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
Comparative Characteristics of Metabolic Markers in The Assessment of Bone Health in Postmenopausal Age // Сравнителна характеристика на метаболитни маркери при оценка на костното здраве в постменопаузална възраст
No full textМетаболитният синдром и остеопорозата са два социално-значими здравни проблема, чието разпространение в световен мащаб непрекъснато нараства. За потенциалните връзките между тях отдавна се говори, но резултатите в литературата от клиничните проучвания остават противоречиви.
Оценените в дисертационния труд взаимовръзки на някои кардио-метаболитни и инфламаторни маркери с костния интегритет в постменопаузална възраст разкриват определени зависимости, които могат да бъдат от полза за по-комплексна превенция, профилактика и лечение на остеопорозата. Проведените комплексни анализи предполагат, че сумарната връзка на метаболитния синдром с костното здраве все пак зависи от броя, комбинацията, степента на изява на компонентите на синдрома, както и от съпътстващите го антропометрични и метаболитни промени. От друга се поставя акцент върху необходимостта от своевременното идентифициране и коригиране на негативно свързаните с костния интегритет параметри чрез подходящ хигиенно-диетичен режим и добавяне на медикаменти, които освен кардио-метаболитни ползи притежават и предполагаеми плеотропни скелетни ефекти.Metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis are two socially important health problems. Their worldwide distribution is constantly growing. The potential association between metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis has long been discussed, but the results of the clinical trials remain controversial.
This thesis analyzes the relationships of some cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers with bone integrity in postmenopausal age. The obtained results reveal specific correlations that may be useful for more complex prevention, prophylaxis and treatment of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the conducted analyses suggest that the complex association of the metabolic syndrome with bone health depends on the number, combination, degree of manifestation of each component of the syndrome, and the accompanying anthropometric and metabolic changes. On the other hand, emphasis is placed on the need for timely identification and correction of parameters that are negatively related to bone integrity through an appropriate lifestyle change and initiation of appropriate drugs that have presumed pleiotropic skeletal effects in addition to cardiometabolic benefits
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
Muñecos históricos sobre la escena literaria.: Las tempranas creaciones poéticas sobre la “Historia de Li y Yang”
No full textThe article discusses the early poetic creations on the "Story of Li and Yang", the romance between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and his concubine Yang Guifei. It analyzes the different perspectives on this issue in some works of the three great poets of Tang: Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi. The transformations of the "Story…" remind the different facets of the "puppet within the system of culture" as the semiotician Yuri Lotman defines the "cultural object". The puppet serves as a toy, a model and finally as a work of art. Bai Juyi’s creation on the "Story ..." is crucial because he takes it up and engages it in a literary game, in order to save it from oblivion and give it a new life. Through numerous poems, he manages to recreate the romance in a multifaceted way and trace a path to immortality for its two protagonists.El artículo aborda las tempranas creaciones poéticas sobre la “Historia de Li y Yang”, el romance entre el emperador Xuanzong de la dinastía Tang y su concubina Yang Guifei.
