Gemeinsam die Zukunft gestalten : Partizipation im Strategieprozess der Benutzungsabteilung an der SUB Göttingen
No full textRückläufige Ausleihen, steigende Besucherzahlen, sinkende Anfragen nach bibliothekarischen Auskünften stehen einer steigenden Zahl an Beratungen in der Literaturrecherche und -verwaltung und neuerdings auch zu Statistikprogrammen, Programmiersprachen und einem größeren Bedarf an Förderung digitaler Kompetenzen von universitärer Seite gegenüber – alle diese Faktoren bedingen eine Neuausrichtung der klassischen Benutzung in Bibliotheken. Die Benutzungsabteilung der SUB wurde in den letzten Jahren personell gestrafft und das Profil stärker auf Basisdienstleistungen konzentriert, um neue Themenfelder in anderen Bereichen der SUB erschließen zu können. Dies führte zu einer Prioritätenverschiebung und einem Bedeutungsverlust einiger Servicebereiche, so dass Mitte 2018 die Benutzungsabteilung einen Strategieprozess startete, um mit Hilfe verschiedener Methoden und Fragestellungen die Handlungsfelder der Abteilung zu analysieren, Zukunftsperspektiven zu erarbeiten, sowohl Potentiale, als auch Herausforderungen zu ermitteln und schließlich daraus resultierende Maßnahmen zu planen und umzusetzen. Der Artikel beschreibt den Weg zu einer Strategie der Benutzungsabteilung und deren Umsetzungsperspektive im Rahmen der Strategie der SUB Göttingen 2018-2021 unter Beteiligung der gesamten Abteilung.A decline in lending, an increasing number of visitors and decreasing inquiries at the reference desk stand in contrast to an increasing number of consultations about literature search and reference management, and, more recently, about statistics, programming and, on an university-wide level, digital skills in general. All of these factors require a reorientation of traditional library user services. In recent years, the Göttingen State and University Library's user services department was streamlined in terms of staff and its profile concentrated more strongly on basic services to allow opening up new fields of action in other areas of the Göttingen State and University Library. This led to a shift in priorities and a loss of significance for some service areas, so that in mid-2018 the user services department started a strategic process. The aim was to analyse the fields of action of the department with various methods and questions in order to work out future perspectives, identify both potentials and challenges and finally plan and implement the resulting measures and projects. This article describes the strategy process of the user services department within the overall strategy of the Göttingen State and University Library 2018–2021, which involved the entire department in this participatory process
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
