Digital Project Management
No full textIn Digital Project Management – Strategic Theory and Practice, the authors emphasize the importance of maintaining rigor and depth while leveraging digital tools to address traditional challenges such as cost overruns and time constraints. This book is written for a wide-ranging audience with varying expertise in project management. Undergraduate and postgraduate students and practitioners in social sciences, science, technology, business, healthcare, and education will benefit from foundational and advanced concepts. Experienced project management researchers seeking to incorporate digital tools into their methodologies will find practical and theoretical insights. Additional audiences include industry practitioners in project management research, strategic consulting, and policy analysis, who can use the book to enhance the strategic application of digital project management in real-world scenarios. Non-traditional project managers are also addressed as individuals exploring project management practice in a digital age for creative, government-funded projects, NGOs, and advocacy projects. This book is a foundational resource for courses on digital project management methods, offering step-by-step guidance and real-world examples. It provides actionable insights into implementing digital tools in project management studies, from data collection to visualization. The book also highlights the role of strategic theory and practice in project management strategic decision-making across project planning, execution, monitoring and control management

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
PRISMA statement and thematic analysis framework in hospitality and tourism research
No full textThis paper aims to explore the application of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklists for advanced systematic reviews of literature and Thematic Analysis Framework (TAF) focusing on A-15 Point checklist for qualitative data analysis in hospitality and tourism research. There exists paucity of knowledge and extant literature work that are dedicated to highlight the application of PRISMA and TAF checklists. There are several studies that have presumably adopted PRISMA and TAF; however, most of these studies merely mentioned in their methodology section that these two checklists were adopted. This paper reviews previous studies that have adopted PRISMA and TAF in hospitality services, tourism and other related studies to identify the extent to which the two checklists have been applied. Findings show limited amount of literature work adopted the PRISMA checklists; and it appears most authors are not aware of the TAF. These findings contribute to the existing knowledge the necessity to apply PRISMA in systematic literature reviews and TAF checklists for qualitative data analysis. Practical implications include the need for the journal article editors, edited book chapter editors, conference scientific committee and peer-reviewers to be familiar with PRISMA and TAF checklists to enrich the quality of published academic papers in hospitality and tourism. Directions for future studies are discussed further
The role of Regional foods and food events in rural destination development: The Case of Bario, Sarawak
No full textFor many years, tourism has been used as a tool to develop economies of rural areas (Sharpley 2002, 2007). However, current research shows that rural tourist destinations struggle to market themselves, mainly because they lack distinguishable characteristics (Haven-Tang & Sedgley 2014). Rural destinations tend to sell common tourism attributes which include nature, landscape, cultural heritage, behaviour of the host community and local gastronomy. In this regard, Bario is no exception. Bario is a local village in east Malaysia located in the north-east of Sarawak, very close to the international border with Indonesian Kalimantan. It has an approximate population of 1,200 residents, of which a majority are indigenous Kelabits (Malaysian Government 2011). Given that Bario sits between 3,200 and 6,000 feet above the sea level, it is only accessible via a Twin-Otter small aircraft twice a day. Land accessibility takes between 12 and 14 hours from the nearest city of Miri. Alternatively, one can hike or trek for two days from Ba’kelalan to reach Bario. These difficulties with physical access for both local residents and visitors add to the complexities that rural tourist destinations are already facing in terms of marketing. In order to help promote their village, local tourism entrepreneurs in Bario organised its first Pesta Nukenen – Bario Slow Food and Cultural Festival – in 2006. Now in its tenth year, the event has attracted an increasing number of attendees and is included in the official Sarawak Tourism Board’s (STB) calendar of events. Prior to the commencement of Pesta Nukenen, the village has been promoted through its Bario rice products. In this chapter, we explore the viability of villages such as Bario in using regional foods and food events as determinants for rural destination development.No Full Tex
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
