Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
The Criminal Justice for Autism in Indonesia Case Study
No full textAbstract: This study aims to find out how law enforcement for crimes committed by autistic people in Indonesia. This research is a qualitative research with a normative juridical approach. The method used in this research is the study of literature, with descriptive data analysis. The protection of persons with disabilities has been regulated in Indonesian law listed in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities. The law refers to international conventions (The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities). Persons with disabilities as referred to in this law include autism as intellectual disabilities. Although it has been regulated in legislation that persons with autism get the same rights and obligations in law as other citizens, in reality it is not uncommon for cases to end in injustice for them. Some criminal cases involving autistic persons often experience difficulties in their resolution, due to lack of understanding of law enforcement officers. The study states that to provide the fairest possible action for persons with autism, law enforcement must be able to ascertain their physical and psychological condition. This is done through a special approach and assistance from experts and people who are able to create comfort for autistic people is very influential, so that the information received is accurate. An assembly in giving the fairest decision, must be able to consider the opinions of experts, especially those who understand autism.Title: Giustizia penale ed autismo, il caso di studio dell’IndonesiaRiassunto: Questo studio mira a scoprire in che modo l\u27applicazione della legge per i crimini commessi da persone autistiche in Indonesia. Questa ricerca è una ricerca qualitativa con un approccio giuridico normativo. Il metodo utilizzato in questa ricerca è lo studio della letteratura, con analisi descrittiva dei dati. La tutela delle persone con disabilità è stata regolamentata dalla legge indonesiana elencata nella legge della Repubblica di Indonesia n. 8 del 2016 relativa alle persone con disabilità. La legge fa riferimento alle convenzioni internazionali (Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti delle persone con disabilità). Le persone con disabilità, come indicato in questa legge, includono l\u27autismo come disabilità intellettuale. Anche se è stato regolamentato nella legislazione che le persone con autismo ottengono gli stessi diritti e gli stessi obblighi di legge degli altri cittadini, in realtà non è raro che i casi si concludano con un\u27ingiustizia per loro. Alcuni casi penali che coinvolgono persone autistiche spesso incontrano difficoltà nella loro risoluzione, a causa della mancanza di comprensione delle forze dell\u27ordine. Lo studio afferma che per fornire l\u27azione più equa possibile alle persone con autismo, le forze dell\u27ordine devono essere in grado di accertare le loro condizioni fisiche e psicologiche. Questo viene fatto attraverso un approccio speciale e l\u27assistenza di esperti e di persone che sono in grado di creare conforto per le persone autistiche è molto influente, in modo che le informazioni ricevute siano accurate. Un\u27assemblea nel dare la decisione più giusta, deve essere in grado di considerare le opinioni degli esperti, soprattutto di coloro che comprendono l\u27autismo.Parole chiave: Autismo, disabilità, giustizia penale, sistema legale indonesianoAutore: Nurianto Rachmad Soepadmo, lecturer in the postgraduate program at the law facult
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
