Understanding the perception of occupational psychosocial risk factors in developing countries: setting priorities for action
No full textBook synopsis:
This book is the third volume (2008) in the annual series from the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The discipline of occupational health psychology concerns the application of the principles and practices of psychology to the understanding and management of the dynamic relationship between workers and their work environment. For readers who are unfamiliar with this series a brief overview may be warranted here. Initiated in 2006, the regular volumes offer a set of chapters each of which has its focus on a discreet topic of current pertinence within the occupational health psychology (OHP) umbrella. All contributions are authored by individuals who are recognised by the international community as experts in the particular area of activity on which they are writing. The chapters within each volume are divided across three sections: research, education and professional practice, a structure that reflects the three pillars of activity on which the Academy operates. Chapters are designed to be of interest to a broad range of researchers, practitioners, educators and students of the discipline. Consistent with the Academy's constitutional objective to enhance awareness, knowledge and understanding of OHP, the series is affordably priced to ensure broad access

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
