"Historia magistra vitae": How is the psychiatric rehabilitation technician trained in psychiatry's history?
No full text... And is there no new thing under the sun? Retrospective study on the presence of stigmatizing articles in two Italian newspapers during the period 2006–2021
Full text linkThis study explores the representation of mental health in two prominent Italian newspapers, Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica, spanning from 2006 to 2021. The aim was to quantify articles containing mental health-related terms, assess their focus on mental health issues, detect stigmatizing content, analyze temporal trends, and find possible predictors of stigmatizing articles. The search utilized electronic archives, with evaluators categorizing articles as mental health-related (rMH) or not (nrMH), further classifying rMH as stigmatizing, nonstigmatizing, neutral, or mixed. Out of the 1,988 articles meeting the inclusion criteria (nrMH: 1,511; rMH: 451), the percentage of rMH articles varies from 17.79% in 2006 to 27.16% in 2021, and there is a statistically significant difference in the distribution of articles (rMH/nrMH) over the 6 years considered (chi(2) = 16.52; df = 5; p = .005). The study highlights variations in stigmatization across the years. In 2009, stigmatizing articles peaked at 19.78%, while none were identified in 2018. Statistical analysis indicates a significant shift in the characterization of rMH articles (stigmatizing/nonstigmatizing/neutral/mixed) over time (chi(2) = 65.50; df = 15; p < .001), revealing an increasing trend in nonstigmatizing articles. Additionally, logistic regression identifies two potential predictors of stigmatizing articles: the number of words in the title and the type of addressed mental health disorder. Although our study demonstrates an optimistic, but far from consistent, trend in the number of stigmatizing articles over time, it is necessary to continue promoting the correct use of the press in addressing issues related to mental health
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
