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

No full textZusammenfassung
Die Zunahme der intensivmedizinischen Behandlungsverfahren ist mit einer Steigerung der Komplexität der Entscheidungen über Auswahl, Anwendung und Dauer der Therapiemaßnahmen verbunden. Ob im individuellen Fall ein Behandlungsziel erstrebenswert und der dafür notwendige Behandlungsweg akzeptabel ist, hängt von den persönlichen Wünschen, Werthaltungen und Lebensentwürfen der Patientinnen und Patienten ab. Häufig bestehen Unsicherheiten darüber, ob ein patientenzentriertes Behandlungsziel erreicht werden kann. Der Einsatz eines zeitlich begrenzten Therapieversuches (TLT) als eine verbindliche Übereinkunft zwischen dem Behandlungsteam und der Patientin/dem Patienten bzw. dem juristischen Stellvertretenden zu einem Behandlungskonzept über einen definierten Zeitraum auf der Intensivstation kann hilfreich sein, um Unsicherheiten zu reduzieren und die Fortführung intensivmedizinischer Maßnahmen im Sinne des/der Patient/in besser einordnen und rechtfertigen zu können.Abstract
The rise in intensive care treatment procedures is accompanied by an increase in the complexity of decisions regarding the selection, administration and duration of treatment measures. Whether a treatment goal is desirable in an individual case and the treatment plan required to achieve it is acceptable for the patient depends on the patient’s preferences, values and life plans. There is often uncertainty as to whether a patient-centered treatment goal can be achieved. The use of a time-limited treatment trial (TLT) as a binding agreement between the intensive care unit (ICU) team and the patient or their legal representative on a treatment concept over a defined period of time in the ICU can be helpful to reduce uncertainties and to ensure the continuation of intensive care measures in the patients’ best interest.Zusammenfassung

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
