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
PERBEDAAN PENGAMBILAN RISIKO WIRAUSAHA DITINJAU DARI JENIS MOTIVASI BERWIRAUSAHA
No full textABSTRACT Entrepreneurship is an activity that involves risk, so a risk-taking attitude is required for entrepreneurs to develop a business. Previous studies have confirmed that entrepreneurs' risk-taking is affected by individuals' motivation to start businesses. However, most studies focused on two types of motivation - necessity-based or opportunity-based or pulled and pushed - even though individual entrepreneurial motivations vary. This research aims to fill the gap by examining the risk-taking in 100 entrepreneurs regarding six types of motivation (Reluctant entrepreneurs, convenience entrepreneurs, economically driven entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, learning and earning entrepreneurs, and prestige and control entrepreneurs). Participants are 100 entrepreneurs in South Sulawesi who are founders, run their businesses every day, and are willing to participate in the research. The effects of examination suggest a distinction in the risk-taking of entrepreneurs based on their motivation. Prestige and control entrepreneurs are the highest risk-takers, while social entrepreneurs are the lowest. Research also suggests that the effect of education on risk-taking is significantly different. However, the difference in risk-taking among male and female entrepreneurs is insignificant. Our research has potential practical benefits to assist policymakers or business advisors in mapping risks according to business development potential based on an entrepreneur's entrepreneurial motivation categories, help women to increase their confidence in taking risks for their businesses, and encourage entrepreneurs to continue to learn and improve their abilities in both formal and informal environments.Keywords: entrepreneur, entrepreneurial motivation, entrepreneurial risk-taking ABSTRAKKewirausahaan merupakan suatu kegiatan yang memiliki risiko, sehingga diperlukan sikap berani mengambil risiko bagi wirausaha dalam mengembangkan usahanya. Penelitian sebelumnya telah mengkonfirmasi bahwa pengambilan risiko wirausaha dipengaruhi oleh motivasi individu untuk memulai bisnis. Namun, sebagian besar penelitian berfokus pada dua jenis motivasi – berdasarkan kebutuhan (necessity-based) atau berdasarkan peluang (opportunity-based) atau pulled and pushed – meskipun motivasi berwirausaha individu berbeda-beda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisi kesenjangan tersebut dengan mengkaji pengambilan risiko pada 100 wirausaha mengenai enam jenis motivasi, yaitu reluctant entrepreneurs, convenience entrepreneurs, economically driven entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, learning and earning entrepreneurs, dan prestige and control entrepreneurs. Responden penelitian adalah 100 wirausaha di Sulawesi Selatan yang merupakan pendiri, menjalankan usahanya setiap hari dan bersedia berpartisipasi dalam penelitian. Dampak dari pemeriksaan ini menunjukkan adanya perbedaan dalam pengambilan risiko yang dilakukan wirausaha berdasarkan motivasi mereka. Prestige and control entrepreneurs merupakan pengambil risiko tertinggi, sedangkan social entrepreneurs merupakan pengambil risiko paling rendah. Penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh pendidikan terhadap pengambilan risiko berbeda secara signifikan. Namun, perbedaan pengambilan risiko antara wirausaha laki-laki dan perempuan tidak signifikan. Penelitian ini mempunyai potensi manfaat praktis untuk membantu pengambil kebijakan atau penasihat bisnis dalam memetakan risiko sesuai potensi pengembangan usaha berdasarkan kategori motivasi wirausaha seorang wirausaha, membantu perempuan untuk meningkatkan rasa percaya diri dalam mengambil risiko bagi usahanya, dan mendorong wirausaha untuk terus belajar dan meningkatkan kemampuannya baik di lingkungan formal maupun informal.Kata Kunci: motivasi berwirausaha, pengambilan risiko, wirausah
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.
