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
Enhancing Customer Loyalty Through UX-centric CRM Strategies
Get PDFThis research is a research-based bachelor thesis conducted by the author to explore how businesses can use user-centered design (UCD) principles to improve customer relationship management (CRM) systems and, in turn, boost customer loyalty and retention.
The research explores the practical implications of integrating UCD principles into CRM strategies. Drawing from the theoretical framework and real data and insights gathered from different sources in addition to qualitative structured interviews with industry experts, the research demonstrates that businesses implementing user experience (UX) principles, such as ensuring good usability, designing simple user interfaces (UI), facilitating easy feature usage, and gathering user feedback, can significantly improve customer experiences. These enhancements foster customer loyalty and retention, crucial factors in today's customer-centric business environment.
This research consists of an introductory chapter presenting the research background, objectives, research, methods, and key concepts. The second chapter discusses the literature review, covering key topics such as CRM, UX, and UCD and the connection between these areas. The third chapter presents the empirical part of this research, including the research implementation and structured interviews with industry experts highlighting the key findings. Lastly, the fourth chapter presents the research results and findings and closes with practical recommendations for businesses to effectively incorporate UCD principles in their CRM strategies.
In conclusion, this research addresses the importance of integrating UCD principles into CRM strategies. It provides practical insights for businesses seeking a deeper understanding of how UCD can improve CRM systems and foster customer loyalty. By understanding and addressing user needs through UCD principles, businesses can transform their CRM systems into powerful tools for building customer loyalty and achieving sustainable business growth.
The research contributes to the sustainable ongoing discourse on effective CRM strategies, empowering businesses with insights to optimise their CRM systems and cultivate enduring customer relationships. The research process enriched the author's understanding of CRM, UX, and UCD, fostering both personal and professional growth. Exploring these crucial business topics has fostered a greater understanding of customer relationships and the impact of design on business success. The research process further refined the author's critical thinking and analytical skills, equipping them for future business endeavours
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
