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
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
THE CONCEPT OF INSTITUTIONAL RESTRUCTURING OF INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXES IN CONDITIONS OF DIGITAL ECONOMY
No full textThe article studies acute problems and conceptual issues of transforming industrial enterprises and complexes in conditions of dynamic development of digital technologies and innovation. The author worked out the definition of the concept of institutional restructuring the industrial complex as a system of academic and theoretical views and provisions, which formulate the integral and non-conflicting notion of genesis, content, factors and strategic lines of conducting complex changes at the enterprise in order to ensure its competitiveness, development and higher innovation activity in the digital environment. Basic provisions of the concept were worked out, which characterize preconditions, essence, goals, aspects, tools, process structure and strategy of institutional transformation of the industrial enterprise. The author demonstrates the idea of the integration paradigm and genesis of restructuring, which depicts the logical mechanism of the origin and development of institutional changes in the industrial complex. Classification of fundamental and functional factors of restructuring was carried out and assessment oftheir appearance in traditional market conditions and conditions of digital economy. To ensure leading positions of the enterprise on market its transformation should be conducted in the pro-active format preventing the period of bifurcation processes and structural shifts in economy. The author proposes a conceptual approach to early restructuring of the industrial complex in respect to market changes. The conceptual scheme of integrating strategic lines in restructuring and developing the industrial complex in conditions of the digital environment was elaborated
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
The process of budgeting the strategy of industrial complex transformation in the context of digitalisation
Get PDFThe article is devoted to topical issues of budget formation and optimization of industrial complexes transformation strategies in the digital economy. The study defines the content of the budgeting strategy of transformation as a system of financial, organizational and managerial procedures focused on the formation of a balanced multi-level budget strategy and the effective expenditure of its resources on measures to modernize the enterprise. The author proposes the process of budgeting the strategy for the transformation of the industrial complex, which is distinguished by the use of the program-target method and ensures the consistency of long-term goals and the financial policy of the enterprise. Further, the researcher substantiates the allocation of strategically significant expenses of production companies into a separate category of accounting and the formation of transformation strategy budgets based on them. The budget of the change strategy includes 6 types of costs: 1) reconstruction and modernization costs; 2) information and communication technology costs; 3) research and development costs; 4) technological innovation costs; 5) organizational innovation costs; 6) marketing innovation costs. The author determines the recommended amount and horizon of the strategy budget planning and also presents a 6-stage algorithm of methodical reception on the use of neural network modeling tools to optimize the budget of the strategy of changes in the industrial complex. It is possible to use the results of the study as a methodological basis for organizing the process of budgeting strategies of industrial complexes in the digital economy
