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
THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON TOURISM SUPPLY AND DEMAND
No full textTurizam je jedan od najvažnijih sektora za svijet koji svakog dana sve više raste. Povećanjem masovnog turizma došlo je do sve većeg ispuštanja štetnih tvari u okoliš čime pridonosi učincima globalnog zatopljenja i efekta staklenika koji će u budućnosti negativno utjecati na svjetski turizam. Mnoge poznate svjetske destinacije uz obalu i na otocima bi mogle biti u potpunosti potopljene, a zimske destinacije bi mogle izgubiti na svojoj atraktivnosti zbog nestajanja snijega. U ovom radu opisana je međuovisnost klimatskih promjena i turizma.Tourism is one of the most important sectors for the world, which is growing more and more every day. With the increase of mass tourism, there has been an increasing release of harmful substances into the environment. Due to all this, there is a global warming and the greenhouse effect that will negatively affect world tourism in the future. Many of the world’s famous destinations along the coast and on the islands could be completely submerged, and winter destinations could lose on their attractiveness due to the disappearance of snow. This paper describes the interdependence of climate change and tourism
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
INITIAL COIN OFFERING
No full textDigitalne ili virtualne valute poznate kao kriptovalute omogućuju sigurne online transakcije bez potrebe za posrednicima. Blockchain tehnologija dijeljene distribuirane knjige te stvaranje kriptovalute Bitcoin doveli su do razvoja nove metode prikupljanja kapitala i financiranja za mnoge projekte, a načina ostvarivanja dobrog povrata na investiciju ulagačima koristeći globalni fenomen koji privlači sve više privlači interes javnosti posebice nakon vrtoglavog porasta vrijednosti kripovaluta. Inicijalna ponuda kriptovaluta za razliku od tradicionalnih metoda prikupljanja financiranja kao što su inicijalne javne ponude, crowdfunding i slično, koristi kriptoimovina pod nazivom tokeni koji imaju vlastiti blockchain i mogu se koristiti za financijske transakcije. Prednosti ICO su brzo prikupljanje kapitala, visoka likvidnost i dostupnost, minimalni troškovi prikupljanje kapitala, kao i nepostojanje geografskog ograničenja obzirom da se blockchain tehnologiji može pristupiti iz bilo kojeg dijela svijeta uz upotrebu interneta, a za ulagače brzi povrat na investiciju. Inicijalne ponude kriptovaluta i blockchain tehnologija imaju i velike rizike obzirom na pojavu sve većeg broja lažnih ICO tokena, ali i nedostatka jedinstvene zakonske regulative vezane uz poslovanje kriptovalutama.Digital or virtual currencies known as cryptocurrencies are made to secure online transactions without the need for intermediaries. Blockchain technology with shared distributed ledger and the creation of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin led to development of a new method of raising capital and financing for many projects, and a way of achieving a good return on investment for investors using a global phenomenon that is attracting more and more public interest, especially after the skyrocketing value of cryptocurrencies. Initial coin offering, unlike traditional methods of fundraising such as initial public offerings, crowdfunding and others, uses cryptoassets called tokens that have their own blockchain and can be used for financial transactions. The advantages of ICO are quick capital raising, high liquidity and availability, minimal capital raising costs, as well as the absence of geographic restrictions, since blockchain technology can be accessed from any part of the world with the use of the Internet, and for investors a quick return on investment. The initial offers of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology also have risks due to the appearance of an increasing number of fake ICO tokens, as well as the lack of legal regulation related to the business of cryptocurrencies
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
