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
Analysis of Increase in Non-Taxable Income (NTI) in relation with Implementation of Equality Principles and Taxation Base Principles
Full text linkThis research discussed an increase of non-taxable income that expected to be able to step-up the purchasing power, especially in consumption. Increase on non-taxable income which applies has not reflected the equality principle in taxation like what people feel, where non-taxable income has not touched the sense of equality. It becomes a dilemma to the government for expanding the taxation base by increasing non-taxation income. Increase in non-taxable income can reduce the taxation base. Practice in Simplicity or Easy of Tax Administration concept make the application on equality principle in taxation is not maximal, because non-taxation income equalizes all taxpayers’ —rich nor poor, sick nor health, and citizens who are on education. Implementation of this concept is inseparable from taxpayer database condition which based on Identity Number that has not beneficial. Increase of non-taxable income also decreases the Tax Revenue Article 21 where the revenue decreased by 4.65% in 2016. Increase in non-taxable income is expected to boost the purchasing power of citizen, hence demand on goods and service will increase. With the increase of demand, production to absorb the employment that becomes the object of Non-Taxable Income Article 21
Combining Expenditure Assignment, Revenue Assignment and Grant Design in Indonesia’s Fiscal Decentralization
No full textAnalysis on Exchange of Information (EOI) to Increase the Quality of Investigation on Beneficial Owner Dispute (BO) According to Verdict of Tax Court from 2013 to 2015 in Directorate of Objection and Appeal
Full text linkBased on the research of Taxpayer who has done a cross-jurisdiction transaction, known that taxpayers have done several transactions with Tax Heaven country corporation. One of the goals of the transaction is to take advantage of the gap on Tax Treaty /P3B to achieve treaty benefit. Tax auditing is a tool to ensure that the party who received the income in treaty partner countries is the Beneficial Owner (BO) thus there will be no misused of P3B/treaty abuse. Exchange of Information (EOI) is a tool for gaining information, evidence, and/or explanation to gain a conviction of who are truly received the benefit. Considering the importance of quality of investigation to appeal in Tax Court, it is interesting to review about the usage of Exchange of Information (EOI) to increase the quality of tax investigation of BO dispute, in this case, Directorate of Objection and Appeal. In arranging this research, researchers used a qualitative approach considering the focus of research is the usage of EOI on the investigation which has many factors and not monocausal means there is no one single cause from social reality. This research intends to know the use of EOI in increasing quality of tax auditing if it is reviewed from Tax Court verdict, supporting entities and the efforts which support the use of EOI in increasing the investigation of beneficial owner dispute. The result of this research explains that EOI usage to increase the quality of tax auditing of beneficial owner dispute has not been maximal or still low if it is assessed from the Tax Court verdict which DGT's percentage of losing verdict is higher than winning verdict. Factors that contributes the usage of EOI in increasing the quality of examination is human resource, which have good quality and quantity of examiner, competent database system and good obedience of taxpayers, good technique of examining, clear and not misinterpreted rules of BO and EOI, good cooperation between partner country, good coordination and support in internal unit of DJP. Meanwhile, entities that could obstruct usage of EOI in increasing investigation quality of beneficial owner dispute is the human resource, which means that investigation quality that has to be increased and quantity of the investigators that are not sufficient. Directorate General of Taxes not yet has competent database, low obedience of taxpayers, absence of rules about Investigation Technique about beneficial owner dispute, limited period of investigation, different interpretations from judges, inchoate and unclear information in EOI, answers of EOI request that has not fulfilled by cooperating countries and unclear and weak rules about beneficial owne
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
