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
The impact of psychological safety climate on individual safety performance in the Malaysian manufacturing small enterprise: the role of psychological factor and psychological work ownership
Get PDFSmall Medium Enterprises have been recognized as a back bone of Malaysia economic.Instead of
significant contribution to the national economy, their contribution to the total occupational accident substantially high.This present work aims to investigate the role of psychological work ownership and psychological factors in the relationship between safety climate and safety performance (individual level) in the Malaysian manufacturing small enterprise.Random stratified sampling design was successfully implemented
in Malaysian manufacturing small enterprise involving 11 firms in seven districts of the East Coast Region of Malaysia.The model revealed a significant positive relationship between psychological safety climate positively and individual safety performance.Results based on a sample of 240 employees supported the
conceptual framework, indicating that the effect of psychological factors and psychological work ownership has an essential practical role in, encourages psychological safety climate, with subsequent prediction of individual safety performance events mediated by psychological safety climate. Implications for theory,
practical and recommendation research on psychological climate, ownership, and performance for further research are discussed
Mediating effect of psychological safety climate in the relationship between psychological factors and individual safety performance in the Malaysian manufacturing small enterprises
Get PDFSME is a backbone of Malaysian economic development, however high number of occupational accident and injuries are major financial issues.
Many meta-analysis of the safety climate and safety performance consistently indicated that associate with the reduction in the number of
accident occurrence in the organization.Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the mediating effects of on psychological safety climate in the relationship between psychological factors and individual safety performance in the Malaysian manufacturing small enterprise. Quantitative research using self-administrative questionnaires have been conducted on 377 employees from 11 small manufacturing enterprise firms based on stratified random sampling. The response rate was at 65 % from 240 returned questionnaires.The results of a preliminary validation showed that the scale is a reliable and valid instrument to measure the essential elements
of psychological safety climate for Malaysian manufacturing small enterprise.The result confirmed that here were strong positive correlations between psychological safety climate and individual safety performance. As
predicted, psychological safety climate found to be directly influenced by psychological factor but psychological factor not directly correlated with
individual safety performance.Besides that, the findings of this study revealed that psychological safety climate significantly mediated the
relationship between psychological factor and individual safety performance.Finally, the implications and suggestions for future studies and practice 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
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
