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
Stakeholder theory: origins, developments and contributions to the field of business and society: Théorie des parties prenantes : origines, développements et contributions au champ de l'entreprise et la société
Get PDFAfter 36 years of its introduction into the field of management, stakeholder theory is ubiquitous today. We can easily see a spread of its terminology everywhere, whether in scientific journals or in the speeches of managers and company websites. Especially when it comes to the relationship between the business and its environment. However, despite this widespread popularization, little is known about its real contribution to the evolution of knowledge and practice of company management. Indeed, it is approached in the French-speaking literature in a fragmented way, according to the objectives of each researcher. And rare are the works that have brought together the existing, in particular his various contributions to the field of CSR, that he has mobilized widely. Thus, the objective of this paper is to review the origins, developments and contribution of stakeholder theory, in particular for the research field of business and society
Résumé
Après 36 de son introduction dans le champ de management, la théorie des parties prenantes est aujourd’hui omniprésente. On constate aisément une diffusion partout de sa terminologie, que ce soit dans les revues scientifiques ou dans les discours des dirigeants et les sites des entreprises. Surtout lorsqu’il s’agit de la relation entre l’entreprise est son environnement. Cependant, malgré cette grande vulgarisation, on sait peu sur sa réelle contribution dans l’évolution de la connaissance et la pratique du management de l’entreprise. En effet, elle est abordée dans la littérature francophone de façon fragmentée, selon les objectifs de chaque chercheur. Et rare sont les travaux qui ont regroupé l’existant, notamment ses différentes contributions pour le domaine de la RSE, qu'il l’a mobilisée largement. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce papier est de revenir sur les origines, les développements et l’apport de la théorie des parties prenantes, en particulier pour le champ de recherche de l’entreprise et la société.

LA RESPONSABILITE SOCIETALE DES ENTREPRISES FAMILIALES: ETAT ET PERSPECTIVES DE LA RECHERCHE
Get PDFThis paper provides an overview of the literature on the social responsibility of family businesses. It examines 85 articles published in 39 journals over the period 1990-2019. The goal of this literature review was to provide an updated and comprehensive review of scientific articles on the social responsibility of family businesses. Thus, this contribution has allowed us, first of all, to clarify the characteristics of family businesses that can promote or oppose the responsible behavior raised by researchers. Then, out of the various theses of this new field of research. And finally, to offer some thoughts that may be the subject of future research
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
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
