Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Biedt volwasseneneducatie een antwoord op de digitalisering?
No full textGesteld wordt dat tot 15% van de bevolking tussen 25 en 64 jaar best deelneemt aan volwasseneneducatie. Met 11,3% in EU-28 in 2019 liggen we veraf van het bereiken van deze doelstelling in 2020. In dit artikel wordt aangetoond dat deelname aan volwasseneneducatie nauw samenhangt met de (creatie van) werkgelegenheid in bepaalde beroepsgroepen, in casu, ICT-professionals, die onder invloed van de digitalisering, prominenter nodig zijn op de regionale arbeidsmarkt.status: Published onlin

Do Nurses React to Inter-Industry Wage Differentials? – Evidence from Nursing Graduates in the Netherlands.
No full textThis paper explores the extent to which inter-industry wage differentials can explain the decision of nursing graduates to quit the life sciences and health industry (LSH). Using the theoretical framework of Lazaer (2009), it is predicted that nurses drop-out of LSH in case their weighted general skills pay-off more in foreign industries than seniority in LSH. It is also predicted that industries demanding rigorous specific skills are prone to skill shortages. The empirical strategy benefits from data of the Dutch higher vocational school leaving monitor on abilities necessary to perform in the job. Owing to iterative one-to-one matching, we make 2003 to 2011 graduates homogenous with respect to their general skills. The results are in line with the predictions: nurses, who leave LSH, can earn significantly higher wages of about 2 percent. This estimate is particularly driven by female nurses and vertical industry mobility

No full textDe Belgische gezondheidszorg is de op drie na beste van Europa. Levenslang leren kan het kwaliteitsvolle zorgaanbod op peil houden. Cijfers van de Enquête naar de arbeidskrachten tonen echter aan dat levenslang leren in België onvoldoende wordt benut. De situatie wordt beschreven aan de hand van drie bepalende factoren van levenslang leren: aantrekkelijkheid, toegankelijkheid en effectiviteit.status: Publishe
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
