No full textThis paper describes the e-Size project as well as presenting the preliminary results of its exploratory
survey administered to a sample of customers in the attempt to establish whether the integration of a size
recommendation application into a menswear fashion retail website had been successfully achieved by
verifying the size recommendations made by the application. From the preliminary findings, it emerges
that all participants found the size recommendation application easy to use. The majority of participants
received the correct size recommendation from the application, and would be willing to use the application
due to its helpfulness in providing a size recommendation when shopping online. However, users’
personal style and fit preference is an important factor, irrespective of the size that fits them correctly by
integrating additional garment and fit information into the application, retailers can ensure every user
will be able to receive a tailored recommendation that meets both their size and personal style preference

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
