    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

    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

    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

    Pengakuan dunia internasional akan wilayah udara sebagai bagian dari kedaulatan negara memberikan legitimasi yang kuat bagi Indonesia sebagai suatu negara yang luas. Namun kondisi ini dapat berubah manakala Indonesia tidak mampu menguasai wilayah kedirgantaraannya sebagai penopang ekonomi dan pertahanan nasional. Ditambah dengan masalah pelanggaran batas kedaulatan yang sering dilakukan oleh pesawat militer negara asing. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi tiga permasalahan, yaitu (1) bagaimana konsep kedaulatan negara di ruang udara menurut hukum internasional dan peraturan perundangan nasional, (2) apa saja bentuk pelanggaran kedaulatan negara di ruang udara nasional, dan (3) bagaimana upaya penegakan atas pelanggaran kedaulatan negara di ruang udara nasional dalam menjaga pertahanan negara. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach), pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach), serta pendekatan perbandingan (comparative approach). Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa (1) baik hukum internasional dan peraturan perundangan nasional telah mengukuhkan kedaulatan negara di ruang udara yang bersifat penuh dan utuh (complete and exclusive), (2) sejumlah insiden pelanggaran izin masuk dan melintasnya pesawat-pesawat asing ke wilayah udara Indonesia, di mana kebanyakan dari pesawat asing tersebut adalah pesawat militer, dan (3) upaya penegakan atas pelanggaran kedaulatan di wilayah ruang udara nasional, antara lain penegakan hukum terhadap pelanggaran wilayah udara kedaulatan Republik Indonesia dan pelanggaran terhadap kawasan udara terlarang, baik kawasan udara nasional maupun asing.International recognition of airspace as part of state sovereignty gives strong legitimacy to Indonesia as a wide country. However, this condition can be changed when Indonesia can’t control the airspace territory as a pillar of the economic and national defense. The problem increase with several sovereignty violations where that often perpetrated by military aircraft of foreign countries. This research was conducted by identifying three issues, those are (1) how does the concept of state sovereignty over the airspace according to international law and national legislation, (2) what kind of state sovereignty violation over the national airspace, and (3) how does the enforcement efforts on state sovereignty violations in the national airspace maintaining the country’s defense. The method of this research used normative legal research with statute approach, conceptual approach, and comparative approach. This research concluded (1) both the international law and national legislation have confirmed the country’s sovereignty over the airspace are complete and exclusive, (2) number of incidents of breach entry and passage of the foreign aircrafts to Indonesian airspace, which most of the foreign aircraft are military aircraft, and (3) the enforcement effort of sovereignty violations over the national airspace is law enforcement against sovereignty violations over the Republic of Indonesia airspace and the violation of prohibited airspace, both of national and foreign airspaces

    ABSTRACTThe background of this research is the increasing frequency of passengers or users of air transport services in Indonesia who complained about the airline services, especially flight delays problems in the implementation of air transport services. Thus, it is important to reveal how the implementation of the airline responsibility as a flight services provider to the passengers in case of flight delays according to the legislation that applies. The method used is a normative juridical research. Based on this research, the form of airlines responsibilities applied the concept of legal presumption of innocence responsibility. The legal protection to passengers as a result of delays can be proven with air tickets. A suggestion in this study is the government should provide clear and assertive provisions on sanctions against the airlines if it does not provide compensation due to the delays
