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
Thoracic Oncology Highlights from the European Society for Medical Oncology Annual Meeting 2022
No full textThe European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) annual meeting took place in Paris in September 2022. The conference added a number of relevant study updates and novel treatment concepts. We report on highlights in the field of thoracic oncology. The topics cover oncogene-driven and immunotherapy-based therapeutic concepts in metastatic and non-metastatic NSCLC
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
Szintigraphische und biokinetische Untersuchungen mit einem Tc-99m markierten murinen monoklonalen Antikörper (MAb 425) gegen den Epidermal-growth-factor-Rezeptor bei gynäkologischen Tumoren
No full textMit dem murinen monoklonalen Antikörper MAb 425 ist prinzipiell die immunszintigraphische Lokalisationsdiagnostik und die Rezeptorbestimmung in vivo bei EGF-Rezeptor überexprimierenden gynäkolgischen Tumoren möglich. In der durchgeführten Studie in der 17 Patientinnen mit gynäkologischen Tumoren untersucht wurden, konnte in einigen Fällen der Primärtumor/ bzw. das Lokalrezidiv und auch Metastasen nachgewiesen werden. Bei 6 von 11 Patientinnen mit Primärtumor und/oder Lokalrezidiv konnte mit der EGF-Rezeptorszintigraphie der Tumor nachgewiesen werden, bei paraaortaler Lymphknotenmetastasierung waren es 5 von 8 Patientinnen. Insbesondere bei Patientinnen mit undifferenzierten, fortgeschrittenen Plattenepithel-Karzinomen, v. a. mit Zervix-Karzinom (und evtl. paraaortaler Lymphknotenmetastasierung) scheint eine Überexpression häufiger vorzukommen und damit die Möglichkeit gegeben den Tumor und/oder die Metastasen mit dieser Methode nachzuweisen. Auch in den Fällen, bei denen im Vorfeld die EGFR-Überexpression mittels immunhistologischer Verfahren nachgewiesen wurde, besteht mit der anti-EGF-Rezeptorszintigraphie ein sinnvoller Ansatz eine Lokalisationsdiagnostik vorzunehmen. Die Sensitivität dieser Methode ist aber zu gering, um sie als Staging-Verfahren bei diesen Tumoren zu verwenden. Bei den biokinetischen Messungen zeigte sich für den verwendeten Antikörper eine 3-Phasen Kinetik mit einer schnellen Elimination aus dem Blutpool (T ½ = 6,5 min.), einer Verteilung (T ½ = 53 min.) und einer weiteren Distribution und gleichzeitige Elimination (T ½ = 21,9 h). Diese Ergebnisse decken sich mit den Daten von anderen Arbeitsgruppen und können als Grundlage für dosimetrische Berechnungen für radioimmuntherapeutische Ansätze mit dem genannten Antikörper dienen. Hervorzuheben ist die Tatsache, dass mit der antiEGFRezeptorszintigraphie der EGF-Rezeptorstatus in vivo bestimmt werden kann. Dies könnte in Zukunft Implikationen haben für die Selektion von Patientinnen für bestimmte Therapieformen deren Zielstruktur der Rezeptor selbst (wie z.B. Cetuximab/Erbitux®) oder dessen Signaltransduktions-Kaskade (wie z. B. Gefitinib/Iressa® oder Erlotinib/Tarceva®) darstellt. Prinzipiell ist auch eine mögliche Änderung der Rezeptorexpression im Verlauf einer solchen Therapie nachweisbar, was Auswirkungen auf die Therapiestrategie haben könnte. Dies müsste in weiteren Studien näher untersucht werden
