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
Związki zawodowe a zjawisko patologii organizacji na przykładzie przedsiębiorstwa NEWAG S.A. w Nowym Sączu
Get PDFPrzedmiotem rozważań jest działalność związków zawodowych jako źródła patologii organizacyjnych. Analiza została przeprowadzona na podstawie przedsiębiorstwa NEWAG S.A. w Nowym Sączu. W pracy postawiono tezę, że związki zawodowe mogą być źródłem patologii organizacyjnych i działają na niekorzyść przedsiębiorstwa. W celu jej weryfikacji przeprowadzono ankietę wśród pracowników przedsiębiorstwa, wywiad z przewodniczącym związku zawodowego oraz z vice-prezesem NEWAG-u. Dokonano również analizy korespondencji pomiędzy związkiem zawodowym a zarządem firmy. Ustalono, że związek zawodowy blokuje wprowadzanie poważnych zmian w przedsiębiorstwie, przede wszystkim w zakresie zatrudnienia, blokuje również ważne rozwiązania z punktu widzenia strategii przedsiębiorstwa, nie dając pełnego pola manewru dla władz. Ta destrukcyjna rola, działającego przy Newag S.A. związku zawodowego jest źródłem patologii organizacyjnej.The subject of the discussion is the activity of trade unions as a source of organizational pathology. The analysis was conducted based on NEWAG SA company in Nowy Sącz. In the diploma work the presented thesis is: trade unions can be a source of organizational pathology and operate against the company. In order to verify the thesis the survey was conducted among employees of the company, the chairman of the trade union and the Vice-President of NEWAG were interviewed. Additionally the correspondence between the trade union and management board of the company has been examined. It was agreed that the union blocked the introduction of major changes in the company, especially in terms of employment, blocking solutions that are important from the strategical point of view, not giving a full room for maneuver for the authorities. This destructive role of the trade union acting in Newag S.A. is a source of organizational pathology
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
Trois modèles de femmes errantes dans «Magnus» de Sylvie Germain
No full textIf Sylvie Germain's works are well known to literary critics, the theme of wandering, which holds an important place in her writings, remains relatively unexplored. This thesis studies the theme of wandering by presenting it firstly within the body of the writer's oeuvre, and then, by examining more thoroughly its relation to the female character in the novel, Magnus. This analysis proposes three models of wandering women: the alienated woman, the adventurer and the criminal.Si l'oeuvre de Sylvie Germain est bien connue des critiques littéraires, la thématique de l'errance, qui occupe une place principale dans son écriture, demeure relativement inexplorée. Le présent mémoire étudie l'errance en présentant le thème dans l'oeuvre de l'écrivaine et, ensuite, en examinant, plus particulièrement, son rapport avec le personnage féminin dans le roman Magnus. Cette analyse propose trois modèles de femmes errantes : la femme aliénée, l'aventurière et la criminelle
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
