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
Factores determinantes de la imagen corporativa en la Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Calceta
Get PDFCorporate image is a strategic resource that contributes to consolidating the institutional image, facilitates communication with the target public, and improves organizational positioning. In the case of the banking sector, the intangibility of services and the similarity of financial products offered mean that consumers hardly perceive any difference between one entity and another. Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Calceta is a banking institution in the province of Manabí. However, despite being an entity with solid financial foundations, it needs to expand its client portfolio based on the recognition of its services in the banking sector. Therefore, the objective of the research is to evaluate the determining factors of the corporate image in the Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Calceta in correspondence with the perception of consumers. The research was non-experimental, with a mixed, cross-sectional approach and descriptive scope. The results enabled the evaluation of clients' perceptions of the determining factors of corporate image, as well as which factors are best positioned to result in security, credibility, product/service quality, and respect. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) metric corroborated the results obtained from the evaluation of customer satisfaction.La imagen corporativa es un recurso estratégico que contribuye a consolidar la imagen institucional, facilita la comunicación con el público objetivo y mejora el posicionamiento organizacional. En el caso del sector bancario, la intangibilidad de los servicios y la similitud de los productos financieros ofertados hacen que el consumidor apenas perciba diferencias entre una entidad y otra. La Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Calceta, es una entidad bancaria de la provincia de Manabí. No obstante, a pesar de ser una entidad con sólidos cimientos financieros, requiere de ampliar su cartera de clientes basado en el reconocimiento de sus servicios en el sector bancario. Por ello, el objetivo de la investigación consiste en evaluar los factores determinantes de la imagen corporativa en la Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Calceta en correspondencia con la percepción de los consumidores. La investigación fue de tipo no experimental, con enfoque mixto, transversal con alcance descriptivo. Los resultados permitieron evaluar la percepción de los clientes sobre los factores determinantes de la imagen corporativa, así como cuales de ellos son los que mejor posicionados, dando como resultado la seguridad, credibilidad, calidad del producto/servicio y el respeto. La métrica Net Promoter Score (NPS) corroboró los resultados obtenidos a partir de la evaluación de la satisfacción de los clientes

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
