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
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
Investigating the Roles of Customer Satisfaction and Corporate Donation in the Digital Marketing Environment
No full textPrior studies suggest that retailer’s brand image, location of the store etc. have significant impacts on traditional brick & mortar stores (i.e., off-line retailers) in terms of the customers’ attraction for visiting these stores. Earlier research also reveals that a good website design which facilitates a user’s web browsing behavior would generally lead to better web site traffic in case of on-line retail stores. However, the extant literature confirms that there is not much research done on customer satisfaction in the online domain that predicts the web site traffic significantly. Therefore, in my Essay 1, I empirically investigate if web site traffic is a function of customer satisfaction in this internet saturated business world. In today’s world, businesses across industries are keenly interested in elevating the site traffic to their own websites. This is not a surprise since websites perform a variety of functions such as being the storefront for sales transactions, a mode of communication to (and from) potential and actual customers, and a tool for building the equities of the company’s brands. Previous research has suggested several potential drivers of web site traffic such as a variety of types of website characteristics. Little research exists on how customer satisfaction with a company may determine web site traffic. We utilized customer satisfaction data from U.S. companies to try and explain customers’ web traffic behavior. We found that for certain types of scenarios, satisfaction was a significant determinant of web traffic pattern whereas for other conditions, it was not. These patterns were consistent with some hypotheses that we developed following our review of the literature. Understanding these patterns and online shoppers’ preferences not only allow marketers to better position their company’s virtual presence but also open up opportunities to gain competitive advantages. Our findings have managerial implications that are very relevant in today’s world of business. At the end, we discussed the important theoretical contribution and the managerial implications along with the empirical evidence of the impact of customer satisfaction on website traffic.
The second essay of my dissertation explores if engaging (of companies) corporate’s philanthropic behavior affects the consumers’ overall web site traffic behavior for those companies. Today many rising social enterprises have integrated corporate philanthropic activities into their marketing program, let alone the top-notch Fortune 500 companies. Our investigation is based on theory that web site traffic is affected by the direct and indirect influences of the corporate philanthropic behavior of the companies. Although considerable research has examined the effectiveness of CSR as a marketing strategy, scant research has examined if and how corporate prosocial behavior affects consumers’ website traffic in the online domain. Specifically, it is not clear whether corporate donation activities have any effects on the consumers’ site traffic behavior. In this essay, I examined the effect of corporate donation and other important variables on the consumers’ site traffic behavior by using the corporate philanthropy data available for Fortune 500 companies. Our findings have market place implications

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
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
