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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Breaking market dominance from multi-sided market strategy: The case of Adobe
No full text雙邊市場策略目前在企業界被廣泛採用，對於經營電子商務的網路公司來說尤甚。企業透過雙邊市場中兩組不同消費族群產生的網路外部性，發展出向其中一方客群收費而補貼另一方客群的策略，使其雙邊的消費族群有效的相依成長。但是根據某些潛在證據顯示，一旦雙邊平台壟斷了整個市場，很可能會剝奪其中一邊消費者的權益，卻因為雙邊市場的特性，兩邊消費者的利害關係切割得非常清楚，補貼方跟付費方之間沒有利益的連結，導致不滿意的消費者難以伸張權益。在本研究中，我們以奧多比公司（Adobe）的PDF軟體雙邊平台做為研究案例，我們改變了以往從企業觀點切入的方式，而是從消費者的角度進行探討。分析結果顯示，顧客忠誠度對於企業壟斷程度有顯著的影響。此研究結果對於多邊市場中不論是公司端或客戶端皆有貢獻，使公司能從滿意的消費者中維持長期的盈利能力。Two-sided market strategy, the strategy that develops an effective way to create a growing user base, is widely used nowadays especially in e-business. For an online company, it is indeed an useful way to keep the two distinct user groups getting larger, but some evidences suggest that once the company dominates the market and even becomes monopoly, it may deprive the rights and interest of the money side; while the clearly stake-separated business model makes the consumers hard to voice their indignation, because the huge user base that grounded on the subsidy side has no stakes connected with the money side. In this research, we take Adobe''s PDF (Portable Document Format) software as our research focal case. The analysis results show that customer loyalty can have significant impact on the degree of monopoly. The results can provide important contributions for multi-sided markets, both for firms and consumers.1. Introduction 1

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
