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’intention entrepreneuriale des jeunes diplômés
No full textRésuméCette recherche vise à étudier non seulement l’intention de créer une entreprise, mais aussi les attitudes envers la création d’une entreprise et les perceptions des normes sociales et leur impact sur la capacité à mener un processus entrepreneurial.Pour ce faire, nous menons une étude sur 49 diplômés de l’École Supérieure de Commerce de Sfax. Nos résultats révèlent l’importance des attitudes associées au comportement dans l’intention entrepreneuriale. La culture entrepreneuriale joue un rôle très important. Que peut-être alors l’impact des normes sociales sur l’intention entrepreneuriale ? Dans nos résultats, nous avons trouvé que seule l’influence des intentions des condisciples est significative. Les contraintes financières, les informations pouvant être transmises ainsi que la formation en création d’entreprise, en d’autres termes tout ce qui se rapporte aux perceptions du contrôle comportemental, ont un effet non significatif sur l’intention. Dans ce sens pouvons-nous affirmer que la formation entrepreneuriale suivie par l’étudiant pourrait s’ajouter à sa réalité sociale et, de fait, influer sur le choix de la profession future de l’étudiant, tant que cette formation peut s’intégrer dans de nouveaux modèles, de nouvelles attitudes qui sont de nature à modifier le comportement des individus ?AbstractThis research aims to study not only intend to start a business, but also attitudes toward starting a business and perceptions of social norms and their impact on the ability to lead an entrepreneurial process. To do this, we conduct a survey of 49 graduates of the Ecole Superieure de Commerce de Sfax. Our results show the importance of attitudes associated with entrepreneurial behavior intention. Entrepreneurial culture plays a very important role.May be then the impact of social norms on entrepreneurial intention? In our results, we found that only the influence of the intentions of peers is significant. Financial constraints, the information can be transmitted as well as training in entrepreneurship, in other words everything that relates to perceptions of behavioral control, have an insignificant effect on the intention.In this sense, we can say that the entrepreneurial training followed by the student could be added to the social reality and, in fact, influence the choice of future profession of the student, as this training can be integrated in new models, new attitudes that are likely to change people's behavior
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

The role of ethical standards in technological innovation
Full text linkThis research focuses on the complex relationship between organizational ethics and technological innovation, a highly relevant topic in a context marked by accelerated digitalization and increasing demands for social responsibility. The interest of this study lies in understanding how ethical dimensions, often perceived as constraints, can instead become levers for sustainable innovation. To address this issue, a quantitative approach based on structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) was used to analyze the influence of ethical obstacles and ethical norms on technological innovation. The data, collected from a sample of organizational stakeholders, allowed for the validation of the reliability and consistency of the measures through various statistical tests. The results reveal that ethical obstacles have a negative and significant effect on innovation, while ethical norms have a very strong positive effect. These conclusions suggest that ethics, when institutionalized in the form of clear and shared principles, becomes a driver of responsible innovation and sustainable performance, while ethics perceived as overly restrictive can hinder creativity and risk-taking
