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

Circular economy framework 4.0 for wholesale distributors: perspectives from regionality
No full textThe current productive scenario has presented relevant changes. The development of a Circular Economy (CE), makes possible the assimilation of a sustainable economic development model and allows us to develop cleaner and more sustainable production and distribution systems. Another of these changes concerns the phenomenon of Industry 4.0, which brings to organizations new forms of digitalization of their production processes. These technologies contribute to production and energy efficiency, greater information sharing and integration among stakeholders in a supply chain. In order to achieve the CE, technological modernization is necessary for the different sectors. Thus, Industry 4.0 is a determining factor for the maturity, in fact, of the CE, allowing companies to incorporate modern resources of technology and data for the formation of Circular Supply Chains. Some sectors are important players in the development of the CE. This is the case of the Wholesale Distributor Sector which has a prominent role in the city of Uberlândia - MG, which allows the analysis of the relationship between these stakeholders’ trough the regional perspective. There are many studies about the CE and Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing sector, but little is known about how the other members of the supply chain have reacted. Thus, the following research question arises: How is it possible to structure the Circular Economy within the context of digitalization in the Wholesale and Distribution Sector? Thus, the objective of this work is to identify the relationship between the concepts of Industry 4.0 and Circular Economy in wholesale distributors and to propose and validate a 4.0 distribution framework. To achieve the results, a systematic literature review was conducted to structure the framework, as well as semi-structured interviews with representatives of companies in the city of Uberlândia - MG, which integrate the wholesale distributors' supply chain to validate the framework. Later, Soft System Methodology (SSM) was applied to assess the sector’s ability to enable integration with other supply chain members to form a Circular Supply Chain. As a result of this work, a circular distribution framework was proposed for distribution 4.0. The application of Soft System Methodology (SSM) allowed a systemic analysis of the sector and the relationships that the stakeholders must maintain to structure a Circular Supply Chain, which contributed to the improvement of the proposed framework.Dissertação (Mestrado)O contexto do atual cenário produtivo tem apresentado relevantes mudanças. O desenvolvimento de uma Economia Circular (EC), torna possível a assimilação de um modelo de desenvolvimento econômico sustentável e nos permite a elaboração de sistemas de produção e distribuição mais limpos e sustentáveis. Outra destas mudanças diz respeito ao fenômeno da Indústria 4.0, que traz às organizações novas formas de digitalização de seus processos de produção. Essas tecnologias contribuem para a eficiência produtiva e energética, maior compartilhamento de informações e integração entre os stakeholders em uma cadeia de suprimentos. Para concretizar a EC é necessário que haja a modernização tecnológica nos diferentes setores. Assim, a Indústria 4.0 é fator determinante para a maturidade, de fato, da EC, permitindo que as empresas possam incorporar recursos modernos de tecnologia e dados para formação de Cadeias de Suprimentos Circulares. Alguns setores são players importantes no desenvolvimento da EC. Este é o caso do Setor Atacado Distribuidor que detém papel de destaque na cidade de Uberlândia - MG o que permite analisar a relação entre esses stakeholders sob a perspectiva da regionalidade. Há muitos estudos sobre a EC e a Indústria 4.0 no setor de manufatura, mas ainda pouco se sabe sobre como os outros membros da cadeia de suprimentos tem reagido. Desta forma, surge a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: Como é possível estruturar a Economia Circular dentro de um contexto de digitalização no Setor Atacado Distribuidor? Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar a relação entre os conceitos de Indústria 4.0 e Economia Circular em atacado distribuidores, propor e validar um framework de distribuição 4.0. Para alcance dos resultados foi conduzida uma revisão sistemática de literatura para estruturação do framework assim como entrevistas semiestruturadas com representantes de empresas da cidade de Uberlândia - MG, que integram a cadeia de suprimentos de atacado distribuidores para validação do framework. Posteriormente aplicou-se a Soft System Methodology (SSM) para avaliar a capacidade do setor em viabilizar a integração com os demais membros da cadeia de suprimentos para formação de uma Cadeia de Suprimentos Circular. Como resultado do trabalho propôs-se um framework de distribuição circular para distribuição 4.0. A aplicação da Soft System Methodology (SSM) permitiu uma análise sistêmica do setor e das relações que os stakeholders devem manter para estruturação de uma Cadeia de Suprimentos Circular, fato que contribuiu para o aperfeiçoamento do framework proposto.2022-02-1
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
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
