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
Classificação semiautomática de prioridade no atendimento a emergências médicas
Get PDFEmergency Medical Services, also known as Ambulance Services or Paramedical Services (i.e., abbreviated in some countries as EMS, EMAS, EMARS or SAMU) are emergency services dedicated to medical care outside the hospital context, where time and space limitations in the patient care may lead, in the worst cases, to severe worsening of their health condition or death. The main Medical Emergency Service in Brazil is the SAMU, maintained with public resources of federal, state and municipal management. Medical care through SAMU is an inter-organizational process that articulates a patient population, a network of public and private hospitals, and a telephone service regulation service through which the anamnesis is performed. Considering the shortage of vehicles in SAMU, human resources and adequate medical equipment, the regulation process becomes not only a medical screening, but also a mechanism of prioritization of life. In addition, the risk of fraudulent or opportunistic calls to service, e.g. cases of hypochondria or trotting, associated to the loss of time commonly perceived in access to the service via telephone connection only, makes the regulation of SAMU a process that can be constantly optimized. Thus, the central research question in this work is how the SAMU medical emergency prioritization process could be optimized with the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies for semiautomatic classification of information. Therefore, the overall objective of this work is to build a Decision Support System designed to reduce overall patient care time by SAMU. The specific objectives of this research include: (1) to describe the state of the art in Decision Support Systems for Medical Emergencies in Multiple Victim Incidents; (2) modeling an ontology for prioritizing medical emergency cases served by SAMU; (3) to evaluate the usability, acceptance and usefulness of the classification produced by the ontology with the support of the Municipal Health Department of the city of Mossoró. The paradigm of scientific research adopted in this work is Design Science, which consists in the organization of scientific thinking by solving socially relevant problemsServiços de Emergências Médicas, também conhecidos como Serviços de Ambulância ou Serviços Paramédicos (i.e., abreviados em alguns países como EMS, EMAS, EMARS ou SAMU) são serviços de emergência dedicados ao atendimento médico fora do contexto hospitalar, onde limitações de tempo e espaço no atendimento ao paciente podem implicar, nos piores casos, em agravamento severo de sua condição de saúde ou óbito. O principal Serviço de Emergência Médica no Brasil é o SAMU, mantido com recursos públicos de gestão federal, estadual e municipal. O atendimento médico via SAMU é um processo inter-organizacional que articula uma população de pacientes, uma rede de hospitais públicos e privados, e um serviço de regulação de atendimento telefônico por meio do qual a anamnese é realizada. Considerando a escassez de viaturas no SAMU, recursos humanos e equipamentos médicos adequados, o processo de regulação se torna não apenas uma triagem médica, mas também um mecanismo de priorização da vida. Além disso, o risco de chamadas fraudulentas ou oportunistas ao serviço, p.ex. casos de hipocondria ou trotes, associado à perda de tempo comumente percebida no acesso ao serviço via ligação telefônica somente, torna a regulação do SAMU um processo passível de constante otimização. Sendo assim, a questão central de pesquisa deste trabalho é como o processo de priorização de casos de emergência médica do SAMU poderia ser otimizado com o uso de tecnologias de Inteligência Artificial para classificação semiautomática da informação. Portanto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é construir um Sistema de Apoio à Decisão projetado para reduzir o tempo geral de atendimento ao paciente pelo SAMU. Os objetivos específicos desta pesquisa incluem: (1) descrever o estado da arte em Sistemas de Apoio à Decisão para Emergências Médicas em Incidentes com Múltiplas Vítimas; (2) modelar uma ontologia para priorização de casos de emergência médica atendidos pelo SAMU; (3) avaliar a usabilidade, aceitação e utilidade da classificação produzida pela ontologia com o suporte da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde da cidade de Mossoró.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
