    Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to comprehend the influence of two distinct types of content on customer engagement and loyalty, with a specific emphasis on the Instagram platform. Additionally, the research seeks to investigate how the content on Instagram can impact consumer engagement behaviors and loyalty toward Scarlett products. Method: Data for this study were collected through a survey link. The survey was distributed to 223 participants, with 176 respondents actively participating. However, only 147 questionnaires met the established criteria for inclusion, as the remainder still needed to satisfy the stipulated requirements. The data analysis was conducted utilizing the SmartPLS4 software. Result: The findings of this study indicate that both informational and entertainment content significantly influence customer engagement and loyalty. However, it is noteworthy that customer engagement, as identified in this research, has little impact on customer loyalty. Consequently, it is imperative to create and reinforce all facets of informational and entertainment-based content. Doing so will stimulate more active engagement from social media followers, directly influencing customer loyalty

    The objectives of the study are to determine consumer ethnocentrism andto examine consumer preferences in buying high and low involvement products. Low involvement products which were examined are isotonic drinks, whilst high involvement products employed in the study are laptops. A convenient sample of 152 students was employed in the survey. The result of Wilcoxon test indicates that there is a significant difference in consumer ethnocentrism in purchasing low involvement products and high involvement products. Consumers demonstrate a higher level of ethnocentrism when buying isotonic drinks. On the other hand, the level of consumer ethnocentrism is lower in the purchase of high involvement products, laptops. The result of Friedman test concludes that consumers have a different preference in buying high involvement and low involvement products. In low involvement products, consumers tend to use local products, whilst in high involvement products, consumers prefer international brands. It seems clear that Indonesian companies need to improve the quality of their products and convince Indonesian consumers that their products can match those of international brands

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    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
