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
Palliativ omsorg til hjertesviktpasienter
Get PDFHensikt: Litteraturstudien har til hensikt å utforske hvordan sykepleier kan inkludere palliativ omsorg i behandlingen til hjertesviktpasienter.
Metode: Dette er en systematisk litteraturstudie bestående av åtte artikler og selvvalgt litteratur, hvorav tre artikler er kvalitative, tre er kvantitative, en er mikset-metode og en er en systematisk litteraturstudie basert på 37 forskningsartikler.
Resultat: Funnene viser at det er stort behov for både teoretisk kunnskap om palliativ omsorg rettet mot hjertesviktpasienter, og kompetanse innen kommunikasjonsferdigheter blant sykepleiere. Forløpet ved hjertesvikt er uforutsigbart og sykepleiere føler det er utfordrende å vite når lindrende behandling skal trekkes inn. Sykepleiere er ikke komfortable i diskusjoner om palliativ omsorg, og det kreves både riktig tidspunkt og varsomhet i alle slags samtaler om terminal omsorg. Det bør være repeterende muligheter for diskusjon om temaet. Sykepleiere opplever frustrasjon rundt den tverrprofesjonelle samhandlingen til hjertesviktpasienter, og det er behov for en tydelig definisjon av de ulike rollene. Videre er det nødvendig at sykepleiere tar i bruk verktøy for å skape større koordinasjon og kontinuitet i omsorgen til pasientene.
Konklusjon: Sykepleier har behov for økt kompetanse og kommunikasjonsferdigheter om palliasjon til hjertesviktpasienter. Palliativt team og en palliativ plan bør tidlig trekkes inn i behandlingsforløpet for å kunne tilby helhetlig omsorgstilbud for pasientgruppen.Aim: The purpose of this literature study is to research how nurses can include palliative care in the treatment of patients with heart failure.
Method: This is a systematic literature study, containing eight research articles as well as self-selected literature. Of these, three studies are qualitative, three are quantitative, one uses a mixed-method and one is a systematic literature study based on 37 research articles.
Results: This study reveals that there is a great need for both theoretical knowledge on palliative care for heart failure patients, and knowledge on communication skills within the nursing staff. The course of heart failure is unpredictable, and nurses find it challenging to know when to start palliative treatment. Nurses are not comfortable in discussions on palliative care, and therefore discussions on terminal treatment demand the appropriate timing and caution. Nurses experience frustration concerning interprofessional cooperation regarding patients with heart failure, and there is therefore a need for clearly defined roles. It is essential that nurses utilize tools to improve cooperation and continuity in care.
Conclusion: Nurses have an increased need for knowledge and communication skills towards palliative care for heart failure patients. Advanced care plan and the palliative care team should be included early in the course of treatment, to offer comprehensive care services for the patient group

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
