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
Perceptional variance among university students towards learning in virtual mode in the contemporary scenario: An empirical study
Full text linkThe education sector in India has changed a lot largely because of the innovation and development in technology in recent years, where virtual learning is one of the major important parts of it. The concept of virtual learning is not new but recently it has emerged as a major tool for learning among different college and university based students, especially in the contemporary scenario. Therefore, the objective of the study is to find out the perceptional variance towards digital learning between different genders of university students in the current scenario. To fulfill the objectives of the study, the researcher conducted a primary based study mainly based in Kolkata, West Bengal to understand the perception of learning in virtual mode among university students, who are the matured learners. Non Parametric test, namely Mann Whitney test has been used in the current study to ascertain the result based on its primary survey. The findings of the study were mixed in nature giving statically significant and insignificant outcomes in the perception of learning towards virtual mode and based on the results and findings of the study, it can be concluded that there are more negative effect in virtual mode of learning then its positive side as perceived by the students and they mainly want offline mode of learning which does not significantly differ between different genders of the university students
An Empirical Analysis on Investor\u27s Perception under the Prevailing Pandemic based on Select NSE Indices
Full text linkAbstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has made the
whole world standstill and urged
individuals to think and look every
perspective in a different way. The corona
virus pandemicaffected the economy from
losing jobs to falling in market
capitalization along with losing human life
and several other factors associated with
it. The pandemic situation have forced the
world stock market to crush and the speed
with which the market nosedived, it
shocked the entire world. In a situation
like this where every aspect of the society
is getting affected due to the pandemic, the
researcher should look upon on the
societal aspect for the benefit of the society
as well especially in this pandemic
situation. Due to the pandemic, there is a
liquidity crisis in the market and also
instability in the financial market and such
financial market disruptions will have a
negative impact on the investors’
perception while investing in the market.
Therefore, under this study, the
researchers have conducted an empirical
analysis of the changes in several NSE
indexes’ values in pre pandemic lockdown
period and thelockdown period by
applying One-Tailed Paired t-test for
means. The observations are quite clear
that the investors’ perception has turned
negative in this pandemic situation.
Several recommendations have also been
provided by the researchers to bring the
market back in track to normalcy and to
escort the confidence of investors. The
appropriate causes behind such
perceptional changes among the investors
along with future research scope have also
been identified by the researcher in this
study
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
