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
Kompetisi, efisiensi dan stabilitas perbankan di indonesia
Full text linkBanking industry is like a heart in the body of economy that plays the role to pump the ‘blood’ in the form of money and to distribute it to the organs of the body in need of blood. Thus, if the ‘heart’ is paralyzed, the economic system will crumble. Thus, the banking industry is the main channel where fragility is transmitted to other sectors in the economy by disrupting the interbank lending market and payment mechanism, and/or by reducing the availability of the financing.
Since 1970, there have been recorded 117 cases of systemic banking crises and 51 cases of non-systemic banking crises in developed countries and emerging market countries. Banking instability has created a large cost, one of which is in the form of fiscal resolution cost for the government. This cost comprises various expenses to rehabilitate the banking system including bank recapitalization cost and payment to depositors or savings through the deposit guarantee (insurance) scheme. This fiscal resolution cost on average is quite substantial, amounting to 15% of GDP. This cost is higher in emerging market countries especially when accompanied by currency crisis. In Indonesia, as a result of 1997-1998 crises, the overall total cost of recovery of the banking system through the issuance of government bonds was around Rp658 trillion, consisting of Rp430 trillion for bank recapitalization cost, Rp218 trillion for BLBI (Bank Indonesia Liquidity Support) cost, Rp9.97 trillion for program credit cost.
The first objective of this study was to measure the competition, efficiency, and stability of banking in Indonesia. Competition was measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, efficiency was estimated by the Stochastic Frontier Analysis approach, and stability was calculated by Z-Score. The second objective was to analyze the effect of competition on banking stability in Indonesia, whether it follows the Competition-Stability Hypothesis or the Competition-Fragility Hypothesis; the effect of the opposite direction was also analyzed, to see the influence of stability on the banking competition in Indonesia. The third objective was to analyze the effect of competition on banking efficiency in Indonesia, whether it follows the Competition-Efficiency Hypothesis or the Competition-Inefficiency Hypothesis; the effect of the opposite direction was also analyze, to find out the influence of efficiency on banking competition in Indonesia. The fourth objective was to analyze the effect of stability on banking efficiency in Indonesia and the effect of opposite direction as well.
To examine the relationship between competition, efficiency and stability, the Panel Vector autoregression model was used. The first stage of this test was conducting a formal test to determine data stationarity. The second stage was determining the number of optimal lags by using five methods or criteria. The third stage was ensuring that the Panel VAR model used met the conditions of stability on the optimal lags. The last stage was then the estimation of VAR Panel and Granger Causality Analysis. As a robustness test of the results of this Panel VAR estimation, Impulse Response Function of the endogenous variables due to the shock from other variables was conducted.
The results of this study indicated that HHI affected the level of banking efficiency with a positive relationship. This means that in Indonesia the increase of competition (indicated by the declining HHI) will reduce the level of banking efficiency. Therefore, the behavior of banking in Indonesia follows the Competition-Inefficiency Hypothesis. As for stability, it affected the level of banking efficiency in Indonesia with a positive relationship. This means that in Indonesia the increase of stability will also increase the level of banking efficiency.
Efficiency affected the HHI of banking with a negative relationship. This means that in Indonesia the increase of efficiency will ultimately increase banking competition (indicated by a decrease in HHI). On the other hand, stability did not significantly affect (not Granger cause) competition.
HHI affected stability with a positive relationship. This means that in Indonesia the increase of competition (indicated by the declining HHI) will decrease banking stability. This is in accordance with the Competition-Fragility Hypothesis. On the contrary, efficiency did not significantly affect banking stability in Indonesia.
On the macro prudential level, the first implication of these results is connected with the issue of interest rate management. The results of this study can explain, among others, the difficulty on lowering bank interest rates in Indonesia. The second one is the suggestion on the improvement of the Single Presence Policy. The third one is related to the evaluation of the magnitude of Counter-Cyclical Buffer. The fourth one is linked to the sharpening of the criteria for Domestic Systemically Important Banks. Lastly, the fifth implication is associated with the quality improvement of the monitoring and maintenance of the condition of financial system stability that is carried out by the Financial System Stability Committee.There were some managerial implications on micro prudential level on result of this study as well
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
