    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

    Regional omstilling og organisk vekst i mulige vekstnæringer

    I september og oktober 2016 ble det gjennomført en elektronisk/telefonisk survey til næringsvirkomheter - utenom husholdningsrettet tjenesteyting og varehandel - lokalisert i Rogaland + Sirdal. Virksomhetene ble først kontaktet via e-mail, med to purringer. Så ble alle virksomhetene som ikke hadde svart, kontaktet via telefon. Surveyen ga svar fra til sammen 204 virksomheter lokalisert i Rogaland + Sirdal. Disse virksomhetene representerer rundt 28 000 ansatte lokalt. Det har blitt gjennomført 8 gruppesamtaler med fokus på muligheter i de respektive næringer/marked. Deltagerne var ledere i sentrale bedrifter i de aktuelle næringene og andre ressurspersoner. Det har også vært gjennomført dokumentstudier.Greater Stavange

    Recycling petroleum related knowledge and resources: A case study of channels for knowledge transition and diversification in South West Norway

    Full text link
    Gradual diversification of the Norwegian petroleum economy is an important concern for both the Norwegian government and the petroleum industry itself. This paper analyzes the on-going industrial diversification as two separate but interdependent phases depending on the ownership of knowledge and resources: Knowledge transition of publicly available petroleum related knowledge and diversification of privately held petroleum related knowledge and resources. The purpose of the paper is to provide a conceptual model of specific channels for knowledge transition and diversification of petroleum related knowledge and resources. To gain insights in potential channels we use data from a seminar series on opportunities in hydrogen and offshore wind organized by the industry cluster Norwegian Energy Solutions located in petroleum-dependent South West Norway. We use the findings on specific channels to provide policy lessons regarding economic diversification

    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

    Lønnsom eksportvirksomhet med komplekse, kontinuerlig høye innkjøp med aktivt innovasjonssamarbeid og høyt nasjonalt innhold

    Målet med denne artikkelen er å identifisere karakteristika ved norskbasert petroleumsvirksomhet som kan forklare denne virksomhetens sterke spillovereffekter på norsk økonomi. Ut fra litteraturen utledes seks forhold som kan påvirke grad av spillovereffekter og tilgjengelig historisk næringsstatistikk brukes til å definere indikatorer for disse forholdene. Norskbasert petroleumsvirksomhet sammenlignes så med øvrige norske næringer gjennom figurbetraktninger. Vi viser at petroleumsvirksomheten skårer høyere enn alle andre næringer på alle de seks indikatorene. Dette viser at norskbasert petroleumsvirksomhet kan karakteriseres som en lønnsom eksportnæring med komplekse, kontinuerlig høye innkjøp med aktivt innovasjonssamarbeid og høyt nasjonalt innhold. Resultatene har relevans for debatten om hvordan en kan kombinere grønt skifte og nasjonal verdiskaping og vi bruker resultatene til å drøfte mulige framtidsnæringer og hvordan best legge til rette for disse

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
