Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Marketing de varejo: as estratégias adotadas pelos supermercados de vizinhança para conquistar e fidelizar clientes
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.Este estudo se propõe a identificar o efeito das estratégias de marketing utilizadas pelos supermercados compactos, ou de vizinhança como estão sendo chamados, no processo de conquista e fidelização de clientes. A metodologia utilizada se compõe de pesquisa exploratória, através de um variado referencial bibliográfico, e pesquisa de campo, com a aplicação de questionários junto aos gerentes supermercadistas e consumidores. Trabalhou-se o referencial teórico a partir de uma bibliografia técnica, de autores clássicos do marketing e de periódicos específicos. O estudo percorreu as abordagens do marketing e as formulações estratégicas voltadas para o varejo em geral e o supermercado em particular, até aportar no fenômeno do supermercado de vizinhança. Os resultados do trabalho de campo serviram para o balizamento das conclusões, onde se identificou o composto estratégico utilizado pelos supermercadistas e seus efeitos percebidos pelos consumidores. As conclusões que se tirou deste estudo respondem, de modo satisfatório, aos objetivos do trabalho, pois foi possível conhecer as ferramentas de marketing apropriadas e o impacto das ações empregadas na conquista e manutenção de clientes nas lojas dos supermercados vizinhos. Observou-se que o consumidor está respondendo positivamente ao marketing desse formato de loja, principalmente pela conveniência de localização e preço. No entanto, ele se mostra completamente descompromissado com o supermercado que freqüenta. Isso evidencia que os supermercados vizinhos são capazes de conquistar o cliente, levando-o para dentro da loja, mas não conseguem fidelizá-lo

Revealing otherness : a comparative examination of French and English medieval hagiographical romance
No full textThis dissertation is an analysis of three hagiographical romances written in France around the thirteenth century and later adapted into English. The texts are Ami et Amile, Robert le Diable and Florence de Rome and their English counterparts Amis and Amiloun, Sir Gowther and Le bone Florence of Rome. All six texts have been understudied, with the possible exception of Ami et Amile. They are linked in many ways, some thematic, some generic. They have all caused confusion and arguments as to what their genre is (Epic? Saint’s life? Romance? A combination of two or three genres?) and feature the defining notions of otherness, exile and penance. In spite of appearances, this work shows that the French and English authors prove to have quite different takes on the same stories. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis and postcolonial theory, the chapters discuss the presence of otherness in the texts, in all its manifestations and offer new readings of the poems as well as possible solutions to the difficult question of genre in the middle ages. The many shapes taken by the other/Other (physical and emotional otherness; hybridity and gender) are exposed and utilised to uncover the meanings and ideological complexities of these multidimensional poems. This approach also reveals that the English texts propose a more conservative reading of common material than did their French originals. It is therefore suggested that the generic tendencies of these medieval texts be correlated with the importance of the Other in the respective redactions of the tales. Reading without consideration of these two factors produces a lopsided comparative view, while reading with both in mind leads to a better appreciation of rewriting and adaptation in the Middle Ages
