The role of digitalization in startups: A keyword-based literature review
No full textThe present study investigates the role of digitalization in the growth and success of startups. Using a keyword-based literature analysis methodology, this research identifies and classifies concepts through the use of the dimensions of persistence and frequency. The main concepts located in the first quadrant include Industry 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and digital platforms, which are crucial for the growth and competitiveness of startups. Trendy concepts in the fourth quadrant highlight the impact of COVID-19 on digital startups, emphasizing their adaptability and resilience. Intermittent concepts in the second quadrant address the discontinuous but relevant use of digital technologies, while emerging concepts in the third quadrant focus on strategic data management and innovation. The results of the study offer a comprehensive view of the role of digital technologies in shaping the business models of startups, providing valuable insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and researchers to foster the digital startup ecosystem
Employing innovation for social sustainability in supply chains: A systematic literature review
No full textThis paper explores the role of innovation in advancing social sustainability within supply chains, a relatively under-researched area. By conducting a systematic literature review of 28 articles, the study analyzes how innovation reshapes supply chain dynamics and promotes sustainable practices. The review highlights key trends across time and geography, emphasizing the global importance of integrating social value into supply chains. Findings reveal the important role of stakeholder engagement and institutional support in fostering socially responsible supply chain practices. Furthermore, the paper discusses how innovation drives social value creation, providing actionable insights for both research and practice. The study advocates for the integration of sustainability principles into supply chain operations, offering practical implications for academia, industry, and policymakers. By embedding social sustainability in business processes, supply chains can better address contemporary challenges and contribute to broader societal and environmental goals
Artificial intelligence in consumer preferences: Implications for health and well-being
No full textThe article explores how AI influences consumer behavior and wellbeing, addressing both the opportunities and challenges posed by AI technologies. It acknowledges the exponential growth of AI capabilities facilitated by advancements in computing power, IoT, and big data, which have revolutionized industries such as manufacturing and services. This evolution underscores the necessity for understanding AI's impacts on consumer experiences, ethical dimensions, and societal implications. The research's timely focus on AI's role in enhancing or hindering consumer health and wellbeing directly responds to current economic contexts shaped by technological advancements
Exploring the evolution of Industry 4.0 research: A bibliometric perspective
No full textIn this paper, the evolution of research activities targeting Industry 4.0 has been extensively studied through a set of bibliometric analyses, leveraging a wide sample of journal papers retrieved from the Scopus database using the single search term "Industry 4.0". This query yielded over 12,000 research and review papers published up to 2023. Using this sample, the study employs robust bibliometric techniques to analyze trends of research over time, citation patterns, and thematic evolution within the field of Industry 4.0. By synthesizing findings from this extensive literature corpus, the paper provides insights into the trajectory and impact of Industry 4.0 research, highlighting key advancements, research hotspots, and emerging areas of interest. Results show that research in the area of Industry 4.0 is wide and variegated. Besides highly debated and well-known scientific topics, numerous complementary, less debated or emerging topics can be identified, highlighting the expansion of the research field beyond the traditional boundaries of Industry 4.0. Sustainability-related aspects, in particular, have emerged as important topics frequently associated to Industry 4.0 themes. The set of considerations derived from the bibliometric analyses also allows deriving some preliminary conclusions about the maturity level of the research on Industry 4.0. This bibliometric study thus contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolution of Industry 4.0 and paves the way to future research directions in this field
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
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
