Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
CORRELATION BETWEEN GDP AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: CASE STUDY USA
No full textThe United States is a developed country has the world\u27s largest economy by GDP, gaining from an abundance of natural resources and high worker productivity. The U.S.A economy is the post-industrial, the country continues to be like one of the world\u27s largest manufacturers. Military spending 36% and 23% of the world GDP, it is the world\u27s economic and military power, a famous political and cultural force, and a leader in innovations. In this paper, we study the correlation between GDP and unemployment rate, which the high rates of jobless, is causing by slow economic growth including recessions or depression, which measured by GDP. In return, unemployed workers have less to spend, which aggravate any slump. This downward cycle is very injurious, and best avoided. The applying will be on USA from 1929 until 2011 using regression and correlation analysis
Investigate Economical Decision System Framework to Support Gas Crisis - Case Study: UAE
Full text linkDecision Support Systems (DSS) are mainly computer based applications include essential component called Database to support rational Decision Making process by analyzing, determining and evaluating the available raw data, documentations, knowledge to reach rational alternative set of actions, identify and solve business problems, and present various economical business decisions. UAE has been determine more than ten years ago a clear strategy to reduce the dependency of their GDP on Oil products. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the UAE's oil independence strategy and to propose a Decision Support Framework (DSF) generalizing their excellent perspective for the other oil producer countries to determine the most appropriate economical alternative solution as a substitute for a Gas Crisis. In this article, one of the famous DSS is used; Group Decision Support system is the most suitable tool for the investigated problem to build an effective Decision Support to help the oil producer countries for the sack of their GDP's oil independency.The proposed DSF will help the users to achieve their main competitive advantage through effective acts in innovation. Its simulate the UAE strategy through the new technologies as well as modern techniques that used to create new things has never been made before and can be recognized as a unique product. This article introduced a DSF to support the oil producer countries to diversify their GDP resources and to reduce its oil dependency
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
