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
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
Changing Landscapes but Ingrained Power Relations? The Green Promise of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the (Un)sustainability of the Fashion Industry, and the Central-Eastern European Production Background

Az előadások mellett kerekasztal-beszélgetések, gyárlátogatás és egy kiállítás is színesítették a programot, ami során a szervezők által összeállított Győr Textilipara Napjainkig című kiadványt is bemutatták
Central and Eastern Europe: An Invisible Sewing Shop
No full textDeveloped countries started to outsource labour-intensive production processes to lower-cost countries decades ago such as the ones belonging to Central Eastern Europe, where subcontracting became significant from the 1950s. During the past few years, tendencies of relocation came to the fore and received a fresh boost because of the economic situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The growing need for shorter supply chains creates a noteworthy situation in the region’s fashion industry. But we have to make a difference between the ‘headquarter’ country of the brand and the actual country of origin: even if luxury products are made here, the relations in production remain hidden
A társadalmi feljebb lépés koncepció operacionalizálása : Javult vagy romlott a hazai ruházati iparban dolgozók helyzete?
No full textA nemzetközi termelés és kereskedelem szerveződését vizsgáló globális értékláncok-kutatásokban hangsúlyosan csak a 2010-es évektől jelentek meg a fenntarthatóság dimenziói, így a környezeti és társadalmi aspektus.
A leginkább a munkavállalók helyzetét, körülményeit leíró, dinamikusan változó, komplex társadalmi feljebb lépés koncepciót a magyarországi ruházati iparban dolgozók kontextusában vizsgáltam, korábban készített, szakértői interjúk segítségével, hogy választ kapjak arra a
kérdésre: vajon javult, vagy romlott a munkavállalók
helyzete, tehát társadalmi feljebb, vagy visszalépésnek
lehetünk szemtanúi? Továbbá adatbázisokkal egészítettem ki ezt a módszertant, hogy árnyaljam a társadalmi
feljebb lépés szakértői vizsgálatát, és a koncepció operacionalizálását
