No full textLe donne nei board delle società: parità vera o apparente?
Full text linkLa diversità nei board (di sesso, età, provenienza, ecc.) è raccomandata dalle buone pratiche di corporate governance; in particolare, la diversità di genere (che significa “presenza anche del sesso femminile”, essendo quella maschile prevalente) sarebbe estremamente auspicabile. Per l’approccio funzionalista (che è quello prevalente in questo ambito di ricerca), migliorerebbe la qualità dei processi decisionali, il controllo della gestione, la performance finanziaria, ridurrebbe il rischio. Il tema in Italia è di particolare rilevanza perché la Legge Golfo-Mosca del 2011 (le "quote rosa") ha imposto alle società quotate la presenza nei cda (per almeno un terzo, due quinti dal 2020, post proroga della legge) del genere meno rappresentato, che è nei fatti quello femminile. L’analisi qui svolta mira a mettere in evidenza come, pur nell’ambito di un processo che va, almeno apparentemente, nella direzione di favorire la parità di genere, si rilevino una serie di tendenze, nell’ambito della ricerca scientifica sul tema (di cui si presenta una review sistematica e aggiornata con riferimento alla letteratura internazionale, per lo più empirica), e di derive perverse nella pratica (con prevalente riferimento all’Italia) che replicano stereotipi e luoghi comuni propri “della disparità di genere” che si vuole combattere/superare e che quindi fanno dubitare sull’effettivo passo in avanti verso la parità di genere in termini di cambiamento socio-culturale.Diversity on boards (gender, age, origin, etc.) is recommended by good corporate governance practices; in particular, gender diversity (which means "presence of the female sex", since the male sex is predominant) would be extremely desirable. For the functionalist approach (which prevails in this field of research), it would improve the quality of decision-making processes, management control, financial performance, and reduce risk. The issue in Italy is of particular relevance because the Golfo-Mosca Law of 2011 (the "pink quotas") required listed companies to have the presence on the boards of directors (for at least a third, two-fifths since 2020, after the extension of the law) of the least represented gender, which is in fact the female one. The analysis carried out here aims to highlight how, even in the context of a process that goes (at least apparently) in the direction of promoting gender equality, a series of trends can be observed, in the field of scientific research on the subject (of which a systematic and updated review is presented with reference to the international literature, mostly empirical), and of perverse drifts in practice (with prevalent reference to Italy) that replicate stereotypes and clichés typical of "gender inequality" that research and practice want to fight/overcome and that therefore cast doubt on the actual step forward towards gender equality in terms of socio-cultural change
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
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
