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
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
Orientacja zadaniowa w administracji publicznej – perspektywa strategiczna
Get PDFManagement of public administration institutions is a complex process, involving a wide range of issues. Rising changeability and competitiveness of the environment causes necessity of improvement in all types of organizations, including public institutions. They have to implement innovative management methods and techniques to rise the efficiency of action. One of the solutions that can be used in public administration to achieve it is a task orientation. The main purpose of the article is to present features of a task oriented institution in case of local and regional government public administration. First of all it was described a Management by Objective process. Than the author presents how to project the organization system to implement a task orientations. This solution effects on the management process in strategic and operational level. In the article it is presented the first of mentioned areas. It is known, that there are many problems with efficiency of strategic management in public administrations. To solve some of this problems it is needed to implement some methods that change a management process. In the article they are described two of them: AHP (analytic hierarchy process) and benchmarking.Małgorzata Bara
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
CONNECTIONS BETWEEN AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS AND TOTAL EXPORTS OF EU COUNTRIES
No full textOpracowanie ma na celu badanie relacji między eksportem produktów rolno-żywnościowych oraz eksportem ogółem krajów UE. Podjęto próbę zweryfikowania hipotezy o współzależności między tymi procesami. Do oceny stopnia współzależności między zmiennymi wykorzystano metody analizy szeregów czasowych.The paper attempts to investigate the relationship between the agro-food exports and total exports of EU countries. An effort was done to test the hypothesis of interdependence between these processes. In the sake of accessing the degree of the mutual interdependency between this variables the methods of time series analysis were employed
Agricultural production in Poland and agri-food exports
No full textOpracowanie ma na celu identyfikację dynamicznej przyczynowości zachodzącej pomiędzy wielkością produkcji rolnej w Polsce a eksportem towarów rolno-spożywczych. Identyfikacja wielkości i kierunku wpływu wskazanych zmiennych może posłużyć do kształtowania polityki gospodarczej. Badanie obejmuje lata 1991—2013 i opiera się na danych FAO; zastosowano w nim metodologię VAR (wektorowej autoregresji). Dokonano m.in. analizy funkcji odpowiedzi na impuls oraz dekompozycji wariancji błędów prognoz zmiennych modelu VAR. Wyniki badania wskazują, z jednej strony, że produkcja rolna w Polsce jest kształtowana zarówno przez opóźnienia własne, jak i opóźnienia eksportu. Z drugiej strony, eksport rolno-spożywczy pozostaje głównie pod wpływem własnej tendencji rozwojowej. Oznacza to, że w modelu VAR eksport należy postrzegać jako czynnik priorytetowy („bardziej egzogeniczny”).he research is aiming at the identification of the dynamic causality between agricultural production in Poland and exports of agri-food goods. Identification of the magnitude and direction of these variables may be used for economic policy forming. The study covers the period of 1991—2013 and is based on the data from the FAO; the research employs the vector autoregression methodology (VAR). The study comprises, among others, the analysis of the impulse response function and variance decomposition of forecasts’ errors of VAR model variables. The results of the research show that agricultural production in Poland is shaped by both own and exports delays. On the other hand, agri-food exports are mainly influenced by their own development trends. This means that, in the VAR model, exports should be seen as a priority ('more exogenous')
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS IN MANAGEMENT OF THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE EXAMPLE OF MOUNTAIN DISTRICTS
No full textCelem artykułu jest przedstawienie możliwości wykorzystania analizy wielowymiarowej w zarządzaniu strategicznym rozwojem lokalnym. Zaprezentowano nowe podejście do tego procesu, wspomagane metodą AHP oraz analizą porównawczą. Jako obszar badania wybrano powiaty górskie o podobnych cechach rozwojowych. Oceniono je pod kątem poziomu konkurencyjności, wykorzystując autorski model SEEGI, opisujący potencjał endogeniczny badanych jednostek. Na tej podstawie oceniono sytuację strategiczną badanych regionów.The aim of the article is to present the possibilities of using multidimensional analysis in strategic management of local development. Presented here is a new approach to this process, aided by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process and benchmarking). As the area were selected chosen mountain districts with similar characteristics and development. They were rated in terms of the level of competitiveness, taking a supply points of view (SEEGI Model), describing their endogenic potential. On this basis, the strategic situation of the investigated districts was assessed
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
Wielowymiarowa analiza porównawcza województw: podkarpackiego i małopolskiego
No full textZjawisko rozwoju regionalnego należy do bardzo złożonych i istotnych z punktu widzenia procesów zarówno społecznych, jak i ekonomicznych. Jest ono analizowane w ramach nauk społecznych, głownie z perspektywy ekonomii. Niemniej istotne wydaje się jednak także uwzględnienie aspektów związanych z procesem zarządzania rozwojem regionalnym. Taki właśnie kontekst przyjęto w niniejszym artykule. Jego celem jest porównawcza ocena dystansu rozwojowego dla pary sąsiadujących ze sobą województw - małopolskiego i podkarpackiego. Realizując te zamierzenia, w pierwszej kwestii dokonano przeglądu literatury dotyczącej teorii rozwoju regionalnego, a w szczegolności zagadnień potencjału i konkurencyjności regionów. Następnie przedstawiono modele badawcze, zbudowane z wykorzystaniem metody AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). Na ich podstawie przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą, wskazując podobieństwa i różnice pomiędzy badanymi województwami. W badaniu wykorzystano zarówno wybrane zmienne statystyczne, jak i zmienne zagregowane, zbudowane na podstawie wymienionych modeli. Opierając się na przeprowadzonych badaniach, sformułowano ogólne wnioski dotyczące zarówno dotychczasowych efektów zarządzania rozwojem regionu, jak i działań koniecznych do podjęcia w przyszłości.The phenomenon of regional development is a very complex and important from the point of view of both social and economic processes. It is analyzed within the social sciences, mainly from the perspective of economics. However, it seems important to also take into account aspects related to the management process of the regional development. That is the context adopted in this paper.Its aim is the comparative evaluation of the development gap for the pair of neighboring voivodeships - Małopolskie and Podkarpackie. Carrying out these plans in the first issue, a brief review of the literature on the theory of regional development was undertaken. In particular the issues of potential and competitiveness of regions were described. These phenomena were then described by test models, built using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). Then, a comparative analysis was provided, pointing out the similarities and differences between the two investigated regions. The study used both selected statistical variables as well as aggregate variables, built on the basis of models mentioned above. On the basis of the assessment conducted, a general conclusions were prepared. They concern the effects of both, previous effects of the management of the regional development and future activities that have to be taken as well
