    The 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

    Modern conditions for conducting banking business are associated with macroeconomic uncertainty, threats posed by martial law and political turbulence, unprecedented cyberattacks, violations of financial monitoring regulations, and the loss of banks' client base due to migration, fatalities, and the destruction of production infrastructure. It should also be noted that under such conditions, banks often resort to unjustified aggressive policies in conducting their business to form the necessary resource base and maintain liquidity and profitability. In these challenging conditions, the issue of banks' financial security becomes highly relevant. The article highlights the theoretical foundations for defining the concept of 'financial security of banks' and approaches to forming a system to ensure it. The purpose of the article is to systematize and analyze scientific perspectives on the essence of the concept of 'financial security of banks,' as well as to define the target benchmarks and principles of its organization. The research employs methods of analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach, evolutionary principles, and comparison. A critical analysis of scientific literature on the definition of financial security of banks has been conducted. It is proven that financial security is associated with mitigating systemic risks, the ability to quickly and adequately respond to changes in the financial environment, optimizing conditions for the effective functioning of banking infrastructure, cybersecurity, and payment security. The article provides an original definition of this concept, emphasizing the use of innovative technologies to identify threats of various types and impacts. Prospects for further research are outlined, focusing on the causes and nature of emerging risks.У статті висвітлено теоретичні засади визначення поняття «фінансова безпека банків» та підходи до формування системи її забезпечення. Метою статті є систематизація та аналіз наукових поглядів щодо сутності поняття «фінансова безпека банків», а також визначення цільових орієнтирів та принципів організації. Під час дослідження було використано методи аналізу та синтезу, системного підходу, еволюційності, порівняння. Проведено критичний аналіз наукової літератури щодо дефініції фінансової безпеки банків. Доведено, що вона пов’язана з протистоянням виникненню системного ризику, спроможністю швидко та адекватно реагувати на зміни у фінансовому середовищі, оптимізацією умов для ефективного функціонування банківської інфраструктури, кібербезпекою та платіжною безпекою. Надано власне визначення цієї дефініції, де акцент зроблено на використанні інноваційних технологій при виявленні загроз різного характеру та впливу. Визначено перспективи подальших розвідок, які ґрунтуються на дослідженні причин та природи виникнення новітніх ризикі

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    The article highlights the theoretical and practical foundations of anti-crisis management and its place in ensuring the financial security of banks. The purpose of the article is to determine the main vectors of anti-crisis management of monetary regulatory bodies and methodological recommendations for evaluating the effectiveness of anti-crisis management of banks in ensuring their financial security. The methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, calculation-analytical, graphic methods, coefficient analysis and systematic approach were used during the scientific research. A critical analysis of scientific publications on the concept of "anti-crisis management" and "financial security" in banks proved that the main goal of these systems is toovercome crisis phenomena that can occur both at the micro and macro levels. It has been proven that anti-crisis management is aimed at coordinating the processes of overcoming the risks of banking activities, which ultimately solve the issue of neutralizing threats to the financial security of banks. The main anti-crisis management tools used by the monetary authorities are analyzed. A system of indicators is proposed, with the help of which it is expedient to identify the depth of the crisis. On the basis of the conducted research, conclusions were formed and concrete proposals were substantiated regarding the improvement of the system of preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of a crisis. It is justified that ensuring stability and maintaining a sufficient level of liquidity in banks is possible by establishing control over the quality and structure of bank assets; a comprehensive assessment of the financial condition and stress resistance of banks; detailed screening of solvency and business reputation of potential borrowers; development of an adequate policy and strategy for supervision and development of the banking system; creating a rational structure of the resource base and maintaining a high business reputation of banksУ статті висвітлено теоретичні та практичні основи антикризового управління та його місця у забезпеченні фінансової безпеки банків.
