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
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

Eine randomisierte kontrollierte Studie der kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie für iranische Migranten mit Major Depressive Störung in Österreich
No full textDas Ziel dieser Studie lag in der Ermittlung der Bedeutung der kognitiven Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie unter iranischen Migranten mit der Major Depression Störung in Österreich. Dreiundzwanzig iranische Frauen und Männer, die ein Durchschnittsalter von 40.4 Jahren aufwiesen/besaßen und die den DSM-IV Kriterien der Major Depression entsprachen, wurden durch das Schneeball-Stichprobenverfahren ausgehoben (ermittelt). Neun von ihnen wurden in die kognitive Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie eingeordnet, sechs in die individuelle kognitive Verhaltenstherapie, und acht in Warteliste-Kontrollgruppen. Alle drei Interventionsarten umfassten 17 Sitzungen, die sich jeweils aus 60 Minuten individueller kognitiver Verhaltenstherapie und 120 Minuten kognitiver Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie zusammensetzten.
Depressionssymptome, die Intensität der Depression, sowie die Arten und der Schweregrad der automatischen Gedanken, wurden durch das kurze Symptom Inventar (BSI; Skala 4), das Beck-Depressions-Inventar II (BDI-II) und dem Fragebogen über automatische Gedanken (ATQ) ausgewertet. Es wurde zwischen Suizidgedanken und generalisierter Angststörung unterschieden und mittels der Becks Skala für Suizidgedanken bzw. der Depression-Angst-Stress-Skala ausgewertet. Die qualitativen Daten ergaben sich aus den Zusammenfassungen klinischer Interviews.
Die Ergebnisse zeigten eine signifikante Reduktion der Depressionssymptome bei Teilnehmern der kognitiven Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie, bewertet durch das Beck-Depressionsinventar II (BDI-II), kurze Symptom Inventar (BSI; Skala 4), und Fragebogen automatischer Gedanken (ATQ). Die signifikante Reduktion der Depression wurde auch in der individuellen kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie in Bezug auf BDI-II und ATQ bestätigt. Die individuelle kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie war in dieser Studie allerdings nicht dienlich um die Depressionslaune, bewertet durch das BSI (Skala 4), einer Prä-/Post-Behandlung: zu reduzieren.
Ein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen der kognitiven Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie und der individuellen kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie in BSI (Skala 4) zeigte, dass in dieser Studie die kognitive Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie im Vergleich zur individuellen kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie eine stärkere Auswirkung auf die Depressionslaune hatte. Die Follow-up Messungen zeigten eine beachtliche Verschlechterung, sowohl für die Gruppe die mit der kognitiven Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie behandelt wurde, als auch für jene bei denen die individuelle kognitive Verhaltenstherapie angewendet wurde. Dies könnte in Bezug auf die Zukunft die Beständigkeit der Ergebnisse beider Therapien in dieser Studie in Frage stellen.
Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie deuten darauf hin, dass die Depressionsursachen iranischer Migranten mit ihren selbst gewählten dysfunktionalen Akkulturationsstrategien verbunden sein könnten. Deshalb kann die kognitive Gruppen-Verhaltenstherapie aufgrund ihres ständigen Bezugs zum soziokulturellen iranischen Hintergrund als eine geeignete Behandlung für iranische Migranten mit der Major Depression Störung betrachtet werden. Dies kann iranische Migranten in weiterer Folge dazu anregen, ihre Akkulturationseinstellungen zu modifizieren.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Group Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy among Iranian migrants with Major Depressive Disorder in Austria. Twenty-three Iranian women and men with an average, 40.4 years old that met DSM-IV criteria for MDD were recruited by the snowball sampling. Nine of them were randomized to the GCBT, six to the individual CBT, and eight to the Waiting-List control groups. All three types of interventions comprised 17 sessions lasting 60 minutes for CBT and 120 minutes for GCBT. Depressive symptoms, intensity of depression and the types and severity of Automatic Thoughts were assessed by the Brief Symptoms Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire respectively. Suicidal ideation and Generalized Anxiety Disorder were distinguished and excluded by the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. Qualitative method was based on the summaries of clinical interviews.
The results showed a significant reduction in depression symptoms in GCBT group, evaluated by Beck Depression Inventory version II (BDI-II), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI; scale 4), and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ). The significant decrease in depression was found for individual CBT group with respect to BDI-II and ATQ scores as well. However, individual CBT in this study was not successful to decrease depression mood evaluated by BSI (scale 4) from pre- to post-intervention.
A significant group differences between GCBT and individual CBT in BSI (scale 4) scores at post-intervention may highlight that GCBT in this study showed a stronger effect on depressed mood compared to individual CBT. The follow-up measurements revealed a significant deterioration for both group based and individual CBT groups. This may question the stability of results of both interventions in this study through time.
The findings from this study suggest that the reasons behind the Iranian migrant´s depression may be related to their chosen dysfunctional acculturation strategies. Therefore, GCBT can be considered an appropriate treatment for Iranian migrants with MDD due to its consistent relation with the Iranian socio-cultural background, which can encourage the Iranian migrants to modify their acculturation attitudes.by Atefeh FathiAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersInnsbruck, Univ., Diss., 201
