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
Arbete i hemmet : En kvalitativ studie om gränsdragning, sociala relationer och stöd från chefen vid hybridarbete
No full textHybrid work means that the employee gets the opportunity to carry out their work both remotely and in an office. The prevalence of hybrid work has increased in Sweden after the pandemic forced many to hybrid or remote work. Remote work in Swedish authorities has gone from being very unusual before the pandemic to 57% of government employees working remotely at least one day a week in 2023. The purpose of this study is to investigate how white-collar workers experience the boundary between work and leisure and how the social relations at the workplace have been affected by hybrid work. The study also explores what kind of support the white-collar workers feel they need from their manager in a hybrid work model. Previous research shows that hybrid work can lead to a weakened work-life balance, but at the same time the flexibility of it is appreciated. Difficulties in nurturing and maintaining social relationships in the workplace and difficulties for managers to provide support to their employees is shown as well in previous research. The study uses a qualitative research method with interviews with five white-collar women workers in three counties in the middle of Sweden. The results of the study show that the boundary between work and leisure is blurred in hybrid work, but that there are different opinions whether it leads to negative consequences for the employee or not. The study also shows that social relationships are important to maintain to avoid isolation, however the white-collar workers appreciate not having to interact with colleagues every day. Availability and trust from the manager is in this study shown to be the most important support for white- collar workers in hybrid work.Hybridarbete innebär att arbetstagare får möjlighet att utföra sitt arbete både på distans och på ett kontor. Utbredningen av hybridarbete har ökat i Sverige efter att pandemin tvingat fler till hybrid- eller distansarbete. Distansarbete på svenska myndigheter har gått från att vara väldigt ovanligt innan pandemin till att 57% av statligt anställda 2023 arbetar på distans minst en dag i veckan. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur tjänstepersoner upplever gränsdragningen mellan arbete och fritid och hur de sociala relationerna på arbetsplatsen påverkas av hybridarbete. Syftet är även att undersöka vilket typ av stöd tjänstepersonerna upplever att de behöver från sin chef vid hybridarbete. Tidigare forskning visar att hybridarbete kan leda till sämre work-life balance samtidigt som flexibiliteten med hybridarbete är uppskattad. Även svårigheter i att vårda och bibehålla sociala relationer på arbetsplatsen vid hybridarbete samt svårigheter för chefer att ge stöd till sina anställda framkommer i den tidigare forskningen. Studien använder sig av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med intervjuer av fem kvinnliga tjänstepersoner inom tre kommuner i Mellansverige. Resultaten visar att gränsen för arbete och fritid suddas ut vid hybridarbete men att det råder delade meningar om det leder till negativa konsekvenser för arbetstagaren eller inte. Studien visar även att sociala relationer är viktiga att bibehålla för att undvika isolering men att tjänstepersonerna uppskattar att inte varje dag behöva interagera med kollegor. Tillgänglighet och tillit från chefen framgår i studien som det viktigaste stödet för tjänstepersoner vid hybridarbete

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
