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
O Cotidiano do cuidado em saúde mental: memórias e representações sociais de trabalhadores
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em EnfermagemPor muito tempo, os portadores de doenças mentais foram considerados alienados. Eram vistos como pessoas que viviam fora da realidade, sem capacidade para entender e exercer seus direitos. Hoje essa história mudou e a luta diária é para que os usuários dos serviços de Saúde Mental possam ter um tratamento qualificado e humanizado. Contudo, apesar dos avanços do modelo assistencial e da proposta de humanização do cuidado, o processo de reforma psiquiátrica apresenta heterogeneidade em relação à velocidade da implementação das políticas propostas, e Manaus aparece neste contexto como uma das últimas capitais brasileiras a implementar os serviços substitutivos do manicômio. Vivenciando esta realidade e buscando compreender essas questões, desenvolveu-se a tese de que existem elementos nas Representações Sociais dos trabalhadores em Saúde Mental do Centro Psiquiátrico Eduardo Ribeiro - CPER que guiam a forma e a organização do cuidado em Saúde Mental e que podem influenciar na implementação dos dispositivos substitutivos do Manicômio. Para validá-la, delineamos como objetivo geral desta pesquisa compreender as representações sociais e memórias sobre o cuidado dos Trabalhadores de Saúde Mental do Centro Psiquiátrico Eduardo Ribeiro em Manaus/AM. O estudo foi qualitativo, na modalidade do estudo de caso único sobre as representações sociais dos trabalhadores sobre o cuidado. Os participantes foram 24 trabalhadores, tendo como critérios de inclusão: trabalhar diretamente com o paciente e possuir tempo médio de vínculo institucional de 20 anos. As informações foram obtidas através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, que se desenvolveram no primeiro semestre do ano de 2010, em Manaus. A exploração do conteúdo das entrevistas foi realizada com base na análise de conteúdo categorial temática. Nos resultados obtidos destacam-se as lembranças dos trabalhadores, marcadas por um primeiro momento, nomeadas como #era muita gente#, caracterizado pelo grande número de pacientes, pela falta de infraestrutura para abrigá-los, pela precariedade dos equipamentos e pelo reduzido número de profissionais com formação para atuarem na atenção em saúde mental. As memórias sobre o momento que nomeamos como #a primeira reforma# apontaram as mudanças na estrutura da instituição, com a construção de novos pavilhões, redistribuição dos internos de acordo com as necessidades de atenção, abertura de concursos públicos para ingresso de profissionais que integraram a equipe multiprofissional e implementação de projetos terapêuticos e laborais. As representações dos trabalhadores sobre o cuidado foram organizadas como cuidado (des)humano, cuidado como escuta e como estar-junto. Os trabalhadores em saúde mental do CPER expressaram, em seus depoimentos, transformações significativas nos modos de cuidar ao longo do tempo, destacando aspectos relacionados, principalmente, à proximidade dos profissionais com a gestão e à capacidade de escuta e de relacionamento interpessoal entre profissionais, pacientes e familiares como importantes estratégias de mudanças na atenção à saúde mental. O presente estudo foi encaminhado à avaliação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos, da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina # CEP/UFSC, aprovado pelo Parecer n 315/2009For a long time, the mentally ill were considered alienated. They were seen as people living outside reality, unable to understand and exercise their rights. Nowadays the story has changed and there is a daily struggle for users of mental health service receiving a skilled and humane treatment. However, despite advances in caregiving model and the proposal of caregiving humanization, the psychiatric reform process presents heterogeneity relative to the implementation speed of the proposed policies, and Manaus appears in this context as one of the last Brazilian capital to implement caregiving services substituting those of insane asylums. Experiencing this reality and trying to understand these issues, it was developed a thesis that there are elements in the social representations of mental health workers in Eduardo Ribeiro Psychiatric Center - ERCP guiding the shape and organization of mental health care that may influence the implementation of substitute devices to the insane asylum. To validate it, the general objective outlined to this research is understanding the social representations and memories on caregiving of mental health workers in Eduardo Ribeiro Psychiatric Center in Manaus / AM. The study was qualitative, as single case study on the staff representations about social care. 24 workers participated, with the following inclusion criteria: working directly with patients and having an average institutional affiliation of 20 years. Information was obtained through semi-structured interviews, developed in the first semester of 2010, in Manaus. The exploitation of the interviews content was based on the thematic category analysis. In the results obtained the workers memories were remarkable, marked by a first time, named as "there were many people" characterized by a large number of patients, lack of infrastructure to house them, precariousness of equipment and few professionals trained to work in mental healthcare. The memories of the time we have named as the "first reformation" showed changes in the institution structure, with the construction of new pavilions, patient redistribution according to care needs, opening of public selection for the entry of professionals to integrate the multidisciplinary team and implementation of therapeutic and labour projects. Workers' caregiving representations were carefully organized as (un) human care, care as listening and care as being-together. Mental health workers of ERCP expressed, in their statements, significant changes in care modes over time, detaching related aspects, mainly, to the proximity of professionals with management, and listening skills and interpersonal relationships among professionals, patients and family members as important tactics for change in mental healthcare. The present study was referred to the evaluation of the Ethics in Human Research Committee, of Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - CEP / UFSC approved by Opinion No. 315/200
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
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
