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
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
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
The effects of animal assisted interventions for adultindividuals with the neuropsychiatric diagnosis of Autism : A litterature review
No full textBakgrund Djurunderstödda interventioner är ett paraplybegrepp där bland annat djurunderstödda aktiviteter och djurunderstödd terapi ingår med syftet att på ett eller annat sätt förbättra en människas hälsa. Individer med diagnosen autism kan ha svårt att exempelvis socialt interagera med andra människor. Dessa svårigheter ger ofta sekundära hälsoproblem som exempelvis depression. Den aktuella behandlingen för diagnosen autism är symtomatisk, då det inte finns någon farmakologisk behandling mot diagnosen. Sjuksköterskan kan vara drivande i de insatser som kan främja en patients hälsa, därför behöver sjuksköterskan veta vilka insatser som är betydelsefulla för just denne individs situation. Syfte Syftet var att beskriva effekter av djurunderstödda interventioner för vuxna individer med den neuropsykiatriska diagnosen autism. Metod En litteraturöversikt med tio vetenskapliga artiklar hämtades från databaserna PubMed, CINAHL Complete och PsycINFO. Artiklarna analyserades enligt Fribergs analysmodell. Resultat Analysen av resultatet ledde till tre huvudteman med åtta tillhörande underteman: 1) Sociala effekter: Mindre ensamhet- en social kontakt utan mänsklig närvaro Kommunikationsförmåga- med andra individer Djuret som samtalsämne- ett socialt smörjmedel Sociala aktiviteter - en bro till samhället 2) Psykologiska effekter: Meningsskapande och ökat välbefinnande Ansvar och en känsla av självständighet 3) Fysiska effekter: Motion Taktil stimulans Slutsats Litteraturöversiktens slutsats är att individer med en autismdiagnos kan få positiva psykologiska-, fysiska- och sociala hälsoeffekter av djurunderstödda interventioner. Detta forskningsområde är relativt nytt och vår förhoppning är att litteraturöversiktens resultat ska kunna öka allmänsjuksköterskans kunskap. En hög kunskapskompetens kan bidra till en bättre vård med fler icke-farmakologiska behandlingsmöjligheter för individer med en autismdiagnos. Nyckelord Djurunderstödda interventioner, autism, effekter, vuxnaBackground Animal assisted intervention is an umbrella-term that includes both animal assisted activities and animal assisted therapy with the aim of improving a person's health in one way or another. Individuals diagnosed with autism may have difficulty socializing with other people. These difficulties often give secondary health problems such as depression. The current treatment for the diagnosis of autism becomes symptomatic, since there is no pharmacological treatment against the diagnosis. The nurse can be a driving force in the efforts that can promote a patient's health, therefore, the nurse needs to know which interventions are important for this particular individual's situation. Aim The aim was to describe the effects of animal assisted interventions for adult individuals with the neuropsychiatric diagnosis of Autism. Method A literature review with ten articles was retrieved from the databases PubMed, CINAHL Complete and PsycINFO. The articles were analyzed according to Friberg's analysis model. Results The analysis of the results led to three main themes with eight associated subthemes: 1) Social effects: Less loneliness- a social contact without human presence Communication skills- with other individuals The animal as a conversation topic- a social lubricant Social activities - a bridge to the society 2) Psychological effects: Meaning of fulfillment and increased well-being Responsibility and a sense of independence 3) Physical effects: Exercise Tactile stimulation Conclusions The conclusion of the literature review is that individuals with an autism diagnosis can get positive psychological, physical and social health effects from animal-assisted interventions. This research area is relatively new and our hope is that the results of the literature review will be able to increase the general nurse's knowledge. A high level of competence can contribute to better care with more non-pharmacological treatment options for the individual with an autism diagnosis.

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
