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
Gestão estratégica de custos: uma proposta sobre o custo financeiro no ciclo operacional do produto com base num estudo de caso
No full textA apuração de custos dos produtos e serviços é uma questão que afeta diariamente a vida de uma empresa, independentemente de seu tamanho, da natureza de seus produtos ou do setor econômico de sua atuação. Nos tempos atuais, contudo, a extensa diversidade de produtos, com volumes e complexidades variadas, torna necessária a evolução dos métodos de custeio, incorporando novas dimensões, novos instrumentos de pesquisa e avaliação.
Este estudo tem por objetivo principal revelar formas de apuração de custo para a gestão de preço e de resultado da empresa, as quais possam contribuir com as pesquisas que vêm sendo desenvolvidas no campo da gestão estratégica de custos. Apresenta-se, por meio de um estudo de caso, uma proposta de apuração de custo com abordagem do custo financeiro no ciclo operacional do produto.
Visando alcançar os objetivos da pesquisa, utilizaram-se diversas fontes de dados e informações, tais como: levantamento bibliográfico, observação direta dos processos e atividades, levantamento de dados nos relatórios contábeis, financeiros, administrativos e história da entidade deste estudo.
O método tradicional de apuração de custos não leva em conta a questão de lead time e, conseqüentemente, não apura o custo financeiro de processo e estocagem. Fez-se então um estudo em uma empresa no ramo alimentício, apurando o seu custo com base no valor presente e levando-se em conta o custo financeiro empatado no lead time. O estudo constatou diferenças significativas na apuração do custo e resultado pelo método tradicional e a valor presente do produto aqui estudado. No que se refere à aplicação da proposta, verificou-se que ela fornece uma forma mais útil no gerenciamento estratégico da empresa evitando-se distorções de análise e de futuros investimentosService and product cost evaluation is a subject that commonly affects any company life, no matter its size, its product line, or its segment of a business. However, the present wide product range including different contents and complexities has demanded cost method improvements by establishing new dimensions, analyses and research tools.
This study intends to reveal not only cost system possibilities for company result/price managements, but also the ways they can contribute to researches that have been developed on the strategic cost management area. Thus, a case study was chosen to show cost evaluations along with financial cost approaches in a product operating cycle background.
Different data and information sources have been considered to fulfill the study purposes - process and activity direct observation, bibliographic surveys, financial/management report researches and the company itself.
Since lead time has not been considered by traditional methods in cost system procedures, financial costs and inventories have not been verified either. Therefore, a food company was chosen to have its cost analyzed on present value basis, having its financial cost considered in lead time. Important differences between cost/result evaluations the traditional method and present value for the product now under analysis have been evidenced in this study. In reference to the proposal application, it was observed it provides a more useful way for company strategic management, avoiding analysis and future investment distortion
A DISCREPÂNCIA DA IMPLANTAÇÃO E APURAÇÃO DA CONTABILIDADE DE CUSTOS EM EMPRESAS INDUSTRIAIS NO ENSINO TRADICIONAL DE CUSTOS:
Get PDFNos últimos anos, surgiram diversos Sistemas de Informação Integrados nas Empresa conhecidos como ERP. Os Sistemas de Informação surgiram com a finalidade de propor uma maior agilidade no processamento das informações e de dar mais condições no gerenciamento eficaz das empresas. A integração dos Sistemas se tornam indispensáveis devido ao surgimento de novas tecnologias de produção e a necessidade de se obter informações gerenciais mais interativos em um ambiente altamente competitivo. Por outro lado, por mais paradoxal que possa parecer, o ensino de contabilidade de custos, especialmente nos cursos de graduação, segue imune às transformações no ambiente empresarial posto que, continua a ser abordado nos referidos cursos, da mesma maneira que era há década sem a preocupação desse alinhamento com as inovações tecnológicas das empresas, tanto no aspecto operacional quanto da tecnologia da informação. Desse modo, apesar de se esperar que o ensino da matéria se apresente como agente de vanguarda e, portanto, protagonista de uma realidade que se vive, ele vem se portando, na melhor das hipóteses, como mero espectador dos acontecimentos
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
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
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
