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
Gamifying RPI: The benefits of avatars and knowledge-induced coworker familiarity
Get PDFThe growth of the gamification industry has increased the use of avatar-enhanced leaderboards as a method of providing public relative performance information (RPI). This study examines the effect of representing employees as humanlike avatars in public leaderboards on employees’ effort to improve their leaderboard performance (i.e., self-focused effort). Additionally, since practitioners have expressed concern that competition induced by leaderboards may reduce helping behavior, I also examine the effect of humanlike avatars on subsequent helping behavior toward coworkers on unrelated tasks (i.e., others-focused effort). Using an experiment, I find that representing employees with humanlike avatars increases both self-focused and subsequent others-focused effort when coworkers know little about each other, but that humanlike avatars do not increase either form of effort when coworkers know relatively more about each other. A supplemental experiment demonstrates that these effects are robust to using both humanlike silhouettes and headshot photographs as alternative forms of avatars. My study suggests that when deciding whether to provide public RPI via avatar-enhanced leaderboards, managers ought to consider the existing social environment in which employees operate.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2022-05-01The student, Jeffrey Williams Jr., accepted the attached license on 2020-04-13 at 09:16.The student, Jeffrey Williams Jr., submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-04-13 at 09:24.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-04-13 at 16:35.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14965 on 2020-08-25 at 17:27:26Made available in DSpace on 2020-08-26T23:54:31Z (GMT).

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

The role of social bonds in understanding the pre- and post-recognition effects of recognition visibility
Get PDFAlthough firms extensively use public recognition for high-performing employees, prior academic studies do not find beneficial effects of public recognition (versus private) on employee behavior. I utilize a laboratory experiment to investigate this apparent disconnect by investigating the strength of employee social bonds, and how it moderates the effect of recognition visibility on employees’ pre- and post-recognition behavior. Consistent with prior studies, I find that when weak social bonds exist, public recognition does not result in more beneficial employee behavior than from private recognition. However, when strong social bonds exist, public recognition (versus private) results in greater employee effort to achieve recognition and a more positive response to recognition. Overall, this study offers a potential explanation for the extensive use of public recognition in practice and has implications for the implementation of employee recognition programs – suggesting managers should consider the state of employee relationships before deciding how and where to recognize their employees.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Joseph Burke, accepted the attached license on 2018-11-26 at 15:52.The student, Joseph Burke, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-11-26 at 15:58.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-11-29 at 13:12.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13116 on 2019-02-07 at 14:18:02Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-07T20:36:01Z (GMT).
