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
Political Exegesis of the Holy Quran: A Rational and Critical vision
Full text linkThis study deals with the exposition of political orientation in giving exegetical understanding of the Holy Qur’an with the use of rational and critical vision. It also attempts to analyse the books on sciences of the Quran to reveal the advantegous and disadvantageous for those who subcribe what so-called ‘the modern way of exegesis’. In addition, it presents the efforts of previous exegetical notion as well as the contribution of contemporary scholars in dealing with the issue of political exegesis by explaining their political direction. Moreover, it aims at giving scientific solutions and presenting rational responses with regard to the lacking aspects of the methodology within political exegesis of the book of Allah and to disclose the thing which comes closer to the truth. The study relied on the descriptive and analytical approach, where to discuss in the folds of the research and analytical based on exploring political interpretation and monitoring its pros and cons. There is no doubt that the Qur’an is the first source of Islamic legislation, and therefore it encompassed all social fields, and based on this basis, limiting the understanding and interpretation of the Qur’an to a specific thing or to a specific era or a method of curriculum is something that contradicts the Qur’an itself. Just as we welcome the various explanatory methods and their methods and colors, we must welcome the political interpretation of our days as long as it adopts the right approach and the good methods. However, it is not possible to deal with the entire Qur’an with a naive political perspective, and to interpret the Book of God according to political requirements and concepts, as it will lead to the emergence of political movements or military groups that give great interest in the political aspect of the Qur’an, so the Holy Qur’an enters into a political battle that the message of the Holy Qur’an does not aim at.Artikel ini membahas orientasi politis dalam penulisan tafsir Qur’an dengan pendekatan yang lebih rasional dan kritis. Artikel ini juga menganalisis literatur kajian tentang Qur’an serta menunjukkan keuntungan dan kerugian dari istilah yang dikenal sebagai pendekatan modern dalam tafsir Qur’an. Selain itu juga menjelaskan kajian–kajian tafsir sebelumnya hingga kontribusi kajian sarjana tafsir saat ini yang terkait dengan pembahasan politisasi tafsir berserta kecenderungan politisnya. Disamping itu, artikel ini memberikan solusi dan respon rasional berdasar pada aspek kesenjangan metodologi politisasi tafsir dan usaha mengungkapkan pada kebenaran. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif dan analitik, dimana akan didasarkan pada eksplorasi berbagai penafsiran politis dan mengamati pendukung dan penentangnya. Tidak ada keraguan bahwa Qur’an adalah sumber hukum Islam yang pertama dan merangkum semua bidang, sehingga atas dasar ini membatasi pemahaman dan penafsiran Qur’an kepada sesuatu atau era tertentu atau kurikulum tertentu adalah sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan Qur’an itu sendiri. Seperti halnya kita menerima penjelasan tentang metode dan ragam yang sudah ada, maka kita juga harus menyambut baik ragam tafsir dan orientasinya saat ini selama menggunakan pendekatan yang tepat dan metode yang baik. Meski demikian, tidak mungkin berurusan dengan Qur’an yang perspektif tafsirannya naif dan mengikuti kecenderungan politik tertentu hingga memunculkan gerakan atau kelompok politik tertentu. Alih-alih justru membawa Qur’an dalam pertikaian politik dan jauh dari pesan-pesan Qur’an yang sebenarnya

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
