Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Autoethnography in qualitative studies of gender and organization : A focus on women successors in family business
Full text linkThis chapter examines autoethnography as a research method to study women in family business. Prior studies suggest that family businesses may provide a harbour where women have the opportunity to manage existing businesses and create new ventures. Yet, whilst scholars have noted the crucial input of women in the creation, development and continuity of family businesses, their experience as successors is not unproblematic. This chapter argues that the perceived role of women could remain unchallenged unless methods that allow fresh understanding of the complex narratives and emotional components of family business succession are considered. The study presented in this chapter uses an autoethnographic illustration of a son and expected successor of a family business as he reflects on the memories and experiences related to a women becoming the successor of his family in business. This chapter will be of interest to academics who seek new approaches to understand complex gendered relations in family businesses

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Participant observation in gender and management research
No full textThis chapter discusses the significance of using participant observations as a method for studying gender in the context of management education. It focuses on the situated nature of gender within a broader cultural context which needs further consideration when designing observational study methods. By using action learning (AL) sets as our focal point, we illustrate the constrained nature of participant observations and direct attention towards the interplay of subjective dimensions (e.g. positionality, identity and tendencies) of power unfolding between the observer and those being observed. In so doing, we highlight key features and the process of participant observations through our study of MBA students on an AL programme at three Pakistani business schools. Our study acts as a steppingstone for scholars in considering the challenges and ethical concerns of using participant observations as research method for studying gender
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Autoethnography in qualitative studies of gender and management
No full textIn this chapter I will discuss how and why autoethnography is a suitable method for those interested in academic research where gender studies overlaps with management. In doing so I provide a brief history of ethnography before discussing autoethnography. I discuss the main features of autoethnography as a qualitative method and discuss recent academic work in gender and management studies that have used autoethnographic method. I provide two vignettes as examples of autoethnography that both illustrate and reflect on points raised in this chapter. I critically reflect on how this method both opens up a space for women and minority gender voices but may also restrict what stories may be told. I conclude with suggestions for how autoethnography may develop further as a method suited to gender and management research
