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
Bank failure in Nigeria: a consequence of capital inadequacy, lack of transparency and non-performing loans?
Get PDFCorporate Governance and Cooperative Societies: A Survey of Tertiary Institutions in Oyo, Nigeria
Get PDFThe cooperative movement, in recent times, appear to have started addressing the issue of corporate governance. Sequel to this development, some resources to promote good governance can reasonably be expected within the movement itself. This paper therefore was set out to examine whether lack of transparency is a feature of most cooperative societies, to ascertain whether the executives of cooperative societies show good commitment towards accountability and to assess the significance of members’ participation in the democratic process giving room for the emergence of incompetent individuals on the executive and board of cooperatives in Nigeria. It was also meant to evaluate the need for cooperative societies to engage in sound internal control and risk management and to investigate whether weak corporate governance is solely responsible for the maladministration of cooperative societies in Nigeria. The source of data was primary and the five hypotheses formulated were tested using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Essentially, the study found that the executives of cooperative societies are not committed to transparency and accountability. The principal recommendations of the study are that the executives should demonstrate high level commitment towards the sustainability of cooperative societies and that these societies should embrace the principles of good corporate governance that is capable of fostering total accountability, adequate transparency, sound internal control and full disclosure of their activities. Keywords: Cooperative Societies, Corporate Governance, Accountability, Sustainability, Internal Control, Transparency and Disclosur
Corporate Governance and Agency: The Nigerian Banking Sector Experience
Get PDFCorporate governance has ignited heightened interest with the collapse of key companies round the world. The demise of Enron, Arthur Anderson, Health Smith and others took the entire globe by surprise. All the stakeholders are now very interested in setting standards and enacting laws that address current issues to protect unsuspecting investors. In this regard, the United States Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to guide the practice of corporate governance particularly in the public corporation of the country. This paper thus examined the issue of agency as it relates to corporate governance. It attempted to determine the extent to which the directors and management of banks are in congruent with this role. It also assessed the impact of agency on corporate governance in the Nigerian banking sector. In carrying out this study simple percentages through the aid of frequency distribution were used to describe the data collected. T-test statistic was employed to analyse the data. and in conclusion, the study was of the view that agency impacts negatively on corporate governance practices in Nigeria. The study therefore recommended that the banking sector should endeavour to entrench effective corporate governance that will compel the directors and the management to be truly and genuinely accountable to the stakeholders. It also recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria should strengthen its enforcement mechanisms such that there will be total transparency and full disclosure of all material transactions to the stakeholders and the regulatory authorities.

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
