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
Sélection automatisée d'informations crédibles sur la santé en ligne
Get PDFIntroduction : Le contenu en ligne est une source significative et primordiale pour les utilisateurs à la recherche d'informations liées à la santé. Pour éviter la désinformation, il est crucial d'automatiser l'évaluation de la fiabilité des sources et de vérification de la véracité des informations.
Objectif : Cette étude visait à d’automatiser l'identification de la qualité des sources de santé en ligne. Pour cela, deux éléments complémentaires de qualité ont été automatisés : (1) L'évaluation de la fiabilité des sources d’information liée à la santé, en tenant compte des critères de la HONcode, et (2) L’appréciation de la véracité des informations, avec la base de données PubMed comme source de vérité.
Méthodes : Dans cette étude, nous avons analysé 538 pages Web en englais provenant de 43 sites Web. Dans la première phase d’évaluation de la fiabilité des sources, nous avons classé les critères HONcode en deux niveaux : le "niveau pages Web" (autorité, complémentarité, justifiabilité, et attribution) et le "niveau sites Web" (confidentialité, transparence, divulgation financière et politique publicitaire). Pour le niveau pages Web, nous avons annoté 200 pages manuellement et appliqué trois modèles d’apprentissage machine (ML) : Forêt aléatoire (RF), machines à vecteurs de support (SVM) et le transformateur BERT. Pour le niveau sites Web, nous avons identifié des sacs de mots et utilisé un modèle basé sur des règles. Dans la deuxième phase de l’appréciation de la véracité des informations, les contenus des pages Web ont été catégorisées en trois catégories de contenu (séméiologie, épidémiologie et gestion) avec BERT. Enfin, l’automatisation de l’extraction des requêtes PubMed basée sur les termes MeSH a permis d’extraire et de comparer automatiquement les 20 articles les plus pertinents avec le contenu des pages Web.
Résultats : Pour le niveau page Web, le modèle BERT a obtenu une meilleure aire sous la courbe (AUC) de 96 %, 98 % et 100 % pour les phrases neutres, la justifiabilité et l'attribution respectivement. SVM a présenté une meilleure performance pour la classification de la complémentarité (AUC de 98 %). Enfin, SVM et BERT ont obtenu une AUC de 98 % pour le critère d'autorité. Pour le niveau sites Web, le modèle basé sur des règles a récupéré les pages Web avec une précision de 97 % pour la confidentialité, 82 % pour la transparence, 51 % pour la divulgation financière et la politique publicitaire. Finalement, pour l’appréciation de la véracité des informations, en moyenne, 23 % des phrases ont été automatiquement vérifiées par le modèle pour chaque page Web.
Conclusion : Cette étude souligne l'importance des modèles transformateurs et l'emploi de PubMed comme référence essentielle pour accomplir les deux tâches cruciales dans l'identification de sources d'information fiables en ligne : l’évaluation de la fiabilité des sources et vérifier la véracité des contenus. Finalement, notre recherche pourrait servir à améliorer le développement d’une approche d’évaluation automatique de la crédibilité des sites Web sur la santé.Introduction: Online content is a significant and primary source for many users seeking healthrelated information. To prevent misinformation, it's crucial to automate the assessment of
reliability of sources and fact-checking of information.
Objective: This study aimed to automate the identification of the credibility of online information
sources. For this, two complementary quality elements were automated: (1) The reliability
assessment of health-related information, considering the HONcode criteria, and (2) The factchecking of the information, using PubMed articles as a source of truth.
Methods: In this study, we analyzed 538 English webpages from 43 websites. In the first phase of
credibility assessment of the information, we classified the HONcode criteria into two levels: the
“web page level” (authority, complementarity, justifiability, and attribution) and the “website
level” (confidentiality, transparency, financial disclosure, and advertising policy). For the web
page level, we manually annotated 200 pages and applied three machine learning (ML) models:
Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM) and the BERT Transformer. For those at
website level criteria, we identified the bags of words and used a rule-based model. In a second
phase of fact-checking, the contents of the web pages were categorized into three themes
(semiology, epidemiology, and management) with BERT. Finally, for automating the factchecking of information, the automation of PubMed queries extraction using MeSH terms made it
possible to automatically extract and compare the 20 most relevant articles with the content of the
web pages.
Results: For the web page level the BERT model obtained the best area under the curve (AUC) of
96%, 98% and 100% for neutral sentences, justifiability and attribution respectively. SVM showed
a better performance for complementarity classification (AUC of 98%). Finally, SVM and BERT
obtained an AUC of 98% for the authority criterion. For the websites level, the rules-based model
retrieved web pages with an accuracy of 97% for privacy, 82% for transparency, 51% for financial
disclosure and advertising policy. Finally, for fact-checking, on average, 23% of sentences were
automatically checked by the model for each web page.
Conclusion: This study emphasized the significance of Transformers and leveraging PubMed as
a key reference for two critical tasks: assessing source reliability and verifying information
accuracy. Ultimately, our research stands poised to significantly advance the creation of an
automated system for evaluating the credibility of health websites
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

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.
