Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Educando-nos em grupo por ações reflexivas em saude-uma enfase na pratica assistencial do enfermeiro
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciencias da SaudeRelato de uma experiência vivida em pequenos grupos de indivíduos, na função de bancários, desenvolvida dentro de uma proposta de educação em saúde levadas a efeito pelo enfermeiro. Utilizou-se uma abordagem metodológica norteada por um marco conceitual e implementada dentro da abordagem didática pedagógica da problematização de Paulo Freire. A análise de conteúdo das crenças, valores, experiências e ações dos indivíduos, reunidos em grupo, quanto a questão norteadora: por que as pessoas adoecem? foi direcionada para uma construção crítico-reflexiva-dialógica da multicausalidade do adoecer humano
GROUP SELF EDUCATION BY HAELTH REFLETIVE ACTIONS – AN EMPHASIS IN NURSE ASSISTANCE PRACTICE
Get PDFRelato de experiência vivida em pequenos grupos de indivíduos, na função de bancários, em seus próprios locais de trabalho, desenvolvida dentro de uma proposta de prática assistencial de dimensões educativas, levada a efeito pela enfermeira na função social de educadora em saúde. Trata-se de uma abordagem metodológica alternativa, norteada pelo marco conceitual construído a partir de concepções próprias, conceitos da teoria transcultural de Leininger, abordagem didático pedagógica da problematização de Paulo Freire e implementada pelo Método do Arco de Charles Maguerez. Toda a metodologia proposta girou em torno da questão norteadora: “Por que as pessoas adoecem?”. Nela procurou-se resgatar crenças, valores, experiências e ações próprias dos indivíduos, como essência do trabalho educativo a estes grupos. As expressões dos indivíduos, subdivididas em Culturanálise, fazem parte de uma síntese provisória que foi submetida a uma Análise de Conteúdo. As (in) conclusões destas reflexões/ações/reflexões direcionam para a multicausalidade do adoecer, que acomete o ser humano em sua totalidade e unicidade, com significações próprias para quem o vive. Os grupos foram então conduzidos, para a construção de uma consciência crítico-reflexivo-dialógica sobre esta multicausalidade e ações facilitadoras de inter-apoio, coerentes com o contexto sócio-político-econômico e cultural dos indivíduos.This work presents an account of an experience carried out with small groups of individuals, working as bank employees, in their own place of work, developed under a proposal of assistance practice of educational dimensions, brought into effect by the nurse in the social function of health educator. It is an alternative methodological approach, guided by a conceptual framework built upon my own conceptions, concepts from Leininger’s transcultural theory and a didactic and pedagogic approach based on Paulo Freire’s problematization theory, and implemented through Charles Maguerez’s Arch Method. The whole methodology proposed here worked around the leading question, “Why do people fall ill?”. In this methodology it was attempted to recover beliefs, values, experiences and actions which were characteristic of the individuals, as the essence of the educational work directed to these groups. The individuals’ expressions, subdivided into culture-analysis, are part of a provisional synthesis upon which a content analysis was carried out. The (non-) conclusions of these reflections/actions/reflections point at a multicausality of the process of becoming ill, which affects the human being in their totality and uniqueness, with particular significance for those who undergo this process. The groups were then led to a construction of dialogical, reflexive, critical conscience about this multicausality and the facilitating action of inter-support, coherent with the individuals’ socio-political, economic and cultural context
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Methodology for nurses: educatinal practices in a university hospital
No full textOs objetivos deste estudo foram fomentar e estimular a participacao de enfermeiras assistenciais, de um hospital universitario, em praticas educativas em Metodologia da Pesquisa, por meio de atividades individuais e, em grupo, para o desenvolvimento de competencias em investigacao cientifica. No referencial teorico-metodologico, descritivo e analitico, aparecem detalhadas a aprendizagem de principios por descoberta, descoberta orientada e tutoramento, segundo Gagne, Bruner, Ausubel e Suchman, incluindo estrategias do ensino humanista, segundo Rogers. Os resultados do processo de ensino e aprendizagem em Metodologia da Pesquisa totalizaram 28 producoes cientificas, concluidas e divulgadas pelas enfermeiras que participaram de cursos e orientacoes individuais. As producoes foram, em sua maioria, relatos de experiencia, pesquisas descritivas e exploratorias, nas linhas de pesquisa Processo de cuidar em Saúde e Enfermagem; Politicas e praticas de educacao e Enfermagem, Gerenciamento dos servicos de Saúde e de Enfermagem e Informacao/Comunicacao em Saúde e Enfermagem. As avaliacoes realizadas com as enfermeiras, ao longo das praticas e ao foral do processo, revelaram que houve aquisicao e aplicacao de conhecimentos de Metodologia da Pesquisa, entretanto foram sujeitas a fatores internos e externos, facilitando e dificultando o processo de ensino e aprendizagem em investigacao cientifica na instituicao. Para as analises, dessas avaliacoes, foram utilizados autores que subsidiaram todo o processo, outros da area de Enfermagem e alguns principios da Teoria da Complexidade de Morin. Dentre as principais dificuldades apontadas pelas enfermeiras estao aquelas relacionadas a falta de conhecimento do principio cientifico da pesquisa; as limitacoes nas condicoes administrativas e de trabalho em Enfermagem na instituicao,...(au)The aim of this study was to stimulate participation of professional nurses from a university hospital environment in the educational practices of Research Methodology, focusing individual and group activities in order to develop capabilities for scientific investigation. In terms of methodological-theorist descriptive and analytical referentials, the apprenticeship of principles through findings, tutorage and oriented findings were detailed according to Gagné, Bruner, Ausubel and Suchman, including strategies of humanism learning according to Rogers. Results of learning and teaching process from the research methodology includes 28 scientific productions concluded and published by the nurses who participated in courses and individual orientation. The vast majority of the papers were experience report, descriptive and exploratory researches on take-care procedures in Health and Nursing ; politics and practices of Education and Nursing; managing health, nursing and information/communication services in Health and Nursing. The nurses, evaluated during practices till the end of the process, revealed that the main principles and knowledge of Research Methodology were acquired and applied. However, they were subjected to internal and external factors which facilitate and also raise difficulties to scientific investigation for the teaching and learning process. Analysis of the evaluations required the help of authors assisting all steps of the process, some of them from the nursing area and also principles from the Morin Complexity Theory. The main difficulties reported by nurses were referred to lack of knowledge of scientific principle of the research; poor administrative and work conditions limitating structuring, development and publishing steps of the results. Among the facilitators, some distinctions: the nurses' pledge to face environmental adversities; level of importance given to the project in order to modify practice; the value of organizing and divulging practice's results obtaining professional recognition; the collaboration and aid of other nurses from the administrative department. This work showed the need of a flexible planning on educational activities through an administrative systemic point of view, recognizing and facing the existing limits. The research objects of the practical field were important for continuous follow up in terms of a significant apprenticeship, bringing near daily situations, developing educational practices according to reality and according to each individual nurse and the cognitive condition related to Research Methodology.BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertaçõe
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
