Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
THE ROLE OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN IMPROVING THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Full text linkThe purpose of this article is to understand: 1) The importance of supply chain management for companies; 2) What is the role of supply chain management in improving the operational efficiency of companies? This article uses qualitative research that uses literature review as its data collection method.
Research has shown that the importance of supply chain management for companies is to ensure that products and services are optimally distributed to customers and to ensure that products are delivered when customers want them, reducing costs and increasing the company's profits in the supply chain. Optimizing time, space, and the amount of resources. All this so that companies can compete in an increasingly global business. The role of supply chain management in improving the company's operational performance is as follows: 1) Helping to identify potential problems that may arise. 2) Optimizing costs; 3) Efficiency and reduction of operational costs; 4) Improving the supply chain process through spatial awareness
FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERPENGARUH TERHADAP STRUKTUR MODAL PERUSAHAAN OTOMOTIF YANG TELAH TERDAFTAR DI BURSA EFEK INDONESIA
Full text linkIndustri otomotif berkembang pesat dan merupakan salah dari sub-segmen perusahaan manufaktur dimana membutuhkan banyak pendanaan eksternal. Perusahaan disektor tersebut juga membutuhkan struktur modal untuk mendukung kelangsungan operasi perusahaan ke depan, dan kebutuhan modal cukup penting guna membangun dan juga memastikan kelangsungan suatu perusahaan terlepas dari faktor pelengkap lainnya. Setiap perusahaan membutuhkan modal. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode literature review. Pencarian literature menggunakan aplikasi Publish or Perish dengan option Google Scholar dengan kata kunci “faktor yang mempengaruhi struktur modal”; “struktur modal perusahaan otomotif yang terdaftar di BEI”; “faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap struktur modal perusahaan otomotif yang terdaftar di BEI”. Literature yang berhasil didapatkan oleh peneliti dan sesuai dengan topik penelitian sebanyak 15 literature. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada faktor yang bisa mempengaruhi dari struktur modal, dimana terdapat4 faktor diambil oleh peneliti berdasarkan penelitian terdahulu yakni profitabilitas, likuiditas, struktur aktiva dan firm size. Untuk faktor pertama yakni profitabilitas mempunyai pengaruh cukup positif dalam struktur modal tetapi memang tidak signifikan. Begitupula dengan faktor likuiditas, dimana mempunyai pengaruh cukup positif tetapi tidak signifikan. Faktor ketiga yakni struktur aktiva tidak mempunyai pengaruh yang besar dalam struktur modal karena ada beberapa sebab yakni aset tetap yang dipunyai perusahaan mobil adalah beberapa mesin khusus dan hanya dapat digunakan pada industri otomotif, dan bukan merupakan aset seperti tanah atau bangunan. Dan faktor terakhir yakni firm size ukuran perusahaan yang berpengaruh positif juga signifikan dalam struktur modal perusahaan otomotif yang terdaftar di BEI. Kata Kunci: Industri Otomotif, Profitabilitas, Likuiditas, Struktur Aktiva, Firm Size
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
