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
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

Implementasi Mediasi dan Relevansinya terhadap Hak-Hak Perempuan dan Anak (Studi Kasus di PA Probolinggo)
Full text linkAbstract: This study aims to examine the implementation of mediation in resolving disputes related to women's and children's rights at the Probolinggo Religious Court. Mediation as an alternative method of dispute resolution is considered relevant in providing space for peaceful resolution and prioritizing the best interests of women and children involved in divorce cases, child custody, and division of joint property. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study at the Probolinggo Religious Court, which involves an analysis of the mediation process carried out by mediators in the court and its impact on women's and children's rights. The results of the study indicate that although mediation provides an opportunity for the parties to reach a fair and peaceful agreement, there are challenges in ensuring that women's and children's rights are properly protected in the mediation process. Factors such as legal awareness, mediator understanding, and social pressure often influence the course of mediation. This study suggests the need to increase the capacity of mediators and more intensive assistance to ensure that the implementation of mediation can truly provide maximum benefits for women's and children's rights.Keywords: Mediation, Women's Rights, Children's Rights, Dispute Resolution, Religious Court Probolinggo. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi mediasi dalam penyelesaian sengketa terkait hak-hak perempuan dan anak di Pengadilan Agama Probolinggo. Mediasi sebagai metode alternatif penyelesaian sengketa dianggap relevan dalam memberikan ruang bagi penyelesaian secara damai dan mengutamakan kepentingan terbaik bagi perempuan dan anak yang terlibat dalam kasus perceraian, hak asuh anak, dan pembagian harta gono-gini. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kasus di Pengadilan Agama Probolinggo, yang melibatkan analisis terhadap proses mediasi yang dilakukan oleh mediator di pengadilan tersebut serta dampaknya terhadap hak-hak perempuan dan anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun mediasi memberikan kesempatan bagi para pihak untuk mencapai kesepakatan yang adil dan damai, terdapat tantangan dalam memastikan bahwa hak-hak perempuan dan anak terlindungi dengan baik dalam proses mediasi. Faktor-faktor seperti kesadaran hukum, pemahaman mediator, serta tekanan sosial sering mempengaruhi jalannya mediasi. Penelitian ini menyarankan perlunya peningkatan kapasitas mediator serta pendampingan yang lebih intensif untuk memastikan implementasi mediasi dapat benar-benar memberikan manfaat maksimal bagi hak-hak perempuan dan anak.Kata Kunci: Mediasi, Hak-Hak Perempuan, Hak-Hak Anak, Penyelesaian Sengketa, Pengadilan Agama Probolinggo
Perspektif Hukum Islam Tentang Tradisi Muang Cangcalah Bagi Masyarakat Karanganyar Kecamatan Bantaran
Full text linkThis study discusses the Muang Cangcalah tradition carried out by the Karanganyar community, Probolinggo, as a response to death. This study uses a qualitative method in data collection. The tradition reflects social values such as empathy, solidarity, and preservation of local culture. From the perspective of Islamic law, this tradition can be categorized as ‘urf sahih as long as it is not accompanied by the belief that objects such as small change, coins, or yellow rice have supernatural powers to ward off disaster independently. As long as this practice is based on a straight intention and does not deviate from the creed of monotheism, then it does not conflict with Islamic law. However, if there are elements of belief that lead to shirk, guidance is needed to straighten out the community's understanding. This study recommends an educational approach in responding to this kind of tradition in order to maintain a balance between cultural preservation and the purity of Islamic creed.
Keywords: Islamic Law, Muang Cangcalah, ‘UrfPenelitian ini membahas tradisi Muang Cangcalah yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat Karanganyar, Probolinggo, sebagai respons terhadap peristiwa kematian. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dalam pengumpulan data. Tradisi tersebut mencerminkan nilai-nilai sosial seperti empati, solidaritas, dan pelestarian budaya lokal. Dari perspektif hukum Islam, tradisi ini dapat dikategorikan sebagai ‘urf shahih selama tidak disertai keyakinan bahwa benda-benda seperti uang receh, koin, atau beras kuning memiliki kekuatan gaib untuk menolak bala secara mandiri. Selama praktik ini dilandasi oleh niat yang lurus dan tidakmenyimpang dari akidah tauhid, maka tidak bertentangan dengan syariat Islam. Namun, jika terdapat unsur keyakinan yang mengarah pada syirik, perlu dilakukan pembinaan untuk meluruskan pemahaman masyarakat. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pendekatan edukatif dalam menyikapi tradisi semacam ini guna menjaga keseimbangan antara pelestarian budaya dan kemurnian akidah Islam.
