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
Tropismo Cellular do HIV: do diagnóstico à evolução viral
No full textHIV-1 tropism to co-receptors CCR5 or CXCR4 relates to disease progression and cytopathic effects of the virus. Furthermore, antagonists to co-receptors have become valuable addition to the arsenal of antiretroviral drugs. Assessing co-receptor tropism is mandatory for the prescription of these drugs. Phenotypic assays are usually recommended over genotypic assays to infer co-receptor tropism. The prediction on maintaining or switching HIV-1 co-receptor usage over time is still uncertain. Here in this thesis we have presented a new phenotypic tropism assay and evaluated evolution of co-receptor tropism in two different cohorts of individuals infected with HIV-1. First, we have successfully developed a new phenotypic assay based on 450 bp C2V3 region of HIV-1 envelope. Initially, this phenotypic assay is developed with reference HIV-1 strains with known tropism and validated with the TRT phenotypic assay that uses a slightly bigger fragment (~750 bp) compared to our assay. One of the major advantages of the tropism assay developed herein is the small fragment size and the possibility of adaption to use with proviral DNA and could be used to infer tropism for individuals with plasma viral load 50% and remained R5 during the study period whereas individuals showing viruses with a co-receptor switch to CXCR4 use had baseline FPR50%, mantendo-se portadores de variantes R5 durante o período de estudo enquanto que os indivíduos que mostram virus com mudanca de tropismo para CXCR4 apresentavam FPR basal <50%. A análise de regressão logística foi realizada para determinar o potencial de FPR em prever a mudança de tropismo ao longo do tempo. Determinou-se que os pacientes com vírus com FPR superior a 40,6% apresentaram virus com FPR estável ao longo do tempo, ao passo que FPRs mais baixas tendem a queda progressiva destes valores progressivamente levando a aparecimento de cepas trópicas pelo CXCR4. A área sob a curva ROC para o nível de corte previsto era de 98%. Por último, temos estudado o impacto do uso da talidomida sobre tropismo do HIV em um ensaio clínico piloto aberto, randomizado, prova de conceito realizado em trinta indivíduos masculinos adultos virgens de tratamento antirretroviral infectadas pelo HIV. Embora o uso de talidomida resultasse em uma diminuição da relação CD4/CD8 (p=0,08) e contagens de células T CD4 (p=0,04) no grupo de tratamento comparado ao grupo controle, no entanto, estas alterações observadas foram independentes do subtipo do HIV-1 e tropismo do virus, sendo que não houve influência do uso de talidomida no tropismo do HIV-1 ao longo do tempo em comparação ao grupo controle.Dados abertos - Sucupira - Teses e dissertações (2013 a 2016
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
