Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Moscone, Chris: Moscone connections
No full textChris Moscone: My dad (George Moscone) opened up when he was with people. He loved to talk to like a cable car operator or a janitor. I mean he really would. He wasn’t goin’ out with them later on for drinks that night, but he would really want to talk to ‘em. I remember these things now. They come back when you start thinking about those times. It was a long time ago and so I have to focus on it. But now I’m remembering that people would recognize him or stop him on the street, and he would talk to ‘em. “What do you do? How’s it goin’? What’s goin’ on with that? Oh, I know that guy, you know Jimmy? That’s my buddy. You know Jimmy? Yeah, what an asshole.” Whatever, right? And they would talk because he would find something to connect, and it wasn’t a BS thing. It was just pleasure. He enjoyed it. I dunno why he enjoyed it so much. It was good though because politics is people, and he loved people, especially San Francisco. Jon Rubin: He also had [ ] memory. I don’t know if any of you guys do. Chris Moscone: I didn’t know that. You mean he knew peoples’ names? Jon Rubin: He knew everybody’s name. If you got him to focus, to look somebody in the eye for like five seconds, and said this guy’s name is Chris Moscone and he’s whatever you know. And you just get him to focus for five seconds, the next million times he saw you, he’d remember. I saw he’d remember peoples’ names that I knew when I couldn’t remember their names he would remember every name. Had you not heard that before? Chris Moscone: Well I heard he was pretty good at it. I didn’t know really... Jon Rubin: I introduced him because I was doing field operations. Lots of people whose name I couldn’t even remember, and he’d remember every single one of them. It was remarkable. Chris Moscone: That is remarkable. He had that smile. He was into it. He enjoyed it. It was his passion; that was his job. But I think when he wanted to come back to San Francisco and when he came back, that was really where he was having some fun. You get to a certain age, you put a lot of time in and you get to be pretty good at it I think, and he was right there
The nursing contribution to qualitative research in palliative care 1990-1999: a critical evaluation
No full textBackground. Qualitative research plays an important part in providing evidence for practice in nursing, and is gaining greater acceptance within medicine. However, questions remain about what criteria are most appropriate for evaluating qualitative research. To date, little systematic evaluation of qualitative research in palliative care has been conducted.Aims. This paper is based on a larger study in which we conducted a critical review of qualitative research in palliative care from nursing, medicine, specialist palliative care, sociology, death studies, medical anthropology, and gerontology journals published between 1990 and 1999. The aim of this paper is to present an account of the strengths and weaknesses of qualitative palliative care research in nursing, using data from this review.Methods. In the larger study, 138 papers from 50 journals were reviewed critically using a tool developed to assess both content and quality; in one part of this tool reviewers recorded open-ended comments on the strengths and weaknesses of each paper. In this paper, we present a thematic analysis of reviewers' comments on a subgroup of 67 nursing papers from the main review, together with an analysis of comments on 29 papers from a comparison group of death studies, medical anthropology, and sociology journals. Patterns of positive and negative evaluation are identified and used to generate an account of strengths and weaknesses in qualitative palliative care research in nursing.Findings. Over 40% of the subgroup of papers from nursing journals received positive comments on topic and quality of writing; around 30% received positive comments on contribution to understanding, practical value, and conceptual or theoretical issues. Less than 20% received positive comments on other critical dimensions. Over 40% of nursing papers received negative comments on the link between data, analysis, and findings, other aspects of method and theoretical and conceptual issues. A higher proportion of papers in the comparison group received positive comments on conceptual and theoretical issues and contribution to understanding.Conclusions. Nearly half the nursing papers reviewed were judged to be well written or to have a well-chosen topic. However, more than 40% of papers drew negative comments about key methods-related issues. Arguably therefore efforts to improve the quality of research evidence should focus on this area
