    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

    Clinical significance of adiponectin coated vascular stents

    今回の検討で人工基材表面上への安定したアディポネクチン(Adpn)の高密度化学固定は可能となり、Adpn固定表面での内皮細胞接着促進および分化促進効果は確認された。しかしeNOSの発現亢進および細胞老化抑制作用は化学固定表面では得られず細胞の接着固定作用、細胞の足場形成作用のみと考えられAdpn化学固定ステントによる臨床的有用性は期待されにくいものと結論された。Metal stents with stable and homogeneously coated adiponectin on its surface were successfully developed. Vascular endothelial cells and mononuclear cells adhere and differentiate on the metal surfaces coated with adiponectin. However, no elevation in eNOS expression and cell senescence inhibition was observed in these cells. And no obvious advantages of adiponection coating over fibronectin coating.研究課題/領域番号:22590772, 研究期間(年度):2010–2012出典:研究課題「アディポネクチン・コーティングステントの開発とその血管内治療における有効性の検証」研究課題番号22590772 (KAKEN:科学研究費助成事業データベース(国立情報学研究所)) (https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/report/KAKENHI-PROJECT-22590772/22590772seika/)を加工して作成research repor

    Variations on the Author

    “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 PDF
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    Outward education system for medical interview with smart glasses

    Get PDF
    本研究は、今後我が国の医学教育で主流となる、参加型臨床実習を念頭に、多忙な臨床現場で教育効果を高めつつ、指導教員の時間的・空間的負担軽減を図るという相反する目的を達成するために、ICTデバイスを活用するとのコンセプトの下で計画を進めてきた。まず我々は授業の一環として実際の外来診察を想定し た医療面接実習を行い、その中に我々の作成したArduinoを基盤にしたセンシングシステムとスマートグラスを含むICTデバイスシステムを導入し、主観的および客観的評価を中心にデータ収集を行いその解析を進め、その有効性を評価した。Outward education for medical interview with simulated patients has become popular in medical schools. To improve the quality and efficacy of the education, we herein propose to introduce next generation IoT devices including smart glasses. We implemented a prototype system with Arduino, and verified effectiveness of our scheme by trialing it in actual classes.研究課題/領域番号:15K08544, 研究期間(年度):2015-04-01 – 2018-03-31出典:研究課題「次世代ウェアラブルデバイス・スマートグラスを活用した外来教育システムの構築と評価」課題番号15K08544 (KAKEN:科学研究費助成事業データベース(国立情報学研究所)) (https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/ja/report/KAKENHI-PROJECT-15K08544/15K08544seika/)を加工して作成富山大学 / 金沢大学附属病院research repor

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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
