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
Health seeking behavior and associated factors among chronic heart failure Adult clients, Jimma University Specialized Hospital, South west Ethiopia
No full textBackground: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition where the heart
fails to meet the body’s circulatory demands. Health-seeking behavior is important factors
determining the acceptance of health care and outcomes, especially in chronic conditions like
heart failure.
Objective: To assess health seeking behavior and associated factors among chronic heart failure
adult clients admitted to medical and on chronic follow up clinic at Jimma University
Specialized Hospital, South west Ethiopia, 2016
Methods: Facility based cross-sectional quantitative study design was conducted with a total of
335 patients admitted to medical ward and or on chronic follow up clinic of Jimma University
Specialized Hospital. Consecutive sampling method was used to get the sample. Data was
collected using structured questionnaire. The data was entered, into Epi-data manager version 2.0
and data entry client, data was cleared and exported to SPSS 20.0 for further analysis. Variables
having p-value less than 0.25 in the bivariate analysis were entered into final model for
Multivariable analysis. Variables with p<0.05 in the multivariable analysis were considered
statistically significantly associated with health seeking behavior of Chronic heart failure
Result: Out of 335 participants 58.2% of the study participants had poor health seeking
behavior. Distance from health facility was significantly associated health seeking behavior.
Participants with monthly income of less than 500 ETB where less likely to adhere to good
health seeking behavior [AOR (95% CI of OR) = 0.581 (0.35, 0.98)], Poor self care were less
likely to adhere to good health seeking behavior at [AOR (95% CI of OR) = 0.191 (0.11, 0.33)]
duration heart failure less than one year were more likely to adhere to good health seeking at
[AOR (95% CI of OR) = 2.3 (1.12, 4.73) not take their medication as prescribed were more
likely to adhere to good health seeking behavior at [AOR (95% CI of OR) = 8.6(1.86, 39.59)].
Conclusion and recommendation: In this study poor health seeking behavior is experienced in
more than half of participants. In general factors such as adherence to self care behaviors,
attitude, duration of heart failure, income, distance, taking medication and knowledge were
significant factors that determine health seeking behavior of individuals. So that nurses and
managers on study area should work together on factors that affect patients’ health seeking
activities
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
