    Digitala verktyg spelar en allt större roll i individers yrkesliv. Denna studie undersöker hur digitaliseringen av arbetsplatser och arbetsprocesser påverkar yrkesaktiva, deras IT-identitet och rolluppfattning inom ett IT-beroende arbetssystem. Genom ett sociotekniskt perspektiv samt teorier om IT-identitet, tredje ordningens effekter och sociala aktörer analyseras hur digitalt arbete och den digitala arbetsplatsen formar upplevelsen av arbete och professionell identitet. Studien bidrar med ett medarbetarperspektiv och undersöker hur digitalisering påverkar yrkesroller och identitetsskapande.  Syftet är att förstå hur digitaliseringen av arbetsplatser påverkar individens yrkesroll och identitet samt vilka faktorer som driver dessa förändringar. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod där sex djupintervjuer genomfördes med yrkesverksamma från två branscher, valda genom gatekeeper-metoden. Respondenterna har minst tio års yrkeserfarenhet och varierande inställningar till digitalisering.  Analysen visar att digitaliseringen kan stärka yrkesidentiteten hos individer med en stark IT-identitet, medan de med en svagare IT-identitet kan uppleva osäkerhet och marginalisering vid snabb digital utveckling. Införandet av nya digitala verktyg påverkar autonomi och kompetensutveckling, där både möjligheter och utmaningar uppstår.  Sammanfattningsvis visar studien att den digitala arbetsplatsen och digitalt arbete kan stärka professionell identitet och främja yrkesmässig utveckling, men även skapa osäkerhet och förändrade arbetsuppgifter som upplevs som begränsande eller mindre meningsfulla. Dessa insikter fördjupar förståelsen av hur digitala verktyg omformar arbetslivet och medarbetares upplevelser i den digitala arbetsplatsen. Digital tools are playing an increasingly significant role in individuals' professional lives. This study examines how the digitalization of workplaces and work processes affects professionals, their ITidentity, and role perception within an IT-dependent work system. Through a sociotechnical perspective and theories on IT-identity, third-order effects, and social actors, the study analyzes how digital work and the digital workplace shape the experience of work and professional identity. The study contributes with an employee perspective and examines how digitalization influences professional roles and identity.  The purpose is to understand how the digitalization of workplaces affects individuals' professional roles and identities, as well as the factors driving these changes. The study is based on a qualitative method in which six in-depth interviews were conducted with professionals from two industries, selected through the gatekeeper method. The respondents have at least ten years of professional experience and varying attitudes towards digitalization.  The analysis shows that digitalization can strengthen professional identity among individuals with a strong IT-identity, while those with a weaker IT-identity may experience uncertainty and marginalization in the face of rapid digital development. The introduction of new digital tools affects autonomy and skills development, presenting both opportunities and challenges.  In conclusion, the study shows that the digital workplace and digital work can strengthen professional identity and contribute to career development but may also lead to uncertainty and changes in job tasks that are perceived as limiting or less meaningful. These insights deepen the understanding of how digital tools reshape working life and employees' experiences in the digital workplace.

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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
