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
Effect of flexible working on labor costs and competitive power: Application on textıle industry
No full textTürkiye’deki işletmelerde ve özellikle tekstil işletmelerinde işgücü maliyetlerinin çok yüksek ve işgücü verimliliğinin çok düşük olduğu görülmektedir. Bu durum, uluslararası pazarlarda bu işletmelerin rekabet gücünü azaltmaktadır. Bu nedenle gelişmiş ülkelerin deneyimlerinden yola çıkarak, işgücü maliyetlerinin düşük düzeyde tutulmasında ve rekabet gücünün yükseltilmesinde esnek çalışma biçimlerinin iyi bir çözüm olabileceği düşünülebilir. Bu amaçla, bu çalışmada Türkiye’de tekstil sektöründe bir alan araştırması yapılmıştır.Enterprises, especially textile enterprises, in Turkey shows that labor costs are very high and the labor productivity is very low. This situation causes the enterprises to lose the competitive power in international market. It may be considered that the flexible working types are a solution to decrease the labor costs and increase the competitive power. Because of this, it is necessary to benefit from the experiences of developed countries. With this aim, in this work, a field survey is done in textile sector in Turkey
Zaman Etkenli Faaliyet Tabanlı Maliyetleme
No full textFaaliyet tabanlı maliyetleme (FTM) yöntemi, 1980'li yılların ortasında Harvard Business School'da yazılan birkaç olay ve makaleler sonucunda ortaya çıkmıştır. FTM yöntemi çok sayıdaki işletmede uygulanması zor olmaktadır. Bunun nedeni ise, FTM'nin uygulanması için yapılan araştırmalar ve görüşmelerin yüksek maliyetli, dağıtımların göreceli ve maliyetli olması ve yöntemin güncelleştirilmesi ve sürdürülmesinin zorluğudur. Zaman etkenli FTM yöntemi, FTM (geleneksel olarak ifade edilmekte) yöntemine alternatif bir yaklaşım olarak Kaplan ve Anderson tarafından ortaya konmuştur. Bu yöntem, daha basit, daha az maliyetli ve daha hızlı uygulanmakta ve maliyet etkenlerinin pratik kapasiteye dayanmasına izin vermektedir.Activity-based costing (ABC) method was occured in the mid- 1980s by reason of several Harvard Business School cases and articles. ABC method has been difficult for many interprises to implement beacuse of high costs, subjective of allocations and costly, and difficulty of maintaining and updating the method. Time-driven ABC method, introduced an alternative approach for ABC (called conventional) by Kaplan and Anderson. It is simpler, less costly, and faster to implement, and allows cost driver to be based on pratical capacity
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
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
ASSESSING GOING-CONCERN ASSUMPTION: EVIDENCE FROM BORSA ISTANBUL (BIST) INDUSTRIAL INDEX
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı, işletmelerin sürekliliğinin değerlendirilmesinde Borsa İstanbul (BİST) Sınaî Endeksi için güvenilir bir model geliştirilmesidir. Bunun için BIST Sınaî İndeksinde işlem gören işletmelerin 2009-2014 yıllarına ilişkin finansal tablolarından ve faaliyet raporlarından elde edilen değişkenler kullanılmıştır. Seçilen değişkenler arasında çoklu bağlantı olup olmadığı korelasyon analiziyle tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada korelasyon analizi sonucuna göre lojistik regresyon yöntemi kullanılarak dört model oluşturulmuştur.Lojistik regresyon analizi sonucuna göre işletmenin sürekliliği ile bilanço tarihi ve denetçi raporunun tarihi arasında geçen süre, işletmenin aktif büyüklüğü, işletmenin cirosu (hasılatı), finansal açıdan başarısızlık riski, finansal kaldıraç oranı, çalışma sermayesinin toplam aktife oranı ve işletme faaliyetlerinden sağlanan nakit akışlarının toplam aktife oranı arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada oluşturulan dört modelin de başarı oranı %80 olarak belirlenmiştirThe purpose of this paper is to develop a reliable model for the Industrial Index of Borsa Istanbul (BIST) to evaluate of going-concern. Variables consisting of financial statements and activity reports between the years 2009-2014 of firms that are publicly exchanged in BIST Industrial Index were used in the research. Among the variables selected a correlation analysis was conducted to test whether multicollinearity existed or not. Based on the results of correlation analysis the paper formed four models by using logistic regression method.The results of logistic regression analysis put forward a statistically significant relationships among several variables namely; going-concern of the firm and the period between the balance sheet date and the date of audit report, firm's size of assets, revenue of the firm, the risk of failure with respect to financial factors, financial leverage ratio, ratio of working capital to total assets and ratio of cash from operating activities to total assets. Moreover, 80% success rate for four models that were formed in the paper was obtaine
