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
Harris, Thurmon Ray, 1937-2017 (SC 3261)
Finding aid only for Manuscripts Small Collection 3261. Letter, 2 January 1996, of Thurmon Harris, pastor of Victory Baptist Church, Providence, Kentucky, to Dr. and Mrs. Jerry Martin, Bowling Green, Kentucky, thanking them for a memorial donation. He comments on his church\u27s giving record to missions in Kentucky and on the generosity of the congregation, but regrets that the area and town is in decline and this is reflected in the church
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
A novel salt inducible kinase 2 inhibitor, ARN-3261, sensitizes ovarian cancer cell lines and xenografts to carboplatin
Salt-induced kinase 2 (SIK2) is a serine-threonine kinase that regulates centrosome splitting, activation of PI3 kinase and phosphorylation of class IIa HDACs, affecting gene expression. Previously, we found that inhibition of SIK2 enhanced sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to paclitaxel. Carboplatin and paclitaxel constitute first-line therapy for most patients with ovarian carcinoma, producing a 70% clinical response rate, but curing <20% of patients with advanced disease. We have asked whether inhibition of SIK2 with ARN-3261 enhances sensitivity to carboplatin in ovarian cancer cell lines and xenograft models. ARN-3261-induced DNA damage and apoptosis were measured with γ-H2AX accumulation, comet assays, and annexin V. ARN-3261 inhibited growth of eight ovarian cancer cell lines at an IC50 of 0.8 to 3.5 µM. ARN-3261 significantly enhanced sensitivity to carboplatin in seven of eight ovarian cancer cell lines and a carboplatin-resistant cell line tested. Furthermore, ARN-3261 in combination with carboplatin produced greater inhibition of tumor growth than carboplatin alone in SKOv3 and OVCAR8 ovarian cancer xenograft models. ARN-3261 enhanced DNA damage and apoptosis by downregulating expression of survivin. Thus, a SIK2 kinase inhibitor enhanced carboplatin-induced therapy in preclinical models of ovarian cancer and deserves further evaluation in clinical trials
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
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
