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
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
Stanovanjsko financiranje s pomočjo nacionalne stanovanjske varčevalne sheme : diplomsko delo
Get PDFSTART - UP FINANCING
Get PDFV magistrskem delu ugotavljamo specifike start-up podjetij ter njihov vpliv na dostopnost in primernost posameznih virov financiranja. Ko ugotovimo in razdelamo poglavitne specifike, ki na splošno veljajo za start-up podjetja, se lotimo proučevanja faz financiranja, skozi katera start-up prehajajo. Vsako od sedmih tipičnih faz financiranja start-up podjetij opredelimo z vidika značilnosti, ki za start-up podjetja v specifični razvojni fazi veljajo.
Prvo polovico teoretičnega dela zaključimo z analizo področja vrednotenja start-up podjetij, ki je podobno kot razvojna faza, v kateri se podjetje nahaja in je ključnega pomena za ugotavljanje primernosti posameznih virov financiranja. V drugi polovici teoretičnega dela se ukvarjamo izključno z analizo različnih virov financiranja ter njihovih poglavitnih značilnosti, ki bolj ali manj vplivajo na njihovo naklonjenost financiranju start-up podjetij.
V osrednjem analitičnem delu magistrske naloge na podlagi predhodnih ugotovitev najprej analiziramo sprejemljivost posameznih splošnih značilnosti start-up podjetij za posamezne vire financiranja. Nato posamezne vire financiranja proučimo z vidika primernosti glede na razvojno fazo, v kateri se start-up podjetje nahaja. Kot zadnje, izpostavimo relevantnost oz. irelevantnost različnih metod vrednotenja start-up podjetij za posamezne vire financiranja.In this thesis we identify the specifics of start-up companies and their impact on the availability and suitability of individual financing sources. In the theoretical part, additionally to the characteristics of start-up companies, we also examined various typical phases of financing through which a successful start-up companies pass.We define each of the seven typical phases of start-up financing based on characteristics that apply for start-up companies in specific development phase.
We conclude the first half of the theoretical part with an analysis of the start-up evaluation, which is similarly to the development phase in which the company is located , vital for determining the availability of individual sources of financing. In the second half of the theoretical part, we are dealing exclusively with the analysis of the various sources of financing and their main characteristics , which more or less affect their preference for financing start-ups
On the basis of the preliminary findings, in the central analytical part of the master\u27s thesis we firstly analyze the admissibility of certain general characteristics of start-up companies for individual sources of financing. Then we examine the individual sources of financing in terms of their relation to the development phase in which start-up company is located. Finally, we highlight the relevance or irrelevance of various methods of evaluation start-up companies for individual sources of financing
