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
COVID-19 : Convergence des programmes budgétaires publics comme levier de performance face aux défis de la crise Cas du Maroc
Full text linkAujourd’hui, le Maroc enregistre encore, une faible articulation entre les différentes stratégies sectorielles déployées dans le cadre du plan de développement national, qui fixe les grandes orientations stratégiques du pays. Cependant l’accélération de l’adoption de la démarche de performance budgétaire, permettrait le rehaussement des capacités des gestionnaires publics à capitaliser les facteurs essentiels à la synergie des actions sectorielles, et d’avoir un positionnement objectif vis-à-vis des fluctuations de la conjoncture économique, notammen en état de crise, à l’instar de la pandémie COVID-19 qui nécessite un niveau très élevé de coordination entre divers secteurs, un arbitrage rationnel entre les objectifs et des meilleurs choix au moment opportun. De même l’alignement des objectifs fixés par les stratégies sectorielles avec les perspectives de développement du pays, l’instauration des dispositifs de coordination nécessaires à leur déploiement et des mécanismes de suivi et de contrôle des politiques publiques, constitue un effet de levier colossal à la réussite de tout chantier adopté, et la concrétisation des stratégies prédéfinies
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
Approche budgétaire axée sur les Résultats, transformation économique et développement inclusif au Maroc : Une approche analytique à la lumière des dispositions édictées par la LOLF N°130-13.
Full text linkLa réforme budgétaire axée sur les résultats tend à instaurer une politique économique et sociale qui se fixe comme objectif majeur d’améliorer le niveau de vie des citoyens, de relever les défis de la modernisation et de la restructuration des secteurs publics à l’ère de la nouvelle gestion publique(NGP). L’apport de cette approche en matière d’accélération de la transformation économique, et la réalisation du développement inclusif porte un intérêt particulier. A travers le présent article, nous essayons d’apporter un éclairage analytique sur cette thématique, en se focalisant sur les dispositions novatrices de la nouvelle loi organique relative à la loi de finances N°130-13
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
LA GOUVERNANCE DES COOPERATIVES AU MAROC: L’IDENTITE COOPERATIVE A L’EPREUVE DE LA PRATIQUE
Full text linkAu Maroc, les coopératives jouent un rôle important dans le développement socio-économique à travers leurs valeurs de démocratie, de solidarité, de partage et d’entraide. Nous avons constaté que plusieurs travaux théoriques ont tenté de proposer une description des particularités coopératives, par contre peu de travaux empiriques ont été réalisés pour étudier les particularités de ces structures en termes de mécanismes de gouvernances. L’objectif de cet article est de présenter les particularités de la gouvernance coopérative dans le contexte marocain, à travers l’étude qualitative de deux coopératives agricoles dans l’oriental du Maroc
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
