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
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
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
Awareness of obstetric and gynecology physiotherapy interventions among physiotherapy students
No full textBackground: Physiotherapists are trained to assess the cause of injury, disorder on movement and function and have the skill to provide a comprehensive treatment plan to help restore function. Physiotherapists treat the patient on assessment, clinical examination, evaluation, and diagnosis of the condition to recover the neuromuscular -skeletal and Cardiopulmonary efficiencies of the patient. The term, physiotherapy is acknowledged in the 18th century. In India, it completes 67 years.
Materials and Methods: Apparently, an approved questionnaire was sent through a Google form link to 500 physiotherapy students. 300 responses were received and analyzed. Out of 300, 168 of the respondents were female and 132 were male. All willing physiotherapy students, graduate and post graduate were included, whereas students and non internet users were excluded.
Result: From the study, it was learned that there is awareness regarding antenatal and postnatal physiotherapy (87%), The survey has been completed with the 300 responses for the awareness of obstetrics and gynecology physiotherapy intervention among physiotherapy students The response rate was 59.7% based on 300 response s out of 500. In which 168 were female and 132 were male. Age group between 18 to 30 years
Conclusion: This study suggests that among the participants, most of the physiotherapy students 87% are aware that physiotherapy can be helpful in obstetrics and gynecology conditions. Even then participants have lesser knowledge regarding the physiotherapy intervention that can be administered for the various conditions. Physiotherapy student needs more knowledge and awareness about the subject so that the physiotherapy in this filed could develop more and could prove itself to be a great resource in the medical field
