Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
A Study on Business Analysis of Container Terminal Operation in Busan Port
Get PDFThe competition structure of port industry has been changed by the recent global financial crisis. In addition, the excessive competition of container terminals in Busan Port has been increasingly intensifying.
Since Busan New Port opened, the competitiveness for Busan North Port has been getting worse due to deteriorated facilities as well as geological condition, lower sea level. With these weakness, the volume of cargo handled at Busan New Port has been still on the rise while cargo handling volume at Busan North Port has fallen resulting in the gradual widening productivity gap.
Under this circumstances, container handling tariff has sharply decreased and terminal operators in Busan North Port suffer serious revenue deficit.
The overall study objective is to suggest effective methods to overcome the financial problems and improve the competitiveness of container terminal operators in order to set up co-prosperity and promote balanced and sustainable development between Busan North Port and Busan New Port.
This study analyzed and compared the financial status of 8 terminal operators in Busan Port categorized in storage and support activities for transportation.
This study sheds light on this issue by conducting an empirical analysis using two methodologies.
The first method is twelve financial ratio analysis incorporated by financial indicator applied to business analysis. Each index has a limitation to show business performance by itself. So as an comprehensive approach, Index Method is used to evaluate summated ratings in respect of each indicator.
The second analysis used in this study is A. Wall's Index Method and Trant's Index Method for the comparative business analysis among the terminal operators in Busan Port.
In the process of analyzing key financial ratios of the terminal operators in comparison with an average ratio of the H52, Storage and support activities for transportation industry in Korea, total numerical value is created. With Index Method, each numerical value on a maximum of 100 points is compared to the others in order to develop a more objective criteria of judgement of collective business performance.
Looking into the result from the analysis, the profit trend, growth rate and turnover are found to be quite different between North Port and New Port in Busan. All related matters are caused by the current situation where Busan North Port is getting worse in financial position while Busan New Port appears the opposite. Also, the debt ratios, total borrowings and bonds payable to total asset of the terminal operators in Busan North Port were much higher than Busan New port. In case of equity ratio of Busan North Port operators, it is shown much lower than standard ratio.
This study points out the sluggish sales in Busan North Port and suggests effective solutions to the problems including measures to increase revenue as well as reduce operational cost.
The findings of this study provide meaningful implications for improvement plans as follows.
First, to make the maximum revenue in Busan Port needs to become a maritime logistics hub particularly of transshipment. In order to attract more transshipment freight and improve the transshipment competitiveness it is necessary to develop the ITT(Inter Terminal Transfer) system for saving transfer cost among container terminal operators in Busan.
Secondly, the legal basis for tariff approval system out to be established. The tariff in Busan North Port has been significantly dropped due to fierce competition between container terminal operators to accommodate more vessels and increase volume of cargo. To minimize the price gap compared with Singapore, Shanghai and Ningbo, major ports nearby Busan Port, the legal basis must put in a place. This effort will be a robust foundation to make overall tariff stabilization in gradual progress based on mutual agreement of parties involved.
Third, terminal operators need to change their operating system by utilizing Big data for securing port safety and transforming into Eco-friendly port. The big data analysis related to calling pattern and expenditure of shipping company contributes to enhancing the productivity as well as forging disaster recovery system. In particular, disaster recovery system is expected to maximize credibility of port operation and ensure high performance of port business through the immediate response with a computing database.
Forth, to make operation expense minimize, the fixed rental system is changed into volume linked terminal lease scheme with throughput ceiling system for each terminal operator. This scheme will support to mitigate the excessive competition and eventually improve the financial structure by saving the fixed cost.
Lastly, terminal operators need to induce outsourcing service for non-core functions of terminal operation to save the labor cost. The outsourcing workers should be mobilized if needed on the basis of proper deployment for securing flexibility of manpower structure.
With regard to the result from this study, it is found that the polarization of financial profit for terminal operators in Busan Port is caused by excessive competition and different financial structure. Therefore it remains critical that the problem facing Busan Port should be solved with not only stable supply of volume but also continuous management improvement in financial structural approach.
We expect that additional and feasible alternatives are suggested from the study to container terminal operators in Gwangyang and Inchun for achieving stabilization in Busan Port.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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.
