Os acadêmicos de Administração precisam pesquisar e publicar seus estudos para seguir as regras institucionais e avançar em suas carreiras, o que torna a publicação de artigos um assunto de grande importância para toda a academia. Esta dissertação traz múltiplos estudos que se destinam a investigar os fatores internos e externos que influenciam a publicação dos pesquisadores brasileiros na área da Administração. Para tanto, quatro etapas são traçadas, que consistem em quatro estudos distintos e interligados. Eu exploro a publicação de artigos, as competências essenciais para a publicação de artigos de alto nível, fatores de rejeição e as diferenças entre rankings de periódicos. Esta dissertação tem implicações para três públicos principais. Primeiro, para os pesquisadores que são capazes de entender melhor os fatores que influenciam sua produtividade. Em segundo lugar, os programas de doutorado são capazes de saber quais são os fatores mais importantes na formação de futuros pesquisadores. Em terceiro lugar, as agências institucionais podem repensar demandas institucionais de publicação e suas verdadeiras implicações.
Scholars need to conduct research and publish their studies to cope with institutional rules and advance in their career, which makes publishing a subject of great importance for all the academy. In this dissertation I conduct multiple studies that investigate a set of internal and external factors that influence research publication of Brazilian researchers in the field of Management. For this, four steps are used, consisting in four distinct and interconnected studies. Therefore, I explore the publication of articles, core competencies for top-level publication, rejection factors, differences between journal ranks. The studies contained in this dissertation have implications to three main audiences. First, scholars are able to better understand what influences their productivity. Second, doctoral programs are able to know what are the most important factors in the training of future researchers. Third, institutional agencies can rethink institutional demands for publication and their true implications.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation is aimed at describing gender difference in publication productivity among South African academic authors, and to develop an understanding of possible reasons for these differences. It is argued that the lack of empirical knowledge of publication productivity of academics in South Africa needs to be addressed, as scientific communication through publication is one of the most central social processes in science. Moreover, one form of scientific publication, the peer-reviewed article, has become the single most important aspect according to which academics in South Africa and abroad are rewarded. The focus on gender differences is motivated by the fact that women have been strengthening their representation in South African HEIs, but not their proportional contribution to our country’s output of accredited research articles. A review of the past four decades of empirical and theoretical work on the gender gap in publication productivity leads the author to identify three sets of factors that may account for its existence: gender-socialised differences between women and men, women’s greater family responsibilities, and gender-related deficits in the academic workplace. However, none of these sets of variables by themselves satisfactorily account for gender differences in publication productivity, and they should not be considered independent from each other. The literature review is followed by a review of methodological considerations that need to be taken into account when studying gender differences in publication productivity. Against this background, the advantages and limitations associated with the first empirical project of the dissertation - a secondary analysis of SA Knowledgebase, an existing bibliometric database - are identified. This analysis is aimed at quantifying gender differences in the publication productivity of South African academic authors; at controlling for relevant variables (race, age, highest qualification, rank, institutional affiliation and scientific domain); and at investigating gender differences in the tendency towards joint authorship. The results show that South African male authors publish almost twice as many articles in accredited journals than women authors do, but that the latter’s contribution to the total scientific publication output of South Africa has increased from 16 percent in 1990 to 24 percent in 2001. Part of the gender gap in publication productivity can be explained by women’s younger age, lower qualification level and lower rank as a gender group, but not by any tendency among women to co-author less than men do. This project was complemented by the analysis of primary data collected from the CVs of and qualitative interviews with sixteen highly productive South African academics. This second project contributes to the development of a more in-depth understanding of the way in which men and women’s publication productivity is differentially affected, in a predominantly male milieu and across the span of their careers, by their family responsibilities, non-research academic roles, and gender-socialisation. The dissertation concludes with an integration of the literature review with the main findings of the two projects, on the basis of which recommendations are made for future research, and proposals are made towards rendering the measurement of publication productivity more sensitive to the gender differences highlighted by the dissertation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif het ten doel om genderverskille in publikasieproduktiwiteit van Suid-Afrikaanse akademiese outeurs te beskryf, en om ʼn begrip te ontwikkel van moontlike redes vir dié verskille. Daar word aangevoer dat ʼn gebrek aan empiriese kennis oor die publikasieproduktiwiteit van akademici in Suid-Afrika aangespreek behoort te word, aangesien wetenskaplike kommunikasie deur middel van publikasie een van die mees sentrale proses in die wetenskap is. Daarbenewens het een vorm van wetenskaplike publikasie, die eweknie-beoordeelde artikel, die enkele belangrikste aspek geword waarvolgens akademici in Suid-Afrika en oorsee beloon word. Die fokus op genderverskille word gemotiveer deur die feit dat vroue hul verteenwoordiging in Suid-Afrikaanse hoër-onderwysinstellings versterk het, maar nie hul proporsionele bydrae tot ons land se uitset van geakkrediteerde navorsings-artikels nie. ʼn Oorsig van die afgelope vier dekades se empiriese en teoretiese werk oor die gender-gaping in publikasieproduktiwiteit lei tot die identifisering van drie stelle faktore wat die bestaan daarvan sou kon verklaar: gender-gesosialiseerde verskille tussen vroue en mans, vroue se swaarder gesinsverantwoordelikheidslas, en gender-verbandhoudende tekortkominge in die akademiese werkplek. Opsigself verklaar geen enkele van hierdie stelle veranderlikes egter gender-verskille in publikasieproduktiwiteit op ʼn bevredigende wyse nie, en hulle behoort nie onafhanklik van mekaar beskou te word nie. Die literatuur-oorsig word gevolg deur ’n oorsig van metodologiese oorwegings wat in ag geneem behoort te word ter bestudering van gender-verskille in publikasieproduktiwiteit. Teen hierdie agtergrond word die voordele en beperkinge verbonde aan die eerste empiriese projek van die proefskrif – ʼn sekondêre ontleding van SA Knowledgebase, ’n bestaande bibliometriese databasis - geïdentifiseer. Hierdie ontleding van is daarop gemik om gender-verskille in die publikasieproduktiwiteit van Suid-Afrikaanse akademiese outeurs te kwantifiseer; om vir relevante veranderlikes te kontroleer (ras, ouderdom, hoogste kwalifikasie, rang, institusionele affiliasie en wetenskaplike domein); en om gender-verskille in mede-outeurskap te ondersoek. Die resultate toon dat Suid-Afrikaanse man-outeurs bykans twee maal soveel artikels in geakkrediteerde vaktydskrifte as vroue-outeurs publiseer, maar dat laasgenoemde se bydrae tot die totale wetenskaplike publikasie-uitset van Suid-Afrika vanaf 16 persent in 1990 tot 24 persent in 2001 toegeneem het. Deel van die gender-gaping in publikasieproduktiwiteit kan verklaar word aan die hand van vroue se jonger ouderdom, laer kwalifikasievlak, en laer rang as ʼn gender-groep, maar nie aan die hand van enige neiging by vroue om minder as mans met andere te publiseer nie. Hierdie projek is aangevul deur die ontleding van primêre data wat ingesamel is vanuit die CV’s van, en kwalitatiewe onderhoude met sestien hoogs-produktiewe Suid-Afrikaanse akademici. Hierdie tweede projek dra by tot die ontwikkeling van ’n meer in-diepte begrip van die wyse waarop mans en vroue se gesinsverantwoordelikhede, hul nie-navorsingsverbandhoudende akademiese rolle, en hul gendersosialisering in ’n oorwegend manlike milieu en oor die bestek van hul loopbane heen differensieel op hul publikasieproduktiwiteit inwerk. Die proefskrif sluit af met ’n integrasie van die literatuur-oorsig met die hoofbevindinge van die twee projekte, op grond waarvan aanbevelings vir toekomstige navorsing gemaak word, en voorstelle aan die hand gedoen word vir die meting van publikasieproduktiwiteit wat sensitief sou wees vir die genderverskille wat in hierdie proefskrif uitgelig is.

Full textThe dramatic increase in alliances among firms has led to a large, and growing literature attempting to understand its causes and effects, whereas theoretical and empirical research on network formation is just at its beginnings. This thesis considers how the technological and social endowment of firms affect their decisions to form bilateral alliances, and investigates to what extent our knowledge on the formation of bilateral alliances helps to explain the structure of the alliance network. A theoretical model yields insights into how the technological endowment of firms may affect both the global network structure and the position of firms in the network. An empirical analysis estimates technological and social network effects on alliance formation. The estimated model is shown to be rather informative with respect to the firm’s position in the network but not very informative with respect to the global network structure

Full textLes procédés de recherche effractifs, tels que la biopsie dans le cadre d'études pharmacodynamiques, n'ont souvent aucun avantage pour le patient-bénévole en ce qui concerne le diagnostic ou la prise en charge clinique. Le recours à ces procédés n'est souvent fondé que sur l'idée de la valeur des connaissances (ce en quoi ils aideront d'éventuels patients futurs) plutôt que sur l'avantage direct pour le patient.Cette thèse propose d'étudier la justification du recours à des procédés de biopsie effractive dans la recherche sur le cancer par la production de connaissances. Nous proposons comme prémisse que la recherche sur les êtres humains ne peut produire de connaissances de valeur que dans la mesure où les résultats de la recherche sont présentés de manière à permettre à la communauté scientifique élargie de les utiliser à des fins de recherches ultérieures. Nous avons étudié l'interruption de l'accumulation de connaissances de valeur selon deux critères empiriques : la publication et la qualité des renseignements. Cette thèse se concentre particulièrement sur la publication et la qualité des renseignements dans les sous-études pharmacodynamiques contenues dans les essais cliniques de premières phases dans le domaine du cancer. Ces essais visent à mesurer l'innocuité et les effets toxiques potentiels d'un nouveau médicament de recherche, ainsi que la réaction de la tumeur. Les sous-études pharmacodynamiques évaluent les effets du médicament sur ses « cibles » (un enzyme ou une voie enzymatique). Nos résultats indiquent que pour 37% des essais cliniques de premières phases qui comprennent des sous-études pharmacodynamiques utilisant la biopsie, toutes les données pharmacodynamiques ont été publiées. À la suite d'une enquête auprès d'auteurs d'études, les obstacles les plus communs sont les « considérations d'ordre stratégique quant à la publication », dans le cas d'études où on juge que les résultats n'apportent rien de nouveau ou sont sans intérêt, contradictoires ou difficiles d'interprétation, et lorsque des « différends d'ordre scientifique » empêchent la publication de résultats pharmacodynamiques (59% des répondants). La qualité des renseignements varie grandement à travers les études et on remarque que certaines données importantes pour le contrôle de la qualité ne sont qu'irrégulièrement signalées, dont les résultats de tous les tests planifiés (78% des essais), l'évaluation des résultats à l'insu (43% des essais), les dimensions des tissus prélevés (38% des essais) et la description du cheminement du patient durant la section pharmacodynamique de l'étude (62% des essais). Lorsque l'analyse pharmacodynamique est le but premier de l'essai ou que celui-ci comprend un recours obligatoire à la biopsie, l'étude tend considérablement à être de meilleure qualité. La prépondérance de résultats positifs (61% des études) suggère peut-être un biais de publication. Compte tenu des résultats de notre recherche, nous proposons que les investigateurs d'études et les membres de comités d'éthique indépendants évaluent de manière critique les objectifs en matière de recrutement des patients, de prélèvement des tissus et de validation des essais pharmacodynamiques. De plus, les comités d'éthique indépendants et les investigateurs doivent s'assurer que tout laboratoire visant le prélèvement et l'analyse de tissus par la biopsie possèdent les ressources financières, humaines et matérielles nécéssaires pour compléter une étude pharmacodynamique validée. La recommandation principale de cette thèse consiste en l'élaboration d'une ligne directrice formalisée, comparable à CONSORT ou REMARK, pour la publication d'études pharmacodynamiques. Nous recommandons également que les auteurs d'études et les éditeurs de revues envisagent de publier indépendamment les résultats pharmacodynamiques ou d'inclure des matériaux supplémentaires afin de permettre une description méthodologique plus riche de la recherche pharmacodynamique.

In single-case research design (SCRD), experimental control is demonstrated when the researcher’s application of an intervention, known as the independent variable, reliably produces a change in behavior, known as the dependent variable, and the change is not otherwise explained by confounding or extraneous variables. SCRD studies that fail to demonstrate experimental control may not be published because researchers may be unwilling to submit these papers for publication due to null findings and journals may be unwilling and unlikely to publish null outcomes (i.e., publication bias). The lack of submission and publication of null findings, leading to a disproportion of positive studies in the published research literature, is known as the “file drawer effect” (Rosenthal, 1979; Ferguson & Heene, 2012). Recently, researchers and policy organizations have identified evidence-based practices (EBPs) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on systematic reviews of SCRD studies (Odom, Collet-Klingenberg, Rogers, & Hatton, 2010). However, if SCRD studies that do not demonstrate experimental control (i.e., null studies) are disproportionately unpublished due to the file drawer effect, this may result in a misrepresentation of positive findings, leading interventions to be deemed evidence-based that, actually, lack sufficient empirical support (Sham & Smith, 2014; Shadish, Zelinsky, Vevea, & Kratochwill, 2016). Social narratives, exercise, self-management, and response interruption/redirection are interventions for children with ASD that has been named EBPs according to the National Autism Standards (NAC; 2009) and National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder (NPDC; 2010); however, these interventions have not yet been evaluated for potential publication bias. The study employed and extended methods similar to Sham and Smith (2014), comparing the procedures and results of published articles and unpublished dissertations and theses for interventions identified as EBPs to evaluate the methodological rigor and evaluate the possibility of publication bias, file drawer effect, and lack of replication. Specifically, the results of published and unpublished studies were compared to determine if published studies showed greater treatment effect, which would indicate the file drawer effect. Also, SCRD quality indicators were employed to evaluate whether studies that were published tend to be of higher quality, as this would mitigate possible publication bias shown by larger effect sizes (ES) in published studies. The outcome resulted in three out of four EBPs (social narratives, antecedent exercise, and response interruption and redirection), yielding different ES when published studies were compared to unpublished studies; in contrast, self-management yielded a similar ES for published and unpublished studies. For social narratives and antecedent exercise, unpublished studies presented at lower estimated ES than published studies; whereas for response interruption and redirection, unpublished studies presented at a higher estimated ES compared to published studies. Generally, study quality presented at similar levels for published and unpublished studies for each EBP, with the exception of antecedent exercise. Differences were identified for antecedent exercise study quality based upon visual and statistical analyses. Lastly, there do not appear to be observed differences in treatment outcomes between published and unpublished studies when study quality was considered in the analysis. Implications of the results are discussed with respect to the file drawer effect and publication bias in EBPs, and the call to increase publications in peer-reviewed journals of negative findings and replication studies, which leads to identifying and establishing boundary criteria for EBPs.

Full textThis thesis analyses the ongoing evolutions of the funding of universities and public research organizations. We first document and analyse these evolutions. They point toward an increase in the mix of public and private funds, and the development of new external funding. We thus investigate theoretically how public and private funds are combined in the production of knowledge. We study thoroughly the questions of substitutability and complementarity between the different types of funds, and the consequences of shocks in the availability of those funding on the labs behaviour. We are also willing to assess the design of competitive public fund policies, through the set of incentives they create. We investigate this question in an empirical analysis on the Agence Nationale de la Recherche, where we portray the types of researchers who apply, as well as the selection made by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche

In order to understand the development of related issues in the realm of information management, we plan to classify the articles published in the Journal of Information Management The domain of information management has developed for forty years in Taiwan. Over the time, the information management topics are quite diverse. In order to understand the development of related issues in the realm of information management, we plan to classify the articles published in the Journal of Information Management (a journal published in Taiwan). Meanwhile, this study also focuses on the scholar publication in the field of information management by examining the degree of concentration of authors and affiliations. The research results reveal that the issues about information system applications dropped, while the issues about human increase in 2009. Besides, the analysis of concentration shows that Journal of Information Management is a competitive journal.

This thesis documents the history of the Sichuan woodcut printing, including its origin, style, text and the impact on regional culture, through an inter-textual examination of diverse documents of the Dynasty Sung based on the primary as well as secondary sources of the fieldwork in Sichuan region. The first part of the thesis traces back to the ancient copy of “Shu” (the shorter name for the region Sichuan) woodcut printing from Dynasty Sung to Tang. It studies the development of the “Shu print” from its original form to varied versions of later periods. The second part of the thesis analyses the correlation between the external factors, economic and geographical, and the development of woodcut printing industry of Dynasty Sung in Sichuan region. The data is collected based on the sources of historical records, government documents, local chronicles and so on within the framework from Tung through to Five Generations and Sung Dynasties. It is believed the impact of such external social factors contributed to a flourishing printing industry which led to a distinctive gentry’s culture in the Sichuan region of these periods in particular. The third part of the thesis focuses on the documentation of publications on Shu print of Dynasty Sung. It covers, thanks to the hard work by academics in the past, a comprehensive list of printed works and bibliographies from both public and private collections in libraries of China and Taiwan. The fourth part of the thesis explores the historical background and some external factors, all of which characterize the Shu print of Dynasty Sung, for example, the active interactions between local and other people outside the region and the local support for the government printing policy. The fifth part of the thesis studies the historical aspect and correlation to the contemporary culture. It seeks to picture the distinctive Sichuan woodcut printing culture which indicates the impact and the role of printing industry to the contemporary society.

Full textAcademic publication is used to disseminate and advance knowledge. It also provides a measure of individual research performance for career advancement and personal prestige. Furthermore, it is one measure of university performance and productivity for global rankings and government policy purposes. This research is motivated by the importance of academic publication to these various stakeholders, and aims to address the following research question: How can the academic publishing system be explained by modelling the strategic behaviours of scholars and academic journals? This research uses existing literature to define the strategic publishing behaviours of scholars and the strategic approaches of academic journals associated with publication. These investigations are then used to develop a conceptual model of the academic publishing system. The conceptual model is then operationalised using an agent-based modelling and simulation approach. Finally, real-world data is used to parameterise and validate this model. This research question is addressed through the empirical analysis of bibliometric data, and the implementation of the agent-based model. The analysis aims to fully understand the quantitative status of the academic publishing system, in order to calibrate and validate the agent-based model. Academic journals are characterised using 13 attributes that are captured across bibliographic data sources. The quantitative relationships among these journal characteristics are analysed over four impact-oriented journal quartiles to further characterise journal types. Cluster analysis of data collected for 11,427 scholars, and their 284,128 journal publications, identifies six types of scholars: singleton, small-team low performer, small-team high performer, big-team strategist, free-style follower, and life-time warrior. The empirical analysis identifies new, previously undescribed, growth patterns of academic journals and scholars, and contributes a characterisation of scholar types that provides a robust and holistic conceptualisation of academic publishing behaviours. A methodological approach of coupling the agent simulation with empirical research is introduced. It uses empirical data to set the parameters of the conceptual agent-based model that best reflects the scholars’ strategic publishing-decision processes. The simulation results validate independent historical data at both macro- (growth patterns of scholars and their publications, as well as the performance measures of scholars) and micro-levels (number of scholars and their publications for each calendar year). Thus, the thesis contributes a new typology of academic publishing strategy, and empirical journal characterisation. This informs a new understanding of the individual and collective behaviours that lead to a variability in research outcomes between scholar types. Importantly, it provides a framework that can be used to optimise the distribution of scholar types within teams and institutions, with the aim of maximising research outputs.

Information education or IT in education has become an important issue of modern education. Meanwhile, integrating information technology into instruction (or technology integration) has especially become one of the trends and major practices in Taiwan. The purpose of this research is to investigate how it can be integrated into the primary school curriculums the activities of the senior graders’ participation in publishing school newspaper, and also to examine the students'' learning performances. The researcher put the course into practice in a primary school, and also produced multimedia teaching materials concerning about the know-how of editing newspapers as well as a website with an on-line news delivery system to assist learning. It took 11 weeks and 32 periods to lead the fifth grade students to learn how to plan, edit and publish a student''s newspaper in Integrative Activity classes. The case study is directed under the method of quasi-experimental research. The ways of collecting data include observing, interviewing, document collecting and questionnaire surveying. In addition to the researcher''s instruction in the classroom, the students had ever paid a visit to a press, watched a movie and also learned by computer and internet to get the knowledge and skills about publication. They worked as publishers, editors and writers to practice and experiment during a series of related classes. The results of the research indicate that the students have shown significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in knowledge and skills concerning about publishing. Those who were in experimental group have obtained the capabilities to plan, edit, write and publish the newspaper, and their media literacy had increased at the same time. Moreover, the finally published newspaper showed that the senior graders had been able to work as a team with each other to finish their publication tasks. Through the training, they also have gains in skills about writing, computer, communication, cooperation, planning, creating, problem-solving, and so on. At the same time, the learning process had promoted a harmonious relationship between the schoolmates and had developed their communication with teachers, other students and the parents. The study also showed that there were beneficial effects on learning outcomes to integrate information technology into teaching and to assist learning with websites, especially in such respects as communicating with classmates, sharing information, preparing for lessons before classes and reviewing learning contents. As for the on-line news delivery system, it had made it more convenient to deal with publishing affairs, and also the students had acquired more knowledge about the internet and thus had learned how to communicate through it. The curriculum of publishing school newspaper is directly related to the following learning areas as Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Technology, Integrative Activities, Arts and Humanities, and so on. Furthermore, with its topic-based orientation, it can broaden the learning scope by bringing in issues from Health and Physical Education, Mathematics, Information Technology Education, Career Development Education, and so on. Therefore, in the future, every primary school can have its own school-based design of newspaper publication curriculum, and the curriculum can be put into practice in single-class, joint-class, mixed-grade, cross-area, computer-integrated and many other cooperative ways. The study has obtained the supports of the students, the parents and the teachers. After the experiment has finished, the class that participated in this study still continued and broadened the scope to publish the second newspaper by the end of the semester.

The comic publication is a media of graphic communication, and brings great pleasure to readers by texts and images that are carried with knowledge. Comics are play beyond time limits, so as to allow people to imagine and create their own fantasies. In a word, the comic publication is a virtual, reflecting what the real society may be like through various kinds of medium. That is to say, comics are a context full of icons, symbols, and narrations of the world. This study has adopted several cultural theories, such as semiology and narratology to discuss cultural meanings and social context of comics in text analysis. By combining different perspectives of cultural meanings and basic business management theories, this study has integrated these key points into the whole industry analyses. While using in-depth interview as the main method, triangulation is the core spirit of this thesis, accompanying factual materials and personal experiences. The results of the interviews are as listed: First, 70% of the interviewees (comic creators) think that the interpretations of cultural meanings in comics are necessary while the other 30% think that it depends on situations. Second, local comic writers are deeply influenced by Japanese comics in many ways, such as choice of topic, styles and narratives. However, the qualities of these Japanese comics vary a lot; many are full of blood, violence, and porn. Third, about 60% of the interviewees think that their works are related to Chinese culture while 20% of them are close to Taiwanese culture, 10% to western culture and the other 10% related to popular culture. Fourth, the main successful factor of fabulous, best-selling comics is scripting. Then, according to their importance, are marketing, skills, storyboard, creativity, topics, content structure, popular ability, scene setting, the speed of writing, and time table. Last but not least, the researcher has given some practical suggestions to the government, the comic industry, comic writers and the readers.

Full textDue to sampling error and true heterogeneity, a single study cannot provide a comprehensive picture and a precise estimate of, say the effectiveness of a treatment. Systematic reviews that identify and integrate relevant studies have become the most important scientific, quantitative method to summarize scientific research. Meta-analysis is the statistical method used in systematic reviews to combine results from individual studies.
However, due to selective submission and publication, not all relevant studies conducted, especially those unpublished studies with an insignificant negative result, are easily accessible to those who conduct reviews. As a result, the truth, say, the effect of a treatment, would be overestimated. This phenomenon is known as publication bias. A few methods for detecting the bias have been developed and used in meta-analyses. Although their accuracy has been studied, some important issues remain to be answered, such as when would a method be good enough for practical use and is it similarly good for different definitions of the odds ratio?
Methods. We conducted a simulation study to examine the accuracy of four commonly used bias-detection methods with various ORs and P1-P2 combinations. In a simulation study, the true bias status can be predetermined and thus be compared with the results of the bias-detection methods. The four methods are Egger's regression, funnel plot regression, rank correlation regression, and Tang's regression. Realistic sample size was used for simulating individual studies and the numbers of studies in a meta-analysis was also varied. Both the sensitivity and specificity are examined against the magnitude of the OR and the P1-P 2 combination to identify the ORs and P1-P 2 combinations for which a method is sufficiently accurate. Predictive values are also examined for the same reason and in the same manner.
Results. The sensitivity and positive predictive value are generally low and in particular when the OR is close to one for which publication bias is of a particular concern. Egger's regression has the highest sensitivity among the four, in particular when the OR is neither close to one nor exceptionally large or small. Due to the relatively lower specificity, the positive predictive value of Egger's regression is not as high as that for Tang's regression and funnel plot regression. Tang's regression and funnel plot regression are very similar in sensitivity, specificity and predictive values, with the former being slightly better. Rank correlation seems the least accurate method overall. Tang's regression has in general the highest positive predictive value among the four methods in particular when the OR is below one.

Full textResearch in cognitive science and neuroscience has the shared goal of understanding how cognitive and neural representations and processes mediate the observed relationships between stimuli and responses in different experimental paradigms. The almost ubiquitous basis for inferences about the number of processes or latent dimensions involved, is the observation of a dissociation; an interaction due to an unequal or opposite effect of one independent variable on the levels of another independent variable. However, it has been clearly shown that dissociations do not provide strong evidence for the need of an extra dimension. In this thesis, which is a collection of published and submitted papers, we describe an extension of the dissociation methodology – state-trace analysis (Bamber, 1979) – that does provide a rigorous basis for this inference. In the first section, an informal introduction to state-trace analysis is provided. We also develop Bayesian methods suitable for quantifying state-trace evidence in favour of a one-dimensional or multi-dimensional explanation, as well as for refining state-trace experiments. In the second section of this thesis, an application of state-trace analysis is presented that examines the question of whether human face recognition is special in the sense that faces can be encoded in terms of a dimension or dimensions additional to those available to most other objects. Over a series of experiments, and using the new methods developed in Section One, we confirm that the encoding of unfamiliar faces is special and discuss the need to extend this type of analysis to other psychological phenomena.
