Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
Nivel de eficacia de la Ley N° 31040 y su afectación del derecho a la salud a consecuencia del alza de precios en las boticas del distrito de Tarapoto, Agosto - Diciembre 2020
No full textLa presente investigación titulada Nivel de eficacia de la Ley N° 31040 y su afectación del derecho a la salud a consecuencia del alza de precios en las boticas del distrito de Tarapoto, Agosto - Diciembre 2020. Tiene como objetivo general determinar el nivel de eficacia de la Ley N° 31040 y su afectación del derecho a la salud a consecuencia del alza de precios en las boticas del distrito de Tarapoto, Agosto- Diciembre 2020 por lo que se planteó como objetivos específicos en reconocer las dimensiones de la Ley Nº 31040. Ley que modifica el código penal y el código de protección y defensa del consumidor, respecto del acaparamiento, especulación y adulteración; y reconocer las dimensiones del derecho a la salud. La presente investigación fue de tipo aplicada, con nivel correlacional y diseño no experimental, la población estuvo conformado por 400 personas entre pacientes que tuvieron Covid-19, farmacias, boticas e instituciones que están a los alrededores de los centros de asistencia de salud por lo que el muestreo es probabilístico tomando como referencia a 80 personas y el instrumento utilizado fue el cuestionario; concluyendo con el estadístico de correlación de Pearson al 0,719, y un p-valor de 0,000, menor a 0,05, con lo cual se rechaza la hipótesis nula y se afirma que existe relación. Lo cual significa que, el nivel de eficacia de la Ley N° 31040, tiene afectación alta al derecho a la salud a consecuencia del alza de precios en las boticas del distrito de Tarapoto, Agosto- Diciembre 2020.This is research entitled "Level of effectiveness of Law No. 31040 and its impact on the right to health as a result of the price increase in drugstores in the district of Tarapoto, August - December 2020". Its general objective is to determine the level of effectiveness of Law No. 31040 and its impact on the right to health as a result of price increases in drugstores in the district of Tarapoto, from August to December 2020, therefore, the specific objectives were to recognize the dimensions of Law No. 31040. A law that modifies the penal code and the consumer protection and defense code, with respect to hoarding, speculation and adulteration; and to recognize the dimensions of the right to health. The present research was applied, with correlational level and non-experimental design, the population consisted of 400 people among patients who had Covid-19, pharmacies, drugstores and institutions that are around the health care centers, so the sampling is probabilistic taking 80 people as a reference and the instrument used was the questionnaire. It is concluded that, with Pearson's correlation statistic at 0.719, and a p-value of 0.000, less than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected and it is affirmed that there is a relationship. This means that the level of effectiveness of Law No. 31040 has a high impact on the right to health as a result of the price increase in drugstores in the district of Tarapoto, between August and December 2020
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
Eficacia de la Ley N° 31040 ante la crisis económica causada por la pandemia del COVID -19, en Lima 2020 - 2022
Get PDFLa investigación tiene como objetivo efectuar un minucioso análisis de la eficacia
de la Ley N° 31040 frente a la crisis económica causada a raíz de la pandemia del
COVID-19, en Lima 2020-2022, la metodología empleada fue de tipo básica
contando con un enfoque cualitativo, diseño la Teoría Fundamentada y un método
hermenéutico, la población que conforma nuestra unidad de análisis consta de 10
expertos, así como de 10 normas con rango de ley que guardan relación con el
estudio efectuado utilizando como instrumentos la entrevista y el análisis de fuente
documental, donde el resultado que se obtuvo fue que la dación de la Ley N°31040
fue necesaria para mitigar aquellos estragos que dejó la crisis económica originada
por la pandemia, sin embargo, concluye que la presente norma fue ineficaz para
sancionar el delito de acaparamiento, especulación de precios y adulteración de
productos, donde el Estado no ejerció un adecuado regulación de los precios y,
además, no aplicó las sanciones contempladas en la legislación; asimismo, el
Estado debe garantizar que toda la población posea acceso a bienes y servicios
considerados esenciales para contrarrestar los efectos de la pandemia, que
permitirá proteger los derechos fundamentales de la vida y la salud de toda
persona
