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
Popularization of sports recreation in the local community through strategic communication
No full textSportska rekreacija pokušava se, od raznih organizacija, sve više implementirati u svakodnevni život pojedinaca. Razlozi su uglavnom vezani uz zdravstvene dobrobiti, a navode se i emocionalna, socijalna i društvena uloga te ekonomski potencijal. Svrha i cilj istraživanja temelji se na pretpostavci da će dobar i prihvatljiv program u smislu pristupačnosti, zanimljivosti i financija privući puno više osoba koje bi se počele ili nastavile baviti tjelesnom aktivnošću u kontinuitetu, dok se specifičnost rada nalazi u univerzalnom komunikacijskom akcijskom planu koji će moći koristiti sve županije u Hrvatskoj prilagođavajući ga karakteristikama svoje zajednice. Iz tog razloga je provedena anketa među županijskim uredima za sport/rekreaciju, a rezultati u konačnici prikazuju zbirna razmišljanja sudionika, koja modeliraju ideju predloška plana. Strategija se očituje u minimalizaciji odustajanja, ne postavljajući gotovo nikakve troškove za sudionike, odnosno vrlo male za organizatora uz istovremenu opciju nagrađivanja. Osim navedenog, program Komunikacijskog akcijskog plana pruža mogućnost povezivanja, usmjeravajući dio sudionika prema drugim programima koji im bolje odgovaraju ili se odvijaju na različitim razinama.Sport recreation is increasingly being implemented into individuals daily lives by various organization. The reasons are mainly related to health benefits, and the emotional, social and societal role, as well as economical potencial. The purpose and goal of the research is based on the assumption that a good and acceptable program in terms of accessibility, interesting content and finances will attract many more individuals to start or continue to engage in physical activity consistently, while the specifity of the work is in the universal communication action plan that that can be used by all counties in Croatia, adapting it to the characteristics of their community. For this reason, a survey was conducted among the county sports/recreation offices, and the results ultimately show the collective thoughts of the participants, which shape the idea of the plan template. The strategy manifest itself in the minimization of withdrawals, setting almost no cost for the participants and very low cost for the organizer, with the simultaneous option of rewarding participants. Additionaly, the Communication action plan program provides the possibility of connecting participants, directing some towards other programs that better suit them or are conducted at different levels

The influence of media platforms on the negotiation success in the Croatian music industry
No full textPregovaranje je jedna od osnovnih ljudskih osobina i ne tiče se isključivo poslovnih procesa. Razlog je to zbog čega je pregovaranje izrazito važno. U hrvatskoj glazbenoj industriji kroz godine i desetljeća mijenjali su se razni čimbenici koji su direktno ili indirektno utjecali na uspješnost pregovaranja, a ovaj rad usmjeren je na utjecaj elektronskih medija. Nakon desetljeća neuređenih odnosa i piratstva u glazbenoj industriji, elektronski mediji u zadnjih nekoliko godina uspijevaju stabilizirati i vratiti tržište glazbe prema legalnom konzumerizmu. Takve karakteristike učinile su elektronske medije poželjne svim stranama zbog čega imaju značajan utjecaj u pregovaranju, odnosno njegovoj uspješnosti.Negotiation is one of the basic human characteristics and does not exclusively concern business processes. That is the main reason why the negotiation is extremely important.
Various factors have changed in the Croatian music industry over the years and decades that have directly or indirectly affected negotiation success, and this paper focuses on the influence of electronic media. After decades of unregulated relationships and piracy in the music industry, electronic media have in recent years been able to stabilize and restore the music market to legal consumerism. Such characteristics have made the electronic media desirable to all parties and therefore have a significant impact in the negotiation and/or its success
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
