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
The dynamics of the process of internationalization of the SME of the region Fes-Meknes (Morocco) : theoretical analysis and empirical study
No full textLa mondialisation, l’ouverture des marchés et l’avènement de la nouvelle économie favorisent le développement d’un nouveau paysage géo-socio-économique au sein duquel l’entreprise doit se positionner. En réponse à ces mutations, l’internationalisation s’impose comme un élément de développement de l’entreprise. Les PME marocaines nesont plus en mesure d’opérer de façon indépendante. L’ouverture de l’économie les oblige à mieux se préparer pour faire face aux défis de l’avenir. Cette thèse cherche, à étudier l’internationalisation des PME de la région de Fès Meknès, en identifiant les différences et les cohérences entre le processus d’internationalisation et le processus organisationnel.Les analyses statistiques réalisées à l’aide des régressions logistiques multinomiales et par la méthode d’«analyse par enveloppement des données » ont permis de souligner l’importance de la dynamique relationnelle, stratégique et d’innovation dans la dynamique du processus d’internationalisation dans le contexte précis des PME de la région de Fès-Meknès. Dans un essai de taxonomie, les entreprises observées ont été classées en trois catégories : entreprises apathiques, entreprises intermédiaires et entreprises agiles.Ce travail a enfin permis de dégager des conclusions utiles pour promouvoir le réflexe de l’internationalisation auprès des PME marocaines. La thèse a bénéficié du soutien du programme de recherche de la COOPERATION SCIENTIFIQUE MAROCOFRANÇAISE qui a financé une partie des activités de l'équipe impliquée dans ce projet.Globalization, open markets and the new global economy foster new dimensions of a new geo-socio-economic system. Among these changes, internationalization becomes an essential element of a company development. Therefore, Moroccan SMEs are no longer able to operate independently, as the new global economy obliges them to seek the needsof future challenges. Thus, this thesis focuses on describing the current situation of Moroccan SMEs, which have already reached the international level. It also aims at studying deeply their internationalization process, in order to identify the differences and correspondences between the internationalization and organizational process.The conducted statistical analyses, using the “multinomial logistic regressions” and "Data Envelopment Analysis" method, emphasize the importance of strategic, relational dynamics and innovation within the influence of the internationalization process in the SMEs context of Fez-Meknes region. The taxonomy approach was applied to classify the companies under the study into three categories: apathetic companies, intermediate companies and then agile companies.In fact, the target of this research is to cover and identify the relevant results in order to promote the connotation of the internationalization of the Moroccan SMEs. The thesis has benefited from the support of the Moroccan-French Scientific Cooperation research program which funded a part of the team activities involved in this project
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
Internationalisation Des PME De La Région Fès Meknès (Maroc) : Cartographie Des Liens Et Tendances Actuelles
Full text linkGlobalization is not a recent phenomenon in the social sciences. The advocates argue that companies of all sizes are increasingly integrating into globalization processes. In Morocco, as in other countries, this phenomenon affects several aspects and manifests in several forms. In this paper, we analyze the impact on the mapping of links and the exchange of trade flows between firms in the Fez Meknes region (Morocco) and their foreign companies. The aim is to study the applicability of the concept of "psychic distance", particularly the importance of geographical, cultural, institutional and legislative distance in the choice of foreign partner companies
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
