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
Motivational Drivers of Heavy Work Investment: Intercultural Comparison between USA and Middle East
No full textIn the current study, we examined the motivational correlates of both types of Heavy Work Investment (HWI) based on the self-determination theory of motivation, while controlling for job demands and resources. Consequently, the results of this analysis were compared among two different cultures (i.e., USA and Middle East). Furthermore, based on the results, a series of moderation analyses was conducted to explore potential moderation effects of four cultural dimensions (i.e., individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity). Overall, more focus has been given to outcomes of HWI types rather than their underlying motives. Moreover, the scarcity of random cross-cultural samples is a gap in the extant research, challenging the generalization of the current literature. The final sample included 632 full-time employees at a large Southeastern university in the U.S., a snowball sample in Egypt, and full-time employees at a large university in the UAE. The results showed workaholism is positively associated with the non-self-determined types of motivation (i.e., extrinsic and introjected regulation), while work engagement is positively related to the self-determined types of motivation (i.e., intrinsic and identified regulation), and negatively associated with extrinsic motivation. Furthermore, cultural masculinity moderated the motivational correlates of work engagement, as well as the relationship between workaholism and introjected regulation. Future research, organizational implications, and study limitations are addressed
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
Work from Afar, Self-Regulate from Within: The Role of Work Regulatory Focus in Managing Remote Job Demands and Resources.
Get PDFDespite the widespread use of the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory to explain burnout and work engagement, it does not fully account for variations in employees’ motivational strategies and self-regulation. To address this gap, and through a Regulatory Focus Theory (RFT) lens, the present dissertation examines the moderating role of work regulatory focus in the relationships between job demands and burnout, as well as job resources and work engagement. Given that regulatory focus can be both a stable trait and contextually influenced by workplace conditions (Higgins, 1997; Neubert et al., 2008), this study further explores how remote work rate interacts with work regulatory focus to shape these relationships. As prior research on regulatory focus within the JD-R framework remains limited (Brenninkmeijer et al., 2010), understanding its role in remote work settings is particularly crucial as organizations continue adapting to evolving work environments (Ewers & Kangmennaang, 2023; Goni-Legaz et al., 2024).
Findings for three-way interactions between remote work rate and work regulatory foci indicate that higher remote work rate and prevention focus weaken the positive job demands-burnout relationship. In contrast, work promotion focus did not exhibit significant moderation effects. From a practical standpoint, the current disssertation underscores the practical implications of adopting a prevention-focused approach in remote work settings, demonstrating that emphasizing avoidance motivation, such as preventing errors and managing threats, can potentially mitigate job demands' adverse effects on burnout. Ultimately, this study advances theoretical understanding of both JD-R and RFT, and provides actionable recommendations for designing sustainable remote work environments
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
