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
Autonomía e individuos sin la capacidad para consentir : el caso de los menores de edad
Get PDFA Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos (2005) contemplou a autonomia com três artigos
entre seus 15 princípios: autonomia e responsabilidade individual (artigo 5º); consentimento (artigo 6º);
indivíduos sem a capacidade para consentir (artigo 7º). Diante da complexidade do tema, este trabalho analisa
o artigo 7º da Declaração, com foco especificamente na questão das crianças. Por causa da ausência de
competência para que crianças consintam de maneira livre e autônoma, essa autorização é repassada aos
responsáveis legais, geralmente pais ou familiares. A inexistência de dispositivos legais que legitimem a decisão dos menores abre espaço para atuação paternalista de profissionais e dos responsáveis legais, que agem visando ao benefício da criança, a partir de perspectivas próprias. A bioética é responsável por estimular a discussão sobre as possíveis formas e mecanismos de proteção real dos menores de idade, considerados legalmente incapazes de fornecer o próprio consentimento.The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (2005) contemplated autonomy in three articles among its 15 principles: autonomy and individual responsibility (article 5); consent (article 6); and, persons without the capacity to consent (article 7). In view of the complexity of the matter, this paper analyzes Article 7 of the Declaration, specifically focusing on children. Because of children’s lack of competence to freely and autonomously provide their consent, this authorization is passed on to their legal guardians, usually parents or relatives. The absence of legal provisions to legitimize the decision of minors leaves room for paternalistic actions by professionals and legal representatives, who act, based on their own perspectives, for the benefit of children. Bioethics is responsible for stimulating a discussion on possible ways and mechanisms for the real protection of minors, legally regarded as unable to provide their own consent.La Declaración Universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos (2005) incluyó a la autonomía, con tres artículos, entre sus 15 principios: autonomía y responsabilidad individual (artículo 5); consentimiento (artículo 6); y personas sin capacidad para consentir (artículo 7).

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
Violência Obstétrica e Bioética à luz da Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos
Get PDFPesquisas em todo o mundo demonstram que mulheres têm sido vítimas de negligência, violência física, violência verbal e violência sexual dentro das instituições de saúde ”“ em especial ao dar à luz. Considerando o papel dos profissionais no que se refere a esse cenário, o presente estudo teve como objetivo conhecer a percepção dos estudantes da área da saúde sobre a violência obstétrica e sua relação com a Bioética, conforme princípios previstos na Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos (DUBDH). MÉTODOS. Realizou-se, mediante aprovação pelo CEP, pesquisa exploratória de abordagem mista com 102 estudantes em todos os níveis de formação. O instrumento foi questionário estruturado, disponibilizado por meio eletrônico, composto por questões abertas e fechadas. A análise de dados incluiu técnicas de estatística descritiva para os dados quantitativos e análise de conteúdo para os qualitativos, à luz da Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos
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
