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

Is the sharing economy about sharing at all? A linguistic analysis of Airbnb reviews
Full text linkThe sharing economy manifesto emphasises sharing underused resources as a means to build stronger communities. This manifesto has however received strong critiques that claim these markets are all about access as opposed to sharing, and that consumers are after utilitarian, as opposed to social, value. Being able to assess whether an economy is about access or sharing has important implications for how companies operate, and compete, in this space. To help shed light onto this, we perform a linguistic analysis of the reviews that peers in a sharing economy platform leave to one another. We take Airbnb in U.S. as a use case, and identify the main themes that peers discuss in their reviews from 2012 to 2016. We find that, as one expects, utilitarian values (e.g., properties' facilities, convenience of location, business conduct) have been discussed much more frequently than social values (e.g., guest/host interactions), and, more interestingly, this gap has substantially increased over the years
