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
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
Nivell de coneixements dels docents d’educació secundària obligatòria sobre els factors de risc més prevalents en la taxa de suïcidi en els adolescents de 15 a 19 anys a Catalunya.
No full textRESUM:
Actualment, l'augment dels casos de suïcidi, especialment en els adolescents,
ha fet sonar les alarmes en àmbit mundial i sobretot a la salut pública des del
2020 amb l'aparició de la Covid-19. Per tant, el nostre treball se centra a analitzar el nivell de coneixements que presenten els docents de secundària, en concret dels 15 als 19 anys, a Catalunya respecte als factors de risc més comuns associats a la tassa de suïcidis en aquesta franja d'edat. En l'actualitat, el suïcidi presenta una gran preocupació a la nostra societat, i els docents presenten un paper crucial a una correcta i preventiva detecció d'aquest problema. S'ha portat a terme una revisió exhaustiva de la literatura científica sobre els factors de risc més prevalents en aquest grup poblacional, així com la formació dels docents sobre aquesta. Es va dur a terme una prova pilot realitzada a través d'un qüestionari a 30 docents de l'escola Àgora de sant Cugat per avaluar el seu nivell de coneixements sobre aquests factors de risc. Els resultats van ser alarmants, ja que van revelar gran debilitat a la formació dels docents i la necessitat d'implementar programes per capacitar-los.
INTRODUCCIÓ:
El suïcidi es l’acte de posar fi a la vida de una mateixa persona. Actualment el suïcidi es una qüestió preocupant degut a l’augment dels casos en els
adolescents a nivell mundial.
S’afirma que el suïcidi es un acte multifactorial, per això és imprescindible realitzar una abordatge integral, fent enfasis en la detecció precoç dels senyals d'alerta per aconseguir realitzar una adequada prevenció, diagnòstic i tractament d’aquest.
OBJECTIU:
Realitzar una valoració i identificació dels diversos factors de risc relacionats
amb el risc suïcida en els adolescents residents a Catalunya en edats compreses entre els 15 i els 19 anys, per aconseguir realitzar una detecció precoç de la conducte suïcida i prevenir-la; a mes detectar els nivells de coneixements dels docents d'Educació Secundària Obligatòria i Batxillerat per poder realitzar una detecció dels diversos factors de risc i protectors del risc o conducte suïcida i portar a terme un adequat abordatge de la situació.
METODOLOGIA:
Estudi quantitatiu descriptiu no experimental, amb la finalitat d'obtenció de dades, descrivint de manera detallada els comportament relacionats amb ell risc suïcida
, els factors de risc, fent enfasis en les diferencies de gènere, sense la intervenció ni manipulació de les dades i de les diverses variables obtingudes durant el procés.
RESULTATS:
Es realitza una prova pilot amb una mostra de 30 participants, per determinar el nivell de coneixement que tenen els docents de Educació Secundaria Obligatòria i Batxillerat de l'Escola Àgora de Sant Cugat del Vallès, en relació als protocols, els factors de risc i protectors, a mes de les diferencies de gènere sobre el risc suïcida.ABSTRACT:
Currently, the increase in cases of suicide, especially in adolescents, has raised
alarm worldwide and especially in public health since 2020 with the appearance
of Covid-19. Therefore, our work is focused on analyzing the level of knowledge
presented by secondary school teachers, specifically from 15 to 19 years old, in Catalonia regarding the most common risk factors associated with the rate of
suicides in this age group. Currently, suicide is a great concern in our society,
and teachers play a crucial role in the correct and preventive detection of this problem. An exhaustive review of the scientific literature on the most prevalent
risk factors in this population group has been carried out, as well as the training
of teachers on this issue. A pilot test was carried out by means of a questionnaire to 30 teachers of the Àgora school in Sant Cugat to evaluate their level of knowledge about these risk factors. The results were alarming, as they revealed 6
great weaknesses in teacher training and the need to implement programs to train them.Grau en Infermeri

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.
