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
Analyzing the Polish and Croatian offshore wind (OFW) markets from MOL Group’s perspective and providing a go-tomarket strategy - Public Version
Get PDFOffshore wind (OFW) is playing a dominant role in the global green transition. In this thesis, the global OFW industry is examined from a technical, energetic, economic and environmental point of view. Also, main market developments and corporate strategies are discussed. Based on this, the author establishes a blueprint of a well-functioning OFW market design and provides concrete recommendations to MOL Group on how to approach its two potential offshore wind markets: Poland and Croatia. In the restricted, full version of this analysis, the two potential OFW markets for MOL Group are analyzed in depth. At the end, a regulatory, wind potential, supply chain, organizational, and financial considerations will all be taken into account to draw a conclusion for the Group. The complete analysis can serve as a go-to-market strategy for MOL Group in offshore wind. Lastly, conclusions are drawn
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
RES Market in Montenegro : a comparative analysis of the Montenegrin RES market and the country's potential of RES
Get PDFThe purpose of this Master Thesis is to analyze the Montenegrin renewable energy market with its actual and future potential and the country´s 2020 energy and climate target assessment. Furthermore this market will be evaluated in accordance with national policies and investment opportunities as well as the European perspective. Also the country´s competitiveness of proposed support systems for RES will be elaborated under the framework of the Energy Community and EU agenda. Three types of RES are analyzed with regard to their potential, long run generation costs, their current situation of implementation (status quo analysis) and their proposed support schemes. These types are hydropower, wind energy and biomass. Solar thermal energy, municipal solid waste and biofuels are also discussed with regard to their potential, availability and prospect. The above gained information will be compared with the Hungarian RES market according to the study of "Renewable Energy Industry Roadmap for Hungary" and results will be elaborated in accordance with implemented policies and proposals for future provisions The conclusion of this study determines, that the country has a promising potential for renewable energy, but does not apply it effectively nor sustainably. However, the country is still far away from having implemented accurate renewable energy policies and frameworks and lacks of a profound strategy to attract foreign and local investment. This fact also gives some profound arguments that privatization of State assets goes sometimes hand in hand with corruption. A typical example is tender procedures which were several times cancelled or were won by the second or third best offer. In the moment the country follows a strategy of selling off its energy producing infrastructure to international investors and does not seriously focus on implementing support schemes for decentralized RES for solar or biomass by example. These energy sources could definitely boost the production of green energy. The availability of reliable statistics is another problem as well as a certain lack of political commitment towards the privatized aluminum smelter KAP. This smelter inhabits a predominant share in final energy consumption of 40% and demands a final solution and decision by the Montenegrin Government. In officially presented statistics for the EU 2020 energy goal proposals, the government prefers to offer 2 scenarios, namely one with KAP and one without KAP, which cannot be an acceptable solution in the long run. Also the inability to correctly evaluate the inbound tourism in strategy papers for future energy consumption and supply is a main deficit in all official documents and statistics. The current peak season of 3 months receives approximately an additional one third of the Montenegrin population in terms of tourists and it is planned that this number will be almost 5 times more compared to 2010 figures. None of the governmental statistics is dealing with this very important fact, because these peak times need to be considered and evaluated in the country´s future energy strategy
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
