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
Digitalisierung und regionaler Wissenstransfer: Interdependenzen und Herausforderungen
Full text linkZusammenfassung Die Digitalisierung von Unternehmen und der Wissenstransfer (WT) zwischen akademischen und nichtakademischen Akteuren sind zentral für regionale Innovationsstrategien. Dennoch ist weder klar, wie der WT zur Digitalisierung beitragen kann, noch wie digitale Arbeitsweisen den WT unterstützen können. Um beide Fragestellungen näher zu beleuchten, untersuchen wir sechs regionale Wissenstransfersysteme in Deutschland. Die Analyse zeigt, dass Maßnahmen des WT auf unterschiedliche Weise zu Digitalisierungsprozessen regionaler Akteure beitragen und sich die Akteure des WT vielfach digitaler Arbeitsweisen bedienen. Innerhalb regionaler Wissenstransfersysteme werden sowohl Informationen zu digitalisierungsrelevanten Themen vermittelt und in Netzwerken vertieft als auch konkrete Digitalisierungsprojekte unterstützt. Digitale Tools und Arbeitsweisen spielen eine wichtige Rolle, einerseits für die Durchführung entsprechender Veranstaltungsformate und andererseits für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Organisationen. Die Analyse zeigt jedoch auch, dass die Möglichkeiten der Unterstützung durch WT begrenzt sind und auch hinsichtlich der Nutzung digitaler Instrumente verschiedene Herausforderungen bestehen. Letztere konzentrieren sich auf die Auswahl und Umsetzung bestehender Lösungen, die von wissenschaftlicher Seite nur begrenzt sinnvoll unterstützt werden können. Themen von größerem wissenschaftlichem Interesse finden nur bei wenigen, bereits stark digitalisierten Unternehmen intensivere Beachtung. Darüber hinaus gestaltet es sich schwierig, vertrauensbasierte Netzwerkbeziehungen über digitale Kanäle zu initiieren und für Kooperationen zwischen Organisationen nutzbar zu machen.Abstract Digitalization and knowledge transfer represent central aspects of most regional innovation strategies. Nonetheless, we know little about the interdependencies between them. We know neither how knowledge transfer can contribute to digitalization nor how digital instruments can support knowledge transfer. To shed more light on these issues, we analyzed six regional knowledge transfer systems in Germany. The analysis reveals that knowledge transfer contributes to firm digitalization in several ways and that supporters of knowledge transfer often apply digital instruments. Within regional knowledge transfer systems, intermediaries disseminate relevant knowledge, establish specific networks, and support particular digitalization efforts. Digital tools play an important role in processing these activities as well as in cooperation within knowledge transfer systems. However, it is also clear that the possibilities of knowledge transfer in digitalization are limited and that several challenges remain in utilizing digital instruments in knowledge transfer. Challenges in digitalization often consist of selecting and implementing digital solutions, which cannot always be supported by academia. Innovative academic topics have been taken up by only a few digital pioneers. Further, it remains challenging to initiate and establish trust-based network relationships and to cross administrative borders via digital channels.Niedersächsische Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100011937Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100002347Georg-August-Universität Göttingen 50110000338
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
