Continuous innovativenenss supported by integrated computer-based and PLM solutions
No full textMotivating product designers and research groups to think “outside the box” is of special interest for companies
and research centres willing to remain competitive even in times of crisis. It is proven that those leaders which realized that
the continuous innovativeness is a result of in‐crossed creativity support and sustained quality are more prepared for
changes and bring their companies to success. Innovation management has significantly changed towards approaches that
support innovation process especially the early phases in which creativity is more than needed. Approaches towards
Product Lifecycle Management are changed also. In the advent of Web.2.0 these approaches have become increasingly
computer‐based enabling access to large user communities evolving into open or semi‐open Enterprise 2.0 platforms. The
parallel development of tools that could support innovative (creative) thinking based on off‐line so‐called Classical methods
and IT solutions which claim to be collaborative and support idea generation brings to doubts about the choice of most
suitable solutions. On the other side, companies are more eager to use solutions which can follow the different business
processes including product lifecycle and that can aid their innovative capacity by being closer to customers. In this research
an integrated solution is suggested that includes ideation and collaborative tools cross‐used with PLM solutions which could
support continuous innovativeness. Existing concepts and approaches on computer‐based solutions for innovation and PLM
are presented, with a focus on the “creative” phases such as product design that elevates the success of the products. The
overview is made with a scope to underline the necessity of integration of the pragmatic aspects of creativity into solutions
having features recognized with literature and test analysis that could support mainly creative thinking and knowledge

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
