    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    AI and Emotions: review, synthesis and research agenda

    No full text
    This paper presents a systematic review of recent academic literature analysing the relationship between AI and emotions. To this end, 97 management/marketing articles published in WoS/Scopus Journals were analysed. This review shows that the topic of AI in relation to emotions is gaining momentum in marketing and service research. The results show that a new stream of research on the relationship between AI and emotions has emerged in the marketing literature, with articles favouring an interpretive lens based on an empathic view of AI. Therefore, we define a construct based on an empathic view of AI that transcends the dimension of pure automation and machine assistance in favour of an interactional dimension. We argue that research is needed both to develop a theory of the feeling economy and to pose research questions for further study. The study advances service management studies by systematising the concept and functions of AI in relation to emotions and identifying future development perspectives, and provides new insights for defining a service marketing construct in relation to AI and emotions

    High levels of BCL-2 messenger RNA detected by in situ hybridization in human hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinomas

    Immunocytochemistry has indicated that, in the liver, the bcl-2 gene is generally expressed in bile duct cells and tumors of biliary origin. Both in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry were used to analyze the expression of bcl-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) and its protein product (Bcl-2) in the tissue of 50 pure primary liver tumor (PLT) specimens including 40 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens and 10 cholangiocellular carcinoma (CC) specimens. The phenotype of the tumors expressing bcl-2 was confirmed by immunocytochemical assessment of the cytokeratin (CK) profile (CK8, CK18, CK7, and CK19). Whereas positive immunoreaction with the anti-Bcl-2 MoAb was revealed in only 8 (20%) of 40 HCC specimens and 1 (10%) of 10 CC specimens, high contents of bcl-2 mRNA were found in 26 (65%) of 40 HCC specimens and 9 (90%) of 10 CC specimens. Regarding the CK profile, only 25 (62%) of 40 HCC specimens showed pure hepatocytic lineage (CKs 8-18), whereas among the remaining 15 HCC specimens, positivity for either CK7 (12 specimens) or CK19 (5 specimens) was observed. All 10 CC specimens stained with CKs 8-18-19, and 8 of 10 stained with CK 7 as well. These results indicate that PLTs display a greater expression of bcl-2 mRNA than of the Bcl-2 protein. Furthermore, CK profile assessment confirmed that bcl-2 expression is not confined to liver tumors of biliary origin. In the absence of a well-demonstrated posttranscriptional control of the gene, the authors propose the detection of bcl-2 mRNA by in situ hybridization as a possible alternative method for assessing the expression of bcl-2 mRNA in PLT

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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
