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
Personality and Conflict on Teams
No full textIn this project, we examine how personality characteristics contribute to status conflict in work teams. Specifically, we examine how and why personalities driven by a grandiose sense of self - narcissists - may contribute to or reduce conflict based on one's relative position within a status hierarchy. To do so, we examine agentic and communal narcissists, those who respectively support their grandiose personalities through behaviors that confirm their agentic or communal superiority. We hypothesize that the drive to claim credit for behaviors to confirm one's superiority that is at the heart of narcissistic self-regulation is not ubiquitous across all contexts. Instead, narcissistic demands are conditional on the types of tasks and feedback that work groups find themselves, suggesting that narcissism is positively related to status conflict in some context, whereas negatively related to it in others
Good Feelings For Bad Deeds - Suggested Reciprocity
No full textThis research seeks to understand how positive emotions, specifically feelings of gratitude, help direct the responses of beneficiaries to the dishonesty of others. Drawing on work showing that individuals react positively to the unethical behavior, particularly that which benefits them directly, this research seeks to understand why gratitude my arise from others dishonest actions. The project seeks to understand why beneficiaries may feel gratitude for the dishonesty of others, the boundaries of these reactions, and what sort of dishonest behaviors invite or suppress gratitude. Finally, this work seeks to understand how gratitude for the dishonesty of others is uniquely linked to positive reinforcement, helping to explain how these behaviors may be reinforced and encouraged by those who benefit from them
Good Feelings for Bad Deeds - Obvious vs Subtle Dishonesty

Drawing on work showing that individuals react positively to the dishonesty of others, particularly that which benefits them directly, this research seeks to understand why gratitude may arise from others’ dishonesty. The project to seeks to understand why beneficiaries feel gratitude for the dishonesty of others, what are the boundaries of these reactions, and what sort of unethical behavior reduces of gratitude, reducing positive reinforcing behaviors
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
