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
Organizational Culture Values and Employee Effectiveness: Elaborate the Difference Scores Fit Indices
No full text過去在測量組織文化與員工個人價值觀的契合時，所使用的差距契合度指標往往僅考慮到有關差距大小的影響，並未將造成差距的成因，以及員工對於價值觀的重視程度納入考量。因此本研究將試圖以絕對差和指標為基礎，進一步的區分出雙方重視型契合、雙方不重視型契合、員工重視型不契合、組織重視型不契合此四種契合度指標，並以工作滿意度、離職意願、情感性承諾、工具性承諾，以及組織公民行為當成效標變項，來分析出上述四項契合度指標，是否會在這些效標變項上產生不同的效果。並從上述的結果之中，瞭解到差距的成因，以及員工對於價值觀的重視程度，是否會對價值觀契合度的效果造成影響。研究結果顯示，雙方重視型契合與工作滿意度、離職意願、情感性承諾，以及工具性承諾四項效標變項的相關，明顯的高於雙方不重視型契合與此四項效標變項的相關；而在組織公民行為方面，兩項指標分屬不同向的相關。員工重視型不契合與工作滿意度、離職意願、情感性承諾，以及工具性承諾四項效標變項的相關，亦明顯的高於組織重視型不契合與此兩項效標變項的相關；而在組織公民行為方面，則是組織重視型不契合有著較強的相關。此外，當排除絕對差和指標的影響力之後，雙方重視型契合、雙方不重視型契合，以及員工重視型不契合、組織重視型不契合兩組指標仍會有其獨特的解釋力。由上述的研究結果可知，差距的成因以及員工對於價值觀的重視程度，的確會對價值觀契合度的效果造成影響。Traditionally, we used to access difference scores fit indices to measure the fitness of organizational culture value and employee’s personal value. However, this type of fit index only concern about the extent of value differences, the cause of the differences and employee’s emphasis of values are neglect. One primary purpose of this study is to reconstruct traditional difference scores fit indices in order to highlight the significance of cause differences and employee’s emphasis of values. Four kinds of fit indices including P-O fit (ratio of values which employee and organization both are highly emphasizing), p-o fit (ratio of values which employee and organization both are lowly emphasizing), P-o unfit (ratio of values which employee are more emphasizing than organization), and p-O unfit (ratio of values which organization are more emphasizing than employee), was developed based on absolute difference index. This study also includes five employee outcome variables for clarifying the utility of the newly developed fit indices including job satisfaction, turnover intention, affective commitment, continuance commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior. The main findings of the study indicated that the association between P-O fit and job satisfaction, turnover intention, affective commitment, and continuance commitment is significantly stronger than the association between p-o fit and those outcome variables; and the correlation of these two fit indices with organizational citizenship behavior is contrariwise. The association between P-o unfit and job satisfaction, turnover intention, affective commitment, and continuance commitment is also significantly stronger than p-O unfit with those criterion variables; but the correlation of p-O unfit with organizational citizenship behavior is significantly stronger than P-o unfit. Furthermore, when we control the effect of absolute difference index, two pairs of fit indices including P-O fit, p-o fit, and P-o unfit, p-O unfit still has significant effect. The result suggests that the cause of differences and employee’s emphasis of values will affect the effect of value fit.目次

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
The key to successful carbon capture and storage: engaging the public
No full textThis book is written during the LRET Summer Collegium 2011 held in the University of Southampton. In recognition to the need to reduced CO2 emission from coal or fuel fired power plant, research project on an engineering system for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in ocean space utilisation is proposed in the collegium. This book is written to address the engineering challenges in our proposed CCS engineering system. It is recognised that the public perception is the main key to successful CCS project and an engineering system that involves public engagement in the CCS project in the early stage is proposed. The proposed project is known as the “Green Town” where it comprises of an air scrubbing towers that has the ability to capture CO2 from the air. The selected site for the case study would then be free of anthropogenic CO2. The captured CO2 will then be transported by pipelines and stored in depleted oil/gas field for a geological time scale. Hamburg in Germany is selected as the case study city since it is a port city and is close to available geological formations for CO2 storage. The K12-B gas field has also been identified as the proposed sequestration site. The CO2 pipelines will tie-in to existing gas pipelines when they are no longer in use in the near future and the CO2 injection system for the CO2 will be retrofitted to gas platform when the gas field is no longer in use. The cost, risk and legal issues for the proposed “Green Town” idea are also addressed as well. This project also designed and conducted specific surveys in Southampton and Hamburg to investigate the public perception towards the “Green Town” idea and CCS. Unique findings are found and presented in this book. This book makes an important contribution in addressing the need to engage the public at the early stage of the CCS project. The designed surveys successfully proved that the proposed “Green Town” idea could act as an effective ‘door opener’ to future CCS project. We hope that this book would be useful to engineers and scientists working on the areas of CCS and are looking forward to share our views on the unique findings about the public’s perception of CCS
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
