    This is an author's accepted manuscript of a chapter published by SAGE in The Sage Handbook of Human Resource Development edited by Tonette S. Rocco, Michael Lane Morris & Rob F. Poell, available online: https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/the-sage-handbook-of-human-resource-development/book284997 The accepted manuscript may differ from the final published version.The role of HRD practitioners have been a focus of research for many years. Much of this research has concentrated on information from practitioners themselves and/or on specific aspects of the current role of HRD functions in organizations. This chapter emphasises the differing perceptions of both HRD practitioners and their colleague/line managers on the HRD role in organizations. Insights are shared from the most recent research project on HRD roles currently being undertaken by the authors, drawn from a range of industries and three different countries: the USA, the UK and the Netherlands (NL). The findings of this project are set in the context of similar empirical research, as well as in the context of current conceptualisations of organization role and of HRD. The chapter concludes with observations on the relative roles of the main stakeholders in HRD practice in organizations and how these could be developed in the future

    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
