LE CADRE JURIDIQUE DU CROWDFUNDING : CAS DU MAROC
Le crowdfunding (financement collaboratif) permet aux entrepreneurs voulant lancer des startups, des entreprises ou des associations de trouver des financements auprès du public à travers des plateformes digitales via internet. Au Maroc, le crowdfunding est dans une phase embryonnaire mais peut s’adapter aux enjeux de développement humain, social et économique. L’adoption récente de la Loi n°15-18 relative au financement collaboratif pourrait permettre de voir l’écosystème du crowdfunding se développer. Ce travail de recherche a pour objectif de comparer le cadre juridique du crowdfunding au Maroc avec les exigences réglementaires appliquées dans d’autres pays. La première partie de ce travail portera sur le concept de crowdfunding, ses modalités, ses acteurs, l’état des lieux du crowdfunding au Maroc et son développement dans le monde. La deuxième partie s’intéressera à l’importance de l’existence d’un cadre juridique pour le développement des opérations de financement collaboratif et mettra en exergue le cadre juridique du crowdfunding au Maroc. La méthodologie suivie pour l’élaboration de cet article est basée sur l’analyse des données de type secondaire à partir de textes de la loi marocaine, d’articles et de rapports traitant le crowdfunding au Maroc et dans le reste du monde.Abstract: Crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs wanting to launch startups, companies, associations to raise funds from the public through digital platforms via the internet. In Morocco, crowdfunding is at an embryonic stage, but can be adapted to the challenges of human, social and economic development. The recent adoption of law n°15-18 on crowdfuding could help the crowdfunding ecosystem to develop. This research work aims to compare the legal framework of crowdfunding in Morocco with the regulatory requirements applied in other countries. The remainder of this article is organized as follows: the first part of this work will focus on the concept of crowdfunding, its modalities, its actors, the state of crowdfunding in Morocco and its development in the world. The second part will focus on the importance of a legal framework for the development of different types of crowdfunding operations and will highlight the legal framework in Morocco. The methodology used for this research work is based on the analysis of secondary type data from Moroccan law texts, articles and reports dealing with crowdfunding in Morocco and in the rest of world
The Potential of Green Crowdfunding for Financing Eco-entrepreneurship in Morocco: A Narrative Literature Review
Faced with environmental challenges and the need to support a transition to a green economy, Morocco is exploring innovative solutions to finance green entrepreneurship projects. Among these solutions, green crowdfunding is emerging as a promising one, allowing citizens to involve themselves in ecological initiatives and fund green projects and activities.
This article examines green entrepreneurship and the challenges it faces, highlighting the issue of financing, in Morocco and around the world. It also explores the potential and advantages of green crowdfunding for financing green activities. To do so, this study adopts a narrative literature review approach, particularly suited to interdisciplinary and emerging topics such as green crowdfunding. This approach allowed integrating existing knowledge on eco-entrepreneurship and green crowdfunding by referring to scientific articles and institutional reports, particularly within the Moroccan context.
Therefore, first, we discuss the concepts of "eco-entrepreneurship" and "green crowdfunding" as well as the emerging links between them. Second, we identify the potential of green crowdfunding for financing eco-entrepreneurship in Morocco and suggest that, although green crowdfunding can play a crucial role in the development of the country's eco-entrepreneurship, additional efforts are needed to raise public awareness, develop a suitable regulatory framework, and encourage partnerships between the public and private sectors.

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
We 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
