Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Fatores ambientais, sociais e de governança (ASG) em instituições financeiras brasileiras
Full text linkEnvironmental, social and governancefactors, recognized in the acronym ESG, are increasinglyimportant and gainingspacebetweenvariouseconomic and social discussions, with the essentialneed for academicreflectionsonthis approach for the development of a policyrelatedto the theme in the country. The acronymrepresents a set of criteriaaimingatimproving the environment, advancing a culture of social responsibility and legitimizingbestgovernancepractices. In the financial sector, interest in the subjectisshown and the analysis and decision-making are attachedto the ESG issues. Given the above, the objectiveproposed in thisstudywastoanalyze, basedoninternationalparameters and correspondingBrazilianregulatoryguidelines, whichcriteriaBrazilian financial institutions use in the evaluation of ESG assets. Tothisend, it described and analyzed the criteriaindicatedbyinternational and Brazilianregulatorybodies and authors of the field for evaluation of ESG assets, in additiontoanalyzing the adherencebetween the parametersestablishedby the regulatorybodies and the criteriaappliedbyBrazilian financial institutions in the classification and management of ESG assets. Basedmainlyoncategorical data, it wasgroundedonbibliographic and documentaryresearch, through the collection of information in books, scientificarticles, research and reportsfromofficial financial institutions and otherrelevantactors in the financial market. It concludedthat the localized material allowsaffirming the influence of the Principles for SustainableInvestment (PRI) as the mainguide for the formulation of the Socio-environmentalResponsibility Policies (PRSA) on the organizations, translatedinto self-regulatoryactions of the SecuritiesCouncil, whichreflectson the reproduction of the general and externalevaluation points and limits the impacton the capital market, notbeinglocatedreferencethatconstitutes a proposalor tool thatcontemplates the national reality.Fatores ambientais, sociais e de governança, reconhecidos na sigla ASG, recebem cada vez mais importância e ganham espaço entre diversas discussões econômicas e sociais, sendo imprescindível a necessidade de reflexões acadêmicas sobre essa abordagem para o desenvolvimento de uma política relacionada ao tema no país. A sigla representa um conjunto de critérios que visa melhorias para proteger o meio ambiente, o avanço de uma cultura de responsabilidade social e legitima melhores práticas de governança. No setor financeiro demonstra-se interesse no tema e anexa em suas atividades a análise e tomada de decisões às questões ASG. Diante do exposto, o objetivo proposto neste trabalho foi analisar, fundamentado nos parâmetros internacionais e correspondentes diretrizes regulatórias brasileiras, quais critérios as instituições financeiras brasileiras utilizam na avaliação dos ativos ASG. Para tal, descreveu e analisou os critérios indicados por órgãos reguladores internacionais e brasileiros e autores do campo para avaliação de ativos ASG, além de analisar a aderência entre os parâmetros estabelecidos pelos órgãos reguladores e os critérios aplicados por instituições financeiras brasileiras na classificação e gestão de ativos ASG. Baseando-se majoritariamente em dados categóricos, fundamentou-se em pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais, por meio da coleta de informações em livros, artigos científicos, pesquisas e relatórios de instituições financeiras oficiais e outros atores relevantes do mercado financeiro. Concluiu-se que o material localizado permite afirmar a influência dos Princípios para Investimento Sustentável (PRI) como principal guia para formulação das Políticas de Responsabilidade Socioambiental (PRSA) nas organizações, traduzidas em ações autorregulatórias do Conselho de Valores Mobiliários, o que reflete na reprodução dos pontos de avaliação gerais, externos e limita o impacto ao mercado de capitais, não sendo localizada referência que constitua proposta ou ferramenta que contemple a realidade nacional.São Cristóvão, S
A importância da educação financeira como componente do currículo escolar : um estudo com alunos em Nossa Senhora do Socorro/SE
Full text linkThe theme of financial education has been gaining increasing importance and gaining space among several social and advantages, the need for this approach being essential for the development of the country and its inhabitants. Financial education provides knowledge and information about basic behavior related to the best use of resources that contribute to a healthy and balanced financial life. Given the above, the objective of this work proposed is to study the analysis of knowledge and the importance of Financial Education in the opinion of students from Nossa Senhora do Socorro, in Sergipe. To this end, the relationship between the presence or absence of habits and financial knowledge in relation to the existence of educational programs is explored. Using a mixed method, it is based on bibliographic and documentary research, through data collection in books, scientific articles, surveys, reports, and official financial institutions. The analysis items related to the study were knowledge and basic skills in finance, perception of indebtedness and default, and the use of financial education in schools. For data collection, it was requested directed to high school students who revealed the student interest in the subject, but associated with low knowledge and lack of uniform and lasting initiatives in the school environment. In addition, greater interest in disseminating information to the family environment was identified, where the financial problem usually occurs.O tema educação financeira vem recebendo cada vez mais importância e ganhando espaço entre diversas discussões econômicas e sociais, sendo imprescindível a necessidade dessa abordagem para o desenvolvimento do país e dos seus habitantes.

Diante do exposto, o objetivo proposto neste trabalho analisar o conhecimento e a importância da Educação Financeira na opinião dos estudantes de Nossa Senhora do Socorro, em Sergipe. Para tal, exploram-se relações da presença ou ausência de hábitos e conhecimentos financeiros em relação a existência de programas educativos. Utilizando método misto, fundamenta-se em pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais, por meio da coleta de dados em livros, artigos científicos, pesquisas, relatórios, e instituições financeiras oficiais. Os itens de análise relacionados ao estudo foram o conhecimento e as competências básicas em finanças, a percepção de endividamento e inadimplência, e o uso de educação financeira nas escolas. Para coleta de dados foi aplicado questionário direcionado a estudantes do Ensino Médio que revelou o interesse discente no tema, mas associado ao baixo conhecimento e a falta de iniciativas uniformes e duradouras no ambiente escolar. Em adicional identificou-se maior interesse na disseminação da informação para o ambiente familiar, onde efetivamente costuma ocorrer o problema financeiro.São Cristóvão, S
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
