Interview with David B. Post, M.D.
No full textThis interview with Dr. David B. Post (1923-1993) of Albuquerque, New Mexico, surveys his life and medical career. A board certified, Mayo Clinic-trained pediatrician, Dr. Post came to New Mexico in 1952. After a year in Albuquerque at its Lovelace Clinic, Dr. Post spent the period 1953 to 1958 in private practice in Los Alamos. Returning to Albuquerque in 1958, he pursued his private practice continuously until his retirement in 1989. Among the many subjects discussed in this interview are the interviewee's personal and professional backgrounds; the structure, governance, and conditions of work at the Lovelace Clinic of the 1950's; the medical community, facilities, and problems of Los Alamos in the 1950's; the major figures of New Mexico's pediatrics community over the span of his practice; the fundamental changes within the medical profession through the 1970's and 80's, including extensive discussion of the loss of physician independence; the development and importance of the UNM School of Medicine; and many others
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
Interview with Evelyn J. Basile-Gay, M.D.
No full textThis interview with Dr. Evelyn J. Basile (1917-2009), a board certified pediatrician of Las Cruces, New Mexico, discusses her life and career as a New Mexico physician. Attending medical school when women physicians were few, she found her internship and residency experiences altered and accelerated because of World War II. In 1951 she and her surgeon husband, Remo Gay, Sr., M.D. left New York City to relocate in Las Cruces at the urging of Andrew Babey, M.D. After some 25 years of private practice, Dr. Basile worked at New Mexico State University's Student Health Care Center for 12 years, retiring in 1987. Among the subjects discussed in this interview are Dr. Basile's medical education and post-graduate training experiences; the Las Cruces medical community in the early 1950's; Memorial Hospital's general lack of a pediatric unit and her establishment of a nursery for premature infants; osteopathic and ancillary health professionals in Las Cruces; long-distance consultations; public health "well-baby" clinics; sanitation concerns during the polio epidemic in the early 1950's; the first exchange transfusion in Las Cruces; and others
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
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
