    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Development of assessment tool used by the nursery teacher at nursery for 'children with special care needs'

    保育園で保育士が活用できる「気になる子ども」のアセスメントツールを作成し、それを用いて保育園児453名を対象に、担任保育士による定期的なアセスメントを1年にわたり実施した。 「気になる子ども」は19.6%にみられ、その割合は男児が有意に高かった。「気になる子ども」の行動特性は、社会性の低さ、落ち着きなさ、過敏性、自閉傾向などに分類された。個人の分析結果を縦断的に視覚化することにより、障害を思わせる特性パターンが抽出された。また「気になる子ども」の親は子どもとの関わりに困難感を感じる一方で、子どもへの関わりが中途半端と評価される者が多く、親子関係の問題も示唆された。The purpose of this study is, that by elucidating the problems of “children with special care needs” and then to develop assessment tool, which can be utilized by nursery teacher at nursery to assess them. Four-hundred forty three children were evaluated by the nursery teachers for one year. The ratio of “children with special care needs” was 19.6%, regarding the gender ratio, boys 30.7% and girls 8.2%, thus boys were significantly higher. Behavioral characteristics of "children with special care needs" have been classified, such as low of society, hyperactivity, hyper sensitivity, and autistic tendency. In addition, some patterns reminiscent of a disorder has been extracted. The parents of such children often felt difficulty to involvement with the child, and there were the indicative of the parent-child relationship problem.研究課題/領域番号:24593359, 研究期間(年度):2012-04-01 - 2016-03-31出典:研究課題「保育園における「気になる子ども」の早期支援を目的としたアセスメントツールの開発」課題番号24593359 (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-24593359/24593359seika/)を加工して作成金沢大学医薬保健研究域保健学系research repor

    A longitudinal study on the relationship between lifestyle and biological rhythm in preschool-aged children

    Full text link
    幼児期の生体リズムの発達における関連要因の影響を明らかにすることを目的に、1~6歳の幼児を対象に、平成19年~21年度まで体温と生活習慣を調査した。 就寝、起床時刻ともに過去の調査より約30分早く、起床時刻は夏季に比べ冬季では有意に遅かった。体温リズムが同調していた子どもは約5割で、リズムの良否には就寝時刻、起床時刻、児の月齢が関連していた。また、長期間の生活要因も影響し、幼少期からの生活習慣の影響は年齢が小さいほど大きくなる可能性が示唆された。The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between lifestyle and biological rhythm in preschool-aged children. We conducted a longitudinal survey from 2007 to 2009. The result of this survey revealed that the children were going to bed and waking up approximately 30 minutes earlier than current reports. Wake-up time was significantly later in winter than in summer. The result of this survey revealed that the temperature rhythm was stable in approximately 50% of the children. We found that bedtime, wake-up time, and age in months were associated with temperature rhythm. The longitudinal survey revealed that both short- and long-term lifestyle factors exerted a strong influence on temperature rhythm at all time point.研究課題/領域番号:19791687, 研究期間(年度):2007-2009出典:研究課題「幼児の午睡と生体リズムとの関連: 単相睡眠への移行までの追跡調査」課題番号19791687 (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-19791687/19791687seika/)を加工して作成金沢大学医薬保健研究域保健学系research repor

    Investigation of issues for realizing of nursing education based on gender diversity

    性の多様性をふまえた看護教育の在り方を検討するため、医療系大学生のセクシュアルマイノリティに対する意識と関連要因を調査した。 725名(86.3%)の回答の結果、セクシュアルマイノリティに偏見がある者は19.9%で、これらの者は潜在意識テスト(IAT)得点が高かった。顕在的意識は直接関わった経験、関心、心理的距離感、受容度と、潜在的意識は情報を見聞きした経験、知識、心理的距離感、受容度と関連していたが、いずれも「学校で学んだ経験」との関連はみられなかった。 セクシュアルマイノリティに対する学生の意識を発展させていくには、学生が自ら考える教育内容・方法の工夫が必要であると示唆された。In order to consider education for nursing students, it was investigated the consciousness of undergraduate students against sexual minorities to clarify the awareness of students towards sexual minorities and related factors. Responses were received from 725 students, 19.9 % of them had negative consciousness against sexual minorities, and their IAT scores were higher than those of students who didn't have negative consciousness. Recognized consciousness was related to directly involved experience, knowledge, interests, psychological distance, acceptance. Potential consciousness was related to experience of gaining information, knowledge, psychological distance, acceptance. There was no relation between both consciousness and experience of learned at school. It was suggested that it is necessary to devise students' interests not only knowledge but also contents and methods of education that provides them the opportunity to think themselves.研究課題/領域番号:18K10419, 研究期間(年度):2018-04-01 - 2021-03-31出典:「性の多様性をふまえた看護教育の実現に向けた課題の検討」研究成果報告書 課題番号18K10419 (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-18K10419/18K10419seika/)を加工して作成金沢大学医薬保健研究域保健学系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
