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
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
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
Health care and tort reform: an analysis of flaws in the malpractice liability system and reforms to address them

Thank you.When a patient is bringing a lawsuit, he or she is seeking retributive justice for a harm that they believe was done to them at the hands of a negligent physician. The foundation of malpractice litigation from a legal point of view is that the threat of litigation forces physicians to practice safely and more carefully. Meanwhile physicians believe that malpractice litigation is a punitive approach that seeks to isolate individual cases and assign blame and shame, rather than
promote a culture of openness about mistakes and how to avoid them in the future.
While the patient safety system relies on transparency and the availability of case information to accomplish its aims, the liability system, as argued by physicians, suppresses the transparency of this information because physicians fear legal retribution in the face of open disclosure. This compromises the foundational dynamic of the physician-patient relationship, and as a result detracts from the quality of care. Studies have found that in punishing the 3 percent of negligent injuries that actually result in malpractice claims, four innocent doctors are punished for every doctor that is actually at fault. Clearly the medical malpractice system is also struggling to maintain an efficient system of corrective justice. If the medical malpractice system seeks to deter negligence, promote patient safety and improve quality and access to medical services in a
cost effective manner, then the current system seems to be flawed in meeting these aims.
The flaws in this system not only promote a culture of non-disclosure and compromised physician-patient relations but also contribute to a culture of defensive medicine (unnecessary tests) to confirm a diagnosis. With the threat of malpractice litigation ever present, physicians have responded by avoiding high-risk patients and reducing their access to care. Combined, these flaws not only compromise quality and access of care, but also fuel an unjustifiable increase in the costs of care. It is no surprise that studies have found that at least $28 billion is spent each year on an interrelated combination of medical liability litigation and defensive medicine. This statistic, from 2005, compared to total National Health Expenditures from 2005 (1.982 trillion dollars) indicates that this cost was about 1.4% of total National Health Expenditures in 2005. While this may seem like a small percentage of total health care expenditures, at a time when health care
costs and declining access are of major public concern, the costs are indefensible because they are not necessarily improving patient safety or health outcomes. As questions linger about waste and inefficiency limiting access and compromising the quality of healthcare, it is necessary to assess the expansive impact that medical malpractice litigation is having on the field of medicine
