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
L’Intelligence économique : levier de développement stratégique à l’international
Full text linkL’Intelligence économique : levier de développement stratégique à l’internationalNotre principale problématique de cette recherche porte sur la capacité d’absorption d’une entreprise au sein d’un dispositif d’intelligence économique afin de développer un avantage concurrentiel à l’international. Notre recherche porte sur l’articulation entre deux concepts majeurs en sciences de gestion : l’intelligence économique et la capacité d’absorption. Nous tentons de déterminer un cadre conceptuel et théorique pour comprendre les articulations existantes de l’intelligence économique et la capacité d’absorption. L’IE de par sa fonction stratégique d’aide à la prise de décision et son approche processus de traitement de l’information, permet d’améliorer la capacité d’absorption de l’information externe par l’organisation dans le but de créer un avantage concurrentiel pérenne. A ce titre, l’information collectée par la pratique de la veille puis analysée et interprétée par un système IE globale se transforme en ressource stratégique créatrice de valeur pour la firme. C’est ce mécanisme de transformation que nous tentons d’élucider à travers la proposition d’un modèle de recherche et la formulation de ses hypothèses. Dans cet article, nous nous basons sur l’approche basée sur les ressources et le cadre théorique des capacités dynamiques pour répondre à notre problématique de recherche.Mots clés : Intelligence économique, capacité d’absorption, avantage concurrentiel, performance, innovationClassification JEL : M ; L20 ; L15AbstractCompetitive Intelligence: strategic lever for international development Our research problem deals with linkage between Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) and Competitive Intelligence (CI) to convert information into competitive advantage. Our research focuses on the articulation between two major concepts in management science: competitive intelligence and absorptive capacity. We aim to determine a conceptual and theoretical framework to understand the existing articulations and linkage between these two concepts. Competitive intelligence through its strategic function and its process approach, improves the ability of the organization to absorb external information in order to create a lasting competitive advantage. Indeed, the information collected and then analysed and interpreted by a global IE system, is transformed into a strategic resource that creates value for the firm. This is the mechanism of information transformation that we are trying to elucidate through the proposal of a research model and its hypotheses. In this article, we based our research on the resource-based approach and the theoretical framework of dynamic capabilities. Finally, we concretely study a company’s ability to transform information from its external environment into strategic resources that create a lasting competitive advantage.Key words : competitive intelligence, absorptive capacity, competitive advantage, performance, innovationJEL classification: M ; L20 ; L15الملخصعنوان المقال بالعربيةتتعلق مشكلتنا الرئيسية في هذا البحث بالقدرة الاستيعابية للشركة داخل جهاز استخبارات اقتصادي من أجل تطوير ميزة تنافسية دولية. يركز بحثنا على الربط بين مفهومين رئيسيين في علوم الإدارة: الذكاء الاقتصادي والقدرة الاستيعابية. نحن نحاول تحديد إطار مفاهيمي ونظري لفهم المفاهيم الموجودة للذكاء الاقتصادي وقدرة الاستيعاب. تحسين القدرة الاستيعابية للمعلومات الخارجية من قبل المنظمة من خلال وظيفة دعم اتخاذ القرار الاستراتيجي ونهجها في معالجة المعلومات من أجل إنشاء ميزة تنافسية دائمة. على هذا النحو ، فإن المعلومات التي يتم جمعها من خلال المراقبة ثم تحليلها وتفسيرها بواسطة نظام EI العالمي تتحول إلى مورد استراتيجي يخلق قيمة للشركة. إنها آلية التحول التي نحاول توضيحها من خلال اقتراح نموذج بحثي وصياغة فرضياته. في هذه المقالة ، نعتمد على النهج القائم على الموارد والإطار النظري للقدرات الديناميكية للاستجابة لمشكلة البحث لدينا.الكلمات المفتاحية : الذكاء الاقتصادي ، القدرة الاستيعابية ، الميزة التنافسية ، الأداء ، الابتكا

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
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
