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
Contemporary Malaysian art: the integration of Islamic values in new trends and approaches since 1980 / Muhammad Faiz Sabri
Full text linkContemporary Islamic art has been recognized and was developed within the Malay
culture since the 13th century, where the Malay society formalized their culture based on
Islamic concepts and teachings. The years between 1980 and 1990 can be considered as a
revival period of Islamic art in Malaysia and became one of the main significant art forms
in the development of modern art at that time. However, in the 20th century, modern
global influences have given a ‘new meaning’ to contemporary Islamic art in Malaysia.
The Islamic Malay Cultural spirits have slowly missed their place in society. Therefore,
this research was conducted to understand in depth the view of contemporary Islamic art
in Malaysia from the year 1980 to the present by analyzing the concepts and philosophies
of Islam applied specifically in contemporary Islamic artwork. This research was
employed a qualitative type of research as a method, and the significance of this research
is the model developed, which refers to the case study as introduced by Creswell (2017).
Over 196 samples of contemporary Islamic artworks were collected based on five
prominent Islamic art exhibitions namely Pameran Seni Lukis & Seni Khat (1984),
Identiti Islam dalam Seni Rupa Malaysia: Pencapaian dan Cabaran (1992), Manifestasi
Jiwa Islam dalam Seni Rupa Malaysia (1993), Art and Sprirituality (1995), and Kesenian
Islam: Suatu Perspektif Malaysia (1995) and it has analyzed based on the four steps of art
criticism introduced by Edmund Feldman (1994), which consists of description, analysis,
interpretation and judgment. In defining certain Islamic concepts in selected artworks,
this research was referring to the principles of Islamic design introduced by Ismail Al-
Faruqi, which consist of abstraction, non-individualization, intricacy, successive
combination and repetition. The selection of the sample was based on the Islamic art
theme, which specifically focusing on a group of prominent Islamic art exhibitions that
were exhibited during a few decades. Apart from that, in order to support the
understanding of the view of contemporary Islamic art in Malaysia, the interview session
with Islamic art experts and academics were conducted and transcribed to see their
opinions and perceptions regarding the topic covered. This action was taken in
conjunction to enhance the understanding of the findings of this research. Consequently,
the analysis and findings of this research showed that the selection of the samples was
classified into four disciplines of art, namely painting, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed
media, as these forms of art still recognized and show it’s relevancy in Malaysian art
scene nowadays. On top of that, the findings of this research also found that the main
strategy that frequently used by Malaysian artists in producing contemporary Islamic
artworks are according to the five principles which have introduced by Ismail al-Faruqi
that consists of abstraction, non-individualization, intricacy, successive combination and
repetition. It is hoped that this research will contribute toward enhancing the view of
contemporary Islamic art specifically after the year of 1980, thus guiding contemporary
Muslim artists to appreciate and understand contemporary Islamic art well. Finally, it is
hoped to stimulate a potential emerging artist to create new expressions of contemporary
and innovative artworks while at the same time remaining true Islamic spirit
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
