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
Edson Roque Inventários e Auditorias EI
No full textO plano de negócios que aqui é apresentado refere-se a criação da ERIA que vem a ser um empreendimento intitulado Edson Roque Inventários e Auditorias EI. A ideia surgiu da observação e da vivência profissional desde 1999 junto ao varejo em atividades de venda e gerenciamento de negócios. Observo que embora com o passar dos anos, o comércio vem se especializando para potencializar suas capacidades e oportunidades porém nem todos os nichos são explorados de igual forma o que torna as grandes iniciativas alvo daqueles que objetivam implantar suas ideias e técnicas. No desempenho da função de profissional de vendas constatei que os micro e pequenos negócios normalmente não são explorados em suas potencialidades pois representam sozinhos uma pequena parte da obtenção do volume de vendas de um mercado gigantesco na interpretação de grande parte dos agentes do mercado. Nos meus objetivos de negócios nunca abri mão desse nicho, talvez por isso tenha sido bem sucedido na maioria de minhas tarefas voltadas ao varejo. Observei também que muitos destes negócios não possuem nenhuma espécie de acompanhamento profissional e a maioria gostaria de ser valorizado e melhorar seu desempenho pois seu negócio é o sustentáculo de sua família e quanto melhor desempenhe seu papel garante possibilidades de novos planos ou ganhos. Mas por que focar em auditoria e inventário? A resposta é óbvia! Desde o comerciante intuitivo como aqueles que controlam seus negócios pelo olhar, reconhece que vender e a alma do comercio mas minimizar perdas é crucial para manter esta relação saudável. Ter lucro é muito mais que comprar a R 4,00. Se o seu investimento sofrer alguma espécie de desvio, ou seja, o que comprou não esta disponível para comercializar
seja por perda ou avaria, causa grandes prejuízos pois é nesta troca que reside o ato de comercializar. Porém, apesar da importância desse controle, inventariar por exemplo é uma atividade exigente devido a necessidade de tempo, atenção, organização e principalmente critérios para execução minimizando erros. A maioria dos pequenos comerciantes não dedica uma hora diária para este controle e muitas vezes ali esta o gargalo onde explica o
porque falta o que vende e sobra o que não vende e assim ameaça a saúde financeira do negócio. Devemos considerar que o todo o tempo disponível do empreendedor deve ser usado em prol do negócio e nesta ideia, creio que vender facilidade e confiança a eles pode tornar-se um bom negócio e o elo de confiança para comercializar todo produto disponível. O mercado de auditorias e inventários comerciais movimenta milhões todos os anos porém
devido a especialização dos grandes grupos que operam nestes mercados os custos e o interesse de focar nos pequenos torna-se secundário. É neste hiato que a ERIA irá atuar focando o nicho de mercearias e comercio de hortifrutigranjeiros devido a suas características de alta perecibilidade de alguns itens em estoque como vegetais e frutas os quais manuseados sem a devida técnica constituem oportunidades certas de perdas consideráveis. Além dos serviços de auditoria profissional e inventários estabelecemos uma parceria com o software NEx que é um aplicativo voltado para automação comercial - com baixo custo embora tenha uma interface completa - para oferecermos uma gama de serviços completa e facilite a entrada nos possíveis clientes tenham sistemas automatizados ou não. Com a ERIA pretendemos iniciar um empreendimento que possa se perpetuar e embora comece como Empresa Individual com foco total na visitação do mercado, a pretensão hoje é manter-se sustentável e saudável do ponto de vista financeiro para uma mudança de patamar nos próximos anos. A necessidade inicial de aporte financeiro poderá ser atendida por capital próprio devido a pequena necessidade de investimento inicial e de acordo com nossos cálculos mesmo com uma performance mediana de vendas teremos o retorno dos investimentos nos próximos seis meses.15 f
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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
