Analyzing The Strength Between Mission And Vision Statements And Industry Via Machine Learning
Full text linkMission and vision statements are critical to a company’s success both from a company’s long-term goals and appearance to potential customers. We analyze a collection of 772 mission and vision statements from companies via natural language processing. This data is hand annotated into 15 industry types. We show the distinctiveness and connectiveness of each industry via text processing and machine learning techniques. The extracted features of each industry are a telling and guiding indicator of what that industry embraces. We show high predictive power via machine learning to determine an industry by looking only at the mission and vision statement
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
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
Categorizing Top Fortune Company Mission And Vision Statements Via Text Mining
Full text linkPurpose - The paper seeks to categorize mission and vision statements into clusters and demonstrate how these clusters can be profiled in the context of Globalization, Innovation and Strategy Centric features for assessment of strategic alignment, positioning and direction. Based on text mining methodology, mission and vision statements of the top 772 Fortune companies were analyzed to understand: 1) How mission and vision statements can be meaningfully categorized into clusters, 2) How attributes of each cluster can be meaningfully evaluated in the context of the degree to which Globalization, Innovation and Strategy Centric Mission and Vision statements are discovered. Clustering Toolkit (CLUTO) software was used for text mining the data collected from two websites. A recursive bisection approach has been followed to reach the desired number of six clusters, which were further analyzed through Wordle software for visual representation. The study clustered the companies in the dataset into groups in which globalization, innovation, and strategy issues were dominant. The epistemological contribution of this research includes how text mining can be used to meaningfully categorize a large dataset consisting of mission and vision statements of 772 Fortune corporations, how knowledge contained in a large dataset can be managed through the use of text mining in analyzing cluster attributes, and how these clusters can be profiled in the context of Globalization, Innovation and Strategy Centric features for assessment of strategic alignment, positioning, and direction
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
