    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

    Abstract: The Concept of Family, istilhâq, and civil rights of children born out of wedlock. One of the basic rights that all newborns have is the right to family. This means that the moment a child is born it immediately gets the right to belong to his parents’ family, in addition to other rights that relate to being related to that family. However, not all children are born with as good a lot as that. If that is the case, Islam has several ways for that child to get to have family. A family can be sought through iqrâr (declaration), evidence, and istilhâq. Once that family has been linked, civil rights, which he gets from having that father, automatically apply to that child. Children born out of wedlock can be linked to a family with people who are willing to be compassionate towards the child’s mother, when that birth doesn’t happen as a result of adultery. In that case, it is permissible if the nature of the birth is either uncertain or didn’t happen through adultery. A child born to a married couple considered unlawful can be linked to another family and with them get his or her civil rights as needed from the father of that family.Keyword: family, istilhâq, civil right, children born ouy of wedlockAbstrak: Konsep Nasab, Istilhâq, dan Hak Perdata Anak Luar Nikah. Anak yang terlahir ke dunia memiliki hak nasab sebagai salah satu hak dasar yang dimilikinya. Ini berarti bahwa saat anak terlahir langsung mendapatkan hak nasab dari ayahnya dengan hak-hak lain yang melekat akibat adanya kaitan nasab itu. Akan tetapi, tidak semua anak terlahir dengan nasib sebaik itu. Dalam hal ini, Islam memiliki beberapa cara untuk mendapatkan nasab itu. Nasab bisa didapat melalui iqrâr (pengakuan), pembuktian, dan istilhâq. Bila nasab itu sudah terkait, maka hak-hak perdata anak secara otomatis melekat pada anak itu yang dapat diperolehnya dari ayahnya. Anak luar nikah bisa dikaitkan nasabnya dengan orang yang menanam benihnya ke rahim ibu si anak, bila hal itu terjadi bukan karena zina. Dalam hal ini, bisa karena syubhât atau hal lain selain zina. Anak yang terlahir dalam pernikahan yang dinggap tidak sah bisa dikaitkan nasabnya dengan ayahnya dan mendapatkan hak perdata sebagaimana mestinya, bila hal itu dilakukan oleh ayahnya.Kata Kunci: nasab, istilhâq, hak perdata, anak luar nikahDOI: 10.15408/ajis.v12i1.96

    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

    The harmonization of shari’a and tradition becomes an important issue, especially in a country with legal pluralism such as Indonesia. This paper discusses the harmonization of Islamic law and tradition in Majalengka, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, this paper focuses on ngarunghal tradition, including the pelangkah present. The differences between tradition and shari’a can be a new configuration that can continue to be preserved in Indonesia. The data was obtained from interviews with local figures. The research shows that shari’a accepts the richness of indigenous entities. At the same time, the tradition accepts the principle of Islamic law as an effort to reconstruct the traditions to be in line with shari’a. Abstrak:Harmonisasi hukum Islam dan  adat yang merupakan dua entitas hukum berbeda sangat dinantikan, terutama di Indonesia sebagai negara hukum plural yang memiliki keberagaman suku bangsan, adat,  dan budaya. Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan harmonisasi hukum Islam  dan adat  yang terjadi di wilayah Majalengka, Jawa Barat. Dengan  menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dan  pendekatan kajian hukum Islam, penelitian ini mengungkapkan rangkaian adat ngarunghal, termasuk di dalamnya pemberian pelangkah. Data penelitian diperoleh dari hasil wawancara dan penelitian-penelitian terdahulu. Hasil  penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hukum Islam menerima kekayaan entitas adat, dan adat juga menerima prinsip Islam sebagai upaya rekonstruksi adat sejalan dengan ajaran Islam. Hasil harmonisasi dari perbedaan kedua entitas dalam permasalahan tersebut dapat menjadi bentuk kekayaan Islam Indonesia yang dapat terus dilestarikan.
