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
Dochód krajów – partnerów handlowych i wzrost gospodarczy w Ukrainie
No full textThis study aimed to empirically estimate the long-term and short-term relations between the output of trading partners and economic growth in Ukraine. With the use of quarterly data over the 2004-2019 period, it was found that an increase of output in the euro area resulted in the most substantial stimulating long-term effect on the level of GDP in Ukraine, followed by spillovers from output growth in Poland. There was no long-term effect of output in other major trading partners, such as other Central and Eastern European countries (Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia) and the former Soviet Union countries (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia). In the short run, the stimulating effect of foreign output was confirmed only for spillovers from the euro area. Among other results, there was a longterm contractionary effect of both exchange rate depreciation and liberalisation of the economic environment, as indicated by the Index of Economic Freedom from the Washington-based Heritage Foundation (both factors are neutral with respect to Ukraine's output in the short run).Przeprowadzone badanie ma na celu oszacowanie empiryczne relacji długoi krótkookresowych między dochodem krajów – partnerów handlowych i wzrostem gospodarczym na Ukrainie. Na podstawie danych kwartalnych z lat 2004-2019 oszacowano, że największy wpływ na poziom PKB Ukrainy ma wzrost dochodu w krajach strefy euro, a kolejnym stymulatorem jest wzrost gospodarczy w Polsce. W długim okresie nie odnotowano oddziaływania wzrostu gospodarczego krajów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej (Czechy, Słowacja, Węgry) oraz krajów byłego Związku Radzieckiego (Białoruś, Kazachstan, Rosja). W krótkim okresie potwierdza się stymulujący wpływ dochodu partnerów handlowych wyłącznie z krajów strefy euro. W długim okresie deprecjacja kursu walutowego oraz liberalizacja środowiska ekonomicznego ma niekorzystne oddziaływanie na wzrost gospodarczy Ukrainy, co ustalono na podstawie Indeksu Wolności Gospodarczej amerykańskiej fundacji Heritage Foundation (oba czynniki są neutralne względem wzrostu gospodarczego Ukrainy w krótkim okresie)

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
GERMAN FISCAL AUSTERITY EFFECTS ON INVESTMENTS AND EXPORTS IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
No full textFiscal austerity in Germany used to be blamed for a stagnant growth in the European countries. However, it seems not to be the case for the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. As it is established on the basis of vector error-correction model (VECM) estimates for quarterly series over the 2002-2015 period, a positive non-Keynesian spillover from the fiscal austerity in Germany to output in the CEE countries is realized mainly through an increase in investments, with the export channel being rather ambiguous across countries. Following an improvement in the German budget balance, there is a decrease in exports measured as percent of GDP in 6 out of 10 CEE countries. Depreciation of the real exchange rate (RER) is found for countries with exchange rate flexibility, while the opposite effect of RER appreciation is observed in countries with a fixed exchange rate arrangement. It is possible to argue that spillover effects of German austerity on the CEE countries are dominated by capital flows or confidence measures while foreign demand or relative price channels are rather weak
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
