    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Potreba po novih izdelkih in raznolikosti ponudbe je iz dneva v dan večja. Trgi se spreminjajo, konkurenca pa se veča.

    Podjetja se v današnjem času zavedajo, da sam dobiček ne pomeni tudi uspešnosti. Zaradi pritiska družbe, okoljskih problematik in fluktuacije zaposlenih so primorana začeti razmišljati o svojih vplivih znotraj in zunaj podjetja. Posledično se morajo obnašati odgovorno in etično. Družbena odgovornost podjetja je pojem, ki se ga danes veliko ljudi zaveda in skuša vpeljati v svoje poslovanje. Namen magistrskega dela je, spoznati omenjeni koncept in različne poglede znanstvenikov nanj. Na podlagi pereče tematike organizacija ISO v letu 2010 objavi mednarodni standard ISO 26000:2010, ki ponuja smernice za vpeljavo družbene odgovornosti. Standard skozi delo tudi podrobneje spoznamo. Za lažje razumevanje družbene odgovornosti in njeno vpeljavo v podjetje smo pripravili tudi analizo skladnosti s standardom SIST ISO 26000:2010, da ugotovimo, ali je primerno managersko orodje in kakšne so njegove omejitve. Družbeno odgovornost podjetja lahko uspešno uvedejo v podjetje, s pomočjo standarda SIST ISO 26000:2010. Standard ponuja smernice za področja, na katera je potrebno preusmeriti pozornost, da družbeno odgovornost integriramo v poslovanje. Zaradi svoje splošne sestave, pa je primeren za vse vrste in velikosti organizacij. Opozarja na pomembnost vključevanja zunanjih in notranjih deležnikov, ki so pomembni pri družbeno odgovornem ravnanju in podpori, ter spodbuja k rednem poročanju o napredku družbene odgovornosti podjetja.Today, companies are aware that the profit itself does not mean success. Due to the pressure of society, environmental issues and fluctuation of employees, they are forced to start thinking on their influence inside and outside the company. Therefore, they must behave responsibly and ethically. Corporate social responsibility is a concept that many people today are aware of and are trying to implement it in their business. In the master\u27s thesis, we learn about the concept and different views of scientists on it. In 2010, based on a pressing issue, organization ISO publishes international standard ISO 26000:2010, which offers guidelines for introducing social responsibility. During this thesis, we meet standard more detailed. In order to facilitate understanding of social responsibility and its introduction into the company, we have prepared a compliance analysis with the standard SIST ISO 26000:2010 in order to determine whether it is an appropriate management tool and what are its limitations. Corporate social responsibility can be successfully introduced to the company, using the standard SIST ISO 26000: 2010. Standard provides guidelines for the areas, to which attention needs to be shifted to integrate corporate social responsibility into business. Due to its general structure, it is suitable for all types and sizes of organizations. It draws attention to the importance of involving external and internal stakeholders, which are important in socially responsible behaviour and support and encourages regular reporting on the progress of corporate social responsibility

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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
