    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    presented by: Jessy Lyons (MA), Lea Hegge (MPH), Green Dot etc., Inc.Title from PDF caption (viewed on December 9, 2021)."In the fall of 2014, Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc. approached Green Dot, etc., Inc. to discuss the possibility of adapting the Green Dot Violence Prevention Strategy to address bullying, harassment, hazing, and other forms of aggression in the trade industries around Portland. Green Dot proposed a four-phase adaptation and implementation plan to be completed in collaboration with Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc. and other local stakeholders. As a part of Phase One, in February 2015, Green Dot, etc., Inc. , in partnership with Portland State University, was contracted to conduct focus groups with key stakeholders such as apprentices, trades workers, foremen, business owners, union officers, labor advocates, and other vested parties to determine how best to apply the Green Dot vision to the trades"--Page 2.This archived document is maintained by the State Library of Oregon as part of the Oregon Documents Depository Program.

    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

    Full text link
    Hotels as a part of the hospitality industry try to create an attractive image to differentiate themselves from others. This is important in luring travelers which will directly affect the development of the hotel itself. This can be achieved only through the efforts of all elements of the hotel which are divided into several departments. The front office department, especially, should have good cooperation among its staffs because the front office has most direct contact with the guests. The receptionist as a part of the front office department has a large responsibility as a representative of the hotel which should create a good image. This paper sets out to describe the job scope of a receptionist at Kusuma Sahid Prince Hotel, Surakarta based on the job training undergone by the author. The receptionist plays important role in handling the guests’ needs. To give the best service, a receptionist must have good knowledge about all sectors in the hotel and also the information external to the hotel related to the guests’ needs. It is also supported by good and professional grooming based on appropriate hotel standards. From the data, one conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the job description of a receptionist in Kusuma Sahid Prince Hotel includes various aspects. The receptionists of Kusuma Sahid Prince Hotel have a large responsibility to know the job scope and do it to the best of their ability in order to build an attractive image of the hotel

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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
