Behavioural Insights in Consultation Design: A Dialogical Architecture
No full textIn this paper, we examine consultation procedures in the light of behavioural sciences. Wefeature consultation as a dialogue between the administration and the participants in the formof a public good game with one or more tournaments. Our focus is on the architecture of thedialogue and its design. We propose three models characterised by the varying degrees of theinteraction among participants, and between participants and the administration, occurringduring the consultation process. We suggest that mapping stakeholders according tohomogeneity of interest influences the structure and affects the dialogue taking place duringthe consultation process. We then examine the levels of efforts parties would engage in,defining models that maximise efforts and adjust for different cognitive stakeholders’capabilities, advocating an empirical approach. The paper concludes with policyrecommendations on how to improve the current consultation design deployed at EU andnational level

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
