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

The antecedents and consequences of entrepreneur's knowledge inheritance behavior in family business
Full text linkIntergenerational knowledge inheritance has gradually attracted attention in family
business inheritance literature, but there is still lack of research, and the exist ing research is
more qualitative. The empirical research on the influencing factors and results of
intergenerational knowledge inheritance behavior has not been found yet.
Snowball web survey method was employed and the data from one hundred and
fifty nine Chinese family firms were collected to be analyzed empirically. It is found
predecessor's willingness to hand over knowledge positively affects intergenerational
knowledge inheritance behavior, and then promotes enterprise's contextual and task
performances, in which intergenerational knowledge inheritance behavior plays a mediating
role. Similarly, succession intention of successors positively affects intergenerational
knowledge inheritance behavior, thereby promoting contextual and task performances, and
intergenerational knowledge inheritance behavior plays an intermediary role. The higher the
successor's political skills are, the stronger the positive relationship between predecessor's
intention to inherit (successor's intention to inherit) and intergenerational knowledge transfer
behavior will be which further promotes contextual and task performances. This thesis also
used case study to analyze the inheritance processes of classical Chinese family firms, which
demonstrated the research results as well .
The research findings establish a theoretical framework and empirical verification of
intergenerational knowledge inheritance behavior of family business. In practice, it reminds
family enterprises to pay attention to intergenerational knowledge inheritance behavior,
improve inheritance intentions, and cultivate the political skills of successors, so as to provide
guarantee for the smooth transition and future development of family enterprises.O tema da transferência de conhecimento intergeracional tem gradualmente atraído a
atenção da literatura referente às empresas familiares, contudo existe ainda muitas lacunas, e a
pesquisa existente é maioritariamente qualitativa. A pesquisa quantitativa sobre os fatores que
influenciam a transferência de conhecimento entre gerações está pouco desenvolvida.
Para distribuição dos questionários utilizamos o método "bola de neve" e foram
recolhidos e analisados dados respeitantes a 15 9 empresas familiares chinesas. Concluímos
que a vontade do antecessor para passar o conhecimento afeta positivamente o
comportamento relativo à transferência entre gerações, e consequentemente promove o
desempenho global das empresas familiares. Similarmente, a intenção de sucessão dos
sucessores afeta positivamente o comportamento da transferência de conhecimento
intergeracional, promovendo também deste modo o desempenho global. Quanto maiores
forem as habilidades políticas dos sucessores, mais forte será a relação positiva entre a
intenção do antecessor para transferir o conhecimento. Para testar as conclusões extraídas da
pesquisa quantitativa, esta tese utiliza também casos de estudo para analisar os processos de
transferência de conhecimento de empresas Chinesas bem conhecidas.
Os resultados da pesquisa estabelecem um quadro teórico e uma verificação empírica do
comportamento entre gerações relacionado com a transferência de conhecimento. Em termos
práticos, enfatiza a necessidade das empresas chinesas prestarem atenção ao comportamento
relacionado com a transferência intergeracional de conhecimento, a melhorarem as intenções
de transferência e a cultivarem as habilidades políticas dos sucessores, assim como
providenciarem garantias para uma transição suave e ajudarem o futuro desenvolvimento
das empresas familiares
