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
History in Organisation Studies
No full textThere have been various calls in the literature more recently for engaging with history in the study of organisations and their management. They have been joined by a number of studies that have either had an explicit historical focus or that have clearly incorporated an historical perspective in their examination of organisational and managerial phenomena. The appeal for greater engagement with history has, for the most part, come as a reaction to the largely ahistorical character that organisation studies has gained during its development as a separate discipline in the second half of the twentieth century. The essays in this special issue reflect to a considerable degree the diversity that has been taking shape as history is being brought back into organisation studies via different routes. Some of the contributions extend and sharpen a particular position. Others, embedded as they are in a particular perspective, provide examples of strategies that have or may be employed in conducting historically informed or historically orientated research within organisation studies. At the most fundamental level, the essays in this special issue constitute a collection of studies on a range of organisations and organisational fields relatively little studied in the literature, certainly in historical terms. They also provide examples of different strategies with regard to the 'how' of conducting studies of organisations with a historical focus. Most significantly, perhaps, the essays reflect the emerging diversity as more calls and engagements are made for bringing history back into organisation studies. Some of them in particular help to clarify and sharpen alternative persuasions as to the ways in which history needs to be brought back and should therefore serve as valuable additions to the emerging debates over how this ought to happen
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
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

No full textWat wil de sportvisser?: Een onderzoek naar de wensen en behoeften van aangesloten sportvissers in Nederland anno 2016
No full textBijna anderhalf miljoen Nederlanders beoefenen in hun vrije tijd het sportvissen. Daarvan zijn ruim 580.000 vissers aangesloten bij een hengelsportvereniging. Het sportvissen kan dus als belangrijke vorm van recreatie in ons land worden gezien. Om de grote variatie in wensen en voorkeuren te onderzoeken, heeft het Mulier Instituut, in opdracht van Sportvisserij Nederland, een vragenlijst uitgezet onder een grote groep vissers in Nederland. In totaal reageerden 12.915 vissers op de oproep om deel te nemen aan dit onderzoek. Het doel van het onderzoek is meer inzicht te vergaren in de belevingswereld van sportvissers, zodat Sportvisserij Nederland haar strategie beter kan toespitsen op de verschillende doelgroepen die zij bedient. Het onderzoek richt zich op vier verschillende aspecten van de beleving en de behoeften van de sportvissers: behoeften en beleving rondom viswater; waardering visstand; struikelblokken en beperkingen; binding en lidmaatschapsvormen
Preface
No full textThis book highlights the experiences of international leaders in liberal arts and science education from around the world as they discuss regional trends and models, with a specific focus on developments in and cooperation with China. Focusing on why this model responds to the twenty-first century requirements for excellence and relevance in undergraduate education, contributors examine if it can be implemented in different contexts and across academic cultures, structures, and traditions
