    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Full text link
    We 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

    FDI, EXCHANGE RATE, AND EXPORT NEXUS AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA: A GRANGER CAUSALITY APPROACH

    No full text
    This study aims to analyze FDI, Exchange Rate, and Export in the Automotive Industry in Indonesia. Data used from 2006 -2019 with the VAR method. The results obtained in this study are the three variables that do not have a cointegration relationship so the estimation uses the VAR model. Furthermore, the Granger Causality test results show that there is a one-way relationship for each variable. The causal relationship, namely FDI affects the exchange rate, exports affect the exchange rate. VAR test results show that the entry of FDI and the exchange rate does not significantly affect exports. Furthermore, FDI significantly affects the exchange rate, this is because of the integrated trading model with low Exchange Rate volatility. For this reason, it is very important to note the direction of capital inflows, which are used to finance domestic expenditure or finance accumulated capital in the traded or non-traded sectors. If capital inflows are used to finance domestic consumption, it must increase purchasing power and demand for goods traded. The study provides a descriptive picture for the Islamic pension fund provider and government to set a product based on the Muslim attitude and expectation. As far as we are concerned, there is only a small number of research on analyzing FDI, Exchange Rate, and Export but in this research specific on Automotive Industry evidence from Indonesia. This article can give contribution to policy.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis FDI, Nilai Tukar, dan Ekspor pada Industri Otomotif di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan dari tahun 2006 -2019 dengan metode VAR. Hasil yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah ketiga variabel tersebut tidak memiliki hubungan kointegrasi sehingga pendugaannya menggunakan model VAR. Selanjutnya, hasil uji Granger Causality menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan satu arah untuk setiap variabel. Hubungan sebab akibat yaitu FDI mempengaruhi nilai tukar, ekspor mempengaruhi nilai tukar. Hasil uji VAR menunjukkan bahwa masuknya FDI dan nilai tukar tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap ekspor. Selanjutnya FDI berpengaruh signifikan terhadap nilai tukar, hal ini dikarenakan model perdagangan yang terintegrasi dengan volatilitas Nilai Tukar yang rendah. Untuk itu, sangat penting untuk diperhatikan arah arus masuk modal yang digunakan untuk membiayai pengeluaran dalam negeri atau membiayai akumulasi modal di sektor-sektor yang diperdagangkan atau tidak diperdagangkan. Jika arus modal masuk digunakan untuk membiayai konsumsi domestik, maka harus meningkatkan daya beli dan permintaan barang yang diperdagangkan. Kajian ini memberikan gambaran deskriptif bagi penyedia dana pensiun syariah dan pemerintah untuk menetapkan suatu produk berdasarkan sikap dan harapan umat Islam. Sejauh yang kami ketahui, hanya sedikit penelitian yang menganalisis FDI, Nilai Tukar, dan Ekspor tetapi dalam penelitian ini khusus pada bukti Industri Otomotif dari Indonesia. Artikel ini dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap kebijakan

    We 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

    KAUSALITAS ANTARA MASUKNYA INVESTASI DARI RRT, INVESTASI AS DAN EKSPOR JASA INDONESIA

    Sektor jasa dari Amerika Serikat  (AS) dengan masuknya FDI dari Tiongkok (RRT) serta pengaruhnya pada ekspor jasa Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptip dan estimasi dengan pendekatan VECM. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa investasi sektor jasa menempati porsi terbesar dari total investasi RRT di Indonesia. Sementara itu, untuk FDIAS, sektor ini berada di urutan kedua di bawah sektor primer namun pertumbuhannya paling besar. Hasil estimasi VECM menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan Kausalitas Granger jangka panjang satu arah dengan FDICH sebagai variabel terikat.  Selanjutnya terdapat hubungan kausalitas Granger jangka pendek dua arah antara FDI AS dengan FDI RRT. FDI AS juga memiliki hubugan kasalitas dua arah dengan ekspor. Sementara itu tidak terdapat hubungan kausalitas jangka pendek antara FDI RRT dengan ekspor. Dengan kata lain, dalam jangka panjang, kebedaraan FDIUS di Indonesia memacu masuknya FDI RRT ke Indonesia, sementara dalam jangka pendek masuknya investor AS didorong oleh adanya investor RRT dan sebaliknya. Selanjutnya, FDI AS signifikan mendorong ekspor sementara FDI RRT tidak
