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
Liiketoimintapalveluiden yhteiskehittäminen
No full textAbstractThe internet is connecting suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders together as ecosystems for sharing and integrating resources in value creation. In this transformation customers have shifted from passive sales targets to active players in the ecosystems, and all the actors in the ecosystem are equally seen as resource integrators. This phenomenon is often called digitalization. Digitalization is service centric, which is further accelerating the transition towards service economy and service-dominant logic (SDL). Based on SDL value is co-created with the customer. This is changing the value stream beginning from the customer, and therefore the whole business logic from push to pull. In SDL also all actors are seen as equal resource integrators, so supplier organization has to align its value-creating resources with the customer’s and other resource integrators’ resources. The prerequisites for success in this transformation are continuous value co-creation, iterative market testing, and an agile and lean response to opportunities.The content of this dissertation has been produced and tested in a real business environment as an action-design research, answering the question: How does a knowledge-intensive business service provider maintain its relevance in constantly changing market conditions? This study demonstrates that agile responsiveness to the transforming market requires SDL, co-creational business model development, lean operations with a modular solution structure, and the continuous review of value creation (design thinking).The study provides four kinds of new knowledge. Firstly, it clarifies the practicality of the SDL approach in professional services, explaining the organizational encountering requests. Secondly, the study provides a framework for continuous business model transformation in the constantly changing market environment. Thirdly, the study modularizes a solution to a co-creational commercial service portfolio and repetitive technical structures in seeking delivery efficiency. Lastly, the study demonstrates how design thinking can be used to connect service portfolio management to the customers’ business needs, maintaining the co-creational and iterative value creation.Original papersOriginal papers are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.Kuula, S., Niemi, E., & Haapasalo, H.

Internet yhdistää toimittajat ja asiakkaat yhteiseen arvontuottoon integroituneissa ekosysteemeissä, muuttaen asiakkaat passiivisista myynnin kohteista aktiivisiksi toimijoiksi. Tämä edellyttää tuoteorientoituneen liiketoimintalogiikan muuttamista imuohjattuun jatkuvaan yhteiskehittämiseen ja sitä vastaavan palvelutuotannon optimoimiseen. Menestyksen kannalta avainasemassa on yritysten kyky jatkuvaan asiakasarvon luomiseen ja palveluiden kehittämiseen, markkinaa kokeillen ja muutokseen vastaten.
Tämä tutkimus osoittaa, että kyky vastata digiajan ajamaan jatkuvaan muutokseen edellyttää palveluyhtiöltä palveluorientoitunutta (service-dominant logic) ja iteratiivista (LEAN) toimintamallia, jossa arvo tuotetaan yhdessä asiakkaan kanssa, arvovirta ohjataan asiakkaan suunnasta vetäen ja liiketoimintamallin elementtejä jatkuvasti testaten, ja missä ekosysteemin kaikki toimijat ovat tasa-arvoisia resurssi-integraattoreita. Jatkuvan kehittämisen ohjauksessa hyödynnetään luovan työn keinoja muotoiluajattelun (design thinking) kautta. Muotoiluajattelun tehtävä on tuoda kehitysprosessiin laajaa ja jatkuvaa ymmärrystä asiakastarpeista ja tavoitteiden toteutumisesta koko ekosysteemin toiminnan optimoimiseksi.
Jotta arvontuotto olisi tehokasta, on toistuvat palvelunosat kyettävä tuotteistamaan. Koska tarjoamaa ei yhteiskehittämisessä voi tuotteistaa, on palvelun rakennetta katsottava erikseen kaupallisesta- ja teknisestä näkökulmasta (portfoliosta).

Väitöskirja tuo neljä uutta näkökulmaa palveluiden kehittämiseen; SDL-konseptin kirkastamisen käytännön esimerkein, liiketoimintamallin kehityskehikon, tehokkaan modulaarisen palveluntuotantomallin, sekä muotoiluajattelun yhdistämisen yhteisten liiketoimintamahdollisuuksien määrittelyyn
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
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.
