    Purpose: The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4th IR) affects the mode of company management. In this paper, a revised social responsibility (SR) model is presented as an evaluation tool for corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance for sustainable organizational growth in the era of the 4th IR. Design/methodology/approach: To develop an SR model that can be used well in the era of the 4th IR, the key references are “ISO 26000: Guidance on Social Responsibility” and “the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines.” For ISO 26000 and the GRI guidelines, see the homepages in the References section. On the basis of these guidelines, a new SR model for sustainable development in the 4th IR is developed in this paper. Findings: For a new SR model in the 4th IR, the concepts of management quality, quality responsibility, creating shared value, social value and open data and open quality management (QM) are incorporated into the existing International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26000 evaluation criteria. Originality/value: The 4th IR is changing the concepts of both QM and SR. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the new concept of SR is yet to be discussed extensively. In this paper, a new SR model is suggested to reflect the characteristics of the 4th IR. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.11Nscopu

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
