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
Change management in Umicore Finland Oy : a case study of implementation of new SharePoint system
Full text linkThis thesis was commissioned by Umicore Finland Oy. The aim was to examine Umicore Finland Oy’s change management in implementation of the new SharePoint environment and to find change management models to support future changes. The study examined the theory of change management and used a quantitative survey to map the experiences of employees in implementing the new SharePoint environment from a change management perspective. The theoretical framework of the study presented the stages of change and the most commonly used change management models. The quantitative survey was sent to all employees from different organizations and positions. The thesis produced a comprehensive report on change management and its utilization in changes. The conclusion of the work presented the development points that emerged in the survey and offered suggestions for measures to managing and leading future changes.

Tämän ylemmän ammattikorkeakoulun opinnäytetyön toimeksiantajana oli Umicore Finland Oy. Tavoitteena oli tarkastella Umicore Finland Oy:n muutosjohtamista uuden SharePoint ympäristön käyttöönotossa ja löytää muutosjohtamisen malleja tukemaan tulevaisuuden muutoksia. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin muutosjohtamista käsittelevää teoriaa sekä kartoitettiin kvantitatiivisella kyselyllä henkilöstön kokemuksia uuden SharePoint ympäristön käyttöönotosta muutosjohtamisen näkökulmasta. Työn teoreettinen viitekehys esitteli muutoksen vaiheita sekä yleisimmin käytettyjä muutosjohtamisen malleja. Kvantitatiivinen kyselytutkimus lähetettiin koko henkilöstölle ja siihen vastasi yhteensä 146 työntekijää eri organisaatioista ja eri asemista. Ylemmän ammattikorkeakoulun opinnäytetyö tuotti kattavan selvityksen muutosjohtamisesta ja sen hyödyntämisestä muutoksissa. Työn johtopäätöksissä esitettiin kyselytutkimuksessa esiin nousseita kehityskohtia ja tarjotaan toimenpide-ehdotuksia tulevien muutosten hallintaan ja johtamiseen
Viestintästrategia asiantuntijayritykselle
Full text linkOpinnäytetyössä käsiteltiin pienen B2B-asiantuntijayrityksen ulkoista viestintää. Työn tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten asiantuntijayritys voi hyödyntää sosiaalista mediaa ja sisältömarkkinointia viestinnässään. Kohdeyrityksenä toimi patenttitoimisto Espatent Oy. Työn lopputuotoksena kohdeyritykselle laadittiin viestintästrategia, joka ohjaa yrityksen viestintää keskittyen asiantuntijuuden jakamiseen ja työnantajakuvan rakentamiseen.
Opinnäytetyön teoriaosuudessa tarkasteltiin sosiaalista mediaa ja asiantuntijaviestintää B2B-yrityksen näkökulmasta sekä blogiviestintää ja asiantuntijan henkilöbrändiä. Lisäksi teoriaosuudessa käsiteltiin sisällön tuottamista ja sisältömarkkinointia sekä työnantajamielikuvaa ja sen merkitystä rekrytoinnissa.
Kehittämistyön menetelminä käytettiin kilpailija-analyysia ja suunnittelupalavereita. Viestintästrategian tavoitteiksi määriteltiin kohdeyrityksen tunnettuuden ja näkyvyyden lisääminen, asiakaskokemuksen parantaminen ja työnantajamielikuvan kehittäminen. Opinnäytetyön myötä kohdeyritykselle luotiin perustukset viestintään, jolla sisällöntuotanto saadaan aloitettua. Viestintästrategian jatkokehityskohteiksi ehdotettiin asiakasymmärryksen parantamista ja sosiaalista myyntiä
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
