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
The impact of corporate governance on audit fees and audit report lag: study of audit committees in listed firms of the Athens Stock Exchange
No full textThis research examines the relationship between the characteristics of the AC with the audit fees and the audit report lag throughout the first four years of the implementation of the Greek Law 4449/2017 which increased the competences of the AC and gave it a regulatory role in the external auditor's fees and work. The study of the literature, initially includes a complete study of the competences and characteristics of the AC and then a review regarding the role of the AC and the relationship of its characteristics with audit fees and audit report lag, showed the global development and the research gap in Greece. This study selects the characteristics of the AC referring to the size, the independence of its members, the diligence, their financial knowledge, their previous experience in AC as well as the participation of women. In addition, the additional variables examined and reported in the audited firm's financial data include features of the board of directors and also of the auditing firm. The present research using a unique set of data hand-collected from the annual reports for 100 firms listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, a total of 400 observations, shows that the size of the AC, the independence of its members, the diligence and the financial knowledge of its members are positively associated with audit fees. Regarding the audit report lag, the research shows that AC diligence is associated with a shorter audit report lag. Therefore, this study offers useful feedback to the policy makers, practitioners and legislators who define and shape the CG legislation according to European Directives. Finally, the research offers several implications for auditors, boards and CG scholars who ensure the improvement of the firms' financial reports.Η παρούσα έρευνα εξετάζει τη σχέση μεταξύ των χαρακτηριστικών της Ε.Ε. με τις ελεγκτικές αμοιβές και την καθυστέρηση ελέγχου κατά τα τέσσερα πρώτα χρόνια εφαρμογής του ελληνικού Ν. 4449/2017 που αύξησε τις αρμοδιότητες της Ε.Ε. και της έδωσε ρόλο ρυθμιστή στο έργο και τις αμοιβές του εξωτερικού ελεγκτή. Η μελέτη της βιβλιογραφίας, αρχικά, περιλαμβάνει μια πλήρη μελέτη των αρμοδιοτήτων και των χαρακτηριστικών της Ε.Ε. και στη συνέχεια μια ανασκόπηση αναφορικά με τον ρόλο της Ε.Ε. και της σχέσης των χαρακτηριστικών της με τις ελεγκτικές αμοιβές και την καθυστέρηση ελέγχου, δείχνοντας την παγκόσμια εξέλιξη, αλλά και το ερευνητικό κενό στην Ελλάδα. Η μελέτη αυτή, επιλέγει τα χαρακτηριστικά της Ε.Ε. που αναφέρονται στο μέγεθος, την ανεξαρτησία των μελών, τη συχνότητα των συνεδριάσεων, τη χρηματοοικονομική γνώση τους, την προηγούμενη εμπειρία τους σε Ε.Ε., καθώς και το ποσοστό συμμετοχής των γυναικών στην επιτροπή. Επιπλέον, στις πρόσθετες μεταβλητές που εξετάζονται και αναφέρονται στα οικονομικά στοιχεία της ελεγχόμενης εταιρείας, περιλαμβάνονται χαρακτηριστικά του Δ.Σ. αλλά και της ελεγκτικής εταιρείας. Η παρούσα έρευνα χρησιμοποιώντας δείγμα 100 εισηγμένων εταιρειών στο Χρηματιστήριο Αξιών Αθηνών, συνολικά 400 παρατηρήσεις, δείχνει ότι το μέγεθος της Ε.Ε., η ανεξαρτησία των μελών της, η επιμέλεια της Ε.Ε. και η χρηματοοικονομική γνώση των μελών της σχετίζονται θετικά με τις ελεγκτικές αμοιβές. Αναφορικά, με την καθυστέρηση ελέγχου, η έρευνα δείχνει ότι η συχνότητα των συνεδριάσεων της Ε.Ε. συσχετίζεται αρνητικά με αυτή. Συνεπώς, η μελέτη αυτή προσφέρει μια χρήσιμη ανατροφοδότηση στους υπεύθυνους χάραξης πολιτικής και τους νομοθέτες που καθορίζουν και διαμορφώνουν τη νομοθεσία της Ε.Δ. ανάλογα με Ευρωπαϊκές Οδηγίες. Τέλος, η μελέτη παρέχει πολλές επιδράσεις στους ελεγκτές, τα συμβούλια και τους μελετητές της Ε.Δ., που μεριμνούν για τη βελτίωση των οικονομικών εκθέσεων των εταιρειών
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

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.
