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
Investigating the Impact of Social Interaction on Consumers\u27 Purchasing Behavior in Social Commerce Platform
Full text linkAbstract. S-commerce is a modern trend in the field of internet trading, which uses social media as the medium for transactions. To study this rising propensity, we examine how social interaction affects the consumer\u27s s-commerce purchasing behavior. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and the 189 respondents were selected according to predetermined criteria. The data processing approach employed Structural Equation Model (SEM) - Partial Least Square (PLS) with SmartPLS 3.0 software assistant. The results showed that social interaction had a positive and significant effect on trust and intention to purchase, trust had a positive and significant impact on purchase intention and s-commerce purchasing behaviour, and purchase intention had positive and significant influence on s-commerce purchasing berhavior. In contrast, the consumer\u27s social interaction effect toward s-commerce purchasing behavior was insignificant. The results are expected to provide a comprehensive understanding in term of consumer\u27s behavior in social media and its consequences for the s-commerce market strategy in Indonesia.Keywords: Social interaction, trust, purchase intention, s-commerce purchasing behavior, SEM-PLSAbstrak.

Memprediksi Niat Beli Siswa pada Berbagi Aplikasi Seluler Ekonomis; Kajian Empiris saat New Normal
No full textThis study aims to investigate how essential product quality, service quality, discounts, and perceived ease of use that influence students’ intention in using sharing economy (SE) application during pandemic period. An online survey was conducted by directly scattering e-questionnaires link generated from google formulir to collect primary data from active students in Makassar, Indonesia. We selected 132 respondents (Grab users) who have met the judgment sampling and.then analyzed the collected primary data with structural equation modeling (SEM) and partial least squares (PLS). The result demonstrated that there was positive and significant relationship between service quality, discounts, perceived ease of use and purchase intention. Meanwhile, product quality were found to be not significant in predicting students’ behavior. Practically, the Grabs’ management should reconfirm and reassure the product quality that the vendor offers via their apps to stimulate users’s buying especially in the Covid-19 crisis. Theoritically, some potential constructs needs to revisit to enrich the current SE studies. 
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
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
