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

Lung structure abnormalities, but normal lung function in pediatric bronchiectasis.
No full textBACKGROUND: Bronchiectasis is not considered to be uncommon in children anymore. The relationship between pulmonary function and severity of bronchiectasis is still controversial. STUDY OBJECTIVES: To assess the extent and severity of bronchiectasis through high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan score, and to correlate it with clinical, microbiological, and functional data. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-three white children with HRCT-diagnosed bronchiectasis were studied. Bronchiectasis extent, bronchial wall thickening severity, and bronchial wall dilatation severity were evaluated using the Reiff score. Clinical, microbiological, and spirometry results were related to total HRCT scan score and to subscores as well. RESULTS: The percentages of affected lobes were as follows: right lower lobe, 65\%; middle lobe, 56\%; left lower lobe, 51\%; right upper lobe, 37\%; lingula, 30\%; and left upper lobe, 30\% (chi(2) = 18.4; p = 0.002). The mean (+/- SEM) HRCT score was 20 +/- 2.6. Total score or subscores of bronchiectasis extent, bronchial wall thickening severity, and bronchial wall dilatation severity were not significantly related to FEV(1) and FVC. Seventy-four percent of patients had asthma. The age at the onset of cough correlated with age at the time of the HRCT scan (p = 0.004) and with the presence of asthma (p = 0.01). Positive findings of deep throat or sputum cultures were found more frequently in atopic patients (p = 0.02) and asthmatic (p < 0.01) patients, and in children who were < 2 years of age at the onset of cough (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Normal lung function may coexist with HRCT scan abnormalities and does not exclude damage to the bronchial structure. Pulmonary function is not an accurate method for assessing the severity of lung disease in children with bronchiectasis
La chiesa di San Gennaro nel sito reale di Capodimonte
No full textIl saggio appunta l’attenzione sulla chiesa di San Gennaro, un piccolo edificio che si trova all’interno del complesso di Capodimonte. Gli studi condotti sinora collocano la sua edificazione negli anni quaranta, come attesterebbe l’iscrizione apposta sulla facciata nel 1745, realizzata da Ferdinando Sanfelice per Carlo di Borbone. Attraverso nuove fonti documentarie si proverà a correggere questa datazione, collocando questo edificio tra le fabbriche già esistenti all’interno di uno dei fondi acquistati dal sovrano per dare vita al comprensorio reale.
Come noto, proprio dopo l’acquisto, Ferdinando Sanfelice si occupò di varie opere, tra le quali nel 1745 dell’innovazione di questa chiesetta al fine di integrarla all’interno del parco, come attesta la già menzionata iscrizione. I temi connessi alla realizzazione e al riuso di questa chiesetta saranno approfonditi in relazione al contributo fornito da Sanfelice all’interno di Capodimonte.
Partendo dalla chiesa di San Gennaro, si cercherà poi di allargare le riflessioni al contesto internazionale poiché questo episodio ben si presta al confronto con alcuni impianti simili barocchi e tardo barocchi, confermando il profilo colto e mai provinciale di uno dei più straordinari protagonisti dell’architettura napoletana del SettecentoMy paper focuses on the church of San Gennaro, a little building inside the site of Capodimonte.
The studies on this church consider its construction contemporary to the building of the royal palace and to the planning of the gardens promoted by Carlo di Borbone, as the date 1745 in the inscription on the facade would seem to prove.
Through new documents I’ll try to prove that this little religious building was erected before as a chapel for the farmers.
The church became part of the Reale Bosco di Capodimonte just after the purchase of the land by the Casa Reale and in that occasion it was modernized by Ferdinando Sanfelice. He was one of the few neapolitans architects who worked for Carlo di Borbone and had a starring role in the organization of the Royal property of Capodimonte.
My paper analyzes the topics connected to the construction and reuse of this little religious building in relation to the contribution of Ferdinando Sanfelice in other works builded inside Capodimonte.
The considerations will be extended to the international context because this ‘episode’ lends itself to comparison to some similar Baroque and late Baroque drawings confirming the educated and not provincial character of one of the greatest protagonists of the eighteenth century Neapolitan architecture
