    Richard Beecroft: Nachhaltigkeit - und wie man sie wissenschaftlich angehen kann - Vortrag am 26.03.2019 im Rahmen der 3. Frühlingstage der Nachhaltigkeit am KIT

    Nachhaltige Entwicklung ist in aller Munde, jeder ist dafür! Aber was verbirgt sich hinter dehnbaren Begriffen wie „Nachhaltige Entwicklung“ und „Nachhaltigkeitsforschung“? Bei den Frühlingstagen der Nachhaltigkeit am KIT erkunden bis zu 360 Teilnehmende, was Wissenschaft zum Verständnis der Nachhaltigkeit technischer, sozialer und ökologischer Systeme leisten kann. Nachhaltigkeit ist aktuell eines der wichtigsten Themen. Allerdings wird oft sehr emotional über dieses Thema diskutiert, das sowieso schwer zu erfassen sein kann. In seinem Vortrag beleuchtet Richard Beecroft, wie trotzdem wissenschaftlich an diese Themen herangegangen werden kann. Der Vortrag fand am 26. März 2019 im Rahmen der 3. Frühlingstage der Nachhaltigkeit am KIT statt

    Nachhaltigkeit ist käuflich... oder? Von Nutzen und Grenzen nachhaltigen Konsums - technik.kontrovers am 23.06.2016

    Politik soll regulieren, Hersteller ressourcenschonend produzieren, Konsumenten bewusst kaufen. Doch wie groß ist die Verantwortung des Einzelnen? Sollen wir bewusster konsumieren oder den Druck auf die Politik erhöhen? Und wie aussichtsreich ist die Zertifizierung von Produkten mit Nachhaltigkeitslabels oder die Abkehr von den Zielen ökonomischen Wachstums? Diese Fragen diskutierten die ITAS-Wissenschaftler Jürgen Kopfmüller und Richard Beecroft sowie Institutsleiter Armin Grunwald mit den Gästen des Themenabends „Nachhaltigkeit ist käuflich... oder?“ am 23. Juni 2016. Weitere Informationen zur Veranstaltungsreihe "technik.kontrovers" unter www.itas.kit.edu/technikkontrover

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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 text
    We 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
