Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Decoding Hidden Messages: Can Fecal Host Transcriptomics Open Pathways to Understanding Environmental Enteropathy?
No full textIn this issue of Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology
and Hepatology, Yu et al1
showed how human RNA
could be isolated from feces and interrogated. They applied
this technology to feces from 259 children in rural Malawi
to show that host messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts
encoding immune and epithelial cell adhesion proteins
associate with environmental enteric dysfunction (EED),
defined as the percentage of lactulose excretion (%L), as a
measure of barrier dysfunction, growth impairment, or both.
The transcripts identified include those associated with
broad immunologic responses (T-cell chemokines, immunoglobulin
Fc fragments, interferon-induced proteins,
neutrophil, and B-cell activators), mediators that dampen
cell responses to growth hormones, and reduced expression
of mucin, epidermal growth factor receptor, and mucous
layer kinase. This ability to noninvasively assess intestinal
mRNA provides an intriguing approach to the difficult
problem of understanding the dynamic interplay occurring
in the relatively inaccessible small-bowel mucosa between
environmental microbes and nutrients and the human host.
Such interactions profoundly affect the delicate absorptive
barrier and inflammatory responses of the rapidly renewing
small-bowel mucosa and can determine healthy child
growth and cognitive development. Certainly many will be
concerned that the %L is a controversial and imperfect
assessment of environmental enteric dysfunction, because it
does not include direct assessments of active absorptive
function or local or systemic inflammation. Importantly,
however, the investigators analyzed which associations with
%L also were linked to growth impairment over the 3
months after stool collection. These included CLEC7, FCGR2,
FCGR3, IFITM1, IFITM2, LYN, MNDA, and SELL
Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value
No full textIn previous opinion articles written by the authors, it has been proposed that horsemastership is an effective medium for therapy and education for young adults with additional needs. However, the existing research to support this proposal is informal and limited. Therefore, the first author carried out an international piece of research into the value of horsemastership to this group of people. A questionnaire using both quantitative and qualitative methods was completed by 21 professionals of various disciplines and countries who used horsemastership for therapeutic and educational purposes. This article gives a brief description of the methodology, including justification for the design selected, and discusses the relevance and implications of the results of this study. To pull together the three articles written by the authors, a final conclusion on the value of horsemastership to people with additional needs is drawn.<br/
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Author Correction: Octyl itaconate enhances VSVΔ51 oncolytic virotherapy by multitarget inhibition of antiviral and inflammatory pathways
No full textCorrection to: Nature Communicationshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48422-x, published online 15 May 2024 The original version of this Article omitted from the author list the 28th author Rozanne Arulanandam, who is from the ‘Ottawa Hospital Research Insitute, Ottawa, ON, K1H 8L6, Canada’. Consequently, the following was added to the Author Contributions: ‘R.A. performed the revision experiments on cell lines shown in Figures 1 and 2, in particular, the virus titration and GFP measurements of virus infection in CT26wt and 76-9 with 4OI.’ The original version of this Article omitted funding details to R.L. The following was added to the Acknowledgements: ‘This research was supported by grants to R.L. from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) (PJT-169663).’ These have been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.<p/
