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

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
REGULAR ANNUAL INTERVIEW IN MINISTRY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Get PDFPOVZETEK
Uveljavitev Zakona o javnih uslužbencih v letu 2003, je prinesla novosti tudi na področju razvoja in upravljanja s kadri. 105. člen zakona določa, da mora nadrejeni spremljati delo, strokovno usposobljenost in kariero javnih uslužbencev in vsaj enkrat letno opraviti o tem razgovor z vsakim javnim uslužbencem.
Letni pogovor je ključni element spremljanja kadrov in usmerjanja kariere javnih uslužbencev. Je oblika načrtnega dela vodij s sodelavci, usmerjenega v njihovo strokovno usposobljenost, razvojni potencial in delovno uspešnost. Cilj je zagotoviti učinkovito javno upravo na podlagi sposobnih, usposobljenih in učinkovitih javnih uslužbencev.
Diplomsko delo je razdeljeno na teoretični in raziskovalni del.
V teoretičnem delu opisujemo predstavitev problema in metode dela. Sledi teoretična opredelitev letnih razgovorov, njihov namen, razlika med ocenjevalnim intervjujem in rednim letnim razgovorom, trening vodij, vsebina pogovora, priprava, potek, neposredno po razgovoru in problemi pri izvedbi rednih letnih razgovorov.
Predstavljeno je Ministrstvo za javno upravo in proces informatizacije letnega razgovora.
V raziskovalnem delu diplomske naloge smo skušali s pomočjo ankete ugotoviti kakšno je trenutno stanje izvajanja rednih letnih razgovorov na Ministrstvu za javno upravo. Zanimali so nas odgovori na naslednja raziskovalna vprašanja: organiziranost rednih letnih razgovorov, njihova koristnost, primernost tem, usposobljenost vodij za izvajanje le-teh in pomanjkljivosti vodenja rednih letnih razgovorov. Na osnovi rezultatov ankete in njihove analize ter teoretičnih spoznanj smo podali ugotovitve in predloge izboljšav.ABSTRACT
As the Civil Service Act entered into the force in year 2003, it also brought some newness on the field of development and human resources managing. According to the Article 105 of the mentioned act the public servant’s principle has to observe his work, his professional qualifications and the career of the public servant. For this purpose, the principle has to perform a discourse with each of his subordinate public servants at least once a year.
The annual discourse is the key element in contemplating the public servant’s career and to direct it. It is a form of the principle’s planned work with his subordinate to achieve their higher capacity and efficiency. Nevertheless, the high quality and efficiency of the public administration as a whole derives from capable, responsible and professionally qualificated public servants.
A degree project is divided into a theoretical and research part.
The problem itself and the methods of work are presented In the theoretical part of the project. The project continues with the defining of the annual discourse, it’s purpose, a difference between the assessing interview and the annual discourse, the methods which are used to prepare the superior public servants to perform the annual discourse, the contents of the discourse, preparatory work and the presentation of the existing problems regarding the annual discourses.
The work of the Ministry of Public Administration regarding the computer based annual discourse is also presented in the project.
At the research part of the degree project we were trying to establish the temporary state of the annual discourse at the Ministry for Public Administration by using the opinion poll as a method. The research questions were about the arrangement of the annual discourses, what is the use of annual discourses, how suitable the topics of the annual discourses are and what are the defectivenesses of them. According to the results that we got using the opinion poll and the further analysis we extended the conclusions and defined where could still be a room for improvements
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
