    1.Introduction This dashboard is aimed at providing a comprehensive data source that features the most important indicators related to the Chinese economy. The dashboard is divided into three sections, namely, sentiment data, high-frequency data, and low-frequency indicators. It will be updated on a monthly basis and the data can be downloaded directly from the webpage. General context The China Horizons project aims to contribute towards a better understanding of the Chinese economy and its impact on the global economy. The project seeks to achieve this goal by providing timely, accurate, and comprehensive data and analysis. The development of the dashboard is one of the tasks associated with this project, and it is expected to help researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to keep track of economic changes in China. 2.Methodological approach China’s Economy Data (CED) Platform The China’s Economy Data (CED) Platform is a web application that has been developed using the Python programming language. This platform is available online and provides users with access to a wide range of data related to the Chinese economy. The CED platform has been designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, with a simple interface that makes it easy for users to navigate and access the data they need. It is a comprehensive platform that features data related to various aspects of the Chinese economy, such as consumer and investment sentiment, inflation, employment among others. The platform is built on a robust database that is regularly updated with the latest economic data from various sources, including government agencies and international organizations. This ensures that users have access to accurate and up-to-date information. Sentiment Data The aim of this section is to collect relevant data and analyze it in order to gauge the overall sentiment of consumers and investors towards the Chinese economy. The consumer sentiment data has been derived by tracking user conversations on social media platform Weibo and analyzing them using the SNOWNLP sentiment analysis algorithm. This data has been collected across three main consumer categories - food, automobile, and fashion industry - and has been cleaned to remove irrelevant messages, ads, and noise. The sentiment has been calculated using the SnowNLP algorithm. The investment sentiment data, on the other hand, has been calculated based on news articles published in the Chinese media and analyzed using the https://huggingface.co/uer/roberta-base-finetuned-jd-binary-chinese algorithm. In addition to these, the China Horizons dashboard also includes the China Economic Policy Uncertainty Index, which has been calculated following the methodology presented by Hong-Kong Baptist University (https://cbade.hkbu.edu.hk/epu-mainland-china/). This index provides an indication of the level of uncertainty in the Chinese economy, and is an important indicator for investors and policymakers High-frequency Data In this section, we collect and process fast-changing publicly available data from different data sources such as National Bureau of Statistics, The People's Bank of China China Foreign Exchange Trade System Low-frequency Data Similarly to the High Frequency data we collect the data that is publish quarterly or less often, and we transform it to the format required by the platform. Among low-frequency data sources, we can find: Chinese Ministry of Financel, State Administration of Foreign Exchange & National Bureau of Statistics,The People's Bank of China, China Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, CEIC. 3.Summary of activities and/or research findings China’s Economy Data (CED) Platform platform that includes a dashboard, a database Data Update Pipeline a pipeline that ingests and processes the input data and updates the dashboard 4.Conclusions and future steps The platform gives a clear vision of key economic indicators in China. It will be updated once a month. 5.Bibliographical references (if applicable) Huang, Y., and Luk, P. (2019). “Measuring Economic Policy Uncertainty in China.” China Economic Review.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
