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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Mirror therapy in the management of phantom limb pain: a narrative review
No full textIntroducción. El dolor del miembro fantasma es un problema actual que sufren entre un
50-80% de personas tras una amputación. Se caracteriza por diversas sensaciones que van
desde un simple calor hasta una sensación de ardor punzante. Actualmente existen
terapias para su tratamiento como es el caso de la terapia espejo. Esta terapia consiste en
la aplicación de un espejo para la modulación del dolor a través de restauración de la
corteza sensorial y motora gracias a la acción de neuronas espejo.
Objetivo. El objetivo de la revisión fue explorar la evidencia disponible sobre la efectivad
de la terapia espejo en la modulación del dolor de personas con dolor del miembro
fantasma
Metodología. Se realizó una revisión narrativa en PubMed, CINAHL y Scopus, utilizando
datos publicados desde 2015 hasta 2022.Los criterios de selección de los artículos fueron
todos aquellos que tratan la terapia espejo como tratamiento para el dolor y todos aquellos
artículos cuyos participantes hayan sufrido una amputación y presenten dolor fantasma.
Se excluyeron todos aquellos artículos que no trataran las variables objeto de estudio y
todos aquellos estudios que expusieran la terapia espejo como tratamiento en otras
patologías diferentes al dolor fantasma.
Resultados. Se incluyeron un total de 7 artículos. Se sintetizó la evidencia demostrando
como este tipo de intervención modifica las puntuaciones de dolor de los pacientes
además como mejora su día a día en lo que, a calidad de vida, estado psicológico, el estado
funcional y; la sensación de agencia y propiedad de las personas se refieren.
Conclusiones. La terapia espejo es una técnica que ha demostrado ser útil en el
tratamiento del dolor fantasma, además de ello, ha demostrado beneficios en otros
ámbitos de la vida de los pacientes. Resulta ser una técnica de bajo costo y la cual se
puede llevar a cabo de una forma segura por cualquier persona que decida realizarla.
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Phantom limb pain is a current problem that 50-80% of people suffer from
after amputation. It is characterized by various sensations ranging from simple warmth to
a sharp burning sensation. Currently there are therapies for its treatment, such as mirror
therapy. This therapy consists of the application of a mirror for the modulation of pain
through the restoration of the sensory and motor cortex thanks to the action of mirror
neurons.
Goal. The aim of the review was to explore the available evidence on the effectiveness of
mirror therapy in modulating pain in people with phantom limb pain.
Methodology. A narrative review was carried out in PubMed, CINAHL and Scopus,
using data published from 2015 to 2022. The selection criteria of the articles were all
those that treat mirror therapy as a treatment for pain and all those articles whose
participants had suffered an amputation. and have phantom pain. All those articles that
did not deal with the variables under study and all those studies that exposed mirror
therapy as a treatment in pathologies other than phantom pain were excluded.
Results. A total of 7 articles were included. The evidence was synthesized showing how
this type of intervention modifies the pain scores of the patients, as well as how it
improves their day-to-day life in terms of quality of life, psychological state, functional
state and the sense of agency and ownership of people are concerned.
Conclusions. Mirror therapy is a technique that has proven to be useful in the treatment
of phantom pain. In addition, it has shown benefits in other areas of patients' lives. It turns
out to be a low-cost technique that can be carried out safely by anyone who decides to do
it
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
