    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Chronic pain in children and adolescents is a problem that can affect every aspect of individual functions. The big change in the quality of life of a child dealing with chronic pain. Impaired function generally occurs ie sleeping, employment, social functioning and daily activities. Monitoring of chronic pain should be a concern to the clinician in monitoring the way the pain so as to provide effective care and treatment. Pain is a subjective thing and needs expressed by individuals who experience such pain. One method of assessment of chronic pain in children and adolescents that can be applied in clinical practice is the use of electronic pain diary that combines handheld hardware technology advances such as smart phones and PDAs with pain assessment software program innovations that have proven their quality index. In order to use this application to apply the necessary attention to the ethical aspects, financial aspects of the tools and training, aspects of change in perspective on the importance of understanding the chronic pain patient in order to change behavior.

    “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

    We 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

    Hospitalisasi seringkali menimbulkan stres bagi anak dan kadangkala tidak mampu diungkapkan secara verbal. Menggambar merupakan teknik komunikasi non verbal yang dapat digunakan untuk mengeskplorasi pengalaman emosional anak yang dihospitalisasi dengan cara yang tidak mengancam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengalaman emosional anak usia sekolah melalui menggambar di bangsal anak RS Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Hasil penelitian didapatkan tiga tema utama yaitu (1) berbagai alasan partisipan mengenai gambar yang dibuat, (2) respon partisipan terhadap pengalaman yang menyenangkan, dan (3) respon partisipan terhadap pengalaman yang menyedihkan dan menyakitkan. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa ungkapan pengalaman emosional anak usia sekolah yang dihospitalisasi melalui menggambar dapat menyalurkan pikiran dan perasaan mereka dan respon anak terhadap pengalaman emosinal di rumah sakit adalah sesuatu yang tidak menyenangkan

    This study was aimed to determine factors that associated with quality of life of acute lymphoblastic leukemia’s children who undergoing chemotherapy in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. The quantitative study with cross sectional approach has been done to 25 children by consecutive sampling. Data collection was using PedsQLTM (Pediatrics Quality of Life) 4.0 Generic Core Scale and nurse’s role (Cronbach α = 0,90). The results revealed that there was a relationship between chemotherapy phase and nurse’s role with generic quality of life (p<0,05). Nurse’s role was a predominant factor of generic quality of life. Thus, it is necessary to increase role of nurse by giving education about treatment and management of chemotherapy side effects. Key words: chemotherapy phase, nurse’s role, generic quality of lif

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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
