    In recent years, the problems of innovation activity have become essential. Scientific and technological innovations have become the most important factors for sustainable economic growth in post-industrial society. For small-economy countries, it is essential to study innovative activities and their analysis. The following article is devoted to studying Georgia\u27s innovation potential based on the Global innovation index. The article analyzes the importance of innovation, the dynamics of the Global innovation index, and its role in country\u27s development process. There is a detailed examination of the change of dynamics of Georgia\u27s innovative development indicators\u27 and are indicated the weaknesses and strengths of the innovative environment. In the last part, the author\u27s conclusions and recommendations for improving the innovative environment are presented

Small and medium-sized businesses provide jobs and improve the welfare of the population. Accordingly, the pace of economic growth largely depends on the quality of functioning of small and medium- sized enterprises in the country. The article is devoted to the discussion of small and medium-sized businesses. The introductory part of the work is devoted to small and medium-sized businesses and their role in the country's economy. The next part analyzes the declared data of the State Statistics Service of Georgia on business forms on such economic indicators as: the number of employees, the number of employees, the average monthly salary of employees, trade turnover, output, direct foreign deliveries. investments. As can be seen from the statistical materials, in 2022 the entire business sector was affected by the pandemic. Small and medium enterprises were forced to reduce the number of employees. Due to the decrease in aggregate demand, the sector of small and medium businesses reduced the output of products, which was also reflected in the turnover rate. Some enterprises have had to suspend or cease operations due to strict regulations. The main part discusses institutions and programs for the development of small and medium-sized businesses. It is worth noting the reforms carried out by the government in order to promote small and medium-sized businesses. One of the outstanding and successful programs is ~Produce in Georgia~. With the help of similar programs, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to develop, which positively affects the economic growth of the country. Despite the improvement of the general business environment, in terms of small and medium entrepreneurship development, Georgia faces the same challenges as in many developing countries. The situation worsened during the pandemic. Therefore, the 2021-2025 strategy for the development of small and medium entrepreneurship aims to restore the positive trends that existed before the pandemic and to promote the further development of small and medium entrepreneurship. The last part presents the author's conclusions on this issue

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    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
