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
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
Citypress Oy asiakasuskollisuusohjelman tuottajana -yhteistyön tuottama lisäarvo asiakkaalle
Get PDFTämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli tutkia Citypress Oy:n ja tämän asiakkaan välistä liiketoimintaa. Tutkimuksen pyrkimyksenä on selvittää, kuinka hyvin Citypress Oy on onnistunut vastaamaan asiakasyrityksensä tavoitteisiin ja tarpeisiin asiakasetukonseptien tuottajana.
Tutkimuksen avulla pyrittiin saamaan vastaus siihen, millaista lisäarvoa asiakasyritys kokee saavansa asiakaslojaliteettiohjelmista, etenkin kun palkitsemisjärjestelmät perustuvat yrityksen oman toimialan ulkopuolelle. Tutkimusta on tarkoitus käyttää tulevaisuudessa markkinointityökaluna uusasiakashankinnassa sekä nykyisten asiakassuhteiden syventämisessä.
Opinnäytetyön teoreettinen viitekehys rakentuu business to business markkinoinnin ja suhdemarkkinoinnin teorioista. Yhtenä teoriana opinnäytetyössä tullaan käsittelemään asiakaslojaliteettiohjelmia, mitä niillä tarkoitetaan ja mitkä ovat niiden tavoitteet.
Tutkimus toteutettiin kvalitatiivisena tutkimuksena ja tiedonkeruumenetelmänä käytettiin teemahaastatteluja. Tutkimusta varten haastateltiin asiakasyrityksestä neljää henkilöä, jotka vastaavat yrityksen asiakkuuksista ja asiakaslojaliteettikonsepteista. Tutkimus eteni haastatteluista tulosten litterointiin ja analysointiin.
Tutkimustulosten mukaan yhteistyö on asiakkaalle erittäin kustannustehokas tapa toimia. Tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, se että Citypress Oy on onnistunut tuottamaan asiakkaalleen palvelun, johon heidän omat resurssit eivät olisi riittäneet. Tutkimustulokset osoittavat sen, että asiakasyritys on erittäin tyytyväinen yhteistyöhön. Citypress Oy on onnistunut saavuttamaan asiakkaansa tuotteelle sekä yhteistyölle asettamat tavoitteet. Tutkimustuloksista voidaan lisäksi todeta se, että asiakasyritys kokee asiakaslojaliteettiohjelman tärkeänä osana muuta kanta-asiakasmarkkinointiaan ja näkee asiakasetukonseptin lisäarvoa tuottavana palveluna asiakkailleen.The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis was to examine Citypress Ltd and its client’s co-operation. The thesis tries to clarify how well Citypress Ltd has managed to meet expectations and goals as a producer of a customer loyalty program.
This research aspires to study the kind of added value client gets from customer loyalty program, especially when the reward system is based outside of company’s own line of business. In the future this thesis can also be used as a marketing tool for winning new customers and strengthening the existing customer relationships.
The theoretical background consists of theories on business-to-business marketing and relationship marketing. The theory of customer loyalty programs, what they are and what they are aiming for, will be used as one theoretical entirety.
The research was executed as qualitative research and theme interviews were used as a data collection method. Four people were interviewed for this research. These people are in charge of the company’s customerships and customer loyalty programs. This research proceeds interweaves to analysing the results.
The results indicate that co-operation is a very cost effective way to do business. Based on the results Citypress Ltd has managed to produce a service for its clients, for which the clients own resources are not sufficient enough.
The results also indicate that the customer is satisfied with the co-operation and Citypress Ltd has managed to achieve the aims that the client has set for the product and co-operation. The clients feel that the loyalty program is an important part of the other customer marketing operations and find the service provides added value to their customers
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
