    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    The Role of Financial Literacy and Risk Tolerance in Shaping Investment Behavior of Young Entrepreneurs

    The urgency of sustainable development has heightened global concern in green financing as a strategic method to promote environmentally responsible business practices. However, in emerging economies like Indonesia, incorporating green finance into corporate strategy remains disjointed, with restricted empirical evidence assessing its tangible impact on sustainability performance. This analysis aims to examine the effect of green financing on the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of publicly listed firms in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative research design, the study uses panel data regression analysis on secondary information collected from financial reports, sustainability disclosures, and ESG ratings of firms engaged in green finance activities between 2018 and 2023. The results reveal a substantial positive relationship between adopting green financial instruments—including green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and environmental capital expenditures—and improvements in ESG performance. These effects are especially pronounced in the environmental and social dimensions, with variation across industrial sectors. By grounding the analysis in Stakeholder Theory and the Resource-Based View, the study provides theoretical insights into the strategic value of green finance as a resource that enhances stakeholder trust and organizational capabilities. The findings contribute to the existing literature by furnishing robust, context-specific evidence from a developing market and offer practical implications for policymakers, corporate managers, and financial institutions seeking to align sustainability goals with financial strategies in support of long-term value creation

    Decentralization of local government management and public demand for transparency and accountability, forcing both central and local governments to create a more transparent and accountable financial management system, the system is expected to realize the financial management in an orderly, economical, effective, and efficient and beneficial to the community . Based on the description of the background, the authors formulate the problem as follows: Does budget participation significantly influence the managerial performance in PT POS Indonesia. Is accountability accounting significantly affect managerial performance in PT POS Indonesia. Is budgetary participation and accountancy accountability affect jointly to managerial performance. To achieve the research objectives in accordance with the expected in preparing this thesis and to obtain conclusions, the data collected will be analyzed with quantitative analysis. Quantitative method is the science or art related to the method (method) of data collection. The data used in this study is not necessarily the whole of a population, because the number of population size of this study is not identified, then to determine the number of samples of the study can use Slovin formula, which is 100 respondents. Based on F test it can be seen that the Budget Participation and Accounting Accountability influence simultaneously, from the test results coefficient determination known that the independent variables (Budget Participation and Accounting Accountability) have contributed to the dependent variable (Managerial Performance) and the rest influenced by other variables outside the independent variable Which has been studied. From the results of Test t (Partial) note that the independent variables (Budget Participation and Accounting Accountability) have a significant influence on Managerial Performance at Post Office Indonesia Branch. From the results of Partial Test (Test T) is known from the Budget Participation and Accounting the most dominant of Managerial Performance is Budgetary participation variable (X1)

    We 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
