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
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

Simülasyon tekniği ile nakit bütçesinin oluşturulması ve bir uygulama
No full text06.03.2018 tarihli ve 30352 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayımlanan “Yükseköğretim Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile 18.06.2018 tarihli “Lisansüstü Tezlerin Elektronik Ortamda Toplanması, Düzenlenmesi ve Erişime Açılmasına İlişkin Yönerge” gereğince tam metin erişime açılmıştır.Sürekli bir teknolojik değişimin söz konusu olduğu ve küresel rekabetin yoğunlaştığı günümüz şartlarında işletmelerin varlıklarını sürdürebilmesi kaynaklarını en iyi şekilde yönetmelerine bağlıdır. Kaynaklarını daha etkin şekilde kullanmak isteyen işletmeler bunu bazı araçlar kullanarak gerçekleştirmektedirler. İşletmeler bu araçlarla kaynaklarını etkin şekilde kullanmanın yanı sıra ideal bir yönetim anlayışının geliştirilmesini ve desteklenmesini de amaçlamaktadırlar. Bu anlamda kullanılabilecek araçlardan biri bütçelerdir.Nakit bütçeleri de nakit yönetiminde kullanılan en önemli araçlardan biridir. Bir planlama aracı olarak nakit bütçeleri oluşturulurken tek bir faaliyet hacmine bağlı kalınması, nakit bütçelerine değişimlerin yansıtılmamasına neden olarak işletmenin gelecekteki nakit akışları hakkında doğru ve güvenilir bilgiler sunmayacaktır. Belirsizlik ve rassallığın ön planda olduğu durumlarda, hazırlanacak olan nakit bütçelerinin mevcut koşulların dışında karşılaşılabilecek tüm değişimleri içerir bir yapıya sahip olması gereklidir. Hazırlanacak nakit bütçeleri yönetime, nakit bütçesi değişkenlerinin aralarındaki ilişki veya değişkenlerin işletmenin nakit dengesi üzerindeki etkisini görebilme diğer bir ifadeyle yönetime farklı senaryolar sunarak bu senaryolara göre gelecekte karşılaşabilecekleri durumu öngörebilme ve bu doğrultuda geleceklerini planlayabilme imkânı vermelidir. Bu amaçla işletmelere önerilecek tekniklerden biri simülasyondur.Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı, deterministik simülasyon tekniğini kullanarak nakit bütçesi üzerinde senaryo analizi yapmak ve Monte Carlo simülasyonu tekniğini kullanmak suretiyle işletmelerin geleceğe yönelik nakit akışlarının planlanmasına ilişkin bir yapı sunmaktır.Bu amaçla çalışmada, nakit bütçesi ve simülasyon tekniği anlatılarak, bir üretim işletmesinin verilerinden faydalanmak suretiyle simülasyon tekniği ile nakit bütçeleri oluşturulup işletmelere farklı koşullar altındaki nakit durumlarını görmelerine ve risk değerlendirmesi yapabilmelerine olanak verecek bir yaklaşım ortaya konulmuştur. Sonrasında Monte Carlo simülasyon tekniğinin uygulanması suretiyle nakit bütçesinin temel dinamikliklerindeki değişiklikleri öngörmek suretiyle gelecek faaliyet dönemine ilişkin nakit açık ve fazlasının ne kadar olacağının öngörülmesine ilişkin bir yapı sunulmuştur.İşletmelere gelecekteki nakit akışlarını etkin bir şekilde planlamalarına olanak veren simülasyon tekniğinin örnek işletmeye uygulanmasıyla sadece bu konuda gelecekte çalışma yapmak isteyen araştırmacılara değil uygulayıcılara da önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.In today's conditions where continuous technological change and intensive global competition occur, the survivals of the enterprises depend on how well they manage their resources. The enterprises that want to use their sources more efficiently realize this by using some tools. As well as using their resources effectively by the help of these tools, enterprises aim to develop and support an ideal management approach. In this sense, one of the tools available is budgeting.Cash budgets are also one of the most important tools that are used in cash management. While creating cash budgets as planning tools, sticking to a single volume of activities will end up not reflecting the cash budget changes and as a result it will not provide accurate and reliable information about future cash flows of the enterprise. In the cases where uncertainty and randomness are in the foreground, the cash budget that will be prepared should have a structure which includes all the changes that could occur outside of the existing conditions.Preparation of the cash budget will help the enterprise to see the relationship between the variables of cash budget or the effect of these variables on the cash balance, in other words, it provides the prediction of the future status the enterprise will face by offering different scenarios and in this direction it gives the enterprise an opportunity to plan its future. With this aim, one of the techniques that can be proposed to the enterprises is simulation. With this direction, the aim of this study is making scenario analysis on the cash budget by using deterministic simulation technique and provide a structure for planning the future cash flows of the enterprises by using Monte Carlo simulation technique.For this purpose, in this study ,by explaining the cash budget and the simulation technique and using the data obtained from a production entreprise, cash budgets are created by using simulation technique and an approach which enables the enterprises to see the cash situations under different conditions and make risk assesments has been put forward. Later on, through the implementation of Monte Carlo simulation technique, with the condition of predicting the changes in the basic dynamics of the cash budget, a structure which enables to predict the amount of excess and open cash belonging to the future activities period is presented.With the implementation of the simulation technique, which enables the enterprises to plan their future cash flows efficiently, to a sample enterprise, it is believed that important contributions will be provided not only to researchers who want to make studies about this subject in the future but also to the practitioner
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.
