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
ESTUDIO BIBLIOMÉTRICO SOBRE CALIDAD DE VIDA Y ENFERMEDAD RENAL CRÓNICA, EN LA BASE DE DATOS SCIELO
No full textChronic kidney disease (CKD) constitutes a health problem with high biomedical and psychosocial impact; affects the quality of life (QoL) of patients and formal and informal caregivers. This study had the objective of characterizing the scientific publications on QoL in patients with CKD. A descriptive bibliometric study was carried out (frequencies, means and percentages); The sample was conformed by 79 articles from SciELO journals, between 2002-2022. Search criteria: “quality of life”, “chronic kidney disease”, “chronic kidney failure” and “hemodialysis” (Boolean operators: AND and OR). The data extracted from the publications were: publications (journal, publishing country, date and citations), authorship (productivity, country and institution, gender, co-authorships), method (methodology, instrument, sample). The data were processed in EXCEL (Microsoft-Office 16). It was found that 92.4% of the articles are published in magazines from Brazil, Spain and Cuba; the journal“Enfermería Nefrológica and Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia” presented the highest number of publications. The year with the fewest publications was 2004 and the most productive was 2011. There are 355 authors with 402 authorships, the most productive author has five authorships. Of them, 74% are female. Authors from Brazil, Colombia, Cuba and Spain publish 86.08% of the articles. 93.67% of the research is quantitative. The most used instruments are: Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (36.7%) and Short Form Health Survey SF-36 (21.51%). It is concluded that most of the articles belong to authors, magazines and institutions from Brazil, Spain, Cuba and Colombia. The laws of Bradford and Lotka were fulfilled; Price's law was not fulfilled. La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) constituye una problemática sanitaria de alto impacto biomédico y psicosocial; afecta la calidad de vida (CV) de pacientes y cuidadores formales e informales. Este estudio tuvo el objetivo de caracterizar las publicaciones científicas sobre CV en pacientes con ERC. Se realizó un estudio bibliométrico, de tipo descriptivo (frecuencias, medias y porcientos). La muestra estuvo constituida por 79 artículos de revistas de SciELO, entre 2002-2022. Criterios de búsqueda: “calidad de vida”, “enfermedad renal crónica”, “insuficiencia renal crónica” y “hemodiálisis” (operadores booleanos: AND y OR). Se extrajo la siguiente información: publicaciones (revista, país que publica, fecha y citas), autoría (productividad, país e institución, género, coautorías), método (metodología, instrumento, muestra). Los datos se procesaron en EXCEL (Microsoft-Office 16). Se obtuvo que el 92,4% de los artículos se publican en revistas de Brasil, España y Cuba; la revista “Enfermería Nefrológica y Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia” es la que presenta mayor número de publicaciones. El año con menos publicaciones fue 2004 y el más productivo fue 2011. Se contabilizan 355 autores con 402 autorías, el autor más productivo tiene cinco autorías. De ellos, el 74% es del género femenino. Los autores de Brasil, Colombia, Cuba y España publican el 86,08% de los artículos. El 93,67% de las investigaciones son cuantitativas; los instrumentos más usados son: Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (36,7%) y Short Form Health Survey SF-36 (21,51%). Se concluye que la mayoría de los artículos pertenecen a autores, revistas e instituciones de Brasil, España, Cuba y Colombia. Se cumplieron las leyes de Bradford y Lotka; no se cumplió la ley de Price.
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
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
Estimulação cognitiva e apoio familiar para idosos com comprometimento cognitivo
No full textThe study of a family of the health area of the Community Polyclinic of Palma Soriano was presented with the aim of socializing the experience of the early cognitive stimulation of an older adult with cognitive deterioration through family support. The study concluded in 2015, in Palma Soriano. The non-experimental research design was used, instrumental case study from the qualitative methodology. The study included a family, was based on the work of the focus group and assisted in standardized techniques. It was concluded that the family support provided to the patient with cognitive impairment positively impacts their physical condition, psychological well-being and social relationships. Likewise, family support was recognized as a necessary, emotionally important and coherent path with the Cuban socio-demographic situation, which enables early cognitive stimulation of the elderly with cognitive impairment.Se presentó el estudio de una familia del área de salud del Policlínico Comunitario de Palma Soriano con el objetivo de socializar la experiencia de la estimulación cognitiva temprana de un adulto mayor con deterioro cognitivo a través del apoyo familiar.

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
