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
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
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
Young people's perception of Zagreb as a tourist destination
No full textTuristička destinacija je noviji pojam, nastao sedamdesetih godina dvadesetog stoljeća, a
označava cjelokupan prostor na kojem nastaje turistički proizvod. Turistička destinacija u
potpunosti je podređena potrebama turista i nastoji zadovoljiti njihove želje i interese.
Zagreb je posljednjih dvadeset godina brzorastuća turistička destinacija koja je svoj turistički
proizvod temeljen na kulturno – povijesnim i prirodnim resursima upotpunila mnogobrojnim
kulturnim, sportskim i drugim manifestacijama.
Tema ovog istraživanja je percepcija mladih o Zagrebu kao turističkoj destinaciji. U
istraživanju koje je provedeno putem elektroničkog anketnog upitnika sudjelovalo je 54
ispitanika, većinom u dobi od 18 do 31 godinu. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da mladi ljudi
s područja Hrvatske percipiraju Zagreb kao grad zabave, pun aktivnosti i događanja u kojima i
oni sami sudjeluju. Manifestacija koju su gotovi svi ispitanici posjetili je Advent u Zagrebu
koji je pokrenuo zagrebačku zimsku turističku sezonu posljednjih nekoliko godina.Tourist destination is a newer term, formed in the 1970s, and it denotes the entire area where a
tourist product is created. A tourist destination is completely determined by the tourists’ needs,
and aims to fulfil their wishes and interests.
Zagreb has been a fast-growing tourist destination in the past twenty years, basing its tourist
product on the cultural-historical and natural resources, and enriching it with numerous
cultural, sports and other events.
The theme of this survey is the young people’s perception of Zagreb as a tourist destination.
54 participants, aged mostly between 18 and 31, took part in the survey, which was conducted
in the form of an anonymous questionnaire. The survey results show that young people in
Croatia perceive Zagreb as a city of fun, full of activities and events, in which they, too, can
participate. The one event visited by almost all of the survey participants is Advent in Zagreb,
which has started the Zagreb winter tourist season in the recent years
A comparative analysis of the effects of the COVID-19 crisis and the economic crisis on the operation of the Ta-grad d.o.o. construction company
No full textOvaj diplomski stručni rad sadrži opis ekonomske krize iz 2008. godine i krize izazvane pandemijom COVID-19. Diplomski stručni rad također sadrži opis utjecaja navedenih ekonomskih kriza na građevinski sektor i na poslovanje građevinskog poduzeća Ta-grad d.o.o. Glavni cilj odabira ove teme jest njezina relevantnost, te involviranost autora u svakodnevnu problematiku s kojom se sektor susreće. Iako je riječ o tradicionalnom sektoru, svjedoci smo iznimnih tehnoloških napredaka i upotrebe novih građevinskih materijala u svrhu uštede i brže izgradnje, za što je neophodno proučiti financijske pokazatelje. Na temelju analize promatranih financijskih pokazatelja, može se zaključiti da je velika gospodarska kriza koja se dogodila od 2008. do 2014. godine imala veći utjecaj na poduzeće u usporedbi s krizom COVID-19.This final paper contains a description of the economic crises of 2008 and the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This final paper also contains the impact of the aforementioned economic crises on the construction sector, and on the operations of the construction company Ta-grad. The main goal in choosing this topic is its relevance, and the author's involvement in the everyday issues faced by the sector. Although it is a traditional sector, we are witnessing exceptional technological progress and the use of new construction materials for the purpose of economising and all together faster construction, and for that to be done, it is necessary to study the financial indicators. Based on the analysis of the observed financial indicators, it can be concluded that the major economic crisis that occurred from 2008 to 2014 had a greater impact on the company compared to the COVID-19 crisis

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
