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
Shear Stress and Endothelial Mechanotransduction in Trauma Patients with Hemorrhagic Shock: Hidden Coagulopathy Pathways and Novel Therapeutic Strategies
No full textMassive trauma remains a leading cause of death and a global public health burden. Post-traumatic coagulopathy may be present even before the onset of resuscitation, and correlates with severity of trauma. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the development of abnormal coagulation processes, but the heterogeneity in injuries and patient profiles makes it difficult to define a dominant mechanism. Regardless of the pattern of death, a significant role in the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of coagulopathy may be attributed to the exposure of endothelial cells to abnormal physical forces and mechanical stimuli in their local environment. In these conditions, the cellular responses are translated into biochemical signals that induce/aggravate oxidative stress, inflammation, and coagulopathy. Microvascular shear stress-induced alterations could be treated or prevented by the development and use of innovative pharmacologic strategies that effectively target shear-mediated endothelial dysfunction, including shear-responsive drug delivery systems and novel antioxidants, and by targeting the venous side of the circulation to exploit the beneficial antithrombogenic profile of venous endothelial cells
On the Intensity of the Microvascular Magnetic Field in Normal State and Septic Shock
No full textBackground: Capillary tortuosity is a morphological variant of microcirculation. However, the mechanisms by which tortuous vessels meet metabolic requirements in health and disease remain unknown. We recently reported that capillary tortuosity score (CTS) is significantly higher in patients with septic shock than in steady-state individuals, and that CTS is significantly associated with alveolar-to-arterial oxygen (A-a O2) gradient and oxygen debt in septic shock patients. Objective: We aimed to investigate the characteristics of the magnetic fields in the sublingual microcirculation of individuals with normal physiology and patients with septic shock. Methods: Systemic hemodynamics were recorded, and sublingual microcirculation was monitored using sidestream dark field (SDF+) imaging. The number of capillary red blood cells (NRBC), the intensity of the magnetic field of a red blood cell (HRBC), the intensity of the magnetic field of each capillary (HCAP), and the intensity with which the magnetic field of a capillary acts on an RBC (FCAP) were calculated. Results: Significant differences in macro- and microhemodynamic variables were observed between the two groups. Although NRBC was significantly higher in individuals with steady-state physiology [87.4 (87.12) vs. 12.23 (6.9)], HRBC was significantly stronger in patients with septic shock [5.9 × 10−16 (6.9 × 10−16) A m−1 vs. 1.6 × 10−15 (1.4 × 10−15) A m−1]. No significant difference was observed in HCAP [2.16 × 10−14 (2.17 × 10−14) A m−1 vs. 1.34 × 10−14 (1.23 × 10−14) A m−1] and FCAP [1.66 × 10−24 (3.36 × 10−24) A m−1 vs. 6.44 × 10−25 (1.1 × 10−24) A m−1] between the two groups. In patients with septic shock, HRBC was associated with De Backer score (rho = −0.608) and venous–arterial carbon dioxide difference (rho = 0.569). In the same group, HCAP was associated with convective oxygen flow (rho = 0.790) and oxygen extraction ratio (rho = −0.596). Also, FCAP was significantly associated with base deficit (rho = 0.701), A-a O2 gradient (rho = 0.658), and oxygen debt (rho = −0.769). Conclusions: Despite the microcirculatory impairment in patients with septic shock, HRBC was significantly stronger in that group than in steady-state individuals. Also, HCAP and FCAP were comparable between the two groups. Tortuous vessels may function as biomagnetic coils that amplify RBC-induced magnetic fields, enhancing perfusion and oxygenation of adjacent tissues
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
