    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    A Comparative Analysis of Factors Affecting Profitability in Farming: Review of Performance and Estimate of Elasticities in Production from Farm Management Data in the Mekong Delta, the Chao Phraya Basin, and Shiga Prefecture (<Commemorative Issue>Commemorative Volume for Professor Takesi Mootooka's Retirement)

In this article individual farm management data is used and a short-term managerial relationship between efficiency factors and capacity factors is assumed. By defining the production relationship in terms of four inputs, land, labor, capital, and dummy variables concerning the use of fertilizer or machinery, the coefficients for these factors in the models were estimated. The data employed were obtained in surveys conducted in Phong-dinh Province in the Mekong Delta and Ayutthaya in the Chao Phraya basin in 1973, and from official statistics of rice production costs in Shiga Prefecture for the same period. The main features of the cost structure and profitability of rice production for high-yielding varieties and local varieties are indicated in Table 2. Gross value and net revenue per hectare were divided into labor efficiency and labor-forces per hectare, the results of which are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Regression equations were fitted to the farm management data, and the coefficients derived for land differed significantly from zero in the models (Tables 3-5). The coefficients for capital in the regression equations for production costs were also significant. The major findings from these models are that output and production costs are each highly correlated to the size of operated land and that there exist significant differences in the elasticities estimated for the three regions

    Farm Management Study and Agricultural/Rural Development : A Trial in Bangladesh

    No full text
    This study report is based on the farm economy survey which was conducted in two villages of Comilla in Bangladesh. One village attains a higher developmental stage and the other one remains at the under-developmental stage. Through this comparative study, several evidences on resource productivities and income at farm household level are shown. At the same time, some constraints on resource ownership and their use, possibilities for increases in land productivities and income are explored. It is believed that farmers have a potential for higher levels of productivities and income to some extent. However, as a prerequisite for further development it is essential to have a comprehensive plan which would push population control and area development. The latter is intended for industrial development and employment promotion under the closed linkage of rural and urban areas
