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
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

Comparative Evaluation of Robinson’s Cytological Grading with Elston and Ellis’ Nottingham Modification of Bloom Richardson Histopathology Grading for Breast Carcinoma
No full textBackground: Cytological grading of mammary carcinoma provides useful information about prognosis. It also helps in selecting therapy. Aim: This study has been carried out to compare correlation of Robinson’s cytological grading with modified Bloom Richardson grading system of infiltrating ductal carcinoma in histology.
Material and method: 59 FNAC smears of, invasive breast carcinoma, were graded according to the Robinson’s grading system. Corresponding histology sections were graded according to Elston and Ellis’ Nottingham modification of Bloom Richardson method.
Result: On cytology, there were 24, 26 and 9 cases of grade I, II and III tumor respectively while on histology 25, 24 and 10 cases of grade I, II and III tumor respectively. The concordance rate between cytology and histology grades were 79.16%, 73.07% and 66.66% for grade I, II and III tumor respectively. Absolute concordance rate was 74.57%.
Conclusion: Apart from being simple and non-invasive, cytologic grading method is comparable with histologic grading system. It might provide information about aggressiveness of tumor and is useful parameter while selecting neo adjuvant chemotherapy in patients of breast carcinoma
A Case of Malignant Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma and Review of The Literature
No full textLow grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare pelvic malignancy that arises from the endometrium. This article describes the morphological features of one such tumour discovered as finding in a hysterectomy specimen of a 32-year lady with a clinical diagnosis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding with multiple fibroids. Morphological and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed and a final diagnosis of low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma was given. This report is aimed to present a case of endometrial stromal tumor because of its rare existence and difficulties in establishing histological diagnosis
