    Replication Data For: Trading Integrity for Competence? The Public’s Varying Preferences for Bureaucratic Types across Government Levels in China

    People’s willingness to forgive corrupt government officials has intrigued many researchers. According to a prominent explanation, citizens tolerate corrupt officials in exchange for their ability to deliver public benefits, such as promoting economic development. We contextualize this corruption–competence tradeoff thesis by assessing individuals’ evaluations of local officials in China. We conduct a nationwide vignette experiment with 5,527 citizens, and find that the corruption–competence tradeoff exists and is hierarchical. Respondents prefer competent but corrupt low-level officials over those who are honest but incompetent, but this relative preference vanishes when they evaluate high-level local officials. Our interviews reveal that proximity to citizens and position in the power hierarchy primarily drive citizens’ sophisticated assessments of officials at different levels

    Herein encompasses the individually categorised files (by chapter) containing elucidated Proton (1H) and Carbon (13C) spectra (bearing speciific chemical shifts and integral ratios) for the intermediates leading to and including racemic Samroiyotmycin A and the phenyl-analogue (labelled with compound numbers in accordance to thesis). Preliminary bioassay results depicting IC50 values (in uM) for rac-Samroiyotmycin A, the phenyl-analogue as well as a key oxazole intermediate are also depicted within

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
