Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Analysis of audit risks specific to public procurements
Full text linkPublic procurement deserves special attention. Every error, fraud, mounting of corruption increases the debt and undermines democracy. Auditors must have a good knowledge of the pitfalls that are present in this area and how to protect themselves from them. The objective of this paper is to identify the various risks inherent in the public procurement procedure in Morocco. We were able to identify three major risks. This is, first of all, to identify the risks related to the internal control system, then, to identify the risks inherent in public procurement. Finally, identify the auditor's risks
Organizational Resilience and Crisis Management in Public Administration: Insights from Morocco’s Response to COVID-19, the Al-Haouz Earthquake and Floods under a New Public Governance Framework
No full textThis study explores the mechanisms of organizational resilience in public administration through the lens of three critical managerial dimensions: time, information and human resources. Anchored in the theoretical framework of New Public Governance (NPG), it investigates how these dimensions shaped the responses of Moroccan public organizations during three major crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, the Al-Haouz earthquake and nationwide floods.
Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines insights from semi-structured interviews with senior public-sector officials and a quantitative analysis based on secondary crisis data. Findings from the qualitative phase reveal how the capacity to manage temporal dynamics, mobilize and protect human capital and navigate information flows were central to adaptive performance.
The study introduces a conceptual model — the “Resilience Triad” — illustrating how these three variables interact systemically to foster or hinder organizational resilience. Comparative analysis across crises demonstrates distinct patterns of success and failure depending on the alignment of time sensitivity, staff engagement and data reliability. This article contributes to both public management theory and crisis governance literature by emphasizing the interdependence of soft managerial capacities in turbulent environments. It also offers practical guidance to policymakers seeking to strengthen crisis preparedness and response mechanisms through human-centered and data-driven approaches.
Limitations and directions for future research are discussed, particularly the need for longitudinal and cross- country comparative studies.
