Full text linkHow Customers and Employees of Perceptive Informatics Feel about Software as A Service Deployment Model and What Are the Barriers They Feel that Exist towards Adoption of the Model?
Full text linkSoftware-as-a-Service deployment model has become the way forward for many technology companies. Most companies with an established on-premise business are looking to adopt SaaS deployment model to incorporate SaaS offerings into their product portfolio. Gartner (2012) expects the SaaS enterprise application market to grow from 26.5billion in 2016 generating a 17.4% compound annual growth rate.
Perceptive Informatics is a leading eClinical solutions provider, looking to incorporate SaaS as a part of their key offerings. They are looking to deliver agile SaaS applications and technology services, which will enable their customers to realize the benefits of an integrated clinical trial technology suite. The objective of the project is to identify how customers and employees of PI feel about SaaS deployment model and what are the barriers they feel that exists towards the adoption of the model.
Findings from the quantitative research undertaken with PI’s customers, indicates that the customers are confident about SaaS and keen to try eClinical SaaS offerings in the future. Around 64% of the survey participants have responded positively for SaaS model as they look out for more SaaS deployment in future. Data security and lack of integration capabilities are considered as the major barriers which results in customers being hesitant to deploy SaaS model. The other major concerns identified from the research are the lack of flexibility within the SaaS product, the fear of being locked to a single vendor, reliability of the SaaS applications and concerns over the SaaS solutions compliance to the industry-specific regulatory requirements.
The qualitative research undertaken with PI’s employees’ reveals that the employees are feeling optimistic and positive to adopt the SaaS model as they believe that adopting SaaS model will make the organization efficient and create opportunities for market expansion. The challenges involved in convincing the existing customers about SaaS model and the internal resistance among employees to the changes during the course of adoption was considered as major barriers. The other major barriers identified from the research are the technical complexities involved in making a successful SaaS offering, lack of expertise in SaaS and lack of commitment from key stakeholders of different business units.
The report analyses the findings from the customer and employee research and provides some key recommendations to PI

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
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
