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

Kaper Machinenbau and Tian Fu Tools: A Take-over with Chinese Characteristics (B)
No full textFive years ago, Tian Fu Tools (TFT), a Chinese state owned machinery enterprise, bought the Stuttgart-based mid-sized lathe and machinery building company Kaper Maschinenbau. Case A: Enjoying a rare day off, Heinrich Baumann, CEO of Kaper, is interrupted by a phone call from the TFT GM, Zhang Jian, who informs him that the TFT board has decided to move production of a further 3 Kaper machines to Tianjin, and of plans to move a large portion of Kaper’s research facilities to China. Baumann is caught off-guard and is dismayed at not being involved in this decision. He tries to make sense of Zhang Jian’s behaviour and wonders how to explain this change convincingly to the union and supervisory board. Baumann begins strategizing ways to protect the company from their Chinese owners. Case B: Zhang Jian puts down the phone and wonders what had gotten into the Germans. The Kaper management team and Baumann have always seemed like sensible people despite some of the Germans’ odd habits and stifling regulations. But now they are refusing to comply with decisions made by their owner; Zhang cannot imagine what could explain such behaviour. The global markets make it critical to raise competitiveness whilst ensuring high quality and innovation; Baumann must be able to see this. Zhang tries to understand what has gone awry. This case is particularly well suited to Executive MBA and executive development programs focused on cross-border business. The contents are relevant to topics including International Business, M&A, Cross-cultural Communication, and Global Leadership. The cases may be used together or separately to support discussion of Chinese, European, and cross-border leadership challenges. The accompanying teaching notes provide extensive background information including frameworks and concepts, as well as suggested teaching methodologies for the cases
