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
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
Nilai dan Kepuasan Pelanggan sebagai Mediasi Pengaruh Atribut Produk dan Citra terhadap Loyalitas Pelanggan Hypermarket di Kota Malang
No full textTujuan penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh atribut produk dan citra terhadap loyalitas pelanggan dengan dimediasi oleh nilai dan kepuasan pelanggan. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada pelanggan hypermarket yang ada Kota Malang, yaitu, Carrefour, Giant dan Matahari hypermat dengan menggunakan ukuran sampel sebanyak 120 responden. Pengambilan sampel dengan teknik Convenience sampling . Data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM) dengan pendekatan variance based atau component based dengan Partial Least Square (PLS).
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa atribut produk secara langsung berpengaruh signifikan terhadap loyalitas pelanggan hypermarket di Kota Malang, sedangkan citra secara langsung tidak mempengaruhi loyalitas pelanggan, hal ini mengindikasikan pencitraan hypermarket tentang harga yang ditawarkan sesuai dengan kualitas barang maupun atribut-atribut yang melekat pada barang tersebut sama dengan kondisi yang ada pada supermarket, hal inilah yang menjadikan pelanggan tidak memiliki tingkat loyalitas atas pencitraan yang dilakukan. Nilai pelanggan dan kepuasan pelanggan berperan sebagai mediasi bersifat penuh ( complete mediation ) dari efek tidak langsung pengaruh antara citra terhadap loyalitas pelanggan, akan tetapi nilai pelanggan dan kepuasan pelanggan berperan sebagai mediasi parsial ( partial mediation ) dari efek tidak langsung pengaruh antara atribut produk terhadap loyalitas pelanggan
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
Market Orientation, Competitive Advantage and Marketing Performance of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
No full textThis study aims to analyze competitive advantage as a variable that mediates the effect of market orientation on marketing performance. This research population is 113,000 SMEs (Small And Medium Enterprises) located in Malang City, which are engaged in food processing, handicrafts, and clothing business units with an observation sample of 100 SMEs. The data analysis technique used in this study is Structural Equation Modeling. The results of this study indicate that SMEs\u27 performance will increase if they can carry out processes and activities related to creating and satisfying customer needs. Besides, market-oriented SMEs contribute to competitive advantage by creating product uniqueness, product quality, and competitive prices, ultimately affecting the performance of SMEs. In order to improve SMEs\u27 performance, efforts must be made to develop marketing strategies, such as paying attention to market orientation, focusing on customer orientation, competitor orientation, and inter-functional coordination, and developing or innovating new products
