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
Deteksi suap di lembaga sektor publik Indonesia: analisis multigrup
No full textPada lembaga sektor publik, suap masih menjadi sebuah fenomena yang masih sulit untuk dikendalikan. Bahkan, dalam 10 tahun terakhir saja, suap yang terjadi di lembaga sektor publik (utamanya di Indonesia), masih tergolong sebagai salah satu jenis tindakan korupsi yang paling banyak terjadi, apabila dibandingkan dengan jenis tindakan korupsi lainnya. Maka dari itu, penelitian yang berfokus untuk mengeksplorasi berbagai faktor yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas proses pendeteksian fraud, utamanya tindakan suap, masih sangat dibutuhkan hingga saat ini. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan utama, untuk menganalisis secara empiris pengaruh dari faktor pengalaman, sebagai variabel yang diyakini dapat memoderasi hubungan antara audit forensik, dan audit investigasi terhadap proses pendeteksian suap. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Survei dipilih sebagai metode, dengan kuesioner yang turut digunakan dalam rangka untuk memperoleh data utama pada penelitian ini. Adapun sebanyak 199 responden, yaitu auditor Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) dan Badan Pengawasan Keuangan dan Pembangunan (BPKP) Republik Indonesia, diketahui telah mengisi secara lengkap setiap item pertanyaan kuesioner pada penelitian ini. Sementara itu, efek moderasi atas faktor pengalaman pada penelitian in, akan diuji dengan menggunakan smith-satterthwaite test. Hasil dari penelitian ini, membuktikan secara empiris bahwa faktor pengalaman ternyata belum terbukti sebagai variabel moderasi dalam proses pendeteksian suap. Hal ini menegaskan bahwa, kualitas pendeteksian suap melalui audit forensik/investigasi tidak terlalu dipengaruhi faktor pengalaman. Melainkan oleh faktor lainnya
Intensi Melakukan Tindakan Plagiasi oleh Mahasiswa Akuntansi: Dampak Perkembangan Teknologi dan Unfair Competition
Full text linkPurpose: This study examines how technological development and unfair competition affect students' motivations to plagiarize.
Methodology/approach: This study employs a quantitative methodology and a survey as its primary research tool. In order to gather information for this study, questionnaires were also used. 257 accounting students, including those pursuing diploma, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, who were enrolled in 16 universities in the Province of DIY made up the entire sample size for this study.
Findings: Technological development and unfair competition have both been shown to have a positive impact on students' intentions to plagiarize.
Practical and Theoretical contribution/Originality: The findings of this study can be used as a reference option for policy makers in various types of educational institutions, especially in tertiary institutions in order to develop effective anti-plagiarism policies.
Research Limitation: This study was not carried out comprehensively to all universities in the Province of DIY that have Accounting Study Programs. The 257 respondents in this study only came from 16 universities. Considering that there are quite a number of universities in DIY that have Accounting Study Programs, it is hoped that future researchers will be able to broaden the range of respondents' origins
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
