Size Recommendations in Online Fashion Retail - Opportunities and Challenges
No full textThis paper describes the e-Size project as well as presenting the preliminary results of its exploratory
survey administered to a sample of customers in the attempt to establish whether the integration of a size
recommendation application into a menswear fashion retail website had been successfully achieved by
verifying the size recommendations made by the application. From the preliminary findings, it emerges
that all participants found the size recommendation application easy to use. The majority of participants
received the correct size recommendation from the application, and would be willing to use the application
due to its helpfulness in providing a size recommendation when shopping online. However, users’
personal style and fit preference is an important factor, irrespective of the size that fits them correctly by
integrating additional garment and fit information into the application, retailers can ensure every user
will be able to receive a tailored recommendation that meets both their size and personal style preference

No full textThis paper describes the e-Size project, its objectives, its contribution to specific innovation areas, the methodological approach adopted, as well as presenting the preliminary results of an exploratory survey administered to a convenience sample of customers in the attempt to assess the potential validity of the use of the sizing applications amongst fashion retailers. Our findings illustrate that all of the participants found that the sizing application was helpful because of the size recommendation for online shopping. Most of the participants agreed that the recommended sizes were accurate. They also found the experience to be easy and straightforward. Nonetheless, there is room for improvement
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
