Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ СУЧАСНОЇ МОДЕЛІ ПЛАТІЖНОЇ СИСТЕМИ УКРАЇНИ
Full text linkThe paradigm of the renewed payment system of Ukraine presented in the work envisages comprehensive digitalization of society, development of fintech, set up to offer and provide payment services, to open access to payment systems and services through simplification of regulatory procedures and rules and their legislative consolidation. It is proposed to ensure maximum availability and convenience of payment services for users by creating broad competition in the field of payment services, which shall facilitate the entry of new entities into the payment market, as well as modernize payment systems in technical, technological, informational and security spheres. The main directions of development of the payment system of Ukraine assume that the main vector of the reform of the payment system of Ukraine, that shall be carried out using methodological approaches to its development and implementation, shall be simplification of access procedures for provision payment services to institutions (companies, organizations), receipt by the client of high-quality payment service and further integration of the payment system of Ukraine into the world. Methodological and strategic tasks for reforming the payment system of Ukraine are developed, as well as mechanisms for their implementation are proposed. Based on the analysis of the functioning of payment systems of the national economy, legislative and regulatory framework, as well as inefficient principles and rules of their operation and regulation, updated methodological approaches to the functioning of the payment system of Ukraine are proposed to their further integration into the European and world payment space and provision of quality payment services, as well as with the involvement of new subjects. The conceptual and categorical apparatus for the updated payment sphere with reflection of the offered necessary changes is developed. The methodological bases of functioning of the renewed payment system of the country that provide formation of necessary criteria, mechanisms and techniques for successful realization of the author's study are developed. Criteria for the efficiency of payment systems are developed, as well as the method for determining the efficiency of the payment system (Еps). Proposed method shall help to make a comparative analysis of the payment systems of the same segment of the payment service. Proposals for licensing of payment system participants are developed, which shall stipulate that it is not necessary to require participation in the payment system or its creation in order to provide payment services. Legislative consolidation of this important provision is proposed. Payment service providers can become participants in a payment or settlement system under conditions of functional necessity to perform a payment transaction, which is an important aspect of the paradigm of updating the payment system of Ukraine. The role of the NBU in the renewed payment system of the country as a regulator is outlined and defined, the NBU shall be responsible for modifying the payment system of the country in order to modernize it and comply with European and international standards, that provides development and introduction of legislative proposals for the possibility of their further implementation in the practice of the payment sphere.Представлена в роботі парадигма оновленої платіжної системи України передбачає всеохоплюючу діджиталізацію суспільства, розвиток фінтеху, максимально налаштованого на пропозицію та надання платіжних послуг, відкриття доступу до платіжних систем і послуг через спрощення регуляторних процедур і правил, а також їх законодавчого закріплення. Запропоновано забезпечити максимальну доступність і зручність платіжних сервісів для користувачів через створення широкої конкуренції у сфері платіжних послуг, що сприятиме виходу на платіжний ринок нових суб’єктів, а також модернізації та осучасненню платіжних систем у технічному, технологічному, інформаційному, безпековому плані. Представленими основними напрямами розвитку платіжної системи України через її реформування передбачається, що головним вектором реформи платіжної системи України, яку необхідно проводити з використанням методологічних підходів до її розробки та реалізації, повинно стати спрощення процедур доступу для надання платіжної послуги установам (компаніям, організаціям), отримання клієнтом якісної платіжної послуги та подальша інтеграція платіжної системи України у світову
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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.
