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
Дело Мухаммада Шарифа Мансурова : Российская империя и суфизм в Казахской степи в середине XIX века
No full textIn May 1854, Ishan Muhammad Sharif Mansurov was arrested at the fortress of Kapal in south-east Kazakhstan. The investigation into this case lasted nearly eight years and involved a variety of imperial institutions including the Muhammad Spiritual Assembly. Why was the figure of this mysterious Sufi of such interest to the officials? By the mid-nineteenth century, the incorporation of Central Asia into the Russian Empire coincided with the intensification of Islamophobia and a growing suspicion against itinerant Sufis (ishans). The examination of the Mansurov case indicates that colonial authorities simply ignored that publications about Sufism and Islam circulated within the empire. The circumstances of this epic and dramatic case allow us to argue that ignorance greatly weakened and destabilized the imperial policies of toleration of Islam. Nescient of Sufism, officials easily succumbed to information panic and spent a great deal of resources and effort investigating cases like Mansurov’s. Ignorance was the main source of Russians’ fears.En mai 1854, le soufi itinérant Mohammed Cherif Mansourov fut arrêté à la forteresse de Kapal dans le sud-est du Kazakhstan. L’examen de son cas dura une huitaine d’années et mobilisa diverses institutions impériales, dont l’Assemblée spirituelle Mohammed. Quelle était la raison de l’intérêt des pouvoirs publics pour cette personnalité mystérieuse du soufisme ? Au milieu du xixe siècle, l’intégration de l’Asie centrale à l’Empire russe a coïncidé avec une intensification de l’islamophobie et une méfiance grandissante à l’égard des soufis itinérants (ichans). L’analyse du cas Mansourov montre que les autorités coloniales n’étaient simplement pas au courant de l’existence de publications russes sur le soufisme et l’islam. Les circonstances de ce cas épique et dramatique permettent d’avancer la thèse que l’ignorance a beaucoup affaibli et déstabilisé la politique impériale de tolérance envers l’islam. Ignorants du soufisme, les pouvoirs publics cédaient facilement à la panique et consacraient leurs ressources et leurs efforts à des enquêtes sur des cas similaires à celui de Mansourov. L’ignorance fut la source principale de la peur des Russes
Фетвы ахуна Гумара Караша: муфтийат и правовые столкновения во Внутренней казахской орде в начале XX в.
Get PDFThe paper examines the peculiarities of the legal culture of Inner Kazakh Horde Muslims at the beginning of the 20th century. The key problem is the question of criteria for legality of fatwas. Despite the fact that the control over the issue of fatwas was the prerogative of the Mufti of the Orenburg Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly (OMDS = Muftiyat), in the regions of the Russian Empire there was a great variety in the implementation of such legal practice. In a number of cases, the ulema spread their own fatwas, ignoring the influence of the Muftiyat. One of these stories occurred in the Talovsky part of the Inner Horde, when the local ahun (ahund) Gumar Karash issued five fatwas. Part of the Kazakh society, including ukaznoy mullahs, took such actions as a challenge to their own authority. Pursuing personal interests, influential Kazakhs appealed to the UMDS with a request to check whether the legal opinions of Karash correspond to the Sharia. The position of the OMDS was determined by qadi Ginayatullah Kapkaev. According to his decision, one of the fatwas of the Kazakh Ahun did not conform to the doctrinal principles of the Hanafi madhhab. Analyzing this story, I come to the conclusion that, on the one hand, the indication of the illegality of fatwas was an instrument of power and manipulation among local Kazakhs; on the other hand, the clashes between the akhun and the OMDS indicate the existence of different approaches to understanding of the legal situation. In other words, disagreements arose on the basis of how to measure the doctrinal requirements of Hanafism with regional characteristics. Being unable to challenge the credibility of the legal sources of Karash, the OMDS accused Kazakh ahun of departing from the maturidic aqida and of mutazili propaganda. The paper is mainly based on archival materials. In addition, Arabic sources published in Muslim periodicals and books in Kazakh and Tatar of the early twentieth century are used.В статье рассматриваются особенности правовой культуры мусульман Внутренней казахской орды начала ХХ в. Ключевая проблема — это вопрос о критериях легальности фетв (фатва). Несмотря на то, что контроль над выпуском фетв был прерогативой муфтия Оренбургского магометанского духовного собрания (ОМДС = муфтийат), в регионах Российской империи наблюдалось большое разнообразие в осуществлении такой юридической практики. В ряде случаев улемы (‘алим) распространяли собственные фетвы, игнорируя влияние муфтийата. Одна из таких историй произошла в Таловской части Внутренней орды, когда местный ахун (ахунд) Гумар Караш выпустил пять фетв. Часть казахского общества, включая указных мулл, восприняла такие действия как вызов своему собственному авторитету и власти. Преследуя личные интересы, влиятельные казахи обратились в ОМДС с просьбой проверить, соответствуют ли легальные мнения Г. Караша шариату. Позицию ОМДС определил кади Гинаятулла Капкаев. Согласно его решению, одна из фетв казахского ахуна не соответствовала доктринальным принципам ханафитского мазхаба. Анализируя эту историю, я прихожу к выводу, что, с одной стороны, указание на не/легальность фетв являлось орудием власти и манипуляции среди местных казахов, с другой, столкновения между ахуном и ОМДС говорят о существовании различных подходов к пониманию правовой ситуации. Иначе говоря, разногласия возникли на почве того, как соизмерить доктринальные требования ханафизма с региональными особенностями. Оказавшись не в состоянии оспорить авторитетность правовых источников Г. Караша, ОМДС обвинило казахского ахуна в отходе от матуридитской акыды и пропаганде идей мутазилитов. Статья преимущественно основана на архивных материалах. Кроме этого, используются арабографические источники на казахском и татарском языках, опубликованные в мусульманских периодических изданиях и книгах начала ХХ в
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
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
