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
Data associated with the PLoS ONE publication 'Evaluation of a strategy for enrolling the families of critically ill patients in research using limited human resources' by Turnbull et al. 2017
No full textWe want to know if patient activation interventions can be adapted to help the friends and family members who choose to speak for incapacitated ICU patients. These friends and family members are called proxies. As a first step in this process, we conducted a Phase I study in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore, Maryland. More information about this project can be accessed at www.piperscience.org/proxy-activation .
This dataset includes data and codebook for the study associated with the cited PLOS one publication. Certain variables in the public access version of the data were broadened and variables detailing patient and proxy relationships are not included to reduce identity disclosure risk. These may be obtained by direct request with approval by investigators local IRBs.
Rationale: Clinical trials of interventions aimed at the families of intensive care unit (ICU) patients have proliferated but recruitment for these trials can be challenging.
Objectives: To evaluate a strategy for recruiting families of patients currently being treated in an ICU using limited human resources and time-varying daily screening over 7 consecutive days
Methods: We screened the Johns Hopkins Hospital medical ICU census 7 days per week to identify eligible family members. We then made daily, in-person attempts to enroll eligible families during a time-varying 2-hour enrollment period until families declined participation, consented, or were no longer eligible

No full textMusic therapy is a profession whose time has come. Now more than ever, we have an understanding of music psychology and the psychosocial effects of physical health, as well as knowledge that the positive effects of the arts are pervasively important in our society. Increasingly, we see applications and reports of medical music therapy and music medicine in the media, which can only grow the profession further. What advice do I have for people starting their career as a music therapist? This is what I say: “Challenge yourself to grow and develop; find meaning in what you do; respect all people and professions - don’t have a “chip on your shoulder” that music therapy is somehow the best profession; find support, use supervision, and be aware of transference and countertransference issues; keep fit mentally and physically; be a lifelong learner; never stop engaging in reflective practice; and, finally, be bold, try new things, and push the boundaries!
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
