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
Appropriate 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
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
Mikrofundierungen dynamischer Fähigkeiten: Mitarbeiterbeteiligung, Vertrauen der Führungskraft, Kontrolle und Routinisierung
No full textDiese Dissertation untersucht mögliche akteursbezogene und prozessbezogene Mikrofundierungen dynamischer Fähigkeiten. Im Speziellen untersuche ich die akteursbezogenen Mikrofundierungen: Mitarbeiterbeteiligung bei strategischen Veränderungen, Vertrauen der Führungskraft in Mitarbeiter und Kontrolle von Mitarbeitern. Dabei entwickle ich die Hypothesen, dass Mitarbeiterbeteiligung bei strategischen Veränderungen und soziale Kontrolle Mediatoren der positiven Beziehung von Vertrauen zu dynamischen Fähigkeiten sind. Bezüglich prozessbezogener Mikrofundierungen konzentriere ich mich auf die Routinisierung der operativen und strategischen Ebene. Basierend auf Kontroversen in der Fachliteratur, entwickle ich konkurrierende Hypothesen zu deren Einfluss auf dynamische Fähigkeiten. Des Weiteren wird das Zusammenwirken von Prozessen und Akteuren diskutiert. Hypothesen für die Mediation der Beziehung von Routinisierung zu dynamischen Fähigkeiten durch Kontrolle und Mitarbeiterbeteiligung werden entwickelt. Ich teste die Hypothesen anhand einer umfragebasierten Stichprobe deutscher Kleinunternehmen des produzierenden Gewerbes. Die ermittelten Ergebnisse stützen die positiven Mediationen der Beziehung zwischen Vertrauen und dynamischen Fähigkeiten durch Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und soziale Kontrolle. Darüber hinaus kann der positive Effekt von Ergebniskontrolle auf dynamische Fähigkeiten bestätigt werden. Die Hypothese bezüglich eines negativen Effekts von Verhaltenskontrolle kann nicht bestätigt werden. Ferner stützen die Ergebnisse den positiven direkten und totalen Effekt einer routinisierten strategischen Ebene auf dynamische Fähigkeiten. Bezüglich der Routinisierung auf der operativen Ebene kann kein direkter, jedoch ein negativer totaler Effekt nachgewiesen werden. Einige der konkurrierenden konzeptionellen Modelle in der Literatur können teilweise bestätigt werden. Es wird jedoch kein Modell vollständig unterstützt. Die Beziehung von Routinisierung und dynamischen Fähigkeiten scheint des Weiteren von den Mediatoren Mitarbeiterbeteiligung, sozialer Kontrolle und Ergebniskontrolle beeinflusst zu werden. Ein Beitrag zur Literatur wird durch die Offenlegung von Kontroversen in verschiedenen Konzeptionen von dynamischen Fähigkeiten geleistet. Es wird außerdem der Einfluss verschiedener möglicher Mikrofundierungen getestet. Die Ergebnisse deuten auf eine weitere mögliche Kombination von Routinen hin, welche den Besitz dynamischer Fähigkeiten fördern könnte. Es wird auch auf den Einfluss von akteursbezogenen Mediatoren hingewiesen. Ich leiste ebenfalls einen Beitrag zur andauernden akademischen Diskussion über die Beziehung zwischen Vertrauen und Kontrolle. Die Ergebnisse stützen die Komplementarität der beiden Konstrukte.This dissertation examines possible actor-related and process-related microfoundations of dynamic capabilities. In particular, I examine the actor-related microfoundations: employee involvement in strategic renewal, managerial trust in employees, and control of employees. I hypothesize that employee involvement in strategic renewal and social control mediate the positive relationship of trust and dynamic capabilities. Regarding process-related microfoundations, I focus on routinization at the operational level as well as at the strategic level. Drawing on controversies in the literature, I derive rival hypotheses for their effects on dynamic capabilities. Furthermore, the interrelation of processes and actors is discussed and mediations of the relationship between routinization and dynamic capabilities through control and employee involvement are proposed. I test the hypotheses using survey-data of small German manufacturing firms. Support for the mediation of the positive relationship between trust and dynamic capabilities through employee involvement and social control is found. Moreover, I find support for the positive effect of outcome control on dynamic capabilities. The proposed negative effect of behavior control is not supported. Furthermore, I find support for a positive direct and total effect of routinization at the strategic level on dynamic capabilities. Regarding routinization at the operational level, I cannot support a direct effect, but I can support a negative total effect. Some of the rival conceptualizations in the literature can be confirmed partially. However, none of the concurring conceptualizations is supported fully. The relation of routinization and dynamic capabilities appears to be mediated by employee involvement, social control, and outcome control. I contribute to the literature on dynamic capabilities by exposing controversies in the conceptualizations. Moreover, I examine the effects of various microfoundations. My results provide directions to a further combination of routines within dynamic capability possessing organizations. I also outline the impact of actor-related mediators. Moreover, I add to the trust and control literature by supporting their complementarity, which has been the subject of debate for a long time
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
