    Rethinking our habits : development and effects of interventions to promote mindful sharenting

    No full text
    This chapter enhances our understanding of the influencer sharenting phenomenon by consolidating insights previously explored in the book. It delves deeper into the influence of contextual factors and cognitive biases, illustrating how these elements contribute to influencer parents' tendency to underestimate the risks associated with sharenting. This chapter also delineates the ecosystem in which influencer parents operate and the various factors that contribute to their inclination to prioritise short-term gains over the long-term downsides associated with sharenting behaviour. We examine existing interventions aimed at sensitising and supporting (influencer) parents regarding their sharenting behaviours and discuss the effectiveness of a Flemish intervention with a central focus on influencer sharenting. To conclude, the chapter offers inspiration for future interventions, underscoring the importance of considering diverse stakeholders beyond parents. We provide insights into the complexities of altering (influencer) sharenting behaviour and the challenges and opportunities for promoting online safety and long-term well-being of children. This comprehensive approach seeks to inform future research and intervention efforts, focusing on fostering collaborative and holistic strategies to address the evolving landscape of influencer sharenting in the digital age

    Sharing cute faces as a new revenue model : conceptualisation of the influencer sharenting phenomena

    No full text
    Influencers are popular social media users who post entertaining content on their social media channels (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube). Influencers do not only develop expertise in a specific domain (e.g., fashion, food, or parenting), they also reveal many details of their personal lives to build an authentic profile. The success of influencers mainly lies in this authenticity, whereby they create a personal and intimate bond with their followers. Influencer sharenting can be a powerful tool to increase authenticity. Specifically, influencers who specialise in the parenting domain or influencers who become parents often reveal personal details of their children, document their child's life online through a large number of videos and photos, and share many intimate details with their large follower base. In addition, some parents even create a separate profile for their children, where their children gain the status of a kidfluencer. This chapter will offer insights into the practices of influencer sharenting considering the commercial motive that underlies the behaviour

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    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
