Maine’s Investment Imperative
No full textIn the past two decades, Maine’s per capita income ranking has not topped 27th, and in recent years, the state’s relative position has dropped to 36th. More importantly, the gap between Maine and the United States has increased since 1990. In this article, Maine’s State Economist Laurie Lachance lays out a long-term investment strategy for Maine that focuses on education, research and development, comprehensive tax reform, greater efficiencies in the delivery of state and local services, and limits on government spending. Lachance argues that choices must be made even in times of fiscal crisis. Failure to invest means failure, period

No full textVirtual Volunteering
No full textSince the inception of the World Wide Web, organizations have incorporated various forms of digital technology (e.g., computer software and systems, artificial intelligence) into their operations. Within sport organizations and events, volunteers are a crucial resource – yet volunteering has traditionally occurred in-person. Emerging from the World Wide Web, virtual volunteering is becoming popular among organizations, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, operations were transitioned (either temporarily or permanently) to virtual spaces. Despite a plethora of research on virtual volunteering, its investigation in the context of sport organizations and events is absent. This absence remains despite the prominence of the digital age in contemporary society and the increasing adoption of digital technology in sport organizations and events. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss broader virtual volunteering research to suggest future research directions in the context of sport organizations and events. To accomplish this, research on virtual volunteering from the broader volunteer literature is reviewed and discussed according to topics (e.g., motivation, engagement, social capital), contexts (e.g., non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations), and key findings (e.g., demographics, relationships, management practices, advantages and disadvantages of virtual volunteers). Several directions are offered to incorporate virtual volunteering into future sport and event volunteer research.No Full Tex

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
