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
A Study on Determinants of Profitability of Bills Finance Companies
No full textIn May 1976, the first professional ticket finance in Taiwan began to open, opening the curtain of the domestic currency market. As of the end of December 2018, there were 52 Bills Finance Companies, including 8 professional Bills Finance Companies, 40 banks with short-term ticket initial secondary market operations and 4 securities firms with short-term ticket secondary market operations. . The number of professional Bills Finance Companies has reached 16 in 1998, and has so far reduced by half.
After the financial turmoil in 2008, the country has been in a low interest rate for a long time. As the revenue of Bills Finance Companies is mainly based on ticket credit, ticket underwriting and bond voucher transaction income, in the case of low profit, the credit structure of professional ticket companies and The impact of the size of the site on its profitability is worth studying. This paper takes the domestic 8 professional Bills Finance Companies as a sample to explore the impact of the long-term low-profit environment after the financial turmoil on the profit factors of ticket finance companies. The primary data obtained by the central bank was studied, and then the multi-regression method was used to analyze the profit factors of the professional Bills Finance Companies by using the panel datacombined with the cross-cutting and time series.
According to the analysis results, the volume of ticket sales and guarantee and endorsement business volume have a significant positive impact on the income before tax of professional tickets, but Underwriting Business Volume and bond trading has no significant impact on pre-tax net profit; The interest rate has a significant negative impact, mainly because the higher the market interest rate, the less the spread will be. In recent years, the domestic interest rate maintained after the financial turmoil is more favorable for profit. As the competent authorities open up derivative financial products and foreign currency bond business, under the high profit margin of these businesses, professional ticket brokers can strengthen the product design capability and trading business of this business in the future, thereby improving profitability
The Influence Mechanism between Perceived Dirty Work and Work Change Intention: A Test of Moderated Mediation Model by the Sense of Calling
No full textThe purpose of this study is to explore the mechanism of the influence of sense of calling of dirty workers and job change intentions through the moderating mediation model. According to the Affective Event Theory (AET), this study explores the negative emotion (affective path) and occupational disidentification (non-affective path) generated by employees through the work itself, as a mediated mechanism linking the sense of dirty work and job change intention. In addition, this study also verified the moderating effect of calling on the two pathways, clarifying the relationship of these factors and building a mediation moderated mode.
Data were collected from 41 long-term care service units consisted of 366 caregiver workers who provided the information including that perceived dirty work, occupational disidentification, negative emotion, sense of calling, job change intention and demographic variables. Hierarchical regression modeling techniques were applied to test the models. The results reveal that employees' occupational disidentification and negative emotions give a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the perceive of dirty work and job change intention. The sense of calling will eventually mediate the mediating effect of perceived dirty work on job change intention through occupational disidentification or negative emotion. Through the verification of this study, the explanation of emotional event theory for employees' work behavior can be clarified, and it is also expected to provide substantial benefits to the current cultivation of long-term care workers
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
