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
Bemötande som en del av att sätta kunden i centrum : En studie av svenska myndigheters arbete med bemötande i uppdraget att förenkla för företag
No full textEtt antal myndigheter i Sverige har de senaste åren haft i uppgift av regeringen att förbättra bemötande och service som en del av uppdraget att förenkla för företag. Syftet med denna studie har varit att öka kunskapen om hur myndigheter arbetat med att utveckla sitt bemötande gentemot företag. Utgångspunkten har varit att bemötande är en del i att sätta kunden i centrum och att ha ett kundfokus inom en organisation. Bemötande ses även som en viktig aspekt avseende graden av förtroende som medborgare känner för en myndighet. Följande två forskningsfrågor har varit styrande för studien: • Hur har berörda myndigheter, inom ramen för uppdraget förenkla för företag, hittills arbetat med bemötandefrågor för att nå ökad kundfokusering? • Vilka goda exempel finns avseende arbetet med bemötandefrågor utifrån uppdraget att förenkla för företag? Studien genomfördes genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av nio myndigheters årsredovisningar och rapporteringar till regeringen och Tillväxtverket för åren 2022–2024. De nio myndigheterna valdes ut eftersom de haft uppdraget under längst tid. Studien visade på fjorton typer av insatser som berörda myndigheter arbetat med inom uppdraget att förenkla för företag och som kan kopplas till bemötande. Samtliga myndigheter har genomfört kundundersökningar via enkät och flera av myndigheterna har även arbetat med kunddialoger samt använt sig av kundresor och tjänstedesign för att ta reda på kundernas behov och förväntningar. Flera myndigheter har även formulerat mål kopplat till bemötande och mer än hälften angav ett ökat fokus på bemötandefrågor hos ledningen. Exempel på andra insatser som framkom var utbildningar inom bemötande till anställda samt konferenser och workshops med fokus på bemötande. Två myndigheter som, utifrån redovisningen till regeringen och Tillväxtverket, i sammanhang kan lyftas fram som goda exempel vad gäller arbetet med bemötande är Jordbruksverket och Försäkringskassan.In recent years, several government agencies in Sweden have been assigned by the government to improve customer service and interactions as part of the mission to simplify processes for businesses. The purpose of this study has been to increase knowledge about how authorities have worked to develop their interactions with businesses. The starting point has been that customer interaction is a key element in putting the customer at the center and maintaining a customer-focused approach within an organization. Interaction is also considered an important aspect in determining the level of trust that citizens have in a government agency. The following two research questions have guided this study: • How have the relevant government agencies, within the framework of the mission to simplify processes for businesses, so far worked with interaction-related issues to achieve greater customer focus? • What are some good examples of efforts in interaction-related work within the mission to simplify processes for businesses? The study was conducted through a qualitative content analysis of nine government agencies' annual reports and submissions to the government for the years 2022–2024. These nine agencies were selected as they have had the assignment for the longest period. The study identified fourteen types of efforts undertaken by the relevant agencies within the mission to simplify processes for businesses, which are linked to customer interaction. All agencies had conducted customer surveys via questionnaires, and several had also engaged in customer dialogues, utilized customer journey mapping, and service design to understand customer needs and expectations. Several agencies had also formulated goals related to customer interaction, and more than half reported an increased focus on interaction-related issues at the leadership level. Other initiatives identified included training programs on interaction for employees, as well as conferences and workshops focusing on customer interactions. Two agencies that, based on their reporting to the government and Tillväxtverket, can be highlighted as good examples of customer interaction efforts are Jordbruksverket and Försäkringskassan
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
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
