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
Gestión de cambio y construcción de resiliencia en las cibliotecas del Caribe
No full textThe time has come for Caribbean libraries to take urgent action and implement change. The management. Specifically, change management is more important than ever and has to be the catalyst for change for libraries to operate in the current dynamic unstable environment with the ubiquitous impact of the global pandemic. Additionally, the resilience framework has to be ingrained in the culture to strengthen an individual and organization. Moreover, libraries need to prepare, respond to and navigate abrupt disruptions.

The presentation argues that shaping a resilient individual and organization is key to cope with the chaotic interruptions in the library ecosystem. Pitch effective change management strategies to embrace communication, vision and leadership, training and organizational alignment.
Building resilience is vital to embed in a roll back plan for a two–way door decision making process. Likewise, for standardization of routines in the hybrid work environment, adjusted and updated disaster recovery plans and core library services that triggered digital offerings for service continuity. Therefore, the key purpose of the presentation is to harness resilience into effective change management and being proactive.
Resilience and change management reinvigorates Caribbean libraries. Envisioning the future and redefine library services to serve library users better and ensure business continuity.
Unlocking Mentoring: Supporting Co-workers’ Through Professional Experience and Workplace Knowledge Can Be the Key
No full textVariations 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
