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
Social and structural determinants associated with the development of major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression: a scoping review
No full textIntrodução: O transtorno depressivo maior (TDM) e a depressão resistente ao tratamento (DRT) são condições debilitantes associadas à diminuição da qualidade de vida e custos nas perspectivas sociedade e serviços de saúde. Apesar da discussão sobre os potenciais fatores de risco associados ao desenvolvimento desses transtornos, como diminuição nos níveis de neurotransmissores, tabagismo e presença de comorbidades, os aspectos sociais e estruturais são pouco explorados. Objetivos: Identificar e descrever os determinantes estruturais e sociais que estão associados ao desenvolvimento do TDM e da DRT. Metodologia: Foi conduzida uma revisão de escopo nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, PsycINFO e LILACS seguindo a questão norteadora: “Quais são os determinantes sociais e estruturais associados ao desenvolvimento de TDM e DRT?”. Foram considerados como determinantes sociais e estruturais condição socioeconômica, nível de escolaridade, estado civil, etnia, sexo, status de emprego, discriminação racial e por orientação sexual, xenofobia, ocupação laboral, estresse ocupacional e lesão no ambiente de trabalho. Foram incluídos estudos do tipo caso-controle, coorte, transversais, relato e série de casos, e ensaios clínicos. Também foram consideradas as cartas ao editor que relataram dados de pesquisa. A seleção dos estudos (triagem e elegibilidade) e a extração dos dados foram conduzidas em duplicata de maneira independente. Resultados: Foram triados 7.976 estudos, sendo 35 elegíveis (n = 682.875 participantes). A maioria dos estudos eram transversais (n = 28) e foram conduzidos no continente americano (n = 16). Embora um estudo identificou a associação entre alta renda e maior nível de educação e o TDM, a maioria dos estudos apontaram a desvantagem socioeconômica (n = 7) e o baixo nível de escolaridade (n = 5) como fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento do transtorno. Ser solteiro, divorciado ou viúvo, hispânico, desemprego, discriminação racial e por orientação sexual, fatores ocupacionais e pessoais também foram associados à condição. Nenhum estudo avaliou a DRT. Conclusão: Os determinantes sociais e estruturais podem aumentar o risco de desenvolver TDM e estudos futuros devem analisar esses fatores para o desenvolvimento da resistência ao tratamento.Introduction: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment-resistant depression (TRD) are debilitating conditions associated with decreased quality of life and costs for society and health services. Despite the discussion about the potential risk factors associated with the development of these disorders, such as decreased neurotransmitter levels, smoking, and the presence of comorbidities, the social and structural aspects are little explored. Objectives: Identify and describe the structural and social determinants that are associated with the development of MDD and TRD. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, PsycINFO, and LILACS databases, following the guiding question: “What are the social and structural determinants associated with the development of MDD and TRD?”. The following were considered as social and structural determinants: socioeconomic status, level of education, marital status, ethnicity, sex, employment status, racial and sexual orientation discrimination, xenophobia, work occupation, occupational stress, and workplace injury. Casecontrol, cohort, cross-sectional, case report and series, and clinical trials were included. Letters to the editor that reported research data were also considered. Study selection (screening and eligibility) and data extraction were conducted independently in duplicate. Results: A total of 7,976 studies were screened, of which 35 were eligible (n = 682,875 participants). Most studies were cross-sectional (n = 28) and were conducted in the Americas (n = 16). Although one study identified an association between high income and higher level of education and MDD, most studies indicated socioeconomic disadvantage (n = 7) and low level of education (n = 5) as risk factors for the development of the disorder. Being single, divorced or widowed, Hispanic, unemployment, racial and sexual orientation discrimination, occupational and personal factors were also associated with the condition. No study evaluated TRD. Conclusion: Social and structural determinants may increase the risk of developing MDD, and future studies should examine these factors for the development of treatment resistance.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)CAPES: 88887.103177/2025-0
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
