No full textSystematic review on the use of information technology in dentistry education
No full textOBJECTIVES The aim of the article is to analyse how to use the information technologies for the sanitary education and training in dentistry. This systematic review analyses how the use of these informatics technologies facilitate the dental team formation. The aim is to understand which informatics technologies MATERIALS AND METHODS The systematic review has been performed with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta- Analyses), that is the guide line for the report of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of health operations. Has been done a checklist of 27 item and a flow diagram of four steps. A Systematic review of English/ other languages published articles has been performed first using PubMed, IEEE e Wiley Online Library. By launching same researches in any of the database emerged that PubMed is the most suitable for this review, and so was chosen as unique source for the systematic review. The time interval of the research has been 2017-2020. The “Journal Article” has been the type of article selected. The terms used for the research has been: Dentistry, dental, odontology, E-Learning and elearning. The bibliographic research in PubMed database identified 214 Journals. Then 153 has been excluded considering the report elegibility criteria, the language filters, the type of article, the publication status and year of publication. Among those 61 Journals there was a duplicate that has been eliminated. Through the screening (analysis of title and abstract) have been excluded 8 Journals because not inherent. Through the screening (analysis of the full text) have been excluded 9 more articles. The studies included in the qualitative summary are a total of 43. RESULTS It is possible to summarize the results underling that have been found all the informations researched for any article included in the qualitative summary. From all those informations derived that has been performed a high number of research especially in 2019, with a total number of 16. Another important data concern the recipient stakeholders: In all the articles the recipients of the research are always Universities. For what concern the activities proposed or performed for the e-learning, have been several and divided into 20 main typologies. Among these the most used have been: Video lecture, Mobile learning, Blended learning and e-learning platforms. CONCLUSIONS The use of information technologies has been positively evaluated. For what concern how to use the information technologies for the sanitary education and training in dentistry, among the macro categories of related to educational activities prevailed the simulations and the virtual laboratories. Moreover has been registered a high consolidation of the academic training activity. The evaluation of those proposed and/or used typologies has been on everage positive, registering only two cases of negative evaluation in the total. We hope to repeat the same research activity at the end of Covid-19 Emergency period, to better understand how informatics technologies changed during this period. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Although there is no absolute evidence of the greater effectiveness of training mediated by information technologies, it is evident that they are increasingly used for basic and clinical training
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
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
