    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

    Poduzetništvo nije samo jedna od najvažnijih grana gospodarstva već i stil života osobe koja se bavi poduzetništvom. Poduzetništvo pruža velike mogućnosti ali od poduzetnika traži različite osobine koje nema svatko. Stvoriti nešto novo nije lako, a još uz to biti financijski uspješan treba znati. Poduzetnik je vrlo inteligentna, inovativna, organizirana i odgovorna osoba koja ima sposobnost planirati, svoju ideju pretvoriti u poduzetnički pothvat, preuzimajući rizike, stvoriti novu vrijednost, biti korak ispred konkurencije uz svijest o potrebama i željama kupaca. Mora vrlo dobro „izvagati“ koliki rizik preuzima u odnosu na predviđenu dobit, koliko izlaže sebe i svoju obitelj mogućnosti financijskog neuspjeha, odnosno koju dobrobit stvara uspješnim poslovnim projektom za sebe, svoju obitelj ali i zajednicu te društvo u cjelini. Poduzetništvo je izazov, a uz klimatske promjene, OPG je još veći izazov. To je bio poticaj za pisanje ovog poduzetničkog projekta. Život u okolici grada, u prirodi, bavljenje poljoprivredom, stjecanjem iskustva uzgajajući različite kulture, sagledavajući stanje tržišta, odabir je pao na proizvodnju češnjaka. Zato je glavna tema ovog završnog rada ekološka proizvodnja češnjaka. U prvom dijelu završnog rada govori se o pojmu poduzetnika, poduzetništva, obrta i obiteljsko poljoprivrednog gospodarstva. Drugi dio završnog rada govori o češnjaku, vrlo traženoj začinskoj biljci i njegovim agrotehničkim karakteristikama. Slijedi razrada projektne ideje sa svim potrebnim inputima do konačne realizacije projekta. Obuhvaćeni su svi potrebni podatci koji se odnose na sva potrebna materijalna sredstva kao što su: zemljište, mehanizacija, oprema, sušare, zaštitna sredstva, financijska sredstva, radna snaga i ostalo. Nastavak završnog rada obuhvaća podatke o proizvodima, izvorima financiranja, tržištu, konkurenciji, SWOT analizu, marketingu koji će se provoditi, potrebnim financiranjima, različite izračune koji se odnose na upravljanje učinkovitost i osjetljivost projekta.Entrepreneurship is not only one of the most important branches of the economy, but also the lifestyle of a person engaged in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship offers great opportunities, but requires different qualities from an entrepreneur that not everyone has. Creating something new is not easy, and you also need to know how to be financially successful. An entrepreneur is a very intelligent, innovative, organized and responsible person who has the ability to plan, turn his idea into an entrepreneurial venture, taking risks, creating new value, being one step ahead of the competition while being aware of the needs and wishes of customers. He must "weigh" very well how much risk he takes in relation to the expected profit, how much he exposes himself and his family to the possibility of financial failure, or what benefit he creates with a successful business project for himself, his family, but also the community and society as a whole. Entrepreneurship is a challenge, and with climate change, family farm is an even bigger challenge. This was the impetus for writing this entrepreneurial project. Living in the surroundings of the city, in nature, doing agriculture, gaining experience growing different crops, looking at the state of the market, the choice fell on the production of garlic. That is why the main topic of this final paper is the ecological production of garlic. In the first part of the final thesis, the concept of entrepreneur, entrepreneurship, craft and family farm is discussed. The second part of the final thesis talks about garlic, a highly sought-after herb, and its agrotechnical characteristics. This is followed by the elaboration of the project idea with all the necessary inputs until the final realization of the project. All necessary data related to all necessary material resources such as: land, machinery, equipment, dryers, protective equipment, financial resources, workforce and others are included. The continuation of the final work includes data on products, sources of financing, market, competition, SWOT analysis, marketing that will be carried out, necessary financing, various calculations related to managing the efficiency and sensitivity of the project

    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
