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
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
A conciliação trabalho família e a satisfação geral com a vida : perceções de homens e mulheres fundadores de startups
Get PDFA presente investigação enquadra-se na análise da problemática da Conciliação Trabalho-Família e da Satisfação Geral com a Vida, abordada a partir da perspetiva de fundadores de startups. O estudo, de carater exploratório, teve como principal objetivo compreender de que forma a perceção da relação trabalho-família de homens e mulheres fundadores de startups se relaciona com a sua perceção geral de satisfação com a vida. A investigação de cariz qualitativo, foi realizada com base em oito entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, seguindo-se a análise temática como técnica utilizada no tratamento dos
dados. Os resultados sugerem que embora os participantes apontem uma elevada perceção de conflito trabalho-família, experienciam igualmente uma elevada satisfação geral com a vida. Apresentam-se algumas implicações práticas dos resultados obtidos, assim como as limitações e sugestões para futuras investigações.The present investigation focuses on the analysis of the Work-Family balance and on the Life Satisfaction when looked at from the perspective of startups founders. This study's main purpose was to understand how the perception of the work-family relationship of startup founders, is related to their general perception of life satisfaction. This study is based on qualitative research, where eight individual semi-structured
interviews were developed, followed by thematic analysis, as a technique used in the data treatment.
Thus, the results, for this sample, suggest that despite the evidence of work-family conflict, they experience greater overall life satisfaction. There are some practical implications in the results obtained, as well as the limitations and suggestions for future investigations
Relação trabalho-família
No full textCom a presente investigação pretende-se perceber de que forma o suporte organizacional influencia a conciliação trabalho – família, nomeadamente o enriquecimento ou o conflito resultante desta relação, assim como os comportamentos de cidadania organizacional. Por outro lado, procura se estabelecer também a relação entre a conciliação trabalho – família, os seus conflitos e/ou o seu enriquecimento com os comportamentos de cidadania organizacional. Este estudo privilegia uma abordagem de natureza quantitativa partindo de uma análise correlacional das variáveis em estudo. A amostra é constituída por 98 rececionistas da área de hotelaria e como instrumento de recolha foi utilizado um questionário, partilhado nos estabelecimentos de trabalho dos participantes. A análise dos dados foi efetuada com recurso ao software SPSS 25.0. Os resultados demonstraram que um maior conflito trabalho – família está associado a uma menor perceção de suporte organizacional e comportamentos de cidadania e que o enriquecimento trabalho – família está associado a uma maior perceção de suporte organizacional e comportamentos de cidadania.This research aims to understand how organizational support influences work - family reconciliation, namely the enrichment or conflict resulting from this relationship, as well as the behaviours of organizational citizenship. On the other hand, we also seek to establish the relationship between work - family reconciliation, its conflicts and / or its enrichment with organizational citizenship behaviours. In this study a quantitative approach based on a correlational analysis of the variables under study was used. The sample consisted of 98 hospitality receptionists and a questionnaire was used as a collection tool, and the data were collected in-person at the participants workplaces. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software. The results showed that a greater work - family conflict is associated with a lower perception of organizational support and citizenship behaviours and that work - family enrichment is associated with a greater perception of organizational support and citizenship behaviours
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
