A trade union perspective on industrial policy regimes in France, Germany, Denmark, China, Singapore and South Korea: What lessons for the United Kingdom?
Full text linkThis submission for a PhD by Published Work brings together five peer-reviewed papers produced
between 2010 and 2017, which consider the role and outcomes of industrial policy. It is based on the experiences of France, Germany, Denmark, China, Singapore and South Korea. It considers debates surrounding the desirability of industrial policy at all, as well as discussions considering whether a lighttouch approach, based on David Ricardo’s theory of comparative advantage, or a more radical process, should be pursued.
The thesis is framed within the theory of institutional economics. Desk research undertaken for each paper was supplemented by semi-structured interviews conducted while I worked as a Senior Policy Officer at the Trades Union Congress (TUC). Agents within capitalism include trade unions, but the literature on industrial policy does not discuss the institutional role of union practitioners as experts, contributing to the implementation of industrial policy across different models of capitalism. This is a gap that my programme of research seeks to fill.
My key findings are: that industrial policy interventions, that is to say, government action taken against market signals, strategically applied, can play a major role in economic development; that transplanting institutions from one model of capitalism to another is problematic, but that developing institutions to take on different responsibilities as economic policy objectives change can overcome ‘path dependency’ constraints within different capitalist models; and that trade unions, using their ‘insider’ status, can shape the development of industrial policy.
The contributions to knowledge made by this body of work include the reconceptualizing of industrial relations within the United Kingdom, in order that social partnership is instituted at the company level, to deliver better outcomes for the workforce. My published work has already shaped the debate on the nature of industrial policy through discussion and comment in the national media and through in-depth policy discussions among political leaders and influencers

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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
