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

Get PDFEating disorders are common especially in young women nowadays and sometimes can devastate their social functions. In diagnosis of eating disorders, clinicians have to pay attention to cooccurrence of them and other psychiatric disorders such as mood disorder, anxiety disorder, and developmental disorder. To evaluate patients’ psychological trait and state precisely, clinicians must have a good knowledge of the effects of starvation on psychological aspects.
The author also highlights that in the treatment of eating disorders, adequate somatic risk assessment and psychological intervention including motivational enhancement approach and cognitive behavioral approach are essential.journal articl
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
Quality of Life ノ コウジョウ オ メザシタ トウゴウ シッチョウショウ チリョウ
Get PDFThe author reviewed studies on quality of life （QOL） of schizophrenia patients and discussed treatment strategy for improving their QOL. Although schizophrenia patients have been thought to be unable to assess their own QOL because of their cognitive impairment and objective QOL measures have been often used, nowadays, there is general agreement that stabilized patients could evaluate their QOL by themselves and then researchers gradually have become interested in use of subjective QOL measures. As most researchers still tend to assess schizophrenia patients’ QOL with only one type of the measures in spite of recent finding that there is a discrepancy between the two types, it would be recommended to use both of them as complementary measures. As for clinical factors related to lowered QOL, it is reported that depressive symptom is associated with lowered subjective QOL and negative symptom with lowered objective one. Moreover, poor life skill is found to be associated with lowered subjective and objective QOL, and several studies report that cognitive dysfunction in some cognitive domains may lead to lowered objective QOL. Generally, it is suggested that reducing depressive and negative symptoms and improving life skill could contribute to enhancement of QOL of schizophrenia patients.journal articl
Quality of life and its predictors in people with schizophrenia
Get PDFThe author reviewed measurement of quality of life (QOL) of schizophrenia patients
and the clinical factors related to their QOL. As schizophrenia patients were thought
to be unable to assess their own QOL because of their cognitive impairment, objective QOL
measures had been frequently used. However, nowadays, there is general agreement that
symptomatically stabilized patients could assess their QOL by themselves. Therefore, researchers
gradually have become interested in subjective QOL measure. Although most
researchers often evaluate schizophrenia patients’ QOL using only subjective or objective
QOL measure, considering the fact that there is a discrepancy between the two types of
measures, it is recommended to use both of them as complementary measures. As for clinical
factors related to lowered QOL, several studies reported that depressive symptom was
most associated with lowered subjective QOL, negative symptom was strongly related to
lowered objective one and poor life skill was associated with both. Moreover, several
studies found that cognitive dysfunctions in some cognitive domains were related to lowered
objective QOL but the effects of them were much smaller than those of negative
symptoms. It is suggested that improving depressive and negative symptoms and life
skills may contribute to enhancement of QOL of schizophrenia patients.journal articl
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
