Project knowledge management while simply playing! Gaming mechanics in project knowledge management systems
No full textProject knowledge management underlies many issues: lacking time and high ef-fort for documenting project insights, less motivation of project team members to share their knowledge, or the “not-invented-here-syndrome” when employees should reuse project-related knowledge. In consequence, mistakes will be repeated or already known solutions will be reinvented. Since many years, researchers fo-cus their studies in knowledge management in order to solve such issues. Some re-searchers try to understand reasons for insufficient knowledge management or determine factors influencing knowledge creation, documentation, transfer and reuse. Others design information systems aiming to support individuals, teams or organizations to manage what they know. However, as far as we know, no re-searcher considers gamification as possible mechanism to engage and motivate project teams to manage their project-related insights. Although our research orig-inally did not consider gamification we intuitively implemented some typical gamification elements in order to engage individuals to participate in project knowledge management
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
Investigando patrones de viaje de turistas chinos en Western Australia : generación de rutas
Full text linkLos visitantes chinos juegan un papel crucial en la industria turística de WA, pero hay un número limitado de publicaciones sobre este tema específico. El sector turístico de Australia Occidental tiene diferencias considerables con el sector de los estados del este (centro de Sydney-Melbourne-Brisbane). Como Australia Occidental ofrece ciertos destinos turísticos específicos, es necesario contrastar lo que se requiere y lo que se puede ofrecer a través de las cadenas de valor locales. Se utilizarán herramientas de la cadena de suministro como el análisis de datos, la generación de rutas prototipo y el análisis de la cadena de valor para reunir más conocimiento sobre los turistas chinos de vacaciones, evaluar sus necesidades cuando viajan por Australia Occidental y proponer soluciones para la cadena de suministro.Chinese visitors play a crucial role in WA’s tourism industry, but there are a limited
number of publications on this specific topic. Western Australia’s tourism sector has
considerable differences to the eastern states’ (Sydney-Melbourne-Brisbane hub)
sector. As Western Australia offers certain specific tourist destinations, it is necessary
to contrast what is required and what can be offered through the local value chains.
Supply chain tools such as data analytics, prototype routes generation and value chain
analysis will be used to gather more knowledge about the Chinese holiday tourists,
evaluate their needs when traveling around Western Australia and propose supply
chain solutions.Perú. Programa Nacional de Becas y Crédito Educativo (Pronabec) : Beca Presidente de la RepúblicaTrabajo de investigació
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
