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
PERIODICAL ANALYSIS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AYURVEDIC HERBOMINERAL FORMULATIONS PUSHPADHANWA RASA
Get PDFThe literature available from past to modern times clearly signifies that the property of Pushpadhanwa rasa was used for Vrisya (aphrodisiac), Vajikarana (Increased sexual power), Vandhyatwa (sterility in both male and female). It was a preparation that can be used for male infertility due to oligospermia and female infertility due to Ovarin cyst. It firstly came into existence around 9th century depicted by Acharya Bahata followed by literatures like Rasa Ratna Sammuchaya, Yoga Tarangini, Bruhat Yoga Tarangini, Yogaratnakar, Rasa Tarangini, Bhaishjya Ratnavali etc was practicing these formulations to their patients. In this paper the developmental sequence of Pushpadhanwa rasa was deeply studied. An honest attempt has made to establish the periodical revolution of Pushpadhanwa rasa in the field of Vajikarana Chikistha. In this paper a good collection of Pushpdhanwa Rasa which could be utilized to prepare as per the need and use it clinically
Introduction to Statistical Analysis
No full textStatistical knowledge helps an individual use the proper methods to collect the data, employ the correct analyses, and effectively present the results. Statistics is a crucial process behind how we make discoveries in science & social science, make decisions based on data, and make predictions. This allows us to understand a subject much more deeply. This course has been designed for professional development and competency enhancement of working professionals associated with field work, research, and impact and feedback studies in various fields of social sciences. The course is also intended for Under Graduate/Post Graduate students for their dissertation/ project work and Ph.D. scholars. This course is designed to help participants to understand the important concepts of statistical analysis and statistical inference to enable them to better interpret the results of their research and contribute to the field of research and development effectively, meaningfully and productively with a forward-looking approach for further development. Implementation of the course offers flexibility with options for learning the content. You will learn from reading e-text, videos, participation in discussions forum, preparation and submission of assignments/activities, and short quizzes. Certification is available with certain specific criteria based on extent of participation, involvement, interaction and performance in each module of the course
Cascades: What Is It and How Did It Reach Sustainability in a Highly Competitive Sector?

How to succeed in reconciling profitability with environmental and social sustainability?
Case synopsis
In an opinion article published in Les Affaires, a Quebecer newspaper, Professor Robert Dutton (HEC Montreal) underscored quite rightfully that ethics is useful when it disturbs. Reproaching to ethics, governance and responsibility rules “to bother” is to corroborate their very raison d’être. Some companies adopted a different stance though with regard to responsibility. Instead of considering it as a burden, they integrated its principles as a key distinctive business feature, which ultimately resulted in a competitive advantage. The case presents a company which managed to achieve just that. It portrays the family-owned “Cascades” company in Quebec, Canada. The company started in the 1960s in the fields of manufacturing, processing and marketing of packaging products and tissue paper, mainly composed of recycled fibers to become a world-class giant through various mergers, acquisitions and business expansion in the 2010s. What is remarkable about this company is that this successful expansion did not change its core values and principles, even in the most difficult times. In fact, Cascades was able to remain truthful to its founding principles, and it might be precisely that form of integrity which propelled the company to the summit. It appears that Cascades did not succeed despite sustainable development practices but rather because of them. The case is therefore articulated around the four key success factors of (1) culture and values, (2) stakeholder management, (3) reuse philosophy and (4) resource efficiency, which have contributed to Cascades’ success in reconciling profitability with environmental and social sustainability, hence sustainable development
Sustainability Marketing in the National Football League (NFL): The Case of the Philadelphia Eagles
No full textA growing number of organizations are embracing green practices. In particular, the National Football League (NFL) has a long experience in successful marketing strategies, including sustainability marketing. In addition to being the biggest professional league in the world, it is also one of the most concerned about sustainability needs. The example of a particular football team is presented in this chapter. The Philadelphia Eagles run the Go Green campaign, which is the most influencing sustainability program of any professional sport club. Since 2003, they are developing a sustainability marketing strategy, which takes advantage of the power of the sport to influence fans, without losing interest in the game. Today, the Philadelphia Eagles stadium can produce about 33% of its entire yearly energy usage.Sin financiaciónBook Citation Index (Business; Management)No data Scopus104 SPI – ICEE (2018), 1/26 Economía – Editoriales extranjerasUE
