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

DIVIDEND POLICY AND STOCK PRICE BEHAVIOR IN MALAYSIA AND THAILAND
Get PDFThis paper attempts to examine the impact of dividend policy on the stock price behavior in Malaysia and Thailand. For this purpose, a sample of 30 listed companies from Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange and 15 listed companies from the Stock Exchange of Thailand are randomly selected and examined for a period of 10 years from 2004 to 2013. The dependent variable of stock return is regressed against the dividend policy and the independent variables are dividend yield, dividend payout ratio, size of firm and asset growth rate. This study applles panel data approaches to analyze the relationship between the stock price behavior and dividend policy as well as the controlling variables. The empirical results of this study show that there are significant positive relationships between the stock return with dividend yield and asset growth rate in Malaysia. Dividend payout ratio and size of firm have a negative relationship with the stock return however it is not significant. In Thailand, dividend policy and other two variables cannot determine the stock return. All the independent variables are insignificant to influence stock return. After combining data of Malaysia and Thailand, only asset growth rate is found to be significant to influence stock price behavior. Dividend policy and size of firm have no impact on the stock return. The results of this study have major implications to investors and management of the firms
