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
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
Pengaruh Ketidakseimbangan dan Kompleksitas Informasi Laporan Keberlanjutan terhadap Niat Perilaku Pro-Lingkungan: Studi Eksperimen
No full textAbstractThis study aims to investigate the effect of information imbalance and information complexity on intentions to engage in pro-environmental behavior. This research employed a 2 × 2 factorial experimental design. Participants in this study were undergraduate and master's level accounting students who acted as employees reading the company's sustainability reports. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data in this study. The results of the analysis indicate that information imbalance has no significant effect on pro-environmental behavioral intentions, while information complexity has a significant positive effect on such intentions. The interaction results indicate that information imbalance variables and information complexity do not interact to produce any effect. According to the findings of the analysis, information imbalance in the form of only presenting negative information can be eliminated with the ability, effort, and access to a wide range of information as well as the surrounding environment. In addition, the complexity of information that is easy to read is preferred by readers because it is simple to comprehend and encourages more actions based on prioritized values. The lack of interaction between the two independent variables demonstrates that they move by mutually inhibiting each other.Keywords: Information complexity; Information imbalance; Pro-environmental behavior intentions.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh ketidakseimbangan informasi dan kompleksitas informasi terhadap niat berperilaku pro-lingkungan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen faktorial 2 × 2. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa sarjana dan magister akuntansi yang berperan sebagai karyawan yang membaca laporan keberlanjutan perusahaan. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan two way-ANOVA. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh utama pada ketidakseimbangan informasi terhadap niat perilaku pro-lingkungan, sedangkan terdapat pengaruh utama yang positif pada kompleksitas informasi terhadap niat perilaku pro-lingkungan. Adapun hasil interaksi menunjukkan tidak ditemukan pengaruh interaksi antara variabel ketidakseimbangan informasi dan kompleksitas informasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, ketidakseimbangan informasi berupa penyajian informasi negatif saja dapat dieliminasi dengan kemampuan dan usaha dalam diri serta aksestabilitas informasi yang beragam dan lingkungan. Selain itu, jenis kompleksitas informasi yang mudah terbaca lebih disukai oleh pembaca karena mudah untuk dipahami sehingga meningkatkan tindakan berdasarkan nilai prioritas yang dipercayai. Adapun tidak ditemukannya interaksi antar dua variabel independen membuktikan kedua variabel bergerak dengan saling menghambat.Kata kunci: Ketidakseimbangan informasi; Kompleksitas informasi; Niat perilaku pro-lingkungan

The Relationship between Innovation Capital, Firm Value, and Firm Risk
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to examine two relationships: (1) innovation capital and firm value; and (2) innovation capital and firm risk. The population of this study was all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016-2020, and the required research sample was drawn using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis technique used multiple linear regression. The result revealed that innovation capital had a positive and statistically significant effect on firm value, but innovation capital had a negative and insignificant relationship on firm risk. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that innovation capital has a potential factor to increase company\u27s value, only if companies have a competitive advantage by disclosing the R&D costs and investments in their financial statements. Because of each company is unique, innovation capital is not always related to a systematic risk measurement
