Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Women's Leadership in Tafsir Qur'an Surah an-Nisa: 34 Feminist and Classical Mufassir Perspectives
Get PDFهدفت هذه الدراسة إلى مناقشة دور المرأة القيادي في القرآن، وتحديدا في سورة النساء الآية ٣٤ في نظرة النسويات والمفسرين المتقدمين. وفقًا للنسوية ، فإن تفسيرات العلماء المتقدمين مليئة بالتحيز الجنساني وكراهية للنساء. لذلك يحاولون تفسير الآيات المتعلقة بالرجال والنساء بطرقهم وأساليبهم الخاصة من خلال تبني منهج تفسير الكتاب المقدس كما تمارسها النسوية المسيحية، أي منهج التأويل (الهرمنيوطيقا)، ويعطون الأولوية للتفسير المعقول من التفسير المأثور، مما ينتج عنه منتجات تفسير مختلفة. إلى المعاني الحقيقية المتضمنة في مشكلة القيادة المرأة. وعلى هذا الأساس، أجرى الباحثة بحثًا حول تفسير سورة النساء الآية ٣٤. هذه المقالة عبارة عن المنهج الوصفي المقارن مع المقربة الكيفية. من خلال دراسة مقارنة بين آراء النسويات والمفسرين المتقدمين في تفسير القيادة في سورة النساء الآية ٣٤، وجدت الباحثة أن هناك التباسًا في تفسير القرآن والذي فسره النسويون بما في ذلك قضية القيادة المرأة و رفض المفسرين المتقدمين في تفسير كلمة القرآن "القوام " في سورة النساء الآية ٣٤ التي يعتقد أنها تظهر تفوق الرجال على المرأة ويشعرن أن المرأة فقدت مصداقيتها. وحيث أن الإسلام رفع مكانة المرأة بحقوقها وواجباتها الشريفة ، حتى يلتزم الرجل برعايتها.This study aims to discuss women's leadership in the Qur'an surah an-Nisa verse 34 from the perspective of feminists and classical Mufassir. According to the understanding of feminism, the interpretation of classical Mufassir is full of gender bias and is misogynistic. So they try to interpret verses related to men and women included in the issue of women's leadership. On this basis, the authors researched the interpretation of surah an-Nisa verse 34, which is considered discrimination against women by the feminist movement. This study uses a descriptive-comparative method with a qualitative approach. Through a comparative analysis, the researcher found that there was confusion in the interpretation of the Qur'an, which was interpreted by feminists, including in the issue of women's leadership and rejected the classical exegetes in interpreting the word al- qowwam in surah an-Nisa verse 34 which according to him shows the superiority of men over women and feels that women are discredited
EPISTEMOLOGICAL STUDIES OF TAFSEER WITHOUT DOTS DÛRR AL-ASRᾹR BY MAHMUD IBN MUHAMMAD AL-HAMZAWI
Get PDFThe study of Dûrr al AsrÄr's interpretation epistemology by Mahmud Ibn Muhammad al Hamzawi is important because it has a special method that is rarely used by the majority, namely interpreting the Quran by using letters without dots. The use of this kind of interpretation seems to limit the interpreter in using the source of it and raises the hypothesis that this is a pure interpretation of bi al-ma 'qul. The focus of this study is to examine the sources, methods, and validity of interpretation. By descriptive analysis, this study concludes that the epistemological basis of Dûrr al AsrÄr by Mahmud Ibn Muhammad al Hamzawi is a combination of bi al-ma'tsur and bi al ma'qul, both of which dominate the language source, so this is called tafsir bi al-ma ' qul or bi al-ra'y. This method is globally and in lughawi and fiqhi styles. While the validity of Mahmud Ibn Muhamamd al-Hamzawi's interpretation after being tested with the theory of al-Asil wa al-Dakhil Abdul Wahab fayed, this is included in the authentic interpretation, both in the source of the interpretation and the object of al-Dakhil which is not in it
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
