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
Business Consulting para la Escuela de Negocios Zegel
No full textEl presente trabajo presenta un análisis integral del campus de Chiclayo de la Escuela
de Negocios Zegel, utilizando herramientas y metodologías analíticas para evaluar su
situación actual, identificar desafíos y oportunidades, y proponer soluciones estratégicas. El
análisis FODA del estudio destaca fortalezas como una facultad experimentada,
infraestructura moderna, oferta educativa diversificada, respaldo de Intercorp y ubicación
estratégica. Entre las debilidades se encuentran la atención de ventas centralizada, baja
retención de estudiantes, falta de visibilidad en rankings educativos, procesos burocráticos y
escasa innovación en los planes de estudio. Las oportunidades incluyen alianzas
internacionales y creciente demanda de educación en línea. Las amenazas abarcan alta
competencia, cambios en políticas de financiamiento educativo y variaciones demográficas.
Las Matrices de Evaluación de Factores Externos (EFE) e Internos (EFI) evaluaron las
oportunidades y amenazas externas, así como las fortalezas y debilidades internas. El
Diagrama de Pareto y el Modelo de Ishikawa identificaron y priorizaron problemas clave,
como la falta de comunicación efectiva del valor de la institución y la gestión inadecuada de
las relaciones con los clientes. Las soluciones estratégicas propuestas incluyen mejorar el
marketing y la comunicación, desarrollando contenido más atractivo para redes sociales y
otras plataformas digitales, las que obtiene un VAN de 3 ́143,303.80 y un TIR de 137% en un
periodo de cinco años. Se recomienda fortalecer la gestión de relaciones con los clientes
(CRM) mediante un sistema robusto para asegurar una mayor tasa de conversión de consultas
a matrículas. También se sugiere actualizar y diversificar los planes de estudio para alinearlos
con las demandas del mercado y los avances tecnológicos, explorar oportunidades para
alianzas internacionales y expandir la presencia de la institución en otras regiones.
Finalmente, se destacan programas de retención estudiantil, como asesoramiento académico,
ayuda financiera y actividades extracurriculares.The present work provides a comprehensive analysis of the Chiclayo campus of Zegel
Business School, utilizing analytical tools and methodologies to assess its current situation,
identify challenges and opportunities, and propose strategic solutions. The SWOT analysis
highlights strengths such as an experienced faculty, modern infrastructure, diversified
educational offerings, support from Intercorp, and strategic location. Weaknesses include
centralized sales attention, low student retention, lack of visibility in educational rankings,
bureaucratic processes, and limited innovation in curricula. Opportunities include
international partnerships and the growing demand for online education. Threats encompass
high competition, changes in educational financing policies, and demographic shifts. The
External Factor Evaluation (EFE) and Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) matrices assessed the
external opportunities and threats, as well as the internal strengths and weaknesses. The
Pareto Diagram and Ishikawa Model identified and prioritized key issues, such as ineffective
communication of the institution's value and inadequate management of customer
relationships. Proposed strategic solutions include improving marketing and communication
by developing more engaging content for social media and other digital platforms, which
results in an NPV of 3,143,303.85 and an IRR of 137% over five years. It is recommended to
strengthen customer relationship management (CRM) through a robust system to ensure a
higher conversion rate from inquiries to enrollments. Updating and diversifying curricula to
align with market demands and technological advancements is also suggested, along with
exploring opportunities for international partnerships and expanding the institution's presence
in other regions. Finally, student retention programs such as academic advising, financial aid,
and extracurricular activities are emphasized
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
