    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” 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

    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

    THE ANALYSIS OF TRANSFER PRICING RISKS IN SUBSIDIARY

    V diplomskem delu smo obravnavali tematiko transfernih cen v odvisnem podjetju X in tveganjih pri njihovem oblikovanju. S transfernimi cenami se v Sloveniji v zadnjem času sooča veliko podjetij, ki so jih prevzele multinacionalke. Vodila transfernih cen izhajajo iz smernic, ki jih je izdala Organizacija za ekonomsko sodelovanje in razvoj (v nadaljevanju OECD) v letu 1995 z naslovom Smernice o transfernih cenah za mednarodna podjetja in davčne uprave. V letu 2010 so bile prenovljene in dopolnjene (OECD, 2010), njihovo opredelitev iz tega leta smo opisali tudi v diplomskem delu. Države po svetu, med njimi tudi Slovenija, so te smernice prevzele v svoje nacionalne zakonodaje. V Sloveniji je področje transfernih cen opredeljeno v Zakonu o davku od dohodkov pravnih oseb iz leta 2006. Transferne cene nastanejo pri poslovanju s povezanimi osebami. V diplomskem delu smo se omejili na transferne cene med podjetjem, ki posluje v Sloveniji, in drugimi povezanimi podjetji iz tujine. Vsaka transakcija s tujim podjetjem je predmet obravnave dveh držav z različnimi davčnimi upravami in davčnimi stopnjami, zato tveganja iz naslova transfernih cen težko odpravimo. S pomočjo raznih analiz, najpomembnejša med njimi je funkcijska analiza podjetja, lahko prepoznamo transakcije, ki bi lahko zanimale davčne inšpektorje. Načine, kako lahko podjetja tveganja ublažijo, smo podrobno opisali v diplomskem delu. Za izbiro teme diplomskega dela smo se odločili, ker se v podjetju X sami srečujemo s problematiko transfernih cen. Za podjetje X predstavljajo transferne cene popolnoma novo področje, saj ga je v letu 2012 kapitalsko prevzel mednarodni koncern iz Avstrije. Empirični del diplomskega dela opisuje podjetje X in skupino povezanih podjetij. Naš cilj je bil opisati, kako podjetje X oblikuje transferne cene, odgovoriti na vprašanje, kako odvisnost od matične družbe vpliva na njene transferne cene, in ugotoviti, kakšna so tveganja, ki jim je podjetje X pri tem izpostavljeno. V zadnjem poglavju smo potrdili in ovrgli hipoteze, ki smo si jih zastavili na začetku diplomskega dela. V zaključku so zbrane ugotovitve in spoznanja iz diplomskega dela na tematiko tveganj oblikovanja transfernih cen v podjetju X.In der Diplomarbeit haben wir die Thematik der Verrechnungspreise in einen abhängigen Unternehmen X und die Risiken bei Ihrer Bildung behandelt. Mit Verrechnungspreisen befassen sich in Slowenien sehr viele Unternehmen, seit der Übernahme von Multinationalen Gesellschaften. Die Grundlage für Verrechnungspreise kommt aus den Richtlinien der Organisation für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung die in Jahr 1995 die Verrechnungspreisleitlinien für multinationale Unternehmen und Steuerverwaltungen herausgegeben hat. In Jahr 2010 wurden die erneuert und vervollständigt (OECD, 2010), der Inhalt aus diesem Jahr wurde in der Diplomarbeit verwändet. Viele Staaten, wie auch Slowenien haben diese Richtlinien in Ihrer nationalen Gesetzgebung übernommen. In Slowenien sind die Verrechnungspreise in den Gesetz der Körperschaftsteuer aus dem Jahr 2006 definiert. Die Verrechnungspreise entstehen bei dem Geschäftsverkehr zweier Verbundener Unternehmen. In der Diplomarbeit haben wir uns auf die Verrechnungspreise zwischen den Unternehmen in Slowenien und anderen verbunden Unternehmen aus dem Ausland beschränkt. Jede Transaktion mit einer Ausländischen Gesellschaft ist das Thema der Behandlung zweier verschiedenen Staaten mit unterschiedlichen Finanzamten und unterschiedlichen höhen der Körperschaftsteuer, deshalb sind die Risiken immer enthalten. Mit Hilfe der Verschiedenen Analysen, die wichtigste davon ist die Gesellschafts-Funktionsanalyse, können wir die Transaktionen erkennen, die Finanzinspektoren interessieren könnten. Die Art wie eine Gesellschaft die Risiken mildern kann, haben wir detailliert in der Diplomarbeit beschrieben. Die Thematik Verrechnungspreise haben wir bei der Diplomarbeit analysiert, weil wir uns selber in dem Unternehmen X mit dieser Problematik beschäftigen. Für das Unternehmen X sind die Verrechnungspreise ein ganz neues Gebiet, seit der Übernahme von der Österreichischen Konzerngesellschaft in Jahr 2012. In den Empirischen Teil der Diplomarbeit sind die Gesellschaft X und Ihre verbundenen Unternehmen beschrieben. Unser Ziel war es das Unternehmen X und seine Verrechnungspreise zu analysieren, Antworten auf die Frage, wie die Abhängigkeit von dem Konzern auf die Verrechnungspreise wirkt und festzustellen was für Risiken das Unternehmen dabei trägt. In dem letzten Kapitel wurden die Hypothesen die wir am Anfang gesetzt haben bestätigt und widerlegt. Am Ende wurden Feststellungen und Erkanntnisse der Diplomarbeit auf die Thematik Risiken der Verrechnungspreise in den Unternehmen X zusammengefast
