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
Using creative problem solving methods to increase revenue in accounting firm x
Full text linkNamen diplomskega dela je s pomočjo metod ustvarjalnega reševanja rešiti problem, ki je povečanje prihodkov v računovodskem servisu X. V uvodnem delu smo opredelili in predstavili problem, v nadaljevanju pa smo teoretično predstavili izbrane metode ustvarjalnega reševanja problemov. Metode, katerim smo se posvetili so, tehnika W, miselni vzorec, viharjenje možganov, lista oznak, ter s pomočjo računalniškega programa Expert Choice izvedli metodo analitičnega hierarhičnega procesa. Opredelili smo se tudi na računovodski servis, storitve, ki jih lahko ponuja, ter analizirali prednosti in slabosti le tega. V empiričnem delu smo reševali problem s pomočjo izbranih metod ustvarjalnega reševanja problemov, na podlagi katerih smo prišli do ugotovitve, da je miselni vzorec ustreznejša metoda kot tehnika W pri definiranju problemov in priložnosti. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da viharjenje možganov privede do največ možnih generiranih idej. Strategije, ki smo jih primerjali med seboj so vključevale povečanje marketinške prisotnosti in promocijo storitev, uvedbo naprednih tehnoloških rešitev za optimizacijo računovodskih procesov, ter izboljšanje usposobljenosti zaposlenih in pridobivanje novega kadra. S pomočjo programa Expert Choice pa smo ugotovili, da je uvedba naprednih tehnoloških rešitev za optimizacijo računovodskih procesov, najustreznejša strateška rešitev za povečanje prihodkov v računovodskem servisu X.The purpose of the thesis is to solve the problem how to increase the revenue in accounting firm X using creative problem-solving methods. In the introductory part, we defined and presented the problem, followed by a theoretical presentation of selected creative problem-solving methods. The methods we focused on included the W technique, mind mapping, brainstorming, and attribute listing. Additionally, we employed the analytical hierarchy process using the Expert Choice software. We also examined the accounting service X, its offered services, and analyzed its strengths and weaknesses. In the empirical part, we addressed the problem using the selected creative problem-solving methods, leading to the finding that the mind mapping technique is more suitable than the W technique in defining problems and opportunities. Moreover, we discovered that brainstorming resulted in the generation of the highest number of ideas. The strategies we compared included increasing marketing presence and service promotion, implementing advanced technological solutions to optimize accounting processes, and enhancing employee skills and recruiting new personnel. Using the Expert Choice software, we found that the implementation of advanced technological solutions for optimizing accounting processes is the most suitable strategic solution for increasing revenue in accounting service X

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
