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
Comportement et performance des banques face à l’asymétrie d’information
Get PDFIslamic banks are attracting more and more interest from professionals and academics, first of all, by their resistance to the subprime crisis and then by their participative financial intermediation which shows significant results. This follows from its founding principle, which is sharing.
The specific financial intermediation of Islamic banks is subject to information asymmetry, which is crucial for their survival on the market.
Our contribution is to discover the behavior of Islamic banks in the face of information asymmetry, by exploiting the theoretical corpus in order to analyze their performance and the causal link existing with asymmetric information. To verify this, the need to use evaluation methods and econometric modeling, via the Excel and Stata computer tool, is necessary to highlight our results.

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
Digitalisation de la gestion des risques de non-recouvrement dans les entreprises non financières : Une étude qualitative des perceptions des managers de risque au Maroc
Get PDFWithin an ever-changing economic landscape, organizations are exposed to a myriad of risks, compelling them to increasingly implement rigorous and sector-appropriate risk management. In this context, the risk of non-recovery of receivables within non-financial companies deserves particular attention due to its significant impact.
This article, among the few studies addressing this specific topic, aims to shed light on the perceptions and attitudes of risk managers regarding the digitization of non-recovery risk management in non-financial enterprises. It is commonly observed that the risk of non-recovery is more frequently discussed in the context of financial companies, while non-financial enterprises also experience its challenges. The fundamental idea behind this study is to understand how risk managers perceive this risk and whether they believe that digitization impacts its management. The results reflect trends in the adoption of digitization, the perspectives of risk managers, and the observed impacts on non-recovery risk management. The discussion delves deep into these findings, highlighting challenges, successes, and opportunities. By exploring trends, perspectives, and impacts, this research contributes to a broader understanding of the role of digital tools in anticipating, assessing, and mitigating non-recovery risks. The challenges highlighted in the discussion emphasize the need for tailored strategies and further exploration of opportunities for improvement.

Paper type: Empirical ResearchAu sein d'un paysage économique en constante évolution, les organisations sont exposées à une myriade de risques, les incitant de plus en plus à mettre en œuvre des processus de gestion des risques rigoureux et adaptés à leur secteur. Dans ce contexte, le risque de non-recouvrement des créances au sein des entreprises non financières mérite une attention particulière en raison de son impact significatif. Cet article, parmi les rares études abordant ce sujet spécifique, vise à éclairer les perceptions et attitudes des gestionnaires de risques concernant la numérisation de la gestion des risques liés au non-recouvrement dans les entreprises non financières. On observe couramment que le risque de non-recouvrement est plus fréquemment discuté dans le contexte des entreprises financières, tandis que les entreprises non financières font également face à ses défis. L'idée fondamentale de cette étude est de comprendre comment les gestionnaires de risques perçoivent ce risque et s'ils estiment que la numérisation a un impact sur sa gestion. Les résultats reflètent les tendances en matière d'adoption de la numérisation, les perspectives des gestionnaires de risques et les impacts observés sur la gestion des risques liés au non-recouvrement. La discussion approfondit ces résultats, mettant en lumière les défis, les succès et les opportunités. En explorant les tendances, les perspectives et les impacts, cette recherche contribue à une compréhension plus large du rôle des outils numériques dans l'anticipation, l'évaluation et l'atténuation des risques liés au non-recouvrement. Les défis soulignés dans la discussion soulignent la nécessité de stratégies adaptées et d'une exploration approfondie des opportunités d'amélioration.
