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
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
Emerging trends in entrepreneurial finance
Full text linkThe emergence of new sources of financing in the aftermath of the financial crisis has
substantially increased the funding options available to new entrepreneurial ventures.
Technology parks, startup incubators and accelerators, business angels and angel investment
organizations, equity crowdfunding platforms, venture capital funds, corporate
seed funds and institutional investors directly investing in new ventures, have significantly
increased the menu of funding channels, in many cases by leveraging the
disrupting effects of Fintech companies and the emergence of internet-based segments
of the capital market. As a consequence, a new financing eco-system for new ventures
has emerged in recent years that has significant implications for both investors and
entrepreneurs, impacting on entrepreneurial growth paths and creating new policy
challenges at both the national and global scales. The substantially larger set of funding
channels has not only been instrumental in the unprecedented growth in the number of
early stage companies but has also raised new questions that have challenged scholars
and practitioners and policymakers alike. Idiosyncratic risk-return profiles and investment
philosophies, unorthodox investment practices, innovative value-adding contributions
to portfolio companies ventures and structurally different exit options are some of
the areas that require urgent investigation.
The first “Emerging Trends in Entrepreneurial Finance” Conference, 1–2 June 2017 organized
by the Stevens School of Business, the University of Piemonte Orientale and the Editors
of Venture Capital: an International Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance at the Stevens Institute of
Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA) with the sponsorship of Hanlon Financial Systems Center and
the Stevens Venture Center, aimed at gathering world-class scholars in the field of entrepreneurial
finance to stimulate a debate on the evolution of the financing ecosystem for new
ventures. From the close to 75 submissions, of which 16 were accepted for presentation. the
Guest Editors of this special Issue have selected six outstanding papers that address crucial
topics and recent developments
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

Full text linkWe 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
