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
When Sustainability Speaks, Talent Listens: A Framework for Integrating a Sustainability-Oriented Value Proposition into Employer Branding
No full textSeeing the unsustainable and misleading business practices of big-name brands and companies, customers, suppliers, investors, and governmental and non-governmental organizations are raising concerns about the significant and far-reaching negative social-ecological impacts of such practices. Given these pressures and scrutiny from key stakeholders, businesses have recognized the need to integrate sustainability goals into their business objectives and have been actively trying to perform well on the sustainability front, creating visible positive socio-ecological impacts. Moreover, a lot has changed in the demands and expectations that employees have from organizations, with a large section of them going beyond just traditional job-related benefits (e.g., salaries, bonuses, and insurance) and striving to get opportunities to contribute to social-ecological welfare. Employer branding has become integral for organizations to communicate and form connections with both existing and potential employees. This shift calls for integrating sustainability aspects into the employer value proposition. While the literature on sustainable HRM and employer branding is extensive, covering topics related to incorporating sustainability into HR practices and engaging employees, there is surprisingly insufficient effort to take stock of the existing literature and build a framework on how to integrate sustainability-oriented employee value propositions into employer branding. Against this backdrop, drawing on the existing literature, we argue that for organizations to implement their sustainability initiatives successfully, a sustainability-focused approach to employer branding is essential. To this end, we start by conceptualizing sustainability-focused employer branding, addressing its challenges and associated considerations. Building on this, we propose practical strategies for attracting and acquiring talent. The core elements of our framework include enhancing employer attractiveness, employing value-based hiring practices, harmonizing organizational identities, and evaluating and refining talent acquisition strategies to better align with sustainability values. The proposed framework provides insights into how sustainability-focused employer branding can be used as a tool to attract and acquire talent and how such branding has an impact on organizations’ sustainability initiatives. This chapter paves the way for future research to test the impact of sustainability-focused employer branding on talent acquisition and retention. We hope that future studies will further explore the relationship between sustainable development goals (SDGs) and employer branding, examining their broader implications across various organizational contexts
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
