The Weaksley Paint Company
No full textIn his first appointment as a member of the Expertise Consultant Co. Inc., Donald Peterson was assigned to the Weaksley Paint Company located in Omaha, Nebraska. The young man, an ambitious fellow who had just earned his M.B.A. from Creighton University, noted with interest the preliminary inquiry forms his client had recently filled out and returned to Expertise. The form was merely an introductory fact sheet, the highlights of which are shown on the next page.
Mr. Peterson quickly arranged for the initial meeting with his client and carefully prepared his interview format for the meeting. He was well aware that first impressions were important in the consulting business.
On his drive to his first meeting with the owner of the company, Mr. Peterson was careful to note the location and surroundings of Weaksley Paint Company. The firm was situated on the North Side of Omaha, roughly two miles from the downtown area and in the midst of a rapidly-changing neighborhood. This area was once the scene of lower-income housing and now was subject to a fair amount of renovation» Many of the old warehouses were very much in use. On the other hand, N. 1,9th St. had lost many shopowners from the district.
Mr. Peterson was impressed with his first scruitiny of Weaksley. What initially impressed him the most was the extremely neat and orderly warehousing facilities below the main structure and the efficiently laid-out customer area with rows of paints to one side, painting equipment to the other, with the tile and carpet section in back with the office.
Equipped with a taperecorder at that first interview, Mr, Peterson obtained the following history of Weaksley Paint Co., the interview was obtained from Mr. Kevin O'Brien the fifty-eight year-old owner who spoke proudly yet guardedly about his enterprise.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
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
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
