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
GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (GCG) AND SALES GROWTH ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE THAT IMPACT COMPANY VALUE FOR MINING SECTOR COMPANIES
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the influence of good corporate governance (GCG) and sales growth on financial performance and firm value, including the role of financial performance as a mediating variable. The method used is path analysis with the help of SPSS 29. The results show that GCG and sales growth have a significant effect on financial performance with a contribution of 11.2%. Furthermore, GCG and sales growth also have a significant effect on firm value, while financial performance has no significant effect on firm value. Simultaneously, the three independent variables contribute 22.3% to firm value, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside this study
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
Determinants of Financial Management Behavior and Implications on Investment Decision
Full text link- The purpose of this study was to determine the
effect of financial attitude, financial knowledge, and
emotional intelligence on financial management behavior
and its impact on investment decisions with risk perception
as a moderator. The sample of this research is 350
respondents from the 10 best securities companies. The
data analysis technique in this study used SEM-PLS with
SmartPLS 2.0 software. The results showed that the
financial attitude variable on the investment decision
variable was 0.180, the influence of financial knowledge on
the investment decision variable was 0.318, the influence of
emotional intelligence on the investment decision variable
was 0.386 and the risk perception of the investment
decision variable was 0.294. Based on the indirect effect
test, the effect of financial attitude on investment decision
variables through financial management behavior is 0.121,
financial knowledge influences financial management
behavior variables are 0.024, and the influence of
emotional intelligence on investment decision variables
through financial management behavior is 0.118. This
shows that financial management behavior is a variable
that can mediate the influence of financial attitude and
emotional intelligence on investment decisions. In the
moderation test, it is known that risk perception can
increase the influence of financial management behavior
on investment decisions
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
