No full textIntroduction to Team STEPPS as a Resource for Interprofessional PracticeTo address the increasing complexity and rising cost of health care, emphasis has been directed toward interprofessional team-based health care (Gonzalo et al., 2017). Team-based practice requires competencies beyond those of professional competence. In addition to knowledge of basic and clinical sciences, health care providers must possess non-technical skills in the areas of task management, teamwork, leadership, situation awareness, and decision making (Naik & Brien, 2013). These skills, along with effective communication, lay the foundation for successful professional relationships and high functioning teams. A systematic review on the experiences of health professionals regarding interprofessional collaboration in primary health care settings found that practitioners experience of teamwork is based on integration, trust, respect, openness to collaboration, a feeling of belonging, humility, and time to listen and talk (Sangaleti, Schveitzer, Peduzzi, Zoboli, & Soares, 2017). The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) identified four core competencies for interprofessional practice: values and ethics; roles and responsibilities; interprofessional communication; and teams and teamwork (InterprofessionalEducationCollaborative, 2016). This session will explore the skills necessary for effective team-based practice using the Team STEPPS framework. Team STEPPS is an evidence-based program developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Department of Defense ( DoD) with the goal of improving the performance of health care teams and, ultimately, patient care and safety ( About TeamSTEPPS, April 2017). Team STEPPS is used across the healthcare continuum, from hospital and long-term care settings to primary care and dental clinics. The framework addresses the leadership, communication, situation monitoring, and mutual support skills necessary for high functioning teams. Using a combination of active and didactic strategies, this session will provide an overview of Team STEPPS concepts and introduce participants to specific tools that will allow Doctors of Chiropractic to communicate with other health care professionals. This session will address common communication challenges and provide strategies for improving communication among providers and with patients and families. Participants will also be introduced to tools to help them lead teams and address conflicts. Situation monitoring is the ability to assess the environment and detect potential areas of confusion, and participants will be given tools to help them establish mutual understanding among team members. Finally, the session will address the importance of mutual support as the ability to assist another team member or provide constructive feedback. Interprofessional teamwork involves negotiation and shared decision making, mutual respect, and trust. It requires providers to be able to explain their own role in patient care and respect the important roles of the other providers on the team. Team STEPPS provides evidence-based, commonly accepted tools to enable chiropractors to participate as effective members of interprofessional teams. ReferencesAbout TeamSTEPPS. (April 2017).

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
