Predicting short-term conversion from CIS to MS: Relevance of lesion distribution
Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) describes a first symptomatic neurologic episode that is consistent with multiple sclerosis (MS), lasts at least 24 hours, occurs in the absence of fever or infection, and presents without encephalopathy.(1) Its cause is inflammation or demyelination in one (i.e., monofocal episode) or multiple areas (i.e., multifocal episode) of the CNS. Symptoms are those commonly found in MS and include, for example, optic neuritis, sensory or motor signs, partial myelitis, and bladder or bowel dysfunction.(1)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
