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
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
Repérage de la fragilité sociale aux urgences du CHU de Saint Denis La Réunion et lien avec le service de Permanence d’Accès aux Soins de Santé
No full textBackground: In Reunion, 39% of the population lives below the poverty line. Emergency departments are the first port of call for these vulnerable people. At the Félix-Guyon University Hospital, there is a tool : “the PASS alert”, which informs the PASS service that a situation requires their expertise. It is rarely used.Method: This is a quasi-experimental before-and-after study conducted in the emergency department of the CHU Félix-Guyon from 1 February to 30 June 2021. The PASCAL score was set up at the entrance of the emergency room. We studied the number of PASS alerts performed before and after the intervention. A descriptive analysis was carried out on 400 patient files with a positive PASCAL score.Results: 1720 patients were included, the number of PASS alerts remained stable over the two periods (30 and 28). 97% of the patients were considered as precarious after screening. Our study revealed a young population (46.4 years) with few comorbidities. The emergency room was the first port of call for 74.2% of them. Conclusion: Screening for precariousness in the emergency room of the Félix-Guyon University Hospital did not improve the rate of use of the PASS services. This study is a preliminary work to achieve a better medical and social care in the emergency room of the CHU Félix Guyon.Introduction : À la Réunion 39% de la population vit sous le seuil de pauvreté. Les urgences sont un lieu de premier recours pour ces personnes vulnérables. Au CHU Félix-Guyon il existe un outil : « l’alerte PASS » qui permet d’informer le service de la PASS qu’une situation nécessiterait leur expertise. Il est peu utilisé. Objectif : Le but de l’étude est de dépister la précarité à l’aide du score de PASCAL aux urgences du CHU Félix-Guyon afin d’améliorer le taux de recours aux consultations et ordonnances de la PASS.Méthode : Il s’agit d’une étude quasi expérimentale de type « avant-après » menée aux urgences du CHU Félix-Guyon du 1er février au 30 juin 2021. Le score de PASCAL a été mise en place à l’entrée des urgences. Nous avons étudié le nombre d’alertes PASS réalisées avant et après intervention. Une analyse descriptive a été réalisé à partir de 400 dossiers patients ayant un score de PASCAL positif.Résultats : 1720 patients ont été inclus, le nombre d’alertes PASS est resté stable sur les 2 périodes (30 et 28). 97% des patients étaient considérées comme précaires après dépistage. Notre étude a mis en évidence une population jeune (46,4 ans) avec peu de comorbidités. Les urgences étaient un lieu de premier recours pour 74,2% d’entre eux.Conclusion : Le dépistage de la précarité aux urgences du CHU Félix-Guyon n’a pas permis d’améliorer le taux de recours aux dispositifs de la PASS. Cette étude est un travail préalable pour aboutir à une meilleure prise en charge médico-sociale aux urgences du CHU Félix Guyon

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
