    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

    In the era of globalization and the advancement of information technology, Ukraine’s foreign exchange market encounters economic uncertainty, particularly amid efforts to overcome the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges posed by a full-scale armed invasion by Russia. This situation introduces a range of short-term and long-term obstacles, notably disrupting established trade routes and supply chains, impacting the balance of imports and exports, and placing significant strain on the foreign exchange market among other areas.This article aims to analyze the current peculiarities of the domestic foreign exchange market’s operation amidst economic uncertainty, focusing on the impact of governmental and regulatory actions on its dynamics, especially throughout 2022-2023. It delves into the regulatory measures enacted to stabilize the foreign exchange market under martial law conditions. The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has implemented several countermeasures in response to these challenges, including covering 37% of the currency supply, which resulted in a reduction in daily transactions and an enhanced role in market equilibrium. The measures also include restrictions on capital transactions and the facilitation of international assistance to satisfy foreign exchange demands.The future outlook of the foreign exchange market is contingent upon economic recuperation, foreign investments, macroeconomic policies, geopolitical risks, and regulatory frameworks. The significance of domestic reforms and international support is underscored as pivotal. It is also noted that global economic tendencies will influence Ukraine’s foreign exchange market in the aftermath of the conflict. This study is aimed at providing insights for professional analysts of the foreign exchange market, governmental bodies, and international financial institutions. Future investigations will explore the implications of the NBU’s policies on the foreign exchange market and their potential to foster economic recovery in Ukraine amidst prevailing challenges and threats.В умовах глобалізації та розвитку інформаційних технологій валютний ринок України стикається з економічною невизначеністю, зокрема, у період подолання наслідків пандемії COVID-19 та повномасштабного російського збройного вторгнення в країну, що призводить до численних викликів коротко- та довгострокового спрямування. ­Воєнна агресія порушує усталені торговельні шляхи й ланцюги постачання, впливаючи на баланс імпорту та експорту, а також чинить суттєвий тиск (вплив) на валютний ринок за іншими напрямами. Метою статті є розгляд сучасної специфіки функціонування вітчизняного валютного ринку в умовах економічної невизначеності через вивчення дій держави та регулятора, які впливають на його динаміку, особливо впродовж 2022–2023 рр. Розглянуто контекст основних заходів контролю та регулювання для стабілізації валютного ринку в умовах воєнного стану. Констатовано, що у відповідь на сучасні виклики НБУ запровадив низку заходів реагування, зокрема, покривав 37 % пропозиції валюти, що призвело до зменшення щоденних операцій і збільшення участі в балансуванні ринку. Розкрито контекст обмежень на операції з капіталом і міжнародну допомогу для задоволення потреб в іноземній валюті. Відзначено, що перспективний стан валютного ринку залежить від відновлення економіки, іноземних інвестицій, макроекономічної політики, геополітичних ризиків і регулювання ринку. Виділено фактори внутрішніх реформ і міжнародної підтримки як таких, що матимуть вирішальне значення. Акцентовано, що світові економічні тенденції також впливатимуть на валютний ринок України на післявоєнному етапі. Запропоноване наукове дослідження може бути корисним фаховим аналітикам валютного ринку, державним установам, міжнародним фінансовим ­організаціям. Перспективні дослідження будуть зосереджені на вивченні того, як політика НБУ може вплинути на валютний ринок і сприяти повоєнному відновленню економіки України в умовах сучасних викликів та загроз

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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

    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In 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.
