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
Gelir Eşitsizliği, Refah ve Mutluluk
Get PDFanemonDünyadagelir eşitsizliğinin artması, büyüme, yaşam memnuniyeti, mutluluk ve gelişmekonuları açısından eşitliğin öneminin, tartışmaların temel konusu halinegelmesine neden olmuştur. Eskiden mutluluk konusu sadece psikoloji bilimialtında incelenirken, son zamanlarda ekonomi ile de ilişkilendirilmeyebaşlanmıştır. Gelir dağılımında adalet olması, yoksulluğu azaltaraksürdürülebilir bir kalkınma sağlar. Bu da bir toplumun refah seviyesininartırılmasının en önemli koşuludur. Bu çalışmada da refahın ve mutluğun gelireşitsizliğinden ne şekilde etkilendiği literatür araştırmasına dayalı olarakbelirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. OECD ülkelerinde gelir eşitsizliğini belirlemedekullanılan Gini katsayısı ve mutluluk endeksleri incelendiğinde, gelir dağılımıeşitsizliğinin az olduğu ülkelerde mutluluk ve refah seviyesinin de daha yüksekolduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.Deepening inequality has become the subject of intense debates, particularly on growth, life satisfaction, happiness and development in world.In the past, happiness was studied only under the conscience of psychology, butrecently it has begun to be associated with the economy. Income equality whichis a precondition for increasing the level of wealth lowers poverty and ensuressustainable development. And this studyaims to determine well-being and happiness indicators related to literature.When Gini coefficient that is used to determine income inequality and happinessindex are examined in OECD countries, in generally happiness level is higher ifincome inequality is low. 32263
Life Satisfaction and Job Quality Relationship: Findings from the OECD Countries for Linear Regression Models
No full textOne of the basic components of life satisfaction, which means an individual satisfaction with their living conditions as a whole, is job quality. Therefore, job quality reflects a combination of employees’ earnings and job security, as well as other factors affecting their quality of life. Especially after the 2008 Global Economic Crisis, increasing worries on job quality boosted the interest of some academic circles and international organizations on job quality, and various studies were conducted to measure job quality. One of these studies is the OECD’s Job Quality Framework, consisting of three dimensions and nine indicators. Particularly, dimensions of OECD’s Job Quality Framework are structured on earning quality, labor market insecurity, and work environment quality. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between life satisfaction scores and job quality indicators by carrying out bivariate and multiple linear regression models to Job Quality Framework data from OECD countries. Bivariate linear regression results revealed that OECD countries with higher life satisfaction scores have a higher job quality. In addition, multivariate linear regression analysis concludes that increased employment rate, earning quality, job autonomy and learning opportunities, and career advancement opportunity may improve life satisfaction scores of countries at varying degrees
