Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
The Relationship between Postpartum Depression and Breastfeeding
No full textIntroduction: The purpose was to investigate the possible correlation or predictive relationship between breastfeeding and Postpartum Depression (PPD). Method: We conducted a prospective study in which 137 Arab women were assessed during pregnancy and postpartum. Current breastfeeding was correlated with postpartum outcomes (EPDS and MINI), employment, and use of formula at 2 and 4 months postpartum, as well as with other variables. Results: Women who were breastfeeding at 2 and 4 months had lower scores on EPDS (p 0.0037 and p 0.0001, respectively) and were less likely to be diagnosed with PPD at 4 months (p 0.0025). Higher scores on EPDS and diagnosis of PPD at 2 months were predictive of lower rates of breastfeeding at 4 months (p 0.0001 and p 0.005, respectively). Women who were employed and using formula at 2 months were less likely to breastfeed at 4 months (p 0.0001). Breastfeeding women at 2 months had lower scores on EPDS (p 0.003) and were less likely to be diagnosed with PPD (p 0.05) at 4 months. Discussion: The results indicate that women who breastfeed their infants reduced their risk of developing PPD, with effects being maintained over the first 4 months postpartum. PPD may also decrease the rate of breastfeeding, suggesting a reciprocal relationship between these variables. © 2012 Baywood Publishing Co., Inc.Abou-Saleh MT, 1998, PSYCHONEUROENDOCRINO, V23, P465; Beck CT, 2001, NURS RES, V50, P275, DOI 10.1097-00006199-200109000-00004; McCoy Sarah J Breese, 2006, J Am Osteopath Assoc, V106, P193; Dennis CL, 2009, PEDIATRICS, V123, pE736, DOI 10.1542-peds.2008-1629; Dunn S, 2006, JOGNN-J OBST GYN NEO, V35, P87, DOI 10.1111-J.1552-6909.2006.00005.x; Galler JR, 1999, J DEV BEHAV PEDIATR, V20, P80, DOI 10.1097-00004703-199904000-00002; Ghubash R, 1997, SOC PSYCH PSYCH EPID, V32, P474; Ghusbash R, 2009, PSYCHOL REP, V105, P127; Green Katherine, 2006, Psychol Health Med, V11, P425, DOI 10.1080-13548500600678164; Hamdan A, 2011, ARCH WOMEN MENT HLTH, V14, P125, DOI 10.1007-s00737-010-0189-8; Hatton DC, 2005, J HUM LACT, V21, P444, DOI 10.1177-0890334405280947; Ip S, 2009, BREASTFEED MED, V4, pS17, DOI 10.1089-bfm.2009.0050; Kavanaugh K, 1997, J Hum Lact, V13, P15, DOI 10.1177-089033449701300111; Kehler HL, 2009, CAN J PUBLIC HEALTH, V100, P376; Kelly YJ, 2005, PUBLIC HEALTH NUTR, V8, P417, DOI 10.1079-PHN2004702; Kendall-Tackett Kathleen, 2007, Int Breastfeed J, V2, P6, DOI 10.1186-1746-4358-2-6; Kimbro RT, 2006, MATERN CHILD HLTH J, V10, P19, DOI 10.1007-s10995-005-0058-7; Labbok MH, 2001, PEDIATR CLIN N AM, V48, P143, DOI 10.1016-S0031-3955(05)70290-X; Lecrubier Y, 1998, EUR PSYCHIAT, V13, P198, DOI 10.1016-S0924-9338(98)80004-7; LOCKLIN MP, 1993, BIRTH-ISS PERINAT C, V20, P30, DOI 10.1111-j.1523-536X.1993.tb00176.x; OHara MW, 1996, INT REV PSYCHIATR, V8, P37, DOI 10.3109-09540269609037816; Robertson E, 2004, GEN HOSP PSYCHIAT, V26, P289, DOI 10.1016-j.genhosppsych.2004.02.006; Sheehan DV, 1998, J CLIN PSYCHIAT, V59, P22, DOI 10.4088-JCP.09m05305whi; Stewart DE, 2003, POSTPARTUM DEPRESSIO; SUSMAN VL, 1988, AM J PSYCHIAT, V145, P498; Taveras EM, 2003, PEDIATRICS, V112, P108, DOI 10.1542-peds.112.1.108; Vogel A, 1999, ACTA PAEDIATR, V88, P1320, DOI 10.1080-08035259975003001321

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
