    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    The mercury contamination of the Nura River /1-5/ has been begun since August, 1950, when the Karaganda Factory of Synthetic Rubber (SR) (since 1982 - PO «Carbide», from the beginning of 1990s - joint-stock company (AO) «Carbide») sets to development of production of acetaldehyde on the Kucherov method by a direct hydration of acetylene at the presence of the catalyzer - sulfate salt of mercury (II) in Temirtau city. Project development was carried out by «Hiprokauchuk" of Moscow City. The technological schema of acting acetaldehyde production of the firm IGFarbenindustry of Osventsim City, and also equipment which had been removed from Germany on reparations after ending of World War II were used

    Opportunistic behavior as behavior manipulations

    No full text
    © 2016 Elena Yakovleva, Natalia Grigoryeva and Olga Grigoryeva.The study of opportunistic behavior in relation with manipulation techniques is important because it directly affects the efficiency of agent’s relationship. We identified two forms of opportunistic behavior that depend on the subject composition of the contractual relationship. In the article we attempt to identify significant techniques of manipulation of information. It is important to understand real nature of opportunism in contractual relationship. The study proved the high importance, because it expands our knowledge about the nature of exogenous opportunistic manifestations as a society and economic phenomenon

    Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry

    No full text
    This work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
