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
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
The Role of Affect in Understanding Leaders’ Influence on Followers and How Followers Can Influence Leaders
No full textLeadership is one important element that organizations enact to garner effective behaviors and superior performance from employees. Researchers continuously look for the ways through which leaders can influence their followers. During the last couple of decades, much research has focused on the role of leaders' affect (e.g., experience and expression of moods and emotions) in influencing followers' work outcomes. However, the complexities of leadership affective influences, which is likely to involve multiple underlying mechanisms and contextual factors facilitating (hindering) leader-follower affect transfer, are not well understood. Since followers play an essential role in the creation and operations of leadership, there are theoretical possibilities of followers' affective influences on leaders, but empirical evidence is scant. This thesis aims to explore the role of leadership and followership affective influences through the affective and cognitive mechanisms on various outcome variables.
This is a thesis by manuscripts and is based on one review paper (Chapter 4) and four empirical papers (Chapter 5-8). Therefore, the majority of the chapters, although related, are standalone papers. These papers are under review or final manuscripts submitted to targeted journals, as indicated at the start of each chapter. Chapters 1 and 2 provide the rationale, detailed literature review of leadership and affect research and related theoretical approaches to explain relationships. From this review, broad research questions are developed that bind all papers of the thesis. Chapter 3 briefly describe the methodology of the five separate papers.
Paper 1 (Chapter 4), a mapping review based on review and theoretical articles dated 2005-2020, provides an integrative review of leadership and affect theory and evidence, resulting in the identification of four running themes: leaders' affect and followers' outcomes, leadership and emotional labor, affective influences of non-affective leadership, and affect reciprocity and follower affective influences. This review then proposes two general frameworks that can help shape future research on the role of affect in leadership and followership. Paper 1 also outlined the improved methodologies to examine the phenomena of affect in field studies along with looking at leadership/followership affective influences through the lens of emotions as social information theory (EASI: Van Kleef, 2009).
Building on Paper 1, leadership affective influences on followers are explored in Paper 2-4 (Chapter 5-7), and followers' affective influences in Paper 5 (Chapter 8) using the EASI theory as a theoretical lens to understand the relationships. Paper 2 focus on how leader positive and negative affect influence followers' affective experiences and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) using time-lagged data of a leader-follower sample. Paper 3 explored the influence of leader surface and deep acting (e.g., leader emotional labor) on followers' work engagement using time-lagged data of a leaders-followers sample. Paper 3 focus on combining affective and non-affective behaviors of leaders (e.g., leadership interpersonal justice) and examine the influence on followers' job satisfaction using daily diary data across five days. Theoretically, these papers (Paper 2-4, Chapter 5-7) tested the underlying mechanisms of leader to followers affective influences, which are further contingent on individual and situational factors. Overall, findings support the beneficial effects of leader positive affective display, using deep acting and doing interpersonal justice. Interestingly, some results indicate the potential effectiveness of leader negative affect (e.g., performance-related worries/sadness) for followers, but only under certain contextual factors such as when followers' have high emotional intelligence and leaders' have a high tendency to express genuine emotions.
Paper 5 (Chapter 8) explored how followers' positive and negative affect can influence leaders' support behaviors through affective and cognitive reactions of leaders using a two-sample design and time-lagged data. Results support the direct influence of followers' affect on leaders and partial support for indirect impacts. Throughout the empirical papers, mediation and moderations effects were tested and supported. In general, the findings of this thesis revealed that it is essential to consider multiple facets of leadership affective influences (e.g., positive and negative affective display, emotional labor, and affective influences of non-affective behaviors). Notably, all of these facets of leadership affective influences are not straightforward, but operates through affective and cognitive processes, and can be contingent on the individual (leader and follower) and contextual factors of the leader-follower relationship. Similarly, follower affective influences can travel through direct and indirect pathways to influence leaders, and this influence is also contingent on context.
Overall, this thesis contributes to the leadership and affect literature by providing an integrative review and identifying research gaps, which are then empirically tested. Findings based on diverse samples, predominantly from Pakistan, using various methodologies including daily diary and time-lagged multilevel designs, provide robust evidence around the leadership and followership affective influences. Under EASI theory, this thesis contributes to understanding around the precise underlying mechanisms and contextual factors that facilitate leader-to-follower affective influences, and also shed light on the rarely explored upward affective influences from followers to leaders. These findings have solid theoretical implications, including testing much of the EASI theory assertions around the parallel presence of affective and inferential processes in interpersonal affect transmission, and managerial implications around the realization of affect-based influences in leadership and followership process and outcomes

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
