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
Storytelling : tool of attraction and mobilization of the moroccan qualified diaspora
Get PDFIn a context of globalization that has characterized the international mobility flows of highly qualified migrants. The issue of attracting and mobilizing skilled workers has become a priority for countries around the world and more specifically for developing countries. Indeed, territories and organizations are in competition to attract the best talents. Morocco aware of this challenge at the crossroads of civilizations, known for its rich history of emigration continues to undergo different forms of humain mobility. The theory of economic catch-up of migration emphasizes the importance of brain gain at the expense of a brain drain. The Moroccan diaspora represent a reservoir of talents that could be put at the service of the development of the morrocan economy. Indeed the practice of storytelling as a marketing tool and branding drawing its origins from the field of narratology could constitute an interesting track to influence the perceptions of the moroccan diaspora highly qualified to generate the expected behaviour. Our research objective is to contribute to scientific and managerial reflections on the potential of adopting a branding approach by conceptualizing storytelling in the process of attraction and mobilization of the qualified diaspora for the development of the moroccan economy. Indeed, the practice of storytelling has been used in different contexts such as the consumption of goods, tourism and recruitment to generate a good reputation and increase the trust ratio within the targeted community
L’image de marque au service de l’attraction des investissements de la diaspora marocaine
No full textGlobalisation has increased competition between territories to attract foreign direct investment because of its impact on economic development. Morocco aware of this challenge, has a diaspora of more than five million of which a large part wishes to invest in its country of origin. Our problematic focuses on how the brand contributes to attracting investments of the moroccan diaspora. Our research objective is the realization of a conceptual model inspired by our literature review to stimulate the attraction of moroccan investors living abroad. The state of the art has shown that in recent years, territorial marketing and branding strategies have gained importance due to the fierce competition between territories and the phenomenon of international mobility. Previous work has been characterized by a variety of study objects and different dimensions in the choice of the territory studied, due to the multidimensional nature of the issue of territorial attractiveness. In general, the theoretical framework of this field of study has been described by several researchers as insufficient. In this article we highlighted the concept of brand image by making the link with the attraction of investors from the moroccan diaspora in the light of the theory of social representations and the theory of planned behavior converging in the notion of perception. This article does not claim to be exhaustive but it offers new research perspectives in this field of study.

Le Maroc conscient de ce défi, dispose d’une diaspora de plus de cinq millions dont une grande partie souhaite investir dans son pays d’origine. Notre problématique s’arrête sur la manière dont la marque contribue dans l’attraction d’investissements de la diaspora marocaine. Notre objectif de recherche est la réalisation d’un modèle conceptuel inspiré de notre revue de littérature afin de stimuler l’attraction des investisseurs marocains résidant à l’étranger. L’état de l’art a montré que depuis quelques années, les stratégies de marketing et de branding territoriales ont gagné de l’importance en raison de la compétition acharnée entre les territoires et du phénomène de la mobilité internationale. Les travaux antérieurs se sont caractérisés par une variété d'objets d'études et des dimensions différentes dans le choix du territoire étudié, en raison du caractère multidimensionnel de la question d’attractivité territoriale. De manière générale, le cadre théorique de ce champ d’études a été qualifié par plusieurs chercheurs comme étant insuffisant. Dans cet article, nous avons mis l’accent sur le concept d’image de marque en faisant le lien avec l’attraction des investisseurs de la diaspora marocaine à la lumière de la théorie des représentations sociales et la théorie du comportement planifié qui convergent dans la notion de perception. Cet article ne prétend pas l’exhaustivité, il offre, cependant, de nouvelles perspectives de recherche dans ce domaine d’étude.

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
