Planted forests in emerging economies: Best practices for sustainable and responsible investments
No full textInvestments in industrial-scale planted forests have grown exponentially in recent years, and current assets under management total
USD 70-80 billion, up from about USD 1 billion in 1980. Once almost exclusively focused on timber production, investments are now rapidly
broadening their scope to embrace products and services that include ecosystem services, bioenergy and certified forest products.
Concurrently, the rapid growth of investments in plantations, notably in the tropics, has fostered controversies that are becoming more prominent and critical and that need to be faced by investors.
These are major reasons why investment companies and fund managers are increasingly interested in using sustainable and responsible
investment (SRI) tools (e.g. standards, guidelines, and codes of conduct) that help them ascertain whether planted forests assets are 'safe' or 'risk-free' as far as environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are concerned.
However, a classification system for SRI tools in the field of planted forests still lacks consensus. The present study therefore has two objectives: first, to identify, describe and analyze the tools that have been designed in order to promote SRIs in planted forests; and second, to suggest a framework for the evaluation of SRI tools vis- à-vis their capacity to address ESG issues in relation to investments in planted forests, with a longer-term aim of improving the SRI tools of the future.
An analysis of 121 investments in emerging economies enabled us to identify 339 organizations (i.e. stakeholders involved in the SRI process) and 50 SRI tools.
The classification of the 50 SRI tools based on the above mentioned set of variables allowed us to define an ESG Reference Document for
quality assessment of the SRI tools.
Overall, findings indicate that very few SRI tools are designed in ways that take adequate account of the specific social and environmental
sustainability issues relevant to planted forests
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
