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
New strategies of active search, clinicoimmunobiological determinants and definition of hidden endemic leprosy in a low endemic municipality (Jardinópolis, SP)
No full textEmbora em decréscimo no mundo após implementação da poliquimioterapia, a hanseníase ainda se constitui num desafio em saúde pública. Buscou-se apresentar inovações e seus impactos na vigilância em hanseníase por modelos de ações de busca ativa com treinamento de equipes de saúde, aplicação do Questionário de Suspeição em Hanseníase (QSH), georreferenciamento e avaliação sorológica, aplicados à população carcerária e à comunidade de Jardinópolis no período 2015 a 2019. Foram desenvolvidos os artigos com seus respectivos destaques: no artigo \"Evidence of hidden leprosy in a supposedly low endemic area of Brazil\" demonstrou-se o despreparo das Equipes de Saúde para o reconhecimento clínico da hanseníase e que ações inovadoras de capacitação confirmaram a endemia oculta de hanseníase no município, sinalizando por georreferenciamento, áreas de maior risco de adoecimento. Numa população carcerária de 1250 indivíduos, o artigo \"Leprosy in a prison population: A new active search strategy and a prospective clinical analysis\" evidenciou a eficiência do QSH como ferramenta de triagem para novos casos da doença, confirmando prevalência oculta de hanseníase nessa população e que índices anti-PGL-I≥2 parecem se constituir num importante marcador de doença. No estudo \"Active search strategies, clinicoimmunobiological determinants and training for implementation research confirming the leprosy hidden endemic in the inner of São Paulo, Brazil\", com as ações de busca ativa aplicando QSH, capacitação profissional e matriciamento pelo dermatologista, consolidou-se o achado de endemia oculta, porém em todo município. Em 3.241 indivíduos da comunidade, o QSH se reafirmou como valioso instrumento no rastreio de casos novos de hanseníase, com destaque aos sintomas neurológicos da doença. Ainda como resultados, destacam-se o registro dos direitos autorais do QSH e mais dois estudos, a saber: \"Estesiometria por Monofilamentos de Semmes-Weinstein para definição de padrões de alteração de sensibilidade de mãos e pés no diagnóstico e acompanhamento da hanseníase\", no qual foi demonstrado que a estesiometria de mãos e pés por meio dos monofilamentos foi eficaz no estabelecimento do padrão neuropático sensitivo assimétrico e focal dos pacientes, destacando-se no diagnóstico da hanseníase, além de comprovar eficácia terapêutica. Por fim, no trabalho \"Hanseníase em menores de 15 anos: diferenças e impactos entre Campanha Nacional de Hanseníase e Ações de Implementação em Hanseníase no município de Jardinópolis\", foram descritos 12 casos novos de hanseníase em menores de 15 anos, buscando comparar as ações de busca ativa pela ficha de autoimagem e as demais ações realizadas no município, como QSH e avaliação de contato, além de descrever e mapear o elevado número de crianças com altos índices de anticorpo anti-PGL-I em toda a cidade. Conclui-se que as ações de busca ativa implementadas em Jardinópolis promoveram uma mudança nos indicadores epidemiológicos e, somados aos dados de georreferenciamento dos casos novos e dos índices anti-PGL-I, revelaram a endemia oculta da doença. O QSH se definiu como uma ferramenta para rastreio e educação em saúde dos profissionais e da população, demonstrando a relevância dos sintomas neurológicos frente aos sinais dermatológicos. Todas as ações implementadas desempenharam papel importante à gestão de saúde pública ao cuidado que a hanseníase merece.Although decreasing in the world after the implementation of multidrug therapy, leprosy is still a public health challenge. We sought to present innovations and their impacts on leprosy surveillance by models of active search actions with training of health teams, application of the Leprosy Suspicion Questionnaire (LSQ), georeferencing and serological assessment, applied to the prison population and the community of Jardinópolis in the period of 2015 to 2019. The articles were developed with their respective highlights: the article \"Evidence of hidden leprosy in a supposedly low endemic area of Brazil\" demonstrated the unpreparedness of the health teams for the clinical recognition of leprosy and that innovative training actions confirmed the hidden leprosy in the municipality, signaling by georeferencing, areas of greater risk of illness. In a prison population of 1,250 individuals, the article \"Leprosy in a prison population: A new active search strategy and a prospective clinical analysis\" showed the efficiency of LSQ as a screening tool for new leprosy cases, confirming the hidden leprosy in this population and that anti-PGL-I indexes ≥2 appear to be an important marker of disease. In the study \"Active search strategies, clinicoimmunobiological determinants and training for implementation research confirming the leprosy hidden endemic in the inner of São Paulo, Brazil\", with the active search actions applying LSQ, professional training and matricial practice by dermatologist, the hidden leprosy was consolidated, throughout the municipality. In 3,241 individuals in the community, the LSQ has reaffirmed itself as a valuable tool in the screening of new leprosy cases, with emphasis on the neurological symptoms of the disease. Also as results, we highlight the copyright registration of the LSQ and two more studies, namely: \"Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament esthesiometry for the definition of patterns of alteration in the sensitivity of the hands and feet in the diagnosis and follow-up of leprosy\", in which it was demonstrated that hand and foot esthesiometry through monofilaments was effective in establishing the asymmetric and focal sensitive neuropathic pattern of patients, standing out in the leprosy diagnosis, in addition to proving therapeutic efficacy. Finally, in the work \"Leprosy in children under 15: differences and impacts between the National Leprosy Campaign and Leprosy Implementation Actions in the municipality of Jardinópolis, São Paulo, Brazil\", 12 new leprosy cases in children under 15 years were described, comparing the active search actions by the self-image sheet and the other actions carried out in the municipality, such as LSQ and household contacts assessment, in addition to describing and mapping the high number of children with high levels of anti-PGL-I antibody throughout the city. It is concluded that the active search actions implemented in Jardinópolis promoted a change in the epidemiological indicators and, added to the georeferencing data of new cases and anti-PGL-I indexs, revealed the hidden leprosy. The LSQ was defined as a tool for screening and health education for professionals and the population, demonstrating the relevance of neurological symptoms in face of dermatological signs. All actions implemented played an important role in public health management in the care that leprosy deserves
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.
