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
Modeling the relationship between organizational support, self-efficacy, and clinicians' health communication ability: A case-based approach in Chinese hospitals
No full textAgainst the background of unsatisfactory health communication effects among Chinese clinicians, this study aimed to explore the relationship between organizational support and self-efficacy and clinicians' health communication ability.
This study was divided into two phases. In the first phase, based on Gioia's methodology and the "7W" theory, a clinician health communication ability evaluation scale was developed and validated in 29 hospitals in Guangdong Province. In the second phase, based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory and the Job Demand-Resources model, a hypothetical model was constructed. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on clinicians from 19 tertiary and secondary hospitals in Z City. The relationship between organizational support, self-efficacy, and health communication ability was analyzed using linear regression, a mediating effect model, and a structural equation model.
The research results are as follows: 1) The clinician health communication ability scale developed in this study has good reliability and validity. 2) Organizational support and self-efficacy correlate positively with clinicians' health communication ability, and organizational support positively correlates with self-efficacy. 3) Self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between organizational support and health communication ability.
The contributions of this study are as follows: First, the health communication ability scale for clinicians was developed and validated for the first time in China, providing a reliable measurement tool for research on the health communication ability of Chinese clinicians. Second, it provides empirical evidence from a sample of Chinese clinicians for path studies on the relationship between organizational support, self-efficacy, and health communication ability in the medical industry. It provides specific theoretical and practical guidance for improving clinicians' health communication ability.Considerando os efeitos insatisfatórios da comunicação em saúde por parte dos médicos chineses, este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre o contexto organizacional, a autoeficácia e a capacidade de comunicação, pelos médicos.
Este estudo foi dividido em duas fases. Na primeira fase, com base na metodologia de Gioia e na teoria "7W", foi desenvolvida e validada uma escala de avaliação da capacidade de comunicação clínica em saúde em 29 hospitais da província de Guangdong. Na segunda fase, com base na Teoria Social Cognitiva e no modelo “Job Demand-Resources, foi construído um modelo de hipóteses. Foi realizada uma pesquisa transversal a médicos de 19 hospitais terciários e secundários da cidade de Z. A relação entre o suporte organizacional, a autoeficácia e a capacidade de comunicação em saúde foi analisada através de uma regressão linear, com efeito mediador e do modelo de equações estruturais.
Os resultados da investigação são os seguintes: 1) A escala de competências de comunicação clínica em saúde desenvolvida neste estudo apresenta boa fiabilidade e validade. 2) O apoio organizacional e a autoeficácia correlacionam-se positivamente com a capacidade de comunicação em saúde dos médicos. O apoio organizacional correlaciona-se positivamente com a autoeficácia. 3) A autoeficácia desempenha um papel mediador entre o suporte organizacional e a capacidade de comunicação em saúde.
As contribuições deste estudo são as seguintes: Em primeiro lugar, a escala de competências comunicacionais para médicos foi desenvolvida e validada pela primeira vez na China, fornece uma ferramenta de medição fiável para a investigação sobre a capacidade de comunicação dos médicos chineses. Em segundo lugar, fornece evidências empíricas, para estudos posteriores sobre a relação entre o suporte organizacional, a autoeficácia e a capacidade de comunicação nas instituições de saúde. O presente estudo fornece igualmente, orientação teórica e prática para o desenvolvimento das competências de comunicação dos médicos
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
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
