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

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
Pratique du télétravail et efficacité des salariés en période de crise sanitaire : une investigation au sein des entreprises camerounaises
No full textThe objective of this research is to analyze the influence of teleworking on employee efficiency. We therefore start from the observation that the world of work seems to be confronted with new organizations facing new information and communication technologies. Consequently, some companies are adapting to these technologies and offering their employees a new way of working: teleworking. However, this is not yet clearly anchored in mentalities. A polymorphous practice emanating from a certain flexibility in organizations and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), teleworking seems to appeal to a growing number of workers. This is why we were interested in the teleworking context. For a long time, teleworking was considered by Cameroonian business managers as a negligible form of work organization. Today with the globalization of economies and the famous health crisis which is currently affecting the entire planet, these managers, the center of the development policies of their companies, have turned to this organization of work which, it must be noted, has existed since a long time. The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of teleworking on employee efficiency. For this we considered autonomy and control to explain the latter. We used linear regression on a sample of 50 employees based on a questionnaire to conclude that autonomy at work has a positive influence on employee efficiency. For the control variable, a linear regression on a sample of 50 employees based on a questionnaire found that control has a negative effect on employee efficiency.
Key words: teleworking, control, autonomy, efficiency.

Paper type: Theoretical Research or Empirical ResearchL’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser l’influence du télétravail sur l’efficacité des salariés. Nous partons donc du constat que le monde du travail semble être confronté à de nouvelles organisations faisant face aux nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication. Par conséquent, certaines entreprises s’adaptent à ces technologies et proposent, à leurs salariés, un nouveau mode de travail : le télétravail. Néanmoins, celui-ci n’est pas encore clairement ancré dans les mentalités. Pratique polymorphe émanant d'une certaine flexibilité dans les organisations et d'un usage des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC), le télétravail semble séduire un nombre croissant de travailleurs. C’est pour cette raison que nous nous sommes intéressés au contexte de télétravail. Pendant longtemps le télétravail a été considéré par les gestionnaires d’entreprise camerounaise comme une forme d’organisation du travail négligeable. Aujourd’hui avec la mondialisation des économies et la fameuse crise sanitaire qui touche la planète tout entière actuellement, ces gestionnaires, centre des politiques de développement de leurs entreprises, se sont tournés vers cette organisation du travail qui, il faut le préciser, existait depuis longtemps. L’objet de cette recherche est d’analyser l’influence du télétravail sur l’efficacité des salariés. Pour cela nous avons considéré l’autonomie et le contrôle pour expliquer ce dernier. Nous avons utilisé une régression linéaire sur un échantillon de 50 salariés en nous basant sur un questionnaire pour conclure que l’autonomie au travail a une influence positive sur l’efficacité des salariés. Pour la variable contrôle, une régression linéaire sur un échantillon de 50 salariés en se basant sur un questionnaire a permis de trouver que le contrôle a un effet négatif sur l’efficacité des salariés.
