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
Gestion des finances publiques à l’ère du numérique
No full textThis article analyzes the relationship between the digital revolution and public finance management in the context of the dynamic transformations initiated by Morocco over more than a decade ago. The aim of this research is to assess the impact of digitalization on the efficiency of public finance management in Morocco, highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with this digital transformation. The methodology adopted combines a literature review of digital reforms to obtain a comprehensive view of the changes induced by digitization. The results show that digitization has improved the transparency, efficiency and traceability of public financial operations. Integrated information systems have facilitated resource management, budget planning and expenditure control. However, challenges remain, notably in terms of data security, staff training and resistance to change. The main limitation of this study lies in the limited access to specific, up-to-date data concerning certain reforms, making impact assessment partially subjective. The results of this research provide valuable insights for policy-makers and public managers, highlighting the importance of continuous training, regular updating of digital systems and proactive change management in maximizing the benefits of digitization. This study makes an original contribution by putting into perspective the specificities of the Moroccan context in public finance management in the digital age.

Cet article analyse la relation entre la révolution numérique et la gestion des finances publiques dans le contexte des changements dynamiques entrepris par le Maroc depuis plus de dix ans. L'objectif de cette recherche est d'évaluer l'impact de la digitalisation sur l'efficacité de la gestion des finances publiques au Maroc, en mettant en évidence les avantages et les défis liés à cette transformation numérique. La méthodologie adoptée combine une analyse documentaire des réformes numériques pour obtenir une vision complète des changements induits par la digitalisation. Les résultats montrent que la digitalisation a amélioré la transparence, l'efficacité et la traçabilité des opérations financières publiques. Les systèmes d'information intégrés ont facilité la gestion des ressources, la planification budgétaire et le contrôle des dépenses. Cependant, des défis persistent, notamment en termes de sécurité des données, de formation du personnel et de résistance au changement. La principale limitation de cette étude réside dans l'accès limité aux données spécifiques et actualisées concernant certaines réformes, rendant l'évaluation de l'impact partiellement subjective. Les résultats de cette recherche fournissent des indications précieuses pour les décideurs politiques et les gestionnaires publics, soulignant l'importance de la formation continue, de la mise à jour régulière des systèmes numériques et de la gestion proactive du changement pour maximiser les bénéfices de la digitalisation. Cette étude contribue de manière originale en mettant en perspective les spécificités du contexte marocain dans la gestion des finances publiques à l'ère numérique.

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
