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
Demographic And Clinical Features Of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis In Piauí, Brazil - Evaluation Of 98 Patients
No full texttIntroduction: Brazilian epidemiological studies on rheumatoid arthritis are scarce, mainly inthe northeast; thus many data currently available originate from the international literature. Objectives: To describe demographic, clinical and serological characteristics of patients withrheumatoid arthritis (RA) followed-up by the same physician, in state of Piauí, Brazil. Patients and methods: Data were collected between August 2010 and March 2013, in threehealth services of Piauí that provided health care in Rheumatology: a university-affiliatedhospital, a public outpatient clinic and a private clinic. Results: The numbers represent mean ± SD or percentage: 47.5 ± 11.03 years-old non-Caucasian woman, non-smoker (59.2%), low educational level, mean disease duration of7.7 years ± 7.6, and major extra-articular manifestations were rheumatoid nodules (19.4%)and sicca syndrome (46.9%).Conclusion: Features of rheumatoid arthritis obtained in this study are similar to those foundin some national and international studies, but we observed higher female preponder-ance and illiteracy rate, in addition to a moderately severe erosive disease on average, withfrequent sicca and other extra-articular manifestations.545360365Kobak, S., Demographic, clinical and serological features ofTurkish patients with rheumatoid arthritis: evaluation of 165patients (2011) Clin Rheumatol., 30, pp. 843-847Avouac, J., Gossec, L., Dougados, M., Diagnostic and predictivevalue of anti-cyclic citrullinated protein antibodies inrheumatoid arthritis: a systematic literature review (2006) AnnRheum Dis., 65, pp. 845-851Da Mota, L.M., Cruz, B.A., Brenol, C.V., Pereira, I.A., Fronza, L.S., Bertolo, M.B., Concensus of the Brazilian Society of Rheumatologyfor diagnosis and early assessment of rheumatoid arthritis (2011) Rev Bras Reumatol., 51, pp. 199-219Abdel-Nasser, A.M., Rasker, J.J., Valkenburg, H.A., Epidemiologicaland clinical aspects relating to the variability of rheumatoidarthritis (1997) Semin Arthritis Rheum., 27, p. 123Malaviya, A.N., Kapoor, S.K., Singh, R.R., Kumar, A., Pande, I., Prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis in the adult Indianpopulation (1993) Rheumatol Int., 13, pp. 131-134Alballa, S.R., The expression of rheumatoid arthritis in SaudiArabia (1995) Clin Rheumatol., 14, pp. 641-645David, J.M., Mattei, R.A., Mauad, J.L., Almeida, L.G., Nogueira, M.A., Menolli, P.V., Menolli, R.A., Clinical and laboratory features ofpatients with rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed atrheumatology services in the Brazilian municipality ofCascavel, PR, Brazil (2013) Rev Bras Reumatol., 53, pp. 57-65Moura, M.C., Zakszewski, P.T., Silva, M.B., Skare, T.L., Epidemiological profile of patients with extra-articularmanifestations of rheumatoid arthritis from the city ofCuritiba, south of Brazil (2012) Rev Bras Reumatol., 52, pp. 679-694Arnett, F.C., Edworthy, S.M., Bloch, D.A., McShane, D.J., Fries, J.F., Cooper, N.S., The American Rheumatism Association1987 revised criteria for the classification of rheumatoidarthritis (1988) Arthritis Rheum., 31, pp. 315-324Drosos, A.A., Lanchbury, J.S., Panayi, G.S., Mountsopoulos, H.M., Rheumatoid arthritis in Greek and British patients (1992) ArthritisRheum., 35, pp. 745-748Louzada-Junior, P., Sousa, B.D.B., Toledo, R.A., Ciconelli, R.M., Analisedescritiva das características demográficas e clinicas depacientes com artrite reumatoide no estado de São Paulo (2007) RevBras Reumatol., 47, pp. 84-90Vitali, C., Bombardieri, S., Jonsson, R., Moutsopoulos, H.M., Alexander, E.L., Carsons, E.S., Classification criteria forSjögren's syndrome: a revised version of the European criteriaproposed by the American-European Consensus Group (2002) AnnRheum Dis., 61 (6), pp. 554-558Calgüneri, M., Ureten, K., Akif Oztürk, M., Onat, A.M., Ertenli, I., Kiraz, S., Akdogan, A., Extra-articular manifestations ofrheumatoid arthritis: results of a university hospital of 526patients in Turkey (2006) Clin Exp Rheumatol., 24, pp. 305-308Bodur, H., Ataman, S., Akbulut, L., Evcik, D., Kavuncu, V., Kaya, T., Characteristics and medical management of patientswith rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (2008) ClinRheumatol., 27, pp. 1119-1125Veeparen, K., Mangat, G., Wanti, I., Dieppe, P., The expression ofrheumatoid arthritis in Malaysian and British patients: acomparative study (1993) Br Rheumatol., 32, pp. 541-545Al-Salem, I.H., Al-Awadli, A.M., The expression of rheumatoidarthritis in Kuwaiti patients in an outpatient hospital-basedpractice (2004) Med Princ Pract., 13, pp. 47-50Badsha, H., Kong, K.O., Tak, P.P., Rheumatoid arthritis in theUnited Arab Emirates (2008) Clinical Rheumatology., 27, pp. 739-742Netto, A.P., A necessidade imediata de um novo Censo Nacionalde Diabetes. http://www.diabetes.org.br/educacao-continuada/492, Sociedade Brasileira de Diabetes. 2006.

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.
