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
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
Antecedents of extra-role customer service behaviour: polychronicity as a moderator
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to develop and test a research model that investigates the effects of nepotism (NEPO) and work–family conflict (WFC) as antecedents of extra-role customer service behaviours (ECSBs), as well as a potential moderating role of polychronicity (POLY) in a service setting in North Cyprus. Total 298 questionnaires were gathered from a sample of full-time frontline hotel employees. Results based on hierarchical regression analysis reveal that NEPO and WFC exerted a significant negative effect on ECSBs. Results also demonstrate that POLY buffers the impact of NEPO and WFC on ECSBs.By adding an untested relationship in its conceptual model, the current study lends further contribution to hospitality management literature and provides useful guidelines to practitioners as well

Data for this empirical investigation were gathered from a sample of hospitality SMEs. Respondents self-administered the questionnaires. A total number of 100 questionnaires were obtained in the research location. Results based on the descriptive statistics by SPSS version 21 reveal that the hospitality SMEs in Ipoh/Malaysia have favourable perceptions related to economic factor items. On the other hand, they have challenges related to legal and administrative factor items.

Liderlik Stillerinin Müşterilerle Yüz Yüze İrtibatlı Çalışanların Algılanan Etiksel İklim, Çok Yönlü İş Yapabilirlik ve Hataları Düzeltme Performansları Üzerindeki Rolü: Müşteri Servis Gelişimi Açısından Bir Değerlendirilme
No full textBu ampirik çalışmanın amacı Malezya hizmet sektörü alanında dönüştürücü ve etkileşimci liderlik stilleri ile yüz yüze irtabatlı çalışanların algılanan etiksel iklim, çok yönlü iş yapabilirlik ve hataları düzeltme performansları arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Örneklem olarak ön büro otel çalışanlarından toplam 249 adet anket toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın hipotezleri PLS-SEM yol analizleri yöntemi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Yol analizlerine göre, etkileşimci liderlik tipinin çalışanların algılanan etiksel iklim ve hataları düzeltme performansları üzerinde daha çok anlamlı pozitif bir etki yaptığı bulunmuştur. Çalışma hipotezine uyumsuz olarak dönüştürücü liderlik tipinin hataları düzeltme performansı üzerinde bir etkisi olmadığı bulunmuştur. Teorik olarak bu çalışma daha önce çalışılmamış etki ve ilişkileri araştırması hasebiyle servis yönetimi literatürüne ek bir katkı sunmaktadırThis empirical study aims to investigate the influence of leadership styles (transformational and transactional) on frontline employees' (FLEs) perceived ethical climate, polychronicity, and service recovery performance in a service work setting in Malaysia. A total number of 249 questionnaires were gathered from a sample of full-time frontline hotel employees. The hypothesized relationships were tested using PLS-SEM Path analysis. Results based on the path analysis reveal that transactional leadership had more significant positive impact on ethical climate and service recovery performance. On the other hand, transformational leadership had more significant positive effect on FLEs' polychronicity. As inconsistent with the study hypothesis, transformational leadership had no significant effect on FLEs' service recovery performance. Theoretically, the current study by examining the untried effects and relationships such as the effect of leadership styles on polychronicity lends further contribution to the service management literature
