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
Sensibilidade ética da equipe de enfermagem em um hospital rural mexicano
No full textIntroduction: Advances in health and an increasingly demanding healthcare environment are causing various ethical problems. Ethical sensitivity (ES) provides a new perspective for decision-making about care. In rural areas, the health workforce is a factor affecting the community. Objective: To determine the ES level among nursing staff in a rural Mexican hospital. Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 42 nursing professionals selected using stratified random sampling. Staff with any employment contract, age, and sex who agreed to participate in the study were included. Those who did not attend the hospital or did not agree to participate in the study were excluded. A sociodemographic and occupational data questionnaire and the Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire (ESQ) were used. Results: Of nurses, 92.9% reported a higher ES level. The dimension sense of moral burden presented a higher mean score of 18.19 (SD = 4.94), followed by moral strength with a mean score of 15.83 (SD = 3.26), and moral responsibility with a mean score of 9.00 (SD = 2.73). No significant differences were found between ethical sensitivity and sociodemographic and occupational variables, either in the total score or the score by dimensions. Conclusions: Most nurses in a rural Mexican hospital showed a high level of ES; however, by dimensions, perhaps it is necessary to analyze the dimension of moral burden and to promote moral strength and responsibility.Introducción: los avances en salud y un entorno sanitario cada vez más exigente están causando diversos problemas éticos. La sensibilidad ética otorga una nueva perspectiva para la toma de decisiones acerca del cuidado. En área rural, la fuerza laboral de salud es un factor que afecta a la comunidad. Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de SE en personal de enfermería de un hospital rural mexicano. Metodología: estudio descriptivo y transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 42 profesionales en enfermería, seleccionados mediante muestreo probabilístico aleatorio estratificado; se incluyó personal de cualquier tipo de contratación, edad y sexo que aceptaron participar en el estudio; se excluyeron quienes no asistieron al hospital o no aceptaron participar en el estudio. Se utilizó una cédula de datos sociodemográficos y laborales, así como el Cuestionario de sensibilidad ética. Resultados: el 92,9 % del personal de enfermería reportó un nivel mayor de sensibilidad ética. La dimensión Sentido de la carga moral presentó una media más alta de puntaje con 18,19 (DE = 4,94), seguido de Fortaleza moral con una media de 15,83 (DE = 3,26) y de Responsabilidad moral con una media de 9,00 (DE = 2,73). No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre la sensibilidad ética y las variables sociodemográficas y laborales, en el puntaje total ni por dimensiones. Conclusiones: el personal enfermero de un hospital rural mexicano mostró en su mayoría un nivel alto de SE, aunque por dimensiones quizás se requiere analizar la dimensión negativa de carga moral y promover la fortaleza y responsabilidad moral.
Introdução: Os avanços na área da saúde e um ambiente de saúde cada vez mais exigente estão causando uma série de problemas éticos. A sensibilidade ética, confere uma nova perspectiva para a tomada de decisões sobre o cuidado. Nas áreas rurais, a força de trabalho em saúde é um fator que afeta a comunidade. Objetivo: Determinar o nível de SE na equipe de enfermagem de um hospital rural mexicano. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo e transversal. A amostra foi de 42 enfermeiros, selecionados por amostragem probabilística, aleatória estratificada, incluindo profissionais de qualquer tipo de contratação, idade e sexo que aceitaram participar no estudo, foram excluídos aqueles que não compareceram ao hospital ou não concordaram em participar do estudo. Utilizou-se uma identificação de dados sociodemográficos e laborais e o questionário de sensibilidade ética. Resultados: 92,9 % da equipe de enfermagem relatou um nível superior de sensibilidade ética. A dimensão sentido de carga moral apresentou maior pontuação média com 18,19 (DP = 4,94), seguida da força moral com média de 15,83 (DP = 3,26) e por fim responsabilidade moral com média de 9 (DP = 2,73). Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre a sensibilidade ética e variáveis sociodemográficas e trabalhistas, na escore total nem também não por dimensões. Conclusões: a equipe de enfermagem de um hospital rural mexicano, em sua maioria, apresentou um alto nível de SE, embora por dimensões considera-se necessário analisar a dimensão negativa da carga moral e promover a força e responsabilidade moral
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

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
