    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

    Full text link
    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

    Analisis Hukum Dalam Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi Dalam Perspektif Psikologi Kriminal ( Studi Kasus Pengadilan Negeri Medan)

    Corruption is a social disease and parasite that harms a nation’s life aspects when it is practiced continuously in a big scale. Nowadays corruption can be classified into two points of view. First view states that corruption is from the individual of the corruptor. Second view, according to some experts, states that corruption is a social practice within a system. Since corruption cases in Indonesia are getting more massive, it is necessary to study the factors which cause corruption within the criminal psychological perspective. Corruption eradication can be carried out by the policy of the Penal Law; namely Penal and Non-penal policies. The objective of the research is to find out the legal administration, the factors which lead to corruption and penal law policy. The research applies judicial normative method which is grounded on library research to obtain materials related to the research problems. The instruments used to collect the data are library study and interview. Based on the results, the formulation of the Law on corruption has evolved substantially. The changes are seen from how the law makers put the regulations into a particular form of regulation. The Law on Corruption/ 1999 has set criminal weighing such as death penalty, particular minimum criminal sanction, higher fine, and more actions classified into corruption. Viewed from the criminal psychological perspective, the factors which cause corruption are derived from within the corruptor’s self; they are greedy and rapacious, and caused by basic human values such as hedonism, achievement as well as conformity. The strategy to eradicate corruption is by establishing Penal and Non penal policies. Penal policy is carried out by means of law enforcement i.e. involve the accused/defendant of corruption to reveal a case. Their participation is known as the Justice Collaborator and Whistle Blower. It is stipulated in the Circular Letter of the Supreme Court No.4/2011. Then, it can also be carried out by impoverishing the corruptor which has been enabled by the prevailing regulations; namely, the Article 18 of the Law on Corruption. Next, non-penal policy can be made by empowering the moral integrity of the law enforcers to enforce the law on corruption, namely empowering the welfare system or establishing political and economic risk system, and disseminate the understanding of corruption to the bureaucrats in either executive or legislative institutions, the law enforcers and all levels of the society.Korupsi merupakan penyaki tmasyarakat dan menjadi benalu sosial yang merusak sendi-sendi kehidupan suatu bangsa apabila dilakukan secara terus menerus dalam sekala besar. Korupsi yang terjadi dewasa ini pada intinya dapat dikelompokkan dalam dua sudut pandang. Pandangan pertama, menyatakan bahwa korupsi berasal dari individu itu sendiri. Pandangan kedua, beberapa ilmuan mendefinisikan korupsi sebagai sebuah praktik social dalam sebuah sistem. Dengan semakin masifnya kasus korupsi yang terjadi di Indonesia, maka perlu diteliti faktor faktor penyebab terjadinya tindak pidana korupsi dalam perspektif psikologi kriminal. Pemberantasan kejahatan korupsi bias dilakukan dengan kebijakan hokum pidana yaitu dengan kebijakan Penal danNonpenal Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaturan hukum, faktorpenyebabterjadinyatindakpidanakorupsi, dan kebijakan hukum pidana. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif, yaitu suatu metode yang berdasarkan studi kepustakaan untuk mendapatkan bahan-bahan yang sesuai dengan isu penelitian. Dalam pengumpulan data menggunakan alat studi kepustakaan dan wawancara. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, di dalam Perumusan undang-undang korupsi telah banyak mengalami perubahan secara substansi.Perubahan itu terlihat, dari bagaimana para pembuat undang-undang korupsi meletakkan aturan tersebut kedalam bentuk aturan khusus. Di dalam UU Korupsi Tahun 1999 telah mengatur tentang pemberatan pidana seperti pidana mati, mengatur tentang ancaman pidana minimum khusus, mengatur ancaman denda yang lebihtinggi, dan disisi lain diperluasnya perbuatan-perbuatan yang termasuk tindak pidana korupsi. Di dalam perspektif piskologi kriminal, faktor penyebab terjadinya tindak pidana korupsi berasal dari dalam diri pelaku yaitu adanya sifat ketamakan dan kerakusan, factor basic human values hedonism,basic human values achievement danbasic human values conformity. Dalam hal strategi pemberantasan korupsi, dapat dilakukan dengan kebijakan Penal dan Nonpenal. Kebijakan Penal dilakukan dengan cara law enforcement yaitu dengan mengikutsertakannya tersangka/ terdakwa korupsi dalam pengungkapan suatukasus. Keikutsertaan mereka dikenal dengan istilah Justice Collaborator dan Whistle blower. Hal itu diatur didalam Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung Nomor 4 Tahun 2011. Selanjutnya, dengan upaya pemiskinan koruptor yang memang telah dimungkinkan dalam aturan hukum yang ada, seperti didalam pasal 18 UU Korupsi. Selanjutnya, denganKebijakan Non Penal seperti: Memberdayakan integritas moral para penegak hukum dalam rangka penegakan hokum terhadap tindak pidana korupsi yaitu dengan memberdayakan system kesejahteraan atau membangun system political risk dan economic risk, Sosialisasi pemahaman korupsi kepada para birokrat baik lembaga eksekutif maupun legislative, penegak hokum dan seluruh lapisan masyarakat.Tesis Magiste

    In the industrial era 4.0 was a new chapter in the 21st century. This period was marked by openness and freedom in various fields of life. In the industrial era 4.0 is a century full of hope, laden with positive opportunities that can be exploited for a variety of human life, also laden with negative challenges because there has been a shift in values (social deviations) which at some level transformed into a form of crime. Crimes which is endemic in developing countries like Indonesia is certainly not the same as in developed countries. In addition, the potential for crime is caused by stretching industry 4.0. Thus, the need for special therapy / fomula to minimize the crime that will occur in the future
