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
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
The Impact of Entrepreneurship Education with placement on Entrepreneurial Activity - Manchester SEED Conference 2024
Get PDFResearch aim:
The aim of this research is to examine how entrepreneurship education (EE) incorporating placement influences students’ entrepreneurial mindset (EM) and intention leading to entrepreneurial activity (EA).
Research question:
What are the influences on entrepreneurial mindset, entrepreneurial intention, and entrepreneurial activity of undergraduate higher education entrepreneurship education with placement?
Research objectives:
To critically evaluate the influence of the placement on developing the entrepreneurial mindset, intention and activity
To critically examine the influence of curricular activity on developing the entrepreneurial mindset, intention and activity
To critically examine the influence of extracurricular (EC) activity on developing the entrepreneurial mindset, intention and activity
To identify the critical incidents in student’s entrepreneurial education journey in developing the entrepreneurial mindset, intention and activity
To assess how placement influences the relationship between entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial activit
The Impact of Entrepreneurship Education with Placement on Entrepreneurial Activity - Sheffield Institute of Education
Get PDFBoth researchers and public policymakers widely recognise that entrepreneurship is an important driver of economic growth (Fayolle & Gailly, 2008; Nowiński et al., 2019; Stamboulis & Barlas, 2014; van Praag & Versloot, 2007). In response, governments develop policy to enable and support entrepreneurship. In the UK, cross-subject guidance on the best practice for EE is provided but not mandated. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) respond to the government policy by developing EE programmes which promise to support a range of entrepreneurial outcomes (Nabi et al., 2017) including Entrepreneurial Activity (EA) through New Venture Creation (NVC), venture development, revenue generation, graduate businesses and overall job creation through their employees. Subsequently, individuals can benefit from effective Entrepreneurship Education (EE) which can develop and nurture their entrepreneurial behaviours and skills, the ‘Entrepreneurial Mindset’ (EM) leading to personal and national economic growth and development
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
A Systematic Literature Review of the Impact of Extracurricular Entrepreneurship Education
Get PDFThis paper presents the findings from a systematic literature review (SLR) which explores the impact of extracurricular entrepreneurship education (EC) within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It identifies (i) examples and influences of EC in HEIs, (ii) their impact, (iii) causal relationships between EC and entrepreneurial outcomes and (iv) further research needed. It shows that EC in HE appears in many forms and generally has a positive effect on the entrepreneurial mindset (EM); entrepreneurial intention (EI); entrepreneurial action (EA) and entrepreneurial competences. This SLR (i) informs entrepreneurship educators of previous practice of EC and its impact on EM, EI and EA enabling them to develop and sustain EC for positive outcomes and (ii) stimulates policy makers to promote entrepreneurship as an essential catalyst for wealth creation. Further research identified: (i) the need for longitudinal studies to clarify more precisely the causal relationships between: (a) EC and EM development, EI and EA and (b) intended and actual learning outcomes of entrepreneurship education and the development of entrepreneurial competences; (ii) the progression between EI and EA; (iii) the impact of specific forms of EC and (iv) the need to research the impact of EC and gender on EM, EI, and EA
