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
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
Harboring illnesses: On the association between disease and living conditions in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon
No full textThis research examined the association between the domestic built environment in a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon, and the presence of illness among household members. Data on the domestic built environment, socio-demographics and health were collected in 860 households. The association between the presence of illness among household members and three environmental indices, namely infrastructure and services, housing conditions, and crowding was evaluated. These indices were based on a number of items that reflected the existing problems in the domestic built environment. The main finding was the positive association between poor housing conditions and the presence of illness among household members. Households with 8-15 housing problems were twice more likely to report the presence of illness than those with less than four housing problems (OR = 2.08, 95percent CI = 1.40-3.11). This research contributes to the understanding of the influence of the built environment on the health of a refugee population. © 2006 Taylor and Francis.*ADM CENTR STAT, 1998, ET STAT COND VIE MEN; Al-Khatib IA, 2003, INT J ENVIRON HEAL R, V13, P315, DOI 10.1080-09603120310001616092; ANNATOUR S, 2004, PALESTINIAN REFUGEES; Dunn JR, 2000, SOC SCI MED, V51, P563, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(99)00496-7; Dunn JR, 2002, J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H, V56, P671, DOI 10.1136-jech.56.9.671; Evans GW, 2002, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V23, P303, DOI 10.1146-annurev.publhealth.23.112001.112349; Evans GW, 2002, J ENVIRON PSYCHOL, V22, P221, DOI 10.1006-jevp.256; *FAFO, 2003, DIFF PAST UNC FUT LI; Farah R, 2000, REPORT PSYCHOL EFFEC; FILFIL M, 1999, HOUSING ENV WOMENS H; GALEA S, 2005, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V26, P1; GIACAMAN R, 1985, PROFILE LIFE HLTH 3; Gray A., 2001, DEFINITIONS CROWDING; Jackson RJ, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1382, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.93.9.1382; Jones AP, 1998, SOC SCI MED, V47, P755, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(98)00151-8; KIFLE A, 2000, WORKSH HOUS URB DEV; Krieger J, 2002, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V92, P758, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.92.5.758; Kumie A, 2002, ETHIOP J HEALTH DEV, V16, P303; Lowry S., 1991, HOUSING HLTH; MAKHOUL J, 2003, ENV URBANIZATION, V15; Myers D, 1996, J AM PLANN ASSOC, V62, P66, DOI 10.1080-01944369608975671; Northridge ME, 2003, J URBAN HEALTH, V80, P556, DOI 10.1093-jurban-jtg064; Perdue WC, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1390, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.93.9.1390; ROUX AD, 2003, J URBAN HEALTH, V80, P539; Rylander R, 2000, ARCH ENVIRON HEALTH, V55, P300; Samet JM, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1489, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.93.9.1489; SIRINIVASAN S, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P1446; SPSS, 2003, STAT PACK SOC SCI VE; Takano T, 2001, J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H, V55, P263, DOI 10.1136-jech.55.4.263; Thomson H, 2001, BRIT MED J, V323, P187, DOI 10.1136-bmj.323.7306.187; *UN HABITAT, 2003, SHELT REF WORLD; *UNHCR, 2004, REF NUMB; *US CENS BUR, 2000, CENS 2000 AM HOUS SU; Wolff CG, 2001, BRIT MED J, V322, P1209, DOI 10.1136-bmj.322.7296.1209; World Health Organization, 1992, INT STAT CLASS DIS R; XAVIER R, 2003, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V93, P155975
Husbands' involvement in housework and women's psychosocial health: Findings from a population-based study in Lebanon
No full textObjectives. We examined the association between husbands' involvement in housework and the psychosocial health of their wives using data on married couples living in poor neighborhoods in Beirut, Lebanon. Methods. Data were derived from a cross-sectional survey of 2797 households; 1652 married couples and their families were included in the analysis. An index of husbands' relative involvement in housework was constructed from 25 items focusing on division of housework activities. Logistic regression was used to assess associations between husbands' involvement in housework and wives' self-rated mental health status, marital dissatisfaction, and unhappiness. Results. Husbands' involvement in housework was negatively associated with wives' psychological distress, marital dissatisfaction, and overall unhappiness after adjustment for relevant risk factors. In comparison with wives whose husbands were highly involved in housework, wives whose husbands were minimally involved were 1.60 times more likely to be distressed, 2.96 times more likely to be uncomfortable with their husbands, and 2.69 times more likely to be unhappy. Conclusions. Our results showed a significant association between husbands' involvement in housework and their wives' psychosocial health.Ahmad-Nia S, 2002, SOC SCI MED, V54, P753, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(01)00107-1; ARBER S, 1991, SOC SCI MED, V32, P425, DOI 10.1016-0277-9536(91)90344-C; Arber S, 2002, SOC SCI MED, V54, P643, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(01)00114-9; Artazcoz L, 2001, J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H, V55, P639, DOI 10.1136-jech.55.9.639; Bauer M, 1999, CURR OPIN PSYCHIATR, V12, P325, DOI 10.1097-00001504-199905000-00013; Baxter J, 2000, SOCIOLOGY, V34, P609, DOI 10.1017-S0038038500000389; Benjet C, 2004, PSYCHOL MED, V34, P881, DOI 10.1017-S0033291703001600; Beutel ME, 2004, EUR J OBSTET GYN R B, V117, P204, DOI 10.1016-j.ejogrb.2004.05.008; Bird CE, 1999, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V40, P32, DOI 10.2307-2676377; BLAIR SL, 1991, J FAM ISSUES, V12, P91, DOI 10.1177-019251391012001007; Borrell C, 2004, SOC SCI MED, V58, P1869, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(03)00408-8; Bosworth HB, 2001, PSYCHOSOM MED, V63, P603; BROMBERGER JT, 1994, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V84, P202, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.84.2.202; Bromberger JT, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P1378, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.94.8.1378; Cassidy K, 2004, AUST NZ J PSYCHIAT, V38, P940, DOI 10.1080-j.1440-1614.2004.01485.x; Chen YY, 2005, SOC SCI MED, V60, P49, DOI 10.1016-j.socscimed.2004.04.030; Dennerstein L, 2000, OBSTET GYNECOL, V96, P351, DOI 10.1016-S0029-7844(00)00930-3; des Rivieres-Pigeon C, 2002, J COMMUNITY APPL SOC, V12, P397, DOI 10.1002-casp.697; Diener E, 1999, PSYCHOL BULL, V125, P276, DOI 10.1037-0033-2909.125.2.276; Duran B, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P71, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.94.1.71; Eaton WW, 2001, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V42, P277, DOI 10.2307-3090215; ElRufaie OEF, 1996, BRIT J PSYCHIAT, V169, P662, DOI 10.1192-bjp.169.5.662; GLASS J, 1994, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V35, P179, DOI 10.2307-2137364; GOVE WR, 1984, SOC SCI MED, V19, P77, DOI 10.1016-0277-9536(84)90273-9; Habib RR, 2006, SEX ROLES, V55, P321, DOI 10.1007-s11199-006-9086-z; Harrison J, 1999, J PUBLIC HEALTH MED, V21, P283, DOI 10.1093-pubmed-21.3.283; Heilemann MV, 2004, ARCH PSYCHIAT NURS, V18, P185, DOI 10.1016-j.apnu.2004.07.006; HUNT K, 1993, SOCIOL HEALTH ILL, V15, P632, DOI 10.1111-1467-9566.ep11434424; *INT LAB OFF, 1983, B LABOR STAT, V3, P9; Jho M Y, 2001, Nurs Health Sci, V3, P131, DOI 10.1046-j.1442-2018.2001.00079.x; Jun HJ, 2004, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V94, P2170, DOI 10.2105-AJPH.94.12.2170; Krantz G, 1999, SCAND J PUBLIC HEALT, V27, P311, DOI 10.1177-14034948990270040501; Lahelma E, 1997, SOC SCI MED, V44, P721, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(97)88373-6; LAMMITASKULA J, 2000, WALKING TIGHTROPE BA, P1; La Rosa E, 2004, PRESSE MED, V33, P919, DOI 10.1016-S0755-4982(04)98795-7; Lee C, 2002, INT J BEHAV MED, V9, P195, DOI 10.1207-S15327558IJBM0903_03; LENNON MC, 1994, AM J SOCIOL, V100, P506, DOI 10.1086-230545; LENNON MC, 1992, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V33, P316, DOI 10.2307-2137311; Maziak W, 2002, SOC SCI MED, V54, P1419, DOI 10.1016-S0277-9536(01)00123-X; *MIN SOC AFF, 2004, LEB SOC EC STAT REAL; MIROWSKY J, 1985, AM J SOCIOL, V91, P557, DOI 10.1086-228314; Mowafi M, 2005, J EPIDEMIOL COMMUN H, V59, P260, DOI 10.1136-jech.2004.022822; Noor NM, 1997, J COMMUNITY APPL SOC, V7, P413, DOI 10.1002-(SICI)1099-1298(199712)7:5413119
