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
Burnout and workplace aggression : a longitudinal study with nursing staff
No full textLes managers et les chercheurs s’intéressent de plus en plus à la compréhension du burnout au travail ainsi qu’à ses causes et ses conséquences. L’étude du burnout semble d’autant plus cruciale que ce risque psychosocial peut motiver des comportements agressifs à l’encontre des individus au travail et de l’organisation. Même si la relation entre burnout et agressivité semble évidente, peu d’études ont cherché à étudier les rouages de cette association. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc de suivre de manière processuelle la relation burnout/agressivité au travail auprès d’un échantillon de personnel soignant. Le modèle testé se base sur la théorie de conservation des ressources du stress (Hobfoll, 1989) et sur la théorie émotionnelle de l’agressivité (Fox & Spector, 1999) et met en relation des variables organisationnelles et individuelles. Les hypothèses sont testées par le biais d’une étude longitudinale sur trois temps de mesure. Les résultats mettent en avant le rôle déterminant de l’épuisement émotionnel dans ce processus au détriment de ceux de la fatigue physique et de la lassitude cognitive. Seul l’épuisement émotionnel médiatise la relation entre certains facteurs de stress (charge quantitative de travail, ambiguïté de rôle et conflits interpersonnels) et l’agressivité à l’encontre des patients et de l’organisation. Les résultats montrent également que le rôle modérateur des ressources sociales reste mitigé dans l’atténuation du burnout et que la peur de la sanction est un frein indéniable des comportements d’agressivité. Les contributions théoriques de cette recherche, les implications managériales ainsi que les voies futures de recherche sont discutées.Burnout becomes a major concern at work appealing managers’ and researchers’ attention to its causes and consequences. In particular, burnout may act as a trigger of employees’ workplace aggressive behaviors towards individuals and organizations. Despite its relevance, little is known about the interplay between burnout and workplace aggressive behaviors. This doctoral dissertation aims to fill this gap by examining the dynamic processes relating burnout to aggression at work. Drawing upon the conservation of resources theory of stress (Hobfoll, 1989) and emotional-based theories of workplace aggression (Fox & Spector, 1999), we develop and test an integrative model including organizational and individual variables. A 3-wave longitudinal field study is conducted with a sample of nursing staff. Results highlight the mediating role of emotional exhaustion between relevant stressors (quantitative workload, role ambiguity and interpersonal conflicts) and aggressive behaviors towards patients and the organization. Little support is found for the buffering effects of social resources between stressors and burnout; whereas the fear of punishment exerts an inhibiting effect on aggressive behaviors. Theoretical contributions, managerial implications and avenues for future research are discussed

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
