An Appreciative Inquiry Approach to Female Senior Enlisted Army Veterans’ Cultivation of Resilience
No full text2023AbstractAlthough the number of women who reach senior enlisted positions in the U.S. Army continues to increase every year, their presence at the top still remains sparce. Women in all echelons share a number of challenges related to retention and promotion, such as balancing work with parental and familial responsibilities, receiving adequate mentorship, and enduring a workplace climate oftentimes viewed as hostile. These challenges do not stop every woman from ascending to senior enlisted ranks, indicating a level of resilience has been cultivated for her to thrive. The focus of this study was on the positive experiences of female senior enlisted U.S. Army Veterans and the moments they felt most alive and empowered while serving. I utilized Appreciative Inquiry in a phenomenological research design to explore the lived experiences of female U.S. Army Veterans who reached a senior enlisted rank to understand factors contributing to their cultivation of resilience by exploring the root cause of their successes. The study took place in the greater Washington, D.C. area of the United States. The findings draw attention to the importance of discovering, recognizing and developing the strengths of all Soldiers at the point of entrance into service throughout the entirety of their careers, and also actively engaging female Soldiers in supplemental resilience building sessions using Appreciative Inquiry to reframe the way they think and respond. This study contributes to existing research on resilience and informs innovative leadership and training within the U.S. Army to see an increase of women ascending to senior leadership positions.

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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
