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
An investigation of the influence of working hours and income on employee's subjective well-being
No full textThe objective of this research is to gauge the well-being of employees by considering the factors income and working hours. In the literature part, working hours and income are first defined and explained in more detail before the results of various studies on the influence of wage, working hours and working time models on the biopsychosocial well-being are presented. In the second part of the present study 318 sample of employees from different industries mainly in the DACH region are investigated whether income and working hours have an influence on the biopsychosocial well-being. Applying correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis and moderation effects of working hours on income, the main findings are as follows: (1) Internally, a fair salary structure matters more than the absolute amount. The use of the Lorenz Curve, the Palma Ratio or the comparison with industry peers via salary portals might help a lot to foster fair income. (2) The timing of working hours matters more than the total hours worked. While key figures may not fully capture this due to GDPR restrictions, some legally extractable variables from the HRIS system can provide a rough overview for HR departments. (3) Those who work longer hours tend to desire higher earnings. This can also be quantified using key figures. (4) The absolute income and working hours do not significantly impact biopsychosocial well-being and cannot serve as key figures for well-being in the DACH region.Gerold ReisingerMasterarbeit Universität Klagenfurt, Universitätslehrgang Business Manager/in 2024Zusammenfassung in deutscher Sprach

Get PDFDie vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Bemessung einer
Scher-Lochleibungsverbindung. Die Nachweisführung erfolgt anhand der Bemessungsgrundlage der europäischen Norm EN 1993-1-8 aus dem Eurocode 3 und der FKM-Richtline. Diese Arbeit soll einen Vergleich zwischen den Bemessungsmethoden aus Maschinenbau und Stahlbau liefern. Zusätzlich soll eine Methode aufgezeigt werden für eine mögliche zukünftige Weiterentwicklung der FKM-RichtlinieThis diplomathesis is about the design of a bearing stress shear joint using the european standard EN 1993-1-8 from the Eurocode 3 and the FKM guideline. The purpose of this diplomathesis is to compare the design standards of mechanical and structural engineering. Additionally a possible future further development of the FKM guideline shall be shown by this diplomathesis
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
