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
Māori Patient Experiences of Hand Therapy in Tāmaki Makaurau
No full textIn Aotearoa, Māori are more likely to sustain a life changing injury and are less likely than non-Māori to access physical rehabilitation. Hand therapy, a subdiscipline of physical rehabilitation, offers advice and treatment for conditions affecting the upper limb. Little is known about Māori service user experiences of physical rehabilitation, including hand therapy. This research aimed to investigate Māori patient experiences of hand therapy and to explore solutions proposed by Māori to enhance culturally safe delivery of hand therapy services. The research was underpinned by a Tiriti o Waitangi informed approach and was completed in two phases.
Phase one was a scoping review of the literature that aimed to synthesise what is currently known about Māori experiences of physical rehabilitation in Aotearoa. Four themes were created from data found in published and grey literature. The themes provide a narrative that describes Māori expectations for negative health encounters. Negative experiences during rehabilitation can be mitigated by including whānau, recognising Te Ao Māori, and providing mana-enhancing care. The findings from the scoping review informed the interview guide for phase two of the research.
Phase two was a qualitative study that aimed to explore Māori experiences of hand therapy in Tāmaki Makaurau and solutions for enhancing hand therapy services for Māori. Semi-structured, exploratory interviews were carried out with 15 Māori hand therapy patients. Five themes were generated using reflexive thematic analysis. The qualitative study findings demonstrated that the initial connection with a therapist and first impressions of a clinic impacted on the hand therapy rehabilitation journey. Hand therapy was described as a different type of health service that was easier and more enjoyable to engage with compared to acute and primary care services. The key feature that stood out for participants was the taonga of the relationship formed with their hand therapist. Solutions for improving the cultural safety of hand therapy services included genuine incorporation of Te Ao Māori to facilitate cultural connections and expanding services for the provision of holistic and wraparound care for Māori patients, whānau, and communities.
This research found that there are pockets of individual clinicians demonstrating culturally safe practice. Hand therapists, and other rehabilitation professionals, hold a privileged position with Māori when a meaningful connection is formed leading to a therapeutic relationship that is held as a taonga. This treasured relationship opens opportunities for hand therapists to normalise positive health experiences for Māori, offer options to engage with Te Ao Māori during appointments, and provide care that shelters hauora Māori
