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
The Determinants of FDI Inflows in the Indonesian Manufacturing Sector: Some Evidence from Spatial Dependency Measurements
Full text linkThe determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow in the manufacturing sector of Indonesian provinces are the focus of this study. This study demonstrates that spatial dependency in Indonesian FDI location decisions is primarily influenced by cultural heterogeneity and geographic distances, as determined by the Spatial Durbin Model. This finding suggests that the inflow of FDI into a host province is influenced by FDI inflow and other factors in neighboring provinces that are geographically adjacent to the host province and have a similar level of cultural heterogeneity. The primary determinants of these factors are the infrastructure in neighboring provinces and the human capital and innovation capability of the host province
Foreign direct investment in Indonesia
Full text linkThis study addresses the needs of Indonesian policymakers, to not only
investigate the determinant factors of FDI inflow in manufacturing sector across
Indonesian provinces, but to also investigate the impact of FDI spillover on firm’s
total factor productivity growth (TFPG) through product and labour markets and the
role of provincial human capital on FDI-TFPG nexus. This study addresses the
questions; 1) what is the impact of FDI spillover on the TFPG of Indonesian
manufacturing firms in product and labour markets across sectors and within a
province by considering different kinds of job characteristics?; 2) what is the impact
of provincial human capital on provincial FDI – TFPG nexus in the Indonesian
manufacturing sector?; and 3) what are the factors that influence FDI location
decision in the Indonesian manufacturing sector by considering the cultural distance
and provincial dependency between Indonesian provinces?. The main aim of the
formulation strategy to attract more FDI should be in line with the measurement of
FDI spillover effect on TFPG, not only through the product market but also through
the labour market, by considering the role of provincial human capital.
The first contribution of this thesis to FDI literature is measuring FDI spillover
impact on TFPG through a labour market of the manufacturing sector by considering
different job characteristics across industries and provinces. Using a dynamic panel
regression model, two-step system GMM, the result shows that wage spillover from
foreign firms influences the TFPG of Indonesian manufacturing firms. Such
influence is affected by different job characteristics, production, and non-production
jobs, and by geographic boundaries. Wage spillover in production jobs across
industries positively affects the TFPG; wage spillover in non-production jobs within
a province negatively contributes to the TFPG. This result has a policy implication
whereby the Government should maintain and develop the competitive environment
in which business and economic activities are mainly determined by the market
mechanism. The Government also needs to provide an incentive for younger
generations to pursue production-related jobs, such as engineering, and to undertake
vocational high school degrees, as the finding of this study shows that competition in
the labour market of production-related jobs (between local and foreign firms)
positively affects the average TFPG of Indonesian manufacturing firms. The second contribution is in the measurement of provincial human capital
threshold in a specific sector to generate a positive impact of FDI inflow on
provincial TFPG. Using a dynamic threshold regression model, with maximum
likelihood approach, the result shows that the threshold level of human capital exists
indicating the role of provincial human capital on FDI - TFPG nexus in Indonesian
manufacturing sector. The second regime, or the provinces that have human capital
above the threshold level benefits, from the presence of FDI. This result has policy
implications by which the Government should extend the completion years of
compulsory education to a period of 12 years, supported by a free education policy
during that period as the increased number in the labour force (with at least senior or
vocational high school qualifications) generates a positive effect of FDI inflow on
provincial TFPG of Indonesian manufacturing sector.
The third contribution of this thesis to FDI literature is investigating the
determinant factors of FDI inflow across Indonesian provinces, by considering
cultural heterogeneity and different languages across these provinces. Using dynamic
and non-dynamic spatial econometrics models consisting of spatial durbin model
(SDM), spatial autoregressive (SAR) model, spatial error model (SEM), and spatial
autocorrelation (SAC), the result shows that language distance after weighted by
geographical distance, and cultural heterogeneity distance between Indonesian
provinces are the most determinant factors in creating provincial dependency to
decide FDI location across Indonesian provinces. This also shows that FDI location
decision across Indonesian provinces is influenced by five key factors: 1) FDI inflow
in a previous year in a certain province; 2) FDI inflow in neighbouring provinces that
has relatively the same proportion of people using Indonesian language after
considering the geographical distance; 3) Innovation capability in a certain province;
4) the provincial government expenditure for development including for
infrastructure development, and 5) other factors not included in the model. The
policy implications of this study are that the Government should continue to promote
the transmigration program and to develop economic sectors and administrative
systems equitably between the Indonesian provinces as a provincial dependency, in
deciding FDI location, is also determined by economic and administrative distances
between Indonesian provinces
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
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
