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
Multibeam bathymetry from SONNE cruises SO104 and SO244 and Marcus G. Langseth cruise MGL1610
No full textMultibeam bathymetric data were acquired during R/V SONNE Cruises SO104, SO244, and R/V Marcus G. Langseth Cruise MGL1610. The datasets were individually processed and gridded with grid cell sizes of 75 m. For the combined grid, depth information from SO244 was used wherever possible. If no SO244 data were available, MGL1610 data were preferred over SO104 data
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

How do business leaders learn in peer-group coaching?
Get PDFPeer coaching has been established as a useful tool in educational learning. Peer-group coaching practice among business leaders is historically built on peer coaching practice and has received little academic attention so far. This study aims to understand the processes within peer-group coaching and the factors that participants experience as influencing their learning in order to develop a theoretical framework of how business leaders learn in peer-group coaching.
The methodology employed to achieve this aim is grounded theory. Data for this research came from two sources, focus groups and interviews. The processes of peer-group coaching were explored in four focus groups and twelve leaders from two private organisations were interviewed using a semi-structured interview approach to investigate individual aspects of learning in peer-group coaching.
The accounts of leader experiences were used to develop a theoretical peer-group coaching framework, conceptualising leaders’ learning, applying grounded theory coding cycles and strategies, and identifying, comparing and connecting different categories. Core aspects of how leaders learn during peer-group coaching included the sharing of information, various forms of self-reflection and emotional reactions. The matching of peers, group-dynamics, and specific peer-group coaching processes are considered as factors that shape learning through influencing the learning environment. Psychological factors, such as trust and respect among peers, openness, empathy, and motivation were also identified as inter-connected with the learning experience. The results of the learning from peer-group coaching were manifested in new behaviour in leaders’ daily work.
This thesis contributes to the academic debates on the role of peer-group coaching in the learning of leaders. A proposed theoretical framework adds new elements to the currently accepted models of experiential learning. Furthermore, the findings of this study are used to develop specific recommendations for practice on how to increase leader’s learning and personal growth by introducing an extended definition of peer-group coaching and key methods for initiating peer-group coaching. A proposed framework can add value for practitioners and for organisations who plan to employ this coaching method for leader development.
Further research is suggested to explore pragmatic conditions for peer-group coaching sessions and to understand what influences might jeopardise learning in peer-group coaching
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
