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
Prognostic impact of thyroid lymphocytic infiltration in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma
No full textA retrospective search for lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid was performed on archival paraffin specimens from 95 cases of thyroid medullary carcinoma observed at a single institution during a 30-year period. A mild lymphocytic infiltration of the nonneoplastic thyroid tissue, mainly concentrated at the edge of the tumor mass, was observed in 33 cases, while in a further 24 cases a moderate to marked lymphocytic infiltration, resembling that seen in chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, was homogeneously distributed all over the gland, with no apparent relationship to the site of the primary tumor. Virtually no lymphocytic infiltration was detected inside of any of the tumors. The presence of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis seemed to be a characteristic of the host rather than a tumor-induced event. Statistical univariate analysis of relapse-free survival and overall survival showed that lack of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis marked those patients with an increased risk of disease recurrence and death. However, the observed risk for survival was statistically nonsignificant, whereas that for disease recurrence was significant and remained in a multivariate model of statistical analysis
Skin blood flow during vasoconstrictive and vasodilative stimuli in essential hypertension patients: a laser Doppler flowmetry study
No full textIn order to compare the extent of the elicited vasoconstrictive and vasodilative response at the microcirculatory level in essential hypertension (EH), we measured the skin blood flow by means of a laser Doppler flowmeter (LDF). Thirty-four mild-to-moderate EH patients were enrolled. Twenty-two sex- and age-matched healthy subjects were selected as a control group. The LDF measurements were carried out with the probe over the fingertip of the distal phalanx at baseline conditions (Rest flow, RF), after an ischaemic test (post-ischaemic peak flow) and during an arithmetic stress test (AT). The flow was expressed in arbitrary units. The data were processed using the Perisoft computer program. The relative flows after the ischaemic test (Rel F1) and during the AT (Rel F2) were expressed as a percentage of the previous RF values (RF1 and RF2, respectively). During the AT, the lag time was calculated (in seconds). As compared to the control subjects, RF was significantly lower in the EH group (p < 0.01). During the AT, the EH patients showed a statistically lower mean Rel F2 decrease compared to the control subjects (p < 0.01). No statistically significant difference occurred in the Rel F1 and lag time. These data suggest that the vasoconstrictive capacity of the precapillary vessels is impaired in patients with hypertension
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
