluded that the novel is legibly identified and classified as a virtue- novel due to the result of dominant classifications (praise classifications) which also showed the ideology of the author

    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

    Full text link
    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

    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
