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
The Effect of Total Quality Management Application on Internal Audit Function and Its Impact on the Financial Reporting Quality (A Survey on the Bandung Municipal Government, West Java Province)
Full text linkThis study is aimed to determine the effect of Total Quality Management (TQM), which consists of Customer Focused, Continuous Improvement and Employee Empowerment, as well as the Internal Audit Function on the Financial Reporting Quality on SKPD (Regional Working Units) that have obtained ISO 9001:2008 certification in Bandung Municipal Government. Data were collected using a questionnaire instrument distributed to the relevant head of SKPD. The study was conducted by an explanatory research method. The collected data were tested for validity and reliability. The analytical method used was path analysis. Based on findings, it is found that Total Quality Management, which consists of Customer Focused, Continuous Improvement and Employee Empowerment, simultaneously affect the Internal Audit Function. The effect of each variable is significant between: (a) Customer Focused on Internal Audit Function; (b) Continuous Improvement on the Internal Audit Function, and (c) Employee Empowerment on Internal Audit Function. Furthermore, it is also found that Total Quality Management and the Internal Audit function directly and indirectly affect the Financial Reporting Quality. The effect of each variable is significant between: (a) Customer Focused Internal through Audit Function affects the Quality Financial Reporting, (b) Continuous Improvement through the Internal Audit Function affects the Financial Reporting Quality, (c) Employee Empowerment through Internal Audit function affects the Financial Reporting Quality, and (d) Internal Audit function directly affects the Quality Financial Reporting. Keywords: Total Quality Management (TQM), Customer Focused, Continues Improvement, Employee Empowerment, Internal Audit Function, Financial Reporting Qualit
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
PENGARUH EFEKTIVITAS PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI TERHADAP KUALITAS LAPORAN KEUANGAN PEMERINTAH DAERAH
Full text linkThis research has purposes to know how the impact of the effectiveness of the technology information application to the quality of financial report in the regency area governance. This methods used into this research is verification descriptive. The data collected by spreading questioners that use semantic defferensial scale on its scoring. To assess the impact of effectiveness of the application of information technology (X) to the quality of financial report (Y), then used simple linear regression. Where as to know how much the impact that is given to the variable of independence, then use coefficient of determination. The result of the analysis shows that the applied of effectiveness information technology has positive impact to the quality of financial report in regency governance. Effectiveness of the application of information technology give impact 53,0% to the quality of financial report of the official regency governance, the agency and office in the environment of Sukabumi regency. While the rest 47,0% is the impact of another factors outside effectiveness of the application of information technology.</jats:p
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
