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

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
Sustainability and sales growth in major international construction companies
No full textUppsatsens titel: Hållbarhetsarbete och försäljningstillväxt i stora internationella byggföretag Slutseminariedatum: 2016-05-31 Ämne/Kurs: Kandidatuppsats, 15 poäng Författare: Aspeflo, Amanda; Chan, Helen Examinator: Gabrielsson, Jonas Handledare: Sahlgren, Kent Nyckelord: CSR, försäljningstillväxt, hållbarhet, byggföretag, Uppförandekod Problemdiskussion: Studier på stora internationella svenska byggföretags satsningar på CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) och dess påverkan på företagens försäljningstillväxt har gjorts i mindre utsträckning. Det är dock många företag som numer beskriver deras satsningar inom CSR, men tidigare forskning finns inte kring hur dessa rapporter kan leda till exempelvis ökad försäljningstillväxt. Problemformulering: Hur ser stora internationella svenska byggföretags hållbarhetsarbete ut och leder det till ökad försäljningstillväxt? Syfte/Beskrivning: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva och förklara hur hållbarhetsarbetet ser ut inom stora internationella svenska byggföretag som även verkar utanför Nordens gränser, för att vidare se om det leder till ökad försäljningstillväxt. Metod: För att uppnå syftet har uppsatsen antagit en deduktiv ansats med ett kvalitativt förhållningssätt. Den empiriska data som samlats är i huvudsak från telefonintervjuer med företag, men även genom dokumentstudier av företagens årsredovisningar och rapporter. Slutsatser: Uppsatsen har kommit fram till att stora internationella svenska byggföretag som verkar utanför Nordens gränser tydligt följer den teoretiska utformningen med de tre teoretiska fokusområdena; ekonomisk, social och miljömässig hållbarhet. Dessa satsningar har enligt vår analys gjort att företagen kunnat växa i den takt de gjort. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: En intressant infallsvinkel kan vara att fokusera på den kritik som finns mot CSR och utifrån detta undersöka om CSR verkligen är bra för företag att arbeta utifrån eller om det endast är en marknadsföringsstrategi. Title of the thesis: Sustainability and sales growth in major international construction companies. Date of final seminar: 2016-05-31 Subject/Course: Bachelor Thesis, 15 points Authors: Aspeflo, Amanda; Chan, Helen Examiner: Gabrielsson, Jonas Supervisor: Sahlgren, Kent Keywords: CSR, sales growth, sustainability, construction companies, Code of Conduct Problem description: Studies in major international Swedish construction company's investments in CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and its impact on companies' sales growth has been made to a minor extent. However, many companies nowadays are describing their investments in CSR, but previous research has not processed how these reports can lead to, for example, increased sales growth. This leads to the research question that this paper wants to give an answer to. Research question: How does major international Swedish construction companies work in sustainability look like and does it leads to increased sales growth? Objective/Description: The objectives of this study is to describe and explain how sustainability looks like in major international Swedish construction companies operating outside the Nordic Countries, to further see if it leads to increased sales growth. The study will answer if CSR and sustainability in itself can be a factor in companies’ sales growth. Method: In order to achieve the purpose this thesis has adopted a deductive onset with a qualitative approach. The empirical data has been collected mainly from telephone interviews with companies, but also through document studies of companies’ financial statements and reports. Conclusion: This thesis has concluded that large international Swedish construction companies operating outside the Nordic Countries clearly follows the theoretical design with three focus areas; economic, social and environmental sustainability. These efforts have, according to our analysis meant that companies have been able to grow at the rate they did. Suggestions for future research: An interesting approach might be to focus on the criticisms against CSR and from this determine if CSR really is good for business or if it’s only a marketing strategy.
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
