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

No full textAppropriate 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
16th International Doctoral Students Workshop on Logistics, Supply Chain and Production Management : June 20, 2023 Magdeburg
No full text2023 brings exciting developments to the workshop: Firstly, the workshop has expanded its title and focus to incorporate the realms of “Supply Chain and Production Management”. This expansion recognizes the growing interconnection between logistics and production in the industrial sector, along with the design and development of supply chains. By adopting this holistic approach, we can explore broader horizons. Secondly, in light of applied universities being granted the authority to award doctorates, Saxony-Anhalt has witnessed the establishment of new doctoral centers. Notably, our esteemed colleagues, Professors Trojahn, Behrendt, and Sackmann, are actively engaged in the "Doctoral Center for Social, Health, and Economic Sciences”, which represents and involves three out of the four universities of applied sciences: Magdeburg-Stendal, Köthen and Bernburg locations, and Merseburg. With the integration of representatives from this doctoral center, we not only benefit from the strong technical and economic competencies in logistics at Magdeburg's Otto von Guericke University but also embrace competencies and topics that enable us to address complex tasks in line with sustainability. Thirdly, after adopting a hybrid format in 2022, we are excited to return to an in-person event in 2023. Personal interactions foster essential professional exchanges and discussions, leading to valuable synergies. Unfortunately, our meeting is overshadowed by a war in Europe. However, we stand together, firmly rooted in the European spirit of freedom and peaceful coexistence among all people. Finally, in our ongoing efforts, we strive to enhance the visibility and accessibility of contributions through digital open-access publications. This applies to both the conference proceedings as a whole and individual contributions, ensuring wider reach and greater discoverability. Our introductory academic paper serves as a guide, explicitly highlighting logistical thinking. By doing so, we aim to broaden perspectives on individual research work and expand research methodologies. The published papers presented at the workshop encompass a wide range of research topics. These include the design of logistical objects such as packaging, novel processes like the control of transportation and robots, transport evaluation, the advancement and application of new methods (e.g., prediction and VSM), supply chain design, and the substitution of materials with significant improvement effects in production and logistics. The workshop serves as an invaluable platform for doctoral students to present their research and engage in discussions with experts. This not only strengthens the education of young researchers but also contributes to the advancement of research itself. As always, we extend a warm welcome to our international participants and reviewers hailing from Cuba, Hungary, Ukraine, Austria, and Germany
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
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
