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
IPO in family business: A systematic review and directions for future research
No full textThe transition from private to public ownership through the process of going public (i.e. initial public offering, or IPO) has attracted scholarly attention because of the governance, strategic and financial challenges and changes that firms face to achieve favourable valuations from equity markets. This is especially true for family companies, resulting in growing interest in the subject from family business scholars. This study systematically reviews existing research on IPOs in family businesses and assesses the state of the art in this field. It examines scholarly articles published in academic peer-reviewed journals from 1995 to 2020 and identifies research streams on the topic. It then systematizes the existing knowledge on IPOs in family firms through an input–process–output model that conceptually overlaps with IPO phases. This organizes the papers under investigation across four levels of analysis (firm, family, individual, and contextual levels). The article contributes to both research and practice by providing a useful theoretical driven model to guide future research efforts on IPOs in family businesses and suggesting specific policy interventions to support the listing process of family firms
Women and E-health in public hospitals: Empirical evidence on top and line managers
No full textWithin the public management literature, this paper analyses the contribution of
women in top and line managerial positions for the public hospital’s innovation in
terms of e-Health. It empirically examines Italian public hospitals and uses a combined
measure of innovation by relying on different e-Health solutions. Findings show that
female managers, especially when characterized by a legal background, foster the
implementation of innovative strategies and facilitate the e-Health adoption.
However, results report that gender similarity increases the rivalry between top
management team and line managers thus limiting the adoption of e-Health
solutions
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
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
