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
The Grief-Work Interface: How Employees Navigate Grief and Work Following the Loss of a Loved One
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2022In the United States, employees receive an average of four days of bereavement leave following the death of a family member. With the limited time-off available, employees are likely to still be grieving when they return to work. Grief research, however, has largely been limited to the clinical and social psychological sciences, thus leaving unaccounted for work-related considerations of the grief experience. In this research, I examine what the grief-work experience entails and how it impacts bereaved employees. Using a mixed-methods approach, I first conducted 31 interviews (inductive Study 1) to understand the bereaved employee experience. Based on these insights, I developed a theoretical model delineating the positive and negative impact that work experiences have on the bereaved employee. Then, I conducted a three-wave field study (deductive Study 2) with a broader sample of 500 recently bereaved employees to test this theoretical model. Across both studies, I find that work experiences may be helpful (grief diversion, experienced compassion) or harmful (grief intrusion, experienced callousness), and have the potential to replenish or exacerbate positive states (sense of normalcy, purpose, connection) that facilitate employees’ work performance and minimize employees’ psychological distress. In sum, this dissertation sheds light on the nuances of the bereaved employee experience and offers practical insights on how organizations and leaders might best support bereaved employees
Mental Health in the Modern Workplace: An Exploration of Individual and Relational Consequences of Employee Depression
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2025Employee mental health is an increasing topic of conversation and concern in today’s workplace. This dissertation consists of two chapters that explore employee mental health, specifically depression, as an important determinant of both individual and relational workplace consequences. In the first chapter, I seek to understand how remote work uniquely impacts employees who are experiencing depression. Results from three studies, using both archival and online panel data, found that remote work does not uniquely hinder a depressed employee’s interpersonal well-being, but had inconsistent detrimental impacts to their intrapersonal well-being. In the second chapter, I seek to understand how the coworker of a depressed employee is perceived by another coworker when they attempt to engage in—and involve others in—social support behaviors. Across three experiments using both online panel and field data sources, results highlighted the critical role of depression stigma in determining the extent to which social support behaviors are evaluated as empathetic and appropriate. This dissertation extends an understanding of the ways in which depression as a mental health condition is consequential to both the employee experiencing the condition, as well as their coworkers and surrounding climate
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
