Trade Liberalisation, Productivity, and Protection: The Case of an Open Developing Economy - Dataset
No full text<b>Funding Source</b><br/>Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP)This study uses the National Census of Manufacturing Establishments (NCME) of Nepal which is conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). The CBS is the main government organisation in Nepal responsible for the collection, management, and dissemination of statistical information. These censuses are conducted quinquennially. This study utilises data from the census year 1981/82 to 2018/19 which gives eight time points for the panel dataset. Censuses 1981/82 and 1986/87 cover manufacturing establishments using automachines irrespective of the number of persons engaged, whereas censuses from 1991/92 to 2018/19 cover establishments engaging 10 or more persons. Each census contains an average of 4000 establishments. Following international practices, these establishments are categorised into 66 different industries according to the four-digit Nepal Standard Industrial Classification (NSIC). Therefore, each industry comprises of a group of establishments. As each census provides a combined value for different variables for establishments that belong to the same industry, analysis is conducted at the industry level since establishments are not uniquely identified in the census data. Industries with just one or two establishments in any census are omitted from the dataset as they do not reveal their data because of confidentiality issue. The censuses cover only industries that are government-registered and operate within the geographic boundary of Nepal. Given different industrial classification revisions that have occurred during the study period, conversion charts are used to confirm that industries are correctly categorised according to the latest NSIC for each census year. Some industries with one or two observations during the study period are merged with their closest allies based on the nature of their activities in the census year. This makes sure that they belong to the same 3-digit NSIC classification. This study also utilises the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) – Trade Analysis Information System (TRAINS) database to extract tariff data via the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) portal. Extracted tariffs for each of the 4-digit 66 industries are effectively applied tariffs (AHS). WITS defines these tariffs as the lowest available import tariffs. The most favoured nations (MFN) tariffs are also used as an alternative measure. The tariff rates for each industry are matched to their respective census years.This research has been conducted with the support of the Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship
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
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
