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
Beyond employer brand content : understanding spillover effects and process attributes in employer branding
No full textIn today’s age of increased competition, a strong employer brand is critical to attract and retain talented people. To understand the organization’s employer brand and learn about its impact, prior research has mostly taken a content-oriented approach. This means that most prior studies have operationalized employer brand or image as a combination of instrumental (e.g., salary, job security) and symbolic attributes (e.g., sincerity, competence) and examined which of these predict the various reactions directed towards the employer, such as employer attractiveness, organizational attachment, employee ambassadorship. As a result, the employer branding strategies of most organizations revolve around employer brand content and tend to promote attributes that are relatively similar and common among organizations and industries. However, we believe that apart from content attributes, there could be other characteristics or contextual factors that might impact an organization’s evaluation as an employer. Especially, considering the present fast-paced communication, one might not solely rely on attributes like pay, working conditions to assess an employer. Hence, the purpose of this dissertation is to look beyond the content of employer brand and explore other interesting phenomena (spillovers) and employer-related features (process attributes) that could impact employer impressions and reactions. Specifically, the dissertation examines 1) the spillover effects of organizational crisis response and other organizational images, and 2) the role and added value of employer brand process attributes versus content attributes, via three empirical chapters.
The first empirical chapter addresses the first research theme and examines the role of organizational crisis (COVID-19) response to understand employer attractiveness. Using signaling theory and employer brand personality literature, it tests whether providing a COVID-19 response and signaling it in terms of organizational warmth and competence could attract potential applicants. Results of two experimental studies indicate that communicating a COVID-19 response in a warm way leads to the highest employer attractiveness and job pursuit intentions, although a competent response was still more attractive than no response. Moreover, developing the response in terms of warmth and competence helps build positive perceptions about the organization’s employer brand personality, and enhances applicants’ trust. Overall, this chapter suggests employers to pay attention to the context, e.g., implications of the recent pandemic and apply innovative employer branding strategies such as designing attractive crisis responses to manage their attractiveness during negative events.
The second empirical chapter examines the spillover effects of other organizational images (corporate, product/service, financial performance, corporate social performance image) in relation to the organization’s employer image to understand its employer attractiveness. Based on interviews with employees from five luxury hotels, this study shows that inconsistencies perceived between the organization’s external images and internal employer image has an impact on employees’ attraction towards their employer. Moreover, this external-internal image inconsistency also influences employees’ attachment (intentions to quit) and recommendation behavior. The study also found that employees use three distinct ways i.e. reactive, tactful, and adaptive strategies to deal with image inconsistencies. The chapter ends with a theoretical model that presents how employees perceive, react, and deal with inconsistent organizational images. Addressing both research themes, this chapter suggests organizations to consider the spillover effects of other organizational images and ensure employer brand consistency to stimulate positive employee reactions.
The third empirical chapter addresses the second research theme and investigates the role of other employer-related features (process attributes), in addition to content attributes to understand employee reactions (employer attractiveness, organizational identification, employee ambassadorship). Using Kelley’s attribution principle and HRM system strength theory, the study conceptualized and examined three process attributes: employer brand distinctiveness, consistency, and consensus. The findings show that employees were more attracted to their employer and displayed positive ambassadorship (recommendation behavior) when they considered the employer brand as high on distinctiveness and consistency. Moreover, employees identified more with their employer when the employer brand was perceived high on all three process attributes. Results also demonstrate the additional value and unique contribution of process attributes over the content attributes in explaining employees’ reactions. Overall, the chapter demonstrates the importance of features that typically highlight the process of employer branding to create a distinctive, consistent, and clear image of the organization as an employer.
The dissertation suggests both organizations and researchers to adopt a contextual and holistic (content plus process) approach to realize the true benefits of employer branding. In this regard, researchers could further extend this integrated thinking perspective to investigate what other factors or variables beyond the regularly investigated content attributes could add value and help understand organizations as employers. Similarly, organizations could employ more evidence-based employer branding practices that emphasize its process attributes, alignment with other organizational images, and enhanced warmth especially during crises, besides advertising a set of attractive functional and symbolic benefits
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
