Good question: exploring the experiences of generating questions in coaching
Full text linkCoaches use questions, with other techniques, to facilitate progress for clients. The
coaching practitioner literature provides advice on how to employ questions in coaching
sessions, but there is little empirical evidence examining how coaches generate or ask
questions. Investigating my own experiences and that of other coaches, in relation to
questions, has been a long-standing professional interest. Thus, this research provides
insight into exploring the experiences of generating questions in coaching.
The approach to the research was relativist and employed heuristic inquiry as the
research methodology. Eight experienced coaches were recruited as co-researchers, to
share their experiences of generating coaching questions. Capturing experiences was
achieved through post-coaching reflections and conversational interviews. Thematic
analysis of the data identified categories and patterns that led to the creation of
individual depictions of the experience for each co-researcher. In line with the research
methodology, individual experiences were brought together to produce a final creative
synthesis. A departure from heuristic inquiry was the omission of a group depiction.
The selection of exemplary portraits was replaced with presenting the portraits of all coresearchers.
Both of these amendments were felt appropriate in order to align the
methodology more faithfully with a relativist approach.
Coaches noticed a wide range of information when forming questions, originating from
sources both inside and outside the coaching session itself. The background of the coach
played a part in shaping the experience of generating questions, as did the transitory
‘state’ of both coach and client. Coaches asked questions when in an altered state that
some described as a ‘flow’ or ‘zone’. Questions ‘pop’ into the heads of coaches in a
non-conscious way at times, often accompanied for the coach by a somatic sensation,
while some were generated more consciously. At the point of asking questions, coaches
often used a prefacing statement for their own or their client’s benefit. Coaches
frequently engaged in inner dialogue when asking questions that were usually focused
on the coach or the question. The inner dialogue varied in nature, but often presented in
the form of a question.
The conclusions indicate that the experience of generating questions in coaching was
deeply impacted by the coach themselves. This research highlighted three paradoxes
that coaches tried to balance while enquiring of their clients. Suggestions for future
research are also proposed

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
