Minat adopsi fasilitas transaksi E-channel di bank syariah pada nasabah multibank
Full text linkThe growth of sharia banking in Indonesia which is considered slow cannot be separated from the role of communication. In the last few years, sharia banks have developed e-channel innovation as a pull factor, which is expected to be an attraction for people to switch to using their financial activities in sharia banks. There is another important thing, that is the lack of communication to the community. Therefore, this study will focus on discussing communication that should be carried out by sharia banks that is about the availability of e-channel facilities that are able to provide convenience in transactions without having to consider the obstacles beforehand.
This study aims to analyze communication and attributes of innovation as well as the level of awareness, interest and desire of consumers in adopting e-channel of sharia banks, and formulate managerial implications in the form of communication strategies in increase the adoption of e-channel that are appropriate for various characteristics of adopters. The data were obtained from 150 respondents selected by convenience sampling with the criteria of customers who have savings accounts both in conventional and sharia banks, and who have one of the e-channel facilities in conventional bank. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). This study is a type of quantitative research. Respondents were taken from the entire population of conventional and sharia bank customers in Jabodetabek (Greater Jakarta). The data were obtained by face-to-face interviews using questionnaire tools.
Based on the survey results showed that the sex composition was dominated by female respondents as much as 58% and men 42%. For the age of majority respondents, the range is 26-34 years as much as 52%, with an educational background of 67%. The jobs that became the dominant respondents were as private employees as much as 67% and the largest distribution of domiciles was in the Jakarta area as much as 64%.
The results of the study show that the communication that has been carried out by Islamic banking is still considered to be lacking in terms of the frequency of viewing and the type of media used. The majority of respondents know information about products or services through bank officers directly. The communication media currently used by Islamic banks has shifted to social media, this is part of a broader effort to expose information to the public.
The level of awareness of respondents towards sharia bank e-channel facilities is quite high. The level of interest of respondents who have not used sharia bank e-channels is low, amounting to 60.3%. The high interest of respondents continues to the next stage, which is interested in using e-channel facilities. In the final stage, it was found that there was an increase in the number of respondents, so that they were interested in sharia bank e-channels, namely 65.5%.
Regarding the media used by people, the category that belongs to innovators is the facility to use internet advertising media that has a wide range, fast, and easily obtain information. The category that belongs to early adopter is the facility to use advertising media on television with a more interesting message. For early majority category, it is the use of social approaches, namely word of mouth, between families or friends. The last category is late majority that can be reached by direct approach by bank officers. With the intention that the discussion is facilitated to answer the skeptic of a new innovation.
Managerial implications formulated to increase the adoption of the use of sharia bank e-channel by doing effective marketing communication, using messages that are easy to understand in conveying the benefits of sharia banks e-channel in helping transact activities without having to go to branch offices or ATM. In addition, the direct marketing process through the example of using e-channel applications by user customers can help increase interest in adopting.
Suggestions for further research in order to be able to include other variables related to interest in adoption that are not found in the model. The addition of other variables that might influence the interest in adopting Islamic bank e-channels, such as subjective norms, internet literacy, and socio-cultural factors
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
