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
Drug of abuse talk and sharing session / Saliha Azlan
Get PDFThe Drug of Abuse Talk and Sharing Session, organised collaboratively by students of the Drug of Abuse (PHC665) course and the Society of Pharmacy Students (SOPHYS) at Universiti Teknologi MARA, took place on 5th June 2024 at Dewan Kuliah 7, FF4, Faculty of Pharmacy, UiTM Puncak Alam Campus. This academic initiative was designed to provide participants, primarily students enrolled in PHC665 (Drug of Abuse), with an immersive exploration into the complexities of addiction, emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical insights into recovery methodologies
Kenal ubat, kekal sihat = know your medication, stay healthy: diabetes bukan sekadar manis = beyond just sweetness / Saliha Azlan
Get PDFIn a commendable effort to enhance health awareness and promote healthy living practices, the Faculty of Pharmacy from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Puncak Alam campus, organised a community campaign titled “Kenal Ubat, Kekal Sihat” with the theme “Diabetes: Bukan sekadar manis.” This significant event took place on May 18, 2024, at Dewan Tun Razak, Pekan Sabak Bernam. The campaign's primary goal was to raise awareness about the importance of understanding the medications used to manage diabetes mellitus (DM) and to provide comprehensive knowledge about this prevalent health condition. By increasing awareness and education, the campaign aimed to empower individuals to take proactive steps in managing their health, thereby enhancing their quality of life
Alumni series: understanding mental health what, when, who, and beyond / Saliha Azlan
Get PDFWhat is Mental Health? Mental health is a fundamental aspect of our overall well-being. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is defined as "a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well, work well, and contribute to their community." It plays a vital role in our ability to make decisions, build relationships, and shape the world around us. What is Mental Health Disorder? On the other hand, mental health disorders are characterized by clinically significant disturbances in an individual's cognition, emotional regulation, or behavior. These disturbances are typically associated with distress or impairment in important areas of functioning. In short, mental disorders are conditions that significantly affect an individual's mental and emotional well-being. When Does Intervention Become Necessary? The point at which intervention becomes necessary varies from person to person. It often depends on the severity of the mental health disorder and its impact on an individual's life. Common signs and symptoms of mental disorders include significant impairment, disturbances in behavior, emotions, and relationships. Recognizing these signs is crucial to determine when intervention is needed
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
