  • citation Content Analysis cca a framework for syntactic and semantic Analysis of citation Content
    Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Guo Zhang, Ying Ding, Stasa Milojevic
    Abstract:

    This study proposes a new framework for citation Content Analysis (CCA), for syntactic and semantic Analysis of citation Content that can be used to better analyze the rich sociocultural context of research behavior. This framework could be considered the next generation of citation Analysis. The authors briefly review the history and features of Content Analysis in traditional social sciences and its previous application in library and information science (LIS). Based on critical discussion of the theoretical necessity of a new method as well as the limits of citation Analysis, the nature and purposes of CCA are discussed, and potential procedures to conduct CCA, including principles to identify the reference scope, a two-dimensional (citing and cited) and two-module (syntactic and semantic) codebook, are provided and described. Future work and implications are also suggested.

  • vaccine counseling a Content Analysis of patient physician discussions regarding human papilloma virus vaccine
    Vaccine, 2011
    Co-Authors: Sarah L Goff, Kathleen M Mazor, Shawn J Gagne, Kristin C Corey, Diane R Blake
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives (1) Describe Content and character of patient–physician human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine discussions; (2) explore the relationship between selected characteristics and vaccine uptake. Methods Content analyses were conducted on 184 transcripts of audio-taped patient encounters with 11–26 year old female patients that occurred from August 2008 to March 2009 and contained mention of the HPV vaccine. Directed qualitative Content Analysis sought to identify key themes with a focus on elements related to communication. Quantitative Content Analysis included determination of associations between selected factors (e.g., physician specialty, communication variables, patient age) and vaccination rates. Results Communication themes identified though qualitative Content Analysis demonstrated potential opportunities for improvement in vaccine communication were identified. Quantitative Content Analysis showed twenty-eight percent of eligible patients received HPV vaccine and on average these patients were younger (17.0 vs. 19.6 years). The youngest and oldest patients were vaccinated less frequently. Conclusions Targeting age groups with lower vaccination rates may increase overall vaccine uptake. Additional quantitative analyses of patient–physician discussions about vaccine may generate further recommendations regarding optimal communication strategies for HPV vaccine counseling.

  • using Content Analysis as a research method to inquire into intellectual capital reporting
    Journal of Intellectual Capital, 2004
    Co-Authors: James Guthrie, Richard Petty, K Yongvanich, Federica Ricceri
    Abstract:

    Increasingly, researchers in the field of intellectual capital (IC) need to be able to justify the specific research methods they use to collect the empirical data that they examine to support and test opinions regarding the merit of different approaches to managing and reporting IC. Of the various methods available to researchers seeking to understand intellectual capital reporting (ICR), Content Analysis is the most popular. The aim of this paper is to review the use of Content Analysis as a research method in understanding ICR and to offer some observations on the practical utility of the method. Further, the paper examines several research method issues relating to the use of Content Analysis that have been discussed in the social environmental accounting literature, but not as yet in the IC literature, which we believe are relevant to investigations underway in the field of ICR. This paper reports on several developmental issues we have confronted when using Content Analysis to examine the voluntary disclosure of IC in annual reports by various organisations. The paper also suggests two theoretical foundations for further investigation into the voluntary disclosure of IC by organisations, and suggests why Content Analysis is well matched to both these theories as a means to collect empirical data to test research propositions.

  • Content Analysis of social environmental reporting what is new
    Journal of Human Resource Costing & Accounting, 2006
    Co-Authors: James Guthrie, Indra Abeysekera
    Abstract:

    Purpose: The aim of this paper is to review the use of Content Analysis as a research method in understanding SEA and to examine current contemporary foci of this research tradition. Further, several research method issues relating to the use of Content Analysis are examined. Methodology: Contemporary focus and research issues are analyzed to provide some future directions for scholars in the field of SEA, by categorizing work in the SEA, social environmental reporting (SER) and intellectual capital reporting (ICR) literature, according to the following: normative literature/theory/commentaries; focus of empirical investigation; quality SER research; combined research methodologies; Content Analysis method issues. Findings: Literature indicates that few attempts have been made to combine other research methodologies with Content Analysis although it has proven fruitful with the limited investigation undertaken to examine aspects of SER. Further extending the performance reporting by combining SER with ICR may provide useful information. Research Implications: Increasingly, researchers in the field of social and environmental accounting (SEA) need to be able to justify the specific research methods they use when collecting the empirical data that they examine in order to support and test opinions regarding the merit of different approaches to managing, measuring and reporting of SEA.
