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
Steigerung unternehmensinterner Kundenzentrierung mittels des Costumer Journey Mappings am Beispiel des Konzerneinkaufs der Deutsche Post DHL Group
No full textIm Zuge des digitalen Wandels steigt die Notwendigkeit für Unternehmen, die eigene Innovationskraft zu fördern. Durch eine Feedback-Kultur haben Unternehmen die Möglichkeit, aus internen sowie externen Quellen neue Ideen zu schöpfen. Dies gilt gleichermaßen für Dienstleister, die ihre Leistungen an Kunden innerhalb der Unternehmensorganisation anbieten.
Für die Messung der Zufriedenheit mit internen Dienstleistern führt die Deutsche Post DHL Group jährlich eine quantitative Befragung durch. Im Jahr 2017 zeigte die Befragung zum Teil Schwächen im Hinblick auf die Dienstleistungen des Konzerneinkaufs auf. Aufgrund dessen wurde eine tiefergehende, qualitative Befragung durchgeführt, um zu ermitteln, wie die Kundenzentrierung im Einkauf gesteigert werden kann. Hierzu wurden interne Kunden des Konzerneinkaufs der Deutsche Post DHL Group befragt. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage lautete dabei: Welche Erwartungen haben interne Kunden in den Kontaktpunkten zum Einkauf und wodurch entsteht Begeisterung?
Mithilfe der Customer Journey Map-Methode wurden wesentliche Verbesserungspotenziale in Bezug auf die Einkaufsdienstleistung herausgestellt. Hierzu gehören der Aufbau eines internen Kundenmanagements, die Strukturierung der Kommunikation an unternehmensinterne Kunden, die Schaffung von Transparenz über die Aktivitäten des Einkaufs sowie der Aufbau von tieferem Fachwissen in den jeweiligen Einkaufskategorien. Anhand der Untersuchung konnten Empfehlung formuliert werden, die eine gesteigerte Kundenzentrierung im Konzerneinkauf ermöglichen wie zum Beispiel die Einführung eines einheitlichen Kundenbeziehungsmanagements. Die Ergebnisse der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse wiesen schließlich darauf hin, dass der Einkauf sich in einem Rollenkonflikt wiederfindet und kundenzentrierte Ansätze angesichts der einstigen Rolle des Konzerneinkaufs abgewogen werden müssen.In the course of digital transformation, the need for companies to improve their innovative capabilities increases. Through a feedback culture, companies have the opportunity to acquire new ideas from internal as well as external sources. This also applies to service providers who offer their services internally to customers within the corporation.
In order to measure customer satisfaction with internal service providers, Deutsche Post DHL Group conducts a quantitative survey on an annual basis. In 2017, the survey revealed among other results weaknesses with regards to the services of the Corporate Procurement Organization. Therefore, a qualitative survey has been carried out to build a deeper knowledge on how customer centricity can be increased with regards to Corporate Procurement. Internal customers of Corporate Procurement at Deutsche Post DHL Group have been interviewed. The research question examined: Which expectations do internal customers have at each touchpoint with Corporate Procurement and what triggers customer enthusiasm?
By using the method of Customer Journey Mapping potential for improvement has been identified regarding the purchasing services. This includes for example the development of an internal customer management, a structured communication to internal customers or development of an increased transparency on activities as well as expertise within Corporate Procurement. As a result of the survey, recommendations on how customer centricity can be increased, such as implementing a consistent customer relationship management, were made. In conclusion, the results of the qualitative content analysis show that Procurement is facing a role conflict. Thus, customer centric measures need to be evaluated against the former role of Corporate Procurement before being implemented
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
