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
Kvinnliga karriärstrategier i revisionsbranschen
No full textSammanfattning Titel Kvinnliga karriärstrategier i revisionsbranschen Datum 2012-05-31\u2028 Författare Besarta Hulaj & Daniel Nilsson Handledare Sven-Olof Yrjö Collin Utbildning Civilekonomprogrammet - redovisning\u2028 Kurs 4FE03E Examensarbete Redovisning – Civilekonomuppsats 30 hp\u2028 Inledning Revisionsbranschen har traditionellt sett varit ett manligt yrke, där normen har varit mannen. Trots att rekryteringen av kvinnor och män till revisionsbyråerna är lika stor är det fortfarande männen som bara några år efter inträde når högre positioner och har högre löner än sina kvinnliga kollegor. Ett problem som identifierats i dagens byråer är att kvinnor som inte får ett erkännande från byrån uttrycker att de vill lämna professionsyrket. Finns det då något beteende som kvinnor kan ta till sig för att förbättra sina möjligheter till en mer framgångsrik karriär i revisionsbranschen?\u2028 Problemformulering Kan vi identifiera kvinnliga karriärstrategier i revisionsbranschen som påverkar certifieringstiden? Kan de kvinnliga revisorernas karriärsmål och deras demografiska situation förklara valet av karriärstrategi och certifieringstid?\u2028 Syfte Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera kvinnliga karriärstrategier som påverkar certifieringstiden. Vi vill ta reda på denna aspekt genom att undersöka om det föreligger någon skillnad mellan manliga och kvinnliga revisorers karriärstrategier och hur valet av karriärstrategi påverkar certifieringstiden.\u2028 Metod Studien har baserats på en kvantitativ undersökningsmetod där det empiriska underlaget samlats in med hjälp av webb baserade enkäter. Urvalet har bestått av både godkända och auktoriserade revisorer som certifierats från 1 januari 2007 fram till 1 mars 2012. Resultat och slutsats Resultaten identifierade inte någon specifik karriärstrategi som påverkade kvinnliga och manliga revisorers certifieringstid. Studiens resultat visar att godkända manliga revisorer har en kortare certifieringstid än kvinnliga godkända revisorer. Bland de auktoriserade revisorerna fanns inga skillnader i certifieringstiden mellan könen. Kvinnliga revisorers certifieringstid påverkades av att de tog ut en längre föräldraledighet än vad de manliga revisorerna gjorde.Abstract Title Women’s career strategies in the audit business Date 2012-05-31\u2028 Authors Besarta Hulaj & Daniel Nilsson\u2028 Advisor Sven-Olof Yrjö Collin Education Graduate Business Administration Programme\u2028 Course 4FE03E Thesis in Business Administration–Major Accounting 30 hp Introduction The audit business has traditionally been a male profession, where the norm has been the man. Although the recruitment of women and men to the accounting firms are equal, it is still men who only a few years after entering the industry reaches higher positions and have higher salaries than their female colleagues. One problem identified in today ́s audit business is that women who do not receive acknowledgment report a higher tendency to plan to leave the business. Are there any behaviour that women can embrace to improve their opportunity for a more successful career in the audit profession? \u2028 Problem Can we identify women's career strategies in the audit profession that affect the certification period? Can the female auditors career goals and their demographic situation, explain the choice of career strategy and certification time? \u2028 Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify women career strategies that affect the certification time. We want to find out this aspect by examining whether there is any difference between male and female auditors' career strategies and how the choice of career strategy affects the certification time. \u2028 Method The study was based on a quantitative research method in which the empirical evidence was collected through Web-based surveys. The sample consisted of both approved and authorized auditors who passed their audit examination between the period of 1st of January 2007 until 1st of March 2012. \u2028 Results and conclusions The results did not identify a specific career strategy that affected female and male auditors certification time. Our results demonstrate that approved male auditors have a shorter certification time that female approved auditors. We found no difference in the certification time between the sexes among the authorized auditors. Female auditors certification time was affected by that they took out a longer parental leave than male auditors did
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
