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
Guests’ Perceptions And Hotels’ Approaches As To CSR In The Hotel Industry: A Comparative Study Between Tunisia And Hungary
Get PDFIwaniec et al. (2020) note the challenge of promoting environmental behavior among visitors, particularly the younger generation, in today's changing ecological, social, and economic climate. This challenge is crucial not just for sustainable tourism but for society as a whole. The increasing number of environmentally aware travelers has led to pressure on hotel operators to adopt sustainable practices. To develop effective sustainability programs, it is vital to understand what hotel guests prefer. Therefore, the goal of this thesis is to examine CSR strategies in the hotel industry and identify a set of attributes that suit both generation Z guests and hotels' perspectives. By finding common points, the study aims to contribute to successful sustainability programs in the hotel industry.. Based on this, the main research question of my study is:
What attributes should a CSR strategy contain based on hotels' approaches and guests' perceptions?
To answer the research question, the phenomenon of sustainable hotels should be analyzed from different aspects. Qualitative research methods are applied in the dissertation: systematic literature research, netnography, Q method and in-depth interviews. These methods were applied in both Tunisia and Hungary in a socio-cultural comparative study. The main scientific contributions of my dissertation are the following:
(1) Identifying CSR attributes by studying hotels’ approaches as well as guests’ perceptions of CSR. This research adds to the existing literature on sustainability in the hospitality industry by exploring guests' perceptions and identifying key attributes for a successful CSR strategy that aligns with both hotel approaches and guest preferences.
(2) Identifying the CSR attributes that hotels use in both their strategic and operative level. The study categorized CSR related information into eight categories, and recent articles led to a recategorization into four main categories. Tunisian and Hungarian hotels' websites mentioned social and economic categories consistently but had less consistent mentions of environmental categories, and safety was not mentioned on all websites. The social media and marketing attribute from the economic category was mentioned on all websites.
(3) Identifying the CSR aspects of visited hotels that guests refer to in their reviews and comments. The study found that Tunisian and Hungarian hotels received mostly positive feedback on their CSR practices, with local environment, employee attitude, and environmental responsibility being key areas of focus, and suggests that educating guests on sustainable practices could further improve hotels' CSR strategies.
(4) Identifying the CSR attributes preferred by hotel managers and those preferred by guests. Tunisian hotel managers face challenges in implementing sustainable practices effectively, while Hungarian hotel managers are highly committed to sustainability and CSR. Both groups agree on the importance of sustainability and focus on energy consumption reduction and proper waste management, with a focus on educating employees or supporting local communities, respectively.
(5) Identifying if there are any differences between hotel managers / guests based on socio-cultural backgrounds. Tunisian and Hungarian hotel managers are committed to sustainability, but Tunisian managers face implementation challenges due to a lack of means and government support, while Hungarian guests are more knowledgeable, and both Tunisian and Hungarian guests from generation Z prioritize comfort despite awareness of CSR importance
Enseigner l’entrepreneuriat responsable par la pratique : Alterner la réflexion et l’action
Get PDFPlacé dans un contexte où les problèmes écologiques pèsent lourd sur la planète, l’impératif d’un développement durable impose la considération conjointe dans l’étude de l’entrepreneuriat de la dimension économique, sociale et écologique en cherchant à l’incarner dans l’esprit des individus et non seulement à la transposer au niveau des organisations. Ainsi, cette réflexion devra précéder et accompagner l’acte entrepris. Il s’agit donc de développer l’entrepreneuriat responsable. Or, l’entrepreneuriat responsable suppose d’alterner la réflexion et l’action dans un processus d’influence mutuelle. Et quand il est pratiqué, l’adoption d’un tel comportement devient facile. Cette initiative est un partage d’expérience de l’enseignement de l’entrepreneuriat par l’action à des étudiants de la deuxième année Management de la faculté des sciences économiques et de gestion de Tunis. Cette expérience s’inscrit ainsi dans un essai de construire une démarche d’enseigner l’entrepreneuriat responsable basée sur la pratique en alternant la réflexion et l’action dans le processus d’apprentissage. Elle cherche à alimenter la montée en compétence de la responsabilité des étudiants par la réalisation de projets
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
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
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
