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
Evaluation of immunoscore as A indicator in predicing prognosis and oncological results in patients with bladder tumor
No full textMesane kanseri, üriner sistemin en sık görülen malignitesidir ve tüm kanserler içerisinde en sık tanı konulan dokuzuncu kanserdir. Mesane kanserlerinin %90'ından fazlası transizyonel hücreli ürotelyal karsinomdur. Vakaların %25' ine kasa invazif mesane kanseri tanısı konur. Mesane kanseri hastalarının kalan %75'i kasa invazif olmayan mesane kanseridir; bu hastalarda kanser mukoza (evre Ta, Karsinoma in Situ [CIS]) veya submukoza (evre T1) ile sınırlıdır. Kasa invaze olmayan mesane kanseri vakalarının yaklaşık %70' i tekrarlamaktadır ve %15 'inde de evre ve derece ilerlemektedir. Bu nedenle bu hastaların sıkı bir şekilde takip edilmeleri gerekmektedir, bu durum da mesane kanserini yönetilmesi en pahalı kanserlerden biri yapar. İmmünskor testi, kanser sınıflaması için standartlaştırılmış ilk immün tabanlı testtir. Bu test için, tümör merkezi ve invazif margin içindeki CD3 + T hücrelerinin ve CD8 + sitotoksik T hücrelerinin yoğunlukları, formalinle sabitlenmiş parafine gömülmüş doku kesitlerinde immunohistokimyasal yöntemlerle boyanarak değerlendirilir. İmmünskor testi ilk olarak kolon kanserinde kullanılmış ve prognozu TNM evrelemesinden daha iyi kestirebildiği gösterilmiştir. İmmünskor testinin kolon kanserinin yanı sıra pankreas, akciğer, karaciğer, deri, böbrek ve meme kanseri ile bazı kanserlerin beyin metastazlarıyla ilgili çalışmaları mevcuttur. Çalışmamızda mesane kanserleri hastalarda immünskorun tespit edilerek prognostik belirteç olarak kullanılıp kullanılamayacağını araştırmayı amaçladık. Çalışmamıza kliniğimizde 2009-2019 yılları arasında mesane kanseri nedeniyle tedavi edilen toplam 610 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalara dahil edilme ve dışlanma kriterleri uygulandıktan sonra kalan 405 hastanın pair matching yöntemiyle eşleştirilmesine karar verildi. Yaş (± 4), cinsiyet (erkek ve kadın), sigara içme durumu (eski içici ve aktif içici) ve hastalık evresine göre (Ta, T1, T2) hastalar eşleştirildi ve 23 pTa, 57 pT1, 57 pT2 ürotelyal karsinomlu toplam 137 hasta tespit edildi. Bu hastaların immünskorları tespit edilerek sonuçlar tümör boyutları, tümör sayıları, progresyon gibi bir çok parametre açısından karşılaştırıldı. Tespit ettiğimiz en önemli iki sonuçtan ilki CD3 immünskor ile Ta, T1 ve T2 hasta grupları arasında anlamlı farklılığın olmasıydı. Diğeri ise ekstravezikal hastalık açısından gruplar arasında immünskor bakımından anlamlı farklılık olmasıdır. Ekstravezikal hastalık olmayan hastaların çıkartılarak bu farkın ayrıntısı değerlendirildiğinde sadece uzak metastazı olan hasta grubunda, immünskor 0 ve 1 olarak tanımlanan yüksek riskli immünskor seviyeleri olan hastaların düşük riskli immünskor seviyeleri olanlardan fazla olduğu görülmüştür.Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the urinary system. It is the ninth most frequently diagnosed cancer among all cancers. More than 90% of bladder cancers are transitional cell urothelial carcinoma. A total of 25% of the cases are diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The remaining 75% of bladder cancer patients are non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. In these patients, the tumor is limited to the mucosa (stage Ta, Carcinoma in Situ [CIS]) or submucosa (stage T1). Approximately 70% of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer cases recur, and 15% of them progress in stage and grade. Therefore, these patients need to be closely monitored, making bladder cancer one of the most expensive cancers to manage. The immunoscore test is the first standardized immuno-based test for cancer classification. For this test, the densities of CD3 + T cells and CD8 + cytotoxic T cells in the tumor center and the invasive margin are evaluated by immunohistochemical staining in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. The immunoscore testing was first used in colon cancer, and it has been shown to predict the prognosis better than TNM staging. The immunoscore test has studies on pancreatic, lung, liver, skin, kidney, and breast cancer and brain metastases in some cancers in addition to colon cancer. Our study aimed to investigate whether immunscore test can be used in patients with bladder cancer as a prognostic marker. A total of 610 patients treated for bladder cancer in our clinic between 2009-2019 were included in our study. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to the patients, it was decided to match the remaining 405 patients using the pair matching method. Patients were matched by age (± 4), gender (male and female), smoking status (former smoker and active smoker), and disease stage (Ta, T1, T2), and a total of 137 patients with urothelial carcinoma 23 pTa, 57 pT1, 57 pT2 detected. Immunoscores of these patients were determined, and the results were compared in terms of many parameters, such as tumor size, tumor number, and progression. The first of the two most important results we detected was a significant difference between CD3 immunity and Ta, T1, and T2 patient groups. The other is that there is a significant difference between the groups in terms of extravesical disease in terms of immunscore. When the details of this difference were evaluated by excluding the patients without the extravesical disease, it was seen that only the patients with distant metastases had high-risk immunscore levels, defined as immunscore 0 and 1, higher than those with low-risk immunscore levels.Bu araştırma Selçuk Üniversitesi Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri Koordinatörlüğü tarafından 20122003 proje numarası ile desteklenmiştir

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.
