Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
UNDERSTANDING THE EFFECTIVE USE OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS FROM MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS’ PERSPECTIVES
Full text linkDuring the last three decades, health organisations started to widely adopt information system (IS) to manage healthcare limitations and challenges. Lately, the spending on health information system (HIS) has continued to increase, and there has been a significant increase in the use of mobile technology, social media, wearables and online communities. Telemedicine is a subset of telehealth, specifically the provision of clinical and medical services to patients through technology such as audio, video conferencing, and text messaging. Hence, healthcare organisations have attempted to generate the maximum value out of the system by utilising it effectively. However, we have a limited understanding of the effective use of telemedicine applications from healthcare providers’ and patients’ perspectives. Previous studies have focused on the implication of HIS use and its impacts on entire healthcare organisations’ performances or users’ satisfaction. Also, these studies have been restricted to focus on the healthcare providers’ perspectives, neglecting other perspectives (such as the patients’). Therefore, this paper seeks to explore what the effective use of telemedicine applications is and what it constitutes from the healthcare providers’ and patients’ perspectives. This research is in progress; both qualitative and quantitative data will be analysed to conceptualise a holistic notion on the effective use of telemedicin
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
English : Understanding the Effective Use of the Health Information System (HIS) From the Perspectives of Patients and Physicians
No full textOver the past three decades, the healthcare sector has been transformed by digital technologies, with health organisations increasingly integrating information systems (IS) into their operations, focusing on access to care, cost efficiency, and patient outcomes. Investment in health information systems (HIS) has risen rapidly, with widespread adoption and use of systems such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Computerised Physician Order Entry (CPOE), Telehealth Platforms, Patient Portals, and Health Information Exchange (HIE). Consequently, healthcare organisations are currently striving to fully leverage these systems to generate maximum value and optimise their efficacy in patient care delivery by utilising them effectively. However, one of the most significant problems healthcare organisations face today is not how much their systems are used and how faithfully features are appropriated but how effectively their systems are used and whether the desired outcomes are achieved. Yet, we have a limited understanding of what constitutes the effective use of HIS, particularly from the perspectives of different user groups, such as patients and physicians. Addressing this knowledge gap, this study examines the effective use of HIS through the context of telemedicine via mobile application, offering insights from both physicians and patients. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, the study contextualises and develops propositions on the effective use of telemedicine from the patients’ and physicians’ perspectives. The findings provide a deep understanding of how telemedicine applications and consultations are being utilised effectively by patients and physicians to achieve their healthcare objectives, with implications for enhancing the use of and education surrounding telemedicine services
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
