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
Hospitalize Yaşlı Hastalarda Kırılganlığın ve Etkilerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Nurefşan Cihangiroglu Unal, MD. Evaluation of frailty and its effects in hospitalized geriatric population. Hacettepe University Medical Faculty Department of Internal Medicine, Residency Thesis, Ankara, 2017. Frailty syndrome is seen in high prevalences in hospitalized elderly patients and is usually under diagnosed. In this research our aim is to diagnose frailty in elderly patients that are hospitalized due to acute health problems using readily usable and practical methods and evaluate the effects on bad health outcomes. Fifty seven patients are included in this research that are hospitalized in Hacettepe Internal Medicine wards between March 2017 and September 2017 due to acute health problems that is over 65 years of age. Patients’ frailty measurements are done using Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Comprehensive geriatric assesment tests were performed. Bioelectric- impedance analysis (BIA) method was used to asses muscle mass and muscle strength was assessed with hand grip measurements. Patients are followed for bad health outcomes. Comprehensive geriatric assesment results were found to be related with frailty in both scales. Spearman correlation analysis showed positive correlation between EFS and comprehensive geriatric assesment tests. Hand grip strength was lower in frail patients and showed significant correlation between EFS scores. Frail patients’ hospitalization periods was found to be longer but this was not statistically significant. There was one mortality in the patients and this patient was in the frail patient population in both scales.

Dr. Nurefşan CİHANGİROĞLU ÜNAL. Hospitalize Yaşlı Hastalarda Kırılganlığın ve Etkilerinin Değerlendirilmesi. Hacettepe Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı, Uzmanlık Tezi olarak hazırlanmıştır. Ankara, 2017. Kırılganlık hospitalize yaşlı hastalarda yüksek prevelansla izlenen ve genellikle tanısı atlanılan bir geriatrik sendromdur. Bu çalışmada akut sağlık sorunlarıyla hospitalize edilen yaşlı hastalarda kırılganlığın kolay uygulanabilir, pratik yöntemlerle tespit edilmesi ve kötü sağlık sonlanımları üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya Mart 2017 ile Eylül 2017 tarihleri arasında Hacettepe İç Hastalıkları Servisleri’ ne akut sağlık kötüleşmesiyle yatışı yapılan 65 yaş ve üzeri toplam 57 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların kırılganlık ölçümleri Edmonton kırılganlık skalası (EKS) ve klinik kırılganlık skalası (KKS) kullanılarak yapıldı. Hastalara kapsamlı geriatrik değerlendirme testleri uygulandı. Biyoelektrik-empedans analiz yöntemi (BIA) ile kas kütlesi ölçümü ve el sıkma gücü ile kuvvet ölçümü yapıldı. Hastalar yatış süresi boyunca kötü sağlık sonlanımları açısından takip edildi. Kapsamlı geriatrik değerlendirme sonuçları her ölçekle yapılan ölçümlerde de kırılganlıkla ilişkili bulundu. Spearman korelasyon analizinde EKS ile diğer testler arasında anlamlı korelasyon saptandı. Kırılgan hastalarda el sıkma kuvveti ölçümlerinin kırılgan olmayan hastalara göre daha düşük olduğu ve EKS puanlarıyla el sıkma gücü testi değerleri arasında anlamlı korelasyon olduğu görüldü. Kırılgan bireylerde hastane yatış süresinin kırılgan olmayan bireylere göre daha uzun olduğu tespit edildi ancak bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmadı. Hastane takibi sırasında 1 hasta mortalite ile sonuçlanmış olup, bu hasta her iki ölçüm yönteminde de kırılgan hasta grubuna dahildi.
Anahtar sözcükler: Edmonton kırılganlık skalası, el sıkma gücü, kırılganlık, yatış süresi

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
