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
BUSINESS OF NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ON THE EXAMPLE OF UNESCO BUSINESS
No full textNeprofitne organizacije imaju ključnu ulogu u današnjem društvu. Svojom misijom koja je
zasnovana na poboljšanju kvalitete življenja i rješavanja spornih problema društva, suočavaju
se s mnogim izazovima današnjice te ostvaruju postavljene ciljeve putem različitih akcija i
kampanja. Neprofitne organizacije su zapravo organizacije koje svojim djelovanjem nemaju za
cilj ostvarivanje profita. Važan korak koji svaka neprofitna organizacija treba odraditi je
postaviti ciljeve na temelju kojih će moći vidjeti kolika im je uspješnost poslovanja. Neprofitne
organizacije su ograničene novčanim sredstvima. Neprofitnim organizacijama uglavnom
upravljaju profesionalci koje motivira stvaranje mira i činjenje dobra. U ovom radu je dan
primjer UNESCO-a kao jedne od neprofitnih organizacija. Misija ove organizacije je očuvanje
mira i sigurnosti kroz promicanje međunarodne suradnje u obrazovanju, znanosti i kulturi.Non - profit organizations play a key role in today’s society. With their mission, which is
based on improving the quality of life and solving controversial problems of society, they face
many challenges of today and achieve goal setting through various actions and campaigns.
Non-profit organizations are in fact organizations whose activities are not aimed at making a
profit. An important step that every non-profit organization needs to take is to set goals based
on which they will be able to see how successful their business is. Non-profit organizations
are limited in cash. Non-profits are mostly run by professionals who are motivated to create
peace and do good. This paper gives an example of UNESCO as one of the non-profit
organizations. The mission of this organization is to preserve peace and security through the
promotion of international cooperation in education, science and culture
CONTROLLING BUSINESS RISKS FOR THE EXAMPLE OF ALLIANZ CROATIA D.D.
No full textKontroling kao upravljački koncept ima zadatak na temelju mnoštva informacija koje se nalaze u poduzeću ili izvan njega odabrati i korelirati one koje su važne za upravljanje poduzećem. Na taj način, kontroling služi za poboljšanje poslovanja, optimiziranje poslovnih procesa, kapaciteta i resursa te racionalizaciju troškova. Osim analize i kontrole financija, resursa i ljudskih potencijala, vrlo je važna i sposobnost kontrolora za predviđanje i suzbijanje potencijalnih rizika koji se javljaju u poslovanju, budući da je kontroling usmjeren na događanja u budućnosti. Rizici mogu proizaći iz vanjskog i unutarnjeg okruženja poduzeća, stoga se najčešće dijele na strateške, financijske i operativne rizike. Budući da pripadaju u nebankovne financijske institucije, u skupinu osiguravajuća društva, za poduzeće Allianz Hrvatska d.d. najveći naglasak je stavljen na potencijalne financijske rizike u poslovanju. Također, opisan je i način na koji ovo poduzeće vrši prognozu potencijalnih rizika i koje mjere poduzima kako bi se isti spriječili.Controlling as a management concept has the task of selecting and correlating those that are important for the management of the company based on the multitude of information found in the company or outside it. In this way, controlling serves to improve operations, optimize business processes, capacities, and resources, and rationalize costs. In addition to the analysis and control of finances, resources and human resources, the controller's ability to predict and suppress potential risks that occur in business is also very important, since controlling is focused on events in the future. Risks can arise from the external and internal environment of the company; therefore, they are most often divided into strategic, financial, and operational risks. Since they belong to non-bank financial institutions, to the group of insurance companies, for the company Allianz Hrvatska the greatest emphasis is placed on potential financial risks in business. It also describes how this company forecasts potential risks and what measures it takes to prevent them
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
