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
100 days of Act on contractual advantage
Get PDFW artykule omówiono pierwsze sto dni obowiązywania ustawy z dnia 15 grudnia 2016 r. o przeciwdziałaniu nieuczciwemu wykorzystywaniu przewagi kontraktowej w obrocie produktami rolnymi i spożywczymi. Autor przedstawił prowadzone przez Prezesa Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów postępowania związane z wykorzystywaniem przewagi kontraktowej, a także zastosowanie innych instrumentów znajdujących się w kompetencji organu. Następnie rozwinął zagadnienie współdziałania Prezesa UOKiK z innymi podmiotami w zakresie zarówno spraw rozpoznawanych przez organ, jak i możliwego procesu legislacyjnego. Kolejną kwestią analizowaną przez autora było propagowanie przepisów ustawy o przewadze kontraktowej i aktualne problemy związane z jej stosowaniem. Autor wskazał, że aktualnie priorytetowe jest właściwe określenie pojęcia interesu publicznego na potrzeby przedmiotowej ustawy oraz otwarte podejście do definicji praktyk naruszających tę ustawę z należytym uwzględnieniem analiz ekonomicznych. W wyniku tej analizy autor doszedł do wniosku, że pomimo bardzo krótkiego okresu obowiązywania ustawy o przewadze kontraktowej doszło do szeregu działań związanych z realizacją jej przepisów, ale wciąż większość pojawiających się w niej pojęć wymaga rozwinięcia poprzez działalność orzeczniczą organu i sądów, a także twórczą doktryny prawa.The article discusses 100 days of the Act of 15th December 2016 on the unfair use of contractual advantage in the trade in agricultural and food products. The author describes the cases that the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (referred as the President of the UOKIK) is currently dealing with along with other instruments used as a tool in combating unfair practices. Next issue tackled is the cooperation of the President of the UOKiK with other relevant bodies in the context of handled cases and possible legislation process. Afterwards the author analyses the popularization of the Act among the public and the obstacles met with its application. The author stresses that at this moment crucial seems to be finding an accurate meaning of the term public interest used in the context of the Act and the flexible approach to the scope of practices described as unfair (keeping in mind the economic analyses). As a result, the author states that despite the very limited time of the Act in force there have been numerous actions taken. Still there are ambiguous terms of the Act that should be elaborated by the court’s ruling and the doctrine
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
Organizacyjno-technologiczne aspekty zarządzania wiedzą w nowoczesnych organizacjach czasu transformacji cyfrowej
No full textEfektywne zarządzanie wiedzą można rozpatrywać w różnych obszarach: struktur organizacyjnych, zatrudnionego personelu, kultury organizacyjnej i narzędzi informatycznych. Systemy ICT (Information and Communication Technology) stanowią podstawę nowoczesnych organizacji gospodarczych czasów transformacji cyfrowej. Dotyczy to w szczególności zaawansowanej infrastruktury teleinformatycznej, która jest warunkiem sine qua non sprawnego zarządzania wiedzą. Celem artykułu jest omówienie aspektów organizacyjno-technologicznych w zakresie nowoczesnego zarządzania wiedzą z wykorzystaniem technologii ICT określanych mianem SMAC (Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud), a stanowiących aktualnie kanon informatycznego wspomagania w tym zakresie. Rozważania zostały zilustrowane wynikami autorskich badań z okresu 2014-2016 na gruncie wybranych przedsiębiorstw sektora MSP województw mazowieckiego i wielkopolskiego.Solutions of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are the foundation of modern economic organizations in a knowledge economy. This is the case in particular in intelligent organizations, for which the advanced ICT infrastructure is the sine qua non condition for the effective knowledge management. This article is aimed at describing the role of modern ICT trends, which are described as SMAC (Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud), and are becoming an essential ICT element supporting management processes. Such solutions enable to create new models of organization operations on the global markets using strategic resources, such as the knowledge supported with SMAC solutions. The arguments are illustrated with results of own research conducted by the author in 2014-2016 in selected SME’s from the Mazowieckie and Wielkopolskie Provinces and their reference to the general development trends in this area
