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
Planning for an Aging Workforce
No full textAn aged and ageing workforce has become a reality for the human resource (HR) professional in developed countries globally. Within the public sector, managing ageing human resources is made more complex by the myriad of legislative and policy guidelines that influence employment-related policies and practices, as well as a tradition of security of tenure. The complexity of the public service human resource environment has been further exacerbated by new public management which has decentralised and devolved HR functions to individual agencies (Coventry, 2001). While the decentralisation of HR to agencies has enabled agency HR departments to devise policies that meet the specific human resource needs of the agency, it has also resulted in a loss of centralised understanding of the composition of the workforce as a whole.\ud
This research project set out to examine the issues associated with an ageing workforce within a case study of an Australian state public service. The research highlighted a number of factors that limited an agency level HR manager’s capacity to deal with their ageing workforces, and it is these factors that are the focus of this paper. These factors include the lack of an integrated human resource information system (HRIS), the nature of the information collected within the HRIS, and the capacity of HR professionals within the agencies to obtain and analyse the data obtained from the HRIS. We argue that agency level HR professionals need a comprehensive whole of service human resource information system, and the skills to use and analyse the data derived from it to better inform their workforce planning

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
