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
GenAI-ing Ideas? Understanding Human-IS Collaboration for Creative Problem Solving
Get PDFCreative problem solving (CPS) is critical for both organizations and society. Generative AI-based creative systems are revolutionizing CPS, but the phenomenon requires better clarity. Additionally, the Information Systems (IS) research on CPS is a bit fragmented. This study meticulously reviews four different streams of literature and develops a Human-IS framework of CPS involving various constructs and assumptions. Using this framework, we explain how generative AI-based creative systems are altering the CPS phenomenon. We use the theoretical lens of ‘agency’ to differentiate the traditional creative systems from the contemporary agentic systems.

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
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
Effect of Website Design Characteristics on the Concreteness of Online Reviews: A Construal Level Perspective
Get PDFOnline reviews are a crucial aspect of businesses’ success. Thus, businesses encourage reviewers to write reviews offering concrete helpful information but such reviews are scarce. This study attempts to move beyond the traditional approaches to understanding reviewers’ behavior and uses a novel lens of ‘human construal’. By drawing on Construal Level Theory (CLT) we tend to understand reviewers\u27 and readers’ perceptions and utilize that for the maximization of review concreteness. Review concreteness is a semantic characteristic of a review and is considered an important aspect of reviews’ perceived quality. We examine if reviewers’ and readers’ construal can be utilized to manipulate some factors of website design in a way that it drives reviewers to write and readers to perceive more concrete reviews and consequently enhance the overall concreteness of reviews. The study amalgamates literature from psychology, marketing, and information systems and has significant potential to benefit both businesses and consumer
\u3cb\u3ePatronizing Technology: An Emergent Technophilic Behavior\u3c/b\u3e
Get PDFPatrons are widely recognized to be instrumental in the nourishment of creative endeavors like art, music, etc. But the role of a patron and the phenomenon of patronage have never been explored in the context of technology. Some of the individuals enthusiastic about technology demonstrate interest in supporting technology research and development through donations, crowdfunding, etc. It should, therefore, be of significant interest for researchers of human-technology interactions to study these behaviors using the concept of patronage. Hence, with this paper, we aim to introduce technology patron and patronage to IS research. We begin with a review and classification of existing roles studied in recent IS literature to uncover a gap in focus on technology support category, wherein we eventually define the scope of a patron. We conclude with process maps, a conceptual framework, and some research questions on technology patronage, to establish a foundation for future research
