Whitepaper Visualization and ICO Success
Full text linkResearch problem/question: Is the visualization of ICO whitepaper associated with ICO success?
Objective: The purpose of the paper is to find out how the visualization of the whitepaper affects the ICO and what key information is more important to be presented visually. The definition of visualization in this study is Pictures, Tables, Charts, Font Size and Color, etc.
Hypothesis Development: The first hypothesis is the visualization of the whitepaper does not affect the amount of capital raised. The second hypothesis is the effect in H1 is not affected by the use of media advertising.
Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a multiple regression model to test the hypothesis and thus observe which independent visual variables in the whitepaper impact the ICO funds raised.
Findings: First, when the number of media resources is 0 or 1, the ICO success is positively correlated with Pictures, Tables, changing the font color, the upper limit of the Amount Raised, and negatively associated with Font Size. Second, when the number of media resources exceeds 1, the ICO success is not related to the visualization degree of the whitepaper, but it is still positively associated with the setting of the upper limit of Amount Raised. Third, the current popular whitepaper style is to visualize essential information.
Sample: This study extracts 165 whitepapers from ICObench available for download during 2019-2020. There are 141 whitepapers in 2019 and 24 in 2020.
Contribution: The paper results provide insight on whether the visualization of whitepapers matter for investors, and if yes, what are these visualization characteristics. The findings of the paper may help the content of the ICO whitepaper to be more standardized, professional, and visualized. It may also help improve comparability and competitiveness among different ICO projects, thus promoting issuers' disclosure quality of internal information, facilitating investors' decision-making, and reducing market risk
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
The Harmonization of Chinese Accounting Standards with International Accounting Standards: An Empirical Evaluation
Full text linkUsing China as the case of a developing country, this study empirically evaluates whether the efforts made by China since the early 1990s to harmonize their domestic standards with IAS have been successful. Four research questions are addressed and eight hypotheses are developed to investigate the current level of harmonization and whether the extent of harmonization improves with the issuance of the most recent Chinese GAAP. Chinese 1992 GAAP, 1998 GAAP, and 2001 GAAP are reviewed and compared with IAS to evaluate de jure harmonization of Chinese GAAP with IAS (that is, harmonization in standards). Firms that issue both A and B-shares in China are used to evaluate de facto harmonization of Chinese GAAP with IAS (that is, harmonization of practices). The final sample includes the 1999 and 2002 annual reports of 79 Chinese listed firms that issue both A and B-shares. A checklist instrument containing 77 measurement items was developed from IAS1-40. Different measures are used to evaluate harmonization, including rank of closeness, compliance index, consistency index, and conservatism index.Overall, the findings of this study indicate that the accounting reform in China has been effective in harmonizing Chinese GAAP with IAS. Nevertheless, noticeable variances between Chinese GAAP and IAS still exist in key financial measures. The study provides strong evidence showing that the harmonization of accounting regulations is highly relevant to the harmonization of accounting practices, as improved compliance of Chinese listed firms with IAS, improved comparability of firms \u27 accounting choices in their annual reports prepared under Chinese GAAP and IAS, and reduced earning gap between Chinese GAAP-based and IAS-based net incomes are detected with the issuance of the most recent Chinese GAAP in 2001
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
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
