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
User's perspective on coming off psychiatric drugs Povzetek:
Get PDFThe subject of this master’s thesis is the process of coming off psychiatric drugs from the user's point of view. The theoretical section describes the historical context of psychiatry mainly in light of the appearance of psychiatric drugs and its impact on the design of modern psychiatric services. It goes on to define psychopharmaceuticals, their actions and effects, and outlines the concept of personal recovery from mental health problems from the point of view of the psychosocial model and the current knowledge about the process of coming off psychiatric drugs. The purpose of the master's thesis is to better understand how people who use psychiatric drugs come off them, regardless of whether they have the support of psychiatrists and other professionals or have set out on this path themselves (without support). The empirical part consists of a qualitative and quantitative approach. The quantitative part was comprised of an online questionnaire with a sample of 124 people who have come off, are currently coming off, or used to come off psychiatric drugs, but are now taking them regularly. Eight interviews were conducted within the qualitative part. The data obtained from the online questionnaire were processed in the statistical program, and the interviews were analyzed in terms of content. The findings of qualitative work show that the decision to come off psychiatric drugs is a complex intertwining of various factors that either enable or hinder the process: personal orientation, past experiences with coming off drugs, fears, environmental pressures, forms of support, etc. The results of the quantitative analysis suggest that coming off psychiatric drugs is more difficult for people who have used them for longer periods of time. At the same time, these individuals also experience more unpleasant and difficult withdrawal effects
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
User\u27s perspective on coming off psychiatric drugsPovzetek:
No full textMagistrsko delo obravnava proces opuščanja prihofarmakov z vidika uporabnikov. V teoretičnem uvodu delo obravnava zgodovinski kontekst psihiatrije predvsem v luči pojava psihofarmakoloških zdravil in njegovega vpliva na oblikovanje sodobnih psihiatričnih storitev. V nadaljevanju se posveča opredelitvi psihofarmakov, njihovega delovanja in učinkov, čemur sledi umestitev koncepta osebnega okrevanja od težav v duševnem zdravju z gledišča psihosocialnega modela ter dosedanja spoznanja o opuščanju psihofarmakov. Namen magistrskega dela je bolje spoznati, kako osebe, ki uporabljajo psihofarmakološka zdravila, le-ta opuščajo, ne glede na to ali imajo pri tem podporo psihiatrov in drugih strokovnih delavcev ali pa so se na to pot podali sami (brez podpore). Empirični del je sestavljen iz kvalitativnega in kvantitativnega pristopa. V kvantitativni del je bilo s spletnim anketnim vprašalnikom zajetih 124 oseb, ki so opustile, trenutno opuščajo ali pa so nekdaj opuščale psihofarmake, sedaj pa jih redno jemljejo. Znotraj kvalitativnega dela je bilo izvedenih osem intervjujev. Podatki, pridobljeni s spletnim anketnim vprašalnikom so bili obdelani v statističnem programu, intervjuji pa so bili vsebinsko analizirani. Ugotovitve kvalitativnega dela kažejo, da gre pri odločitvi za opuščanje psihofarmakov za kompleksen preplet različnih dejavnikov, ki proces bodisi omogočajo bodisi ovirajo: osebna naravnanost, pretekle izkušnje z opuščanjem, strahovi, pritiski okolice, oblike podpore, itd. Rezultati kvantitativne analize kažejo na to, da je opuščanje težavneje za osebe, ki psihofarmake uporabljajo dalj časa. Obenem te osebe doživljajo tudi bolj neprijetne in težavne odtegnitvene učinke.The subject of this master’s thesis is the process of coming off psychiatric drugs from the user\u27s point of view.
