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
Ethical Implications of AI in Rural Tourism: Privacy and Data Security Concerns
No full text<p><strong><span>Abstract: </span></strong><span>With AI on the rise in rural tourism, ethical considerations, especially privacy and data security, demand attention. This paper explores these challenges to build trust and responsible AI use. We analyse legal frameworks for privacy in rural tourism, examining how existing regulations fit the unique needs of these destinations. We then investigate how AI intensifies concerns around data collection, storage, and usage. Considering the data security dynamics of AI, the paper explores vulnerabilities to breaches and cyber-attacks in rural tourism systems. It assesses risks arising from increased interconnectedness, considering both tourists and local communities. By highlighting these ethical implications, the paper sheds light on potential risks for rural destinations with AI. By addressing these challenges, stakeholders can work together to establish strong privacy protections, promote responsible AI use, and safeguard rights for all involved in rural tourism. </span></p>

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
Conflict Management for Innovation and Top Management Teams
No full text<p><strong><span>Abstract: </span></strong><span>For growing firms to be able to adapt and innovate, top management teams may be essential. The performance of top management teams is said to be enhanced by conflict and diversity, according to a number of streams of strategy research. This research offers a new viewpoint on important conflict antecedents, mediators, and outcomes in the surroundings of the innovation process by operating from the premise that conflict is complex, multidimensional, and context-specific. This study makes the argument that top management teams' ability to effectively lead organizational innovation can be strongly influenced by the way they handle conflict. The management of conflict (cooperative, competitive, and avoiding) and productive conflict (result of conflict) were assessed by 300 executives from 110 firms in Delhi. These firms indicated their team’s effectiveness and their organization’s innovativeness. The hypothesis that conflict management can help top management teams be more effective is supported by the findings. According to structural equation analysis, managing conflict helps top management teams function more effectively, which in turn leads to organizational innovation.</span></p>

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
