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
Analyse de la jonction compétences individuelles et compétences collectives : Proposition d'un plan mitigation des impacts Covid- 19
No full textAujourd’hui, la compétence collective n’est plus une option, mais plutôt un impératif face à la recrudescence de crises. Les impacts de la pandémie de la COVID-19 a dévoilé les insuffisances des compétences individuelles pour gérer les incertitudes. La compétence collective, source de valeur ajoutée, se traduit par la combinaison de compétences individuelles pour faire face à une situation de travail qui ne pourrait être assumée par des individus séparés. Pour négocier les imprévus générés par le COVID-19, les gestionnaires auront besoin d’une matrice explicitée des compétences individuelles, et des conditions suffisantes pour la combinaison de ces compétences. Mais, cette notion de compétence collective, est-elle bien cernée par la recherche scientifique? comment consolider les interconnections entre les éléments du collectif pour les combiner efficacement ? ... Autant de questionnements qu’on propose d’aborder en mobilisant le cadre théorique s’y rapportant. L’analyse de ces théories montre que les variables caractérisant les compétences individuelles ne peuvent répondre à l’interaction requise pour coordonner les actions face à une crise, et que l’articulation compétence individuelle-compétence collective reste peu explorée à ce jour. Nous proposons dans notre recherche un plan compétences pour la mitigation des impacts de la COVID-19, intégrant les variables des compétences individuelles et leurs liaisons avec les variables conditionnant la combinaison de ces compétences
Créativité et innovation au sein des organisations à travers l’histoire
Full text linkAvec l'importance croissante de l'innovation afin de renforcer la compétitivité desorganisations, la créativité se pose comme un élément essentiel pour la valeur ajoutée desproduits et services au sein de toute organisation.Pour cela cette recherche portera sur une étude qui consiste à questionner la notion de lacréativité en la confrontant à celle de l’innovation, afin de déterminer sa place et son importanceau sein des organisations à travers l’histoire; Sous la problématique suivante : Quelle est laplace de la créativité et de l'innovation au sein des organisations ?Dans cette perspective, notre article défini les deux notions créativité et innovation au sein desorganisations. Son objectif est de retracer les contours des développements théoriques etconceptuels. Afin de montrer que Les organisations les plus créatives et innovantes secaractérisent, en plus d'une gestion efficace, par l'utilisation systématique d'approches et detechniques créatives, ce qui leur permet de nourrir le processus d'innovation et création d'idées
Blockchain Adoption Among SMEs in Morocco: A qualitative study
Full text linkBlockchain technology is considered a breakthrough and innovative solution to many business related problems and across various economic sectors such as finance, supply chain, retail, health care, tourisBlockm and travel industry, and education. For Small and Medium Enterprises, in particular, blockchain technology adoption could facilitate their digitalization initiatives, reduce transaction and financing costs, and help them access new international markets. In this qualitative exploratory study, the goal was to understand the factors that influence SMEs adoption of blockchain technology in Morocco. Face to face interviews were conducted with six professionals from various sectors of the economy. The Technology-organization-environment framework was used as the theoretical framework of the study. Findings revealed that SMEs intention to adopt blockchain is influenced by perceived benefits, size, culture, technological capabilities, government support, and government regulations. Recommendations for future research included the use of a mixed method approach in data collection and analysis and the integration of other theoretical frameworks in the study of blockchain adoption in Morocco
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
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
