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
Consent Management Frameworks For Health Information Exchange
No full textThe proliferation of health information exchanges (HIEs) has fundamentally transformed the landscape of healthcare delivery, facilitating the seamless sharing of electronic health records (EHRs) across various healthcare providers and institutions. However, with the increased exchange of sensitive health information comes the paramount concern of safeguarding patient privacy and ensuring that consent for data sharing is adequately managed. This paper delves into the intricate and multifaceted frameworks designed for consent management within HIEs, critically analyzing their structure, implementation, and effectiveness. Consent management, a cornerstone of patient autonomy and data privacy, necessitates the creation of robust frameworks that account for the varying degrees of consent that patients may wish to exercise regarding the sharing of their personal health information (PHI). Given the complexity of modern healthcare systems and the involvement of numerous stakeholders, developing and operationalizing these frameworks presents significant challenges from both a legal and technological standpoint.
This paper aims to explore the various consent management models, such as opt-in, opt-out, granular consent, and dynamic consent, as well as their applicability and limitations in HIE settings. Each model is examined in the context of ensuring compliance with evolving privacy regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other regional health data protection laws. Additionally, the paper assesses how consent frameworks are integrated with the technical architecture of HIEs, including the use of advanced technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML), which offer potential solutions to the complexities of managing patient consent dynamically while ensuring security and traceability.
A key focus of the study is the exploration of how these frameworks are operationalized to respect patient preferences in real-time. This involves an in-depth analysis of the technical tools used to capture, store, and manage patient consent at various levels of granularity, enabling patients to have fine-grained control over who has access to specific aspects of their health data. The paper also discusses the technical and ethical implications of enforcing consent directives across different healthcare systems, which may vary in their technological maturity and data-sharing practices. Furthermore, the interoperability challenges between different health information exchange platforms, each employing potentially divergent consent management protocols, are addressed, with suggestions for standardization efforts that could enhance seamless and secure data sharing.
In addition to technical and regulatory aspects, this research investigates the role of patient education and engagement in the success of consent management frameworks. The paper highlights the importance of ensuring that patients are adequately informed about their rights, the implications of sharing or withholding consent, and how they can update their preferences as their care needs evolve. Moreover, the ethical considerations surrounding consent in the context of emergent technologies like big data analytics and AI-driven health applications are discussed, particularly focusing on the potential for secondary data use that may fall outside the original consent parameters. The study evaluates current best practices in providing transparent, user-friendly consent interfaces while maintaining the legal and ethical rigor required for handling sensitive health data.
Furthermore, the paper presents case studies from different regions and healthcare systems that have implemented innovative consent management frameworks within HIEs. These case studies provide insight into the practical challenges and successes of deploying these frameworks in real-world settings. They also illustrate the potential of emerging technologies, such as distributed ledger technology (DLT) and smart contracts, in enabling decentralized consent management, thus empowering patients with greater control over their health information while enhancing the security and transparency of data exchanges. However, these case studies also underscore the limitations and obstacles that need to be addressed, including issues related to scalability, user adoption, and the alignment of consent frameworks with clinical workflows.
Finally, the paper offers recommendations for future directions in consent management for HIEs, emphasizing the need for a balance between technological innovation, regulatory compliance, and the preservation of patient trust. The discussion includes the potential impact of future regulatory changes, such as stricter data privacy laws and the growing emphasis on patient-centric care models, on consent management practices. In conclusion, the research provides a comprehensive examination of the consent management frameworks in HIEs, emphasizing their critical role in safeguarding patient privacy, promoting trust in health information exchanges, and ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
