Replication Data for: “Wow, I didn’t know these options existed": Understanding Tenure-Track Start-Up Packages
No full textStart-up packages vary enormously, particularly across institutions, and not all faculty know what items they may negotiate for to support their probationary period. To demystify this part of the hidden curriculum, we discuss the different components of start-up packages and other benefits that may be provided to new faculty at the time of hire. We focus on five broad topics: compensation and personal support, general support, research support, teaching support, and service and professional development. Drawing on the results of a survey of tenure-track assistant political science professors in the United States, we also provide an overview of the prevalence a variety of items at different types of institutions and discuss other considerations in the negotiation process to close the knowledge gap for candidates during negotiations

Replication Data for: Quitting Globalization: Trade-Related Job Losses, Nationalism, and Resistance to FDI in the United States
No full textExisting research has found that American politicians benefit from trying to attract investment and creates jobs. In this paper, we build on this work by describing the drivers of Americans’ attitudes towards inward foreign investment (FDI). We posit that foreign and Chinese investment are different than domestic investment in the public imagination, and that nationalism and proximity to deindustrialization interact to shape public opinion about them. We propose and test two theories of this interaction using a survey experiment that randomizes whether a respondent is responding to a statement about “business investment”, “foreign business investment”, or “Chinese business investment”. We find that 1) Americans are skeptical of business investments by Chinese, and, to lesser degree, “foreign” firms; 2) the gap in enthusiasm for generic business investment and foreign/Chinese business investment rises with local trade-related job losses; and 3) the distinction between nationalists’ and non-nationalists’ attitudes towards FDI declines in local job losses

Replication Data for: Understanding Variation in Start-Up Funds
No full textRecent research in political science has uncovered and theorized about inequalities
within the field. In this paper, we explore a lesser publicly discussed difference that
likely impacts the research process: start-up funding. We surveyed assistant professors
in U.S. political science departments about their start-up packages, and we find that
characteristics of the institution, prestige of the researcher’s Ph.D. alma mater, and
having competing offers predict receiving a start-up fund at all and receiving more
research money in that start-up fund. The evidence also suggests that women’s offers
are more sensitive to alma mater prestige, with women from the least prestigious
alma maters receiving less funding than men from similarly ranked schools. Notably,
publishing more does not seem to help women or men, suggesting that women from
low-prestige departments in particular cannot work their way out of this disadvantage
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
