Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Advancing the concept of rehabilitation towards cultural sensitivity: a concept analysis
Full text linkBackground
This study was instigated in response to the researcher’s own realisation, as a rehabilitation practitioner and educator, that the concept of rehabilitation as identified in the literature may not be culturally sensitive. This view was prompted by the researcher’s interactions with international students undertaking an MSc in Rehabilitation at Oxford Brookes University in the UK. The literature defining and describing rehabilitation generally appears to be from Europe (including the UK), Australia and the USA with an emphasis on concepts and values such as independence, autonomy and individualism, which appears to represent the values the of the Western countries from which the literature originates. This view is supported by Saadah (2002) who identifies autonomy as such a concept, which is identified as the aim of rehabilitation in the literature (Cardol 2002a) and calls for a structural framework for rehabilitation based on understanding of different cultures and culturally sensitive care.
Aim and Objectives
The main aim of this study was to examine the concept of rehabilitation in the literature in relation to cultural sensitivity in order to gain new interpretations and understandings for rehabilitation practice and education. The objectives being to discover if there is an essence or core of rehabilitation that transcends culture; whether the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) (WHO 2001) is suitable for use as a cultural framework and to identify implications for practice and education.
Methodology and Methods
Concept analysis (Morse 1995) was the research approach used as it fits in with the conceptual assumptions of the study and enabled the researcher to analyse the literature in depth in order to explore the concept of rehabilitation in relation to cultural sensitivity. Morse’s approach was followed with the fundamental difference being the addition of qualitative data which were analysed along with the literature. The data were collected from a university and hospital in Manipal, South West India. A literature review was conducted accessing PubMed, CINHAL, AMED, PsycINFO, NARIC and IndMED data bases using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following management of the literature using the ICF (WHO 2001) categories and critical appraisal a sample of 120 articles was identified. Thirteen patients with neurological or orthopaedic conditions undergoing rehabilitation were interviewed using qualitative interviews, seven focus groups were conducted involving physiotherapy, occupational therapy and nursing students, health care professionals and lecturers and participant observation was conducted.
Main Findings
The literature and qualitative data were analysed following Morse’s concept analysis approach to establish the level of maturity. This enabled the concept of rehabilitation to be deconstructed in terms of its components (attributes, definitions, attributes, pre-conditions, outcomes and boundaries). As a result the concept of rehabilitation in relation to cultural sensitivity was identified as being mature in relation to pre-requisites, boundaries and outcomes but only partially mature in respect of definitions and attributes. A key finding of this stage is that rehabilitation needs to be meaningful to the person and their family. This then led to the next step of concept analysis: concept clarification, where critical questions were asked of the data in order to advance the concept in relation to cultural sensitivity. As a result, culturally safe rehabilitation, external factors, family centred decision-making and meaningful rehabilitation were all identified as being integral to the concept of rehabilitation being meaningful to the person and their family.
Conclusion
A key contribution of this study to the body of knowledge on rehabilitation is that, in order for rehabilitation to be culturally sensitive, it needs to be meaningful to the person-in-their-family-in-their-cultural context. This can be seen as the essence of rehabilitation that transcends culture. In order for this to happen, rehabilitation needs to be emergent: responding to the needs of the person in their cultural context with professionals allowing for variation in individual experiences and perspectives. These elements have been combined into a framework with the person-in-their-family-in-their cultural context at the centre. However, the findings and recommendations need to be treated with caution as they are based on a small sample of data representing one area of India with a limited number of participants and literature that is only representative of the country and discipline in which it is written. There are also other limitations in terms of data collection, data analysis and interpretation of results. Future research is required to explore the idea of ‘meaningful rehabilitation’ for patients and their families and to evaluate the framework in practice and in education
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
