    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    Síndrome de Burnout e Covid-19: Revisão Integrativa sobre Profissionais de Saúde

    No full text
    The Burnout Syndrome has remarkable relevance within the healthcare professionals’ context, introducing a negative impact on both workers and patients. The present study has as an objective to investigate the impacts of the pandemic regarding the Sars-Cov-2 virus on the mental health of healthcare professionals that continued working during this period, more specifically verifying the incidence of Burnout Syndrome within this group. An integrative review of national and international literature was carried out using descriptors related to the topic. The bibliographic survey was accomplished through Periódicos Capes, PsycArticles, PubMed, Web of Science and Scielo databases. The results included 37 studies that fully matched the criteria. The findings of this review evidenced studies that confirmed the presence of Burnout Syndrome in this context and also pointed out that everyday aspects of these subjects worklife, such as inappropriate PPE or the lack of this equipment and the complexity and inconsistency of protocols, are the main factors for its development. In addition to these results, it was possible to recognize the enhancement of symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, various disorders and the necessity of implementing interventions that provide better mental health to this population. This research contains collaborations about the mental health of healthcare professionals in the pandemic context and coping strategies at the individual and organizational level.A Síndrome de Burnout possui relevância no contexto dos profissionais da saúde repercutindo negativamente para o trabalhador e o paciente. O presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar os impactos da pandemia referente ao vírus Sars-Cov-2 na saúde mental de profissionais de saúde que continuaram trabalhando durante esse período, verificando especificamente a incidência da Síndrome de Burnout nesta amostra. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura nacional e internacional, utilizando descritores relacionados ao tema. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados Periódicos Capes, PsycArticles, PubMed, Web of Science e Scielo. Os resultados levantaram 37 pesquisas dentro dos critérios estabelecidos. Foram evidenciados estudos que confirmam a presença da Síndrome de Burnout neste contexto, sendo os elementos cotidianos próprios da prática desses trabalhadores os principais fatores para seu desenvolvimento, como a falta ou inadequação de EPIs e incoerência e complexidade de protocolos. Destaca-se também o aumento dos sintomas de ansiedade, depressão, estresse, transtornos diversos e a necessidade de implementar intervenções que proporcionem saúde mental à respectiva população. Esta pesquisa traz colaborações sobre saúde mental de profissionais de saúde no contexto pandêmico e estratégias de enfrentamento a nível individual e organizacional.El Síndrome de Burnout tiene relevancia en el contexto de los profesionales de la salud, presentando un impacto negativo en el trabajador y el paciente.

    We 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
