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
Gender-Specific Differences in Recurrence and Progression following Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Instillation for Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
No full textIntroduction: To assess gender-specific differences in recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) among patients with intermediate or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) receiving BCG was the primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: In July 2023, we performed a literature search using MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. This study was prospectively registered at PROSPERO (CRD 2023443269). The detailed review protocol is accessible via CRD. Results: The systematic literature search identified 6,723 studies, of which 38 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Random-effect meta-analysis for RFS, based on data from 24 studies, revealed no statistically significant gender-specific difference (HR comparing males to females = 0.9618, 95% CI: 0.8408–1.1003, p = 0.5707). Similarly, for PFS, incorporating data from 14 studies, no statistically significant difference (HR = 0.9540, 95% CI: 0.7709–1.1805, p = 0.6648), for CSS, analysis of data from three studies yielded no statistically significant difference (HR = 0.9228, 95% CI: 0.6196–1.3743, p = 0.6925), and for OS, based on data from two studies, no statistically significant difference was observed (HR = 1.1436, 95% CI: 0.5092–2.5684, p = 0.7452). The risk of bias assessment indicated an overall moderate to high risk of bias. Conclusion: The findings indicate no association between gender and oncologic outcomes following BCG
Mechanistic Analysis Reveals Key Role of Interchalcogen Multicatalysis in Photo‐Aerobic 3‐Pyrroline Syntheses by Aza‐Wacker Cyclizations
No full textAbstract
A light‐driven dual and ternary catalytic aza‐Wacker protocol for the construction of 3‐pyrrolines by partially disulfide‐assisted selenium‐π‐acid multicatalysis is reported. A structurally diverse array of sulfonamides possessing homopolar mono‐, di‐ and trisubstituted olefinic double bonds is selectively converted to the corresponding 3‐pyrrolines in up to 95 % isolated yield and with good functional group tolerance. Advanced electrochemical mechanistic investigations of the protocol suggest a dual role of the disulfide co‐catalyst. On the one hand, the disulfide serves as an electron hole shuttle between the excited photoredox catalyst and the selenium co‐catalyst. On the other hand, the sulfur species engages in the final, product releasing step of the catalytic cycle by accelerating the β‐elimination of the selenium moiety, which was found in many cases to lead to considerably improved product yields.Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft https://doi.org/10.13039/501100001659H2020 European Research Council https://doi.org/10.13039/10001066
