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
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
Caracterización de los estados financieros de sociedades anónimas del IPSA al 31 de diciembre de 2003, basada en los dictámenes de auditoría
Get PDFA raíz de lo ocurrido en Estados Unidos respecto a una serie de fraudes contables en connotadas compañías que cotizaban en bolsa ha significado una revitalización de la función contable y de auditoría en el sentido de ver ambas disciplinas como más necesarias por su aporte a la gestión de los negocios en cuanto a la presentación de información fiable y pública por sobre el cumplimiento legal o normativo que estas involucran. En este contexto, el autor ha efectuado un estudio de caracterización de la contabilidad chilena de las sociedades anónimas inscritas en los registros de las Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros (SVS), las cuales tiene obligatoriedad de hacer públicos sus estados financieros (al menos de forma resumida) en diarios de circulación nacional y de tener copias disponible en sus oficinas matrices, además que el fiscalizador citado tiene la facultad de proveer dichos informes a quien los solicite.Pero esta facilidad de lectura y revisión de estados financieros de las grandes empresas chilenas no serviría del todo, si no existiera un sistema nacional de examinación independiente, el cual de acuerdo a la legislación y normas vigentes es proveído por los auditores externos, quienes emiten sus juicios en un informe donde dictaminan el nivel de razonabilidad de los estados financieros en su conjunto, en todos los aspectos significativos, al 31 de diciembre de cada año.Este estudio consistió en la revisión y análisis de los informes de auditoría de las empresas que conformaron el índice de Precios Selectivo de Acciones (IPSA) al 31 de diciembre de 2003, de tal forma de poder concluir el estado de razonabilidad de los estados financieros e inferir los resultados sobre el universo de empresas que cotizan en bolsa de valores

Análisis de la diversidad en la información empresarial divulgada por Internet. Evidencia empírica en empresas europeas y latinoamericanas
Get PDFLa divulgación de información financiera a diversos grupos de interés es una materiapermanente de investigaciones, por los tipos, oportunidades y volúmenes de informaciones divulgadas.Con el avance de la tecnología y la enorme masificación de Internet, el uso de esa plataformase ha vuelto un elemento clave para el mercado financiero y otros usuarios de información financiera(y no financiera), y también ha sido objeto de investigaciones. El propósito de este estudio esidentificar las variables que se relacionen con el nivel de divulgación realizada a través de Internet.La información evaluada tiene carácter financiero-contable y otras no necesariamente financieras,pero que sí tiene valor para los mercados. La muestra se basa en empresas latinas y europeas, quede forma comparada otorgan una nueva mirada sobre el tema propuesto. Entre los resultados seconfirman los resultados de otros estudios, pero se muestran sendas diferencias entre las empresaseuropeas y latinas respecto a las variables influyentes en la divulgación de información en Internet.Las conclusiones llevan a pensar en que aún falta una mayor cultura de la divulgación en empresaslatinas, lo que debiera ser acompañado de una mayor regulación al respecto
