Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Ansiedad materna y funciones ejecutivas en niños preescolares en instituciones educativas en la ciudad de Neiva
No full textEstudios recientes han evidenciado una conexión significativa entre la ansiedad materna y el desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas en la primera infancia, un conjunto de habilidades cognitivas que permiten a los niños planificar, organizar y ejecutar actividades de forma eficaz. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre los niveles de ansiedad de las madres y el rendimiento de las funciones ejecutivas en niños en edad preescolar que asisten a instituciones educativas, en la ciudad de Neiva. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 209 niños preescolares, seleccionados mediante un muestreo por conveniencia, y sus madres. Para evaluar los niveles de ansiedad materna, se utilizó el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo (STAI), una herramienta validada que permite medir tanto la ansiedad como un estado transitorio (ansiedad-estado) como una característica estable de personalidad (ansiedad-rasgo). La ansiedad-estado se refiere a la ansiedad que se experimenta en un momento particular, mientras que la ansiedad-rasgo refleja una tendencia generalizada hacia la ansiedad en diversas situaciones. Para medir eldesarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas en los niños preescolares, se aplicó la Batería Neuropsicológica para Preescolares (BANPE). Este instrumento permite obtener un perfil detallado de las habilidades ejecutivas en la infancia temprana, abarcando aspectos como teoría de la mente, planeación, abstracción, procesamiento en riesgo beneficio, memoria de trabajo, control inhibitorio y la flexibilidad cognitiva, que son fundamentales en el proceso de adaptación y aprendizaje. La investigación adopto un enfoque cuantitativo, y los datos obtenidos fueron analizados mediante métodos estadísticos que permitieron identificar correlaciones entre los niveles de ansiedad materna y el desempeño en las diferentes áreas de las funciones ejecutivas de los niños. Los resultados revelaron que las madres presentaban niveles predominantemente medios de ansiedad rasgo (50,7%), con un menor porcentaje en niveles altos (12,1%). Aunque se encontró una correlación significativa entre AE y AR (r = 0,694; p < 0,01), no se observaron relaciones consistentes entre la ansiedad materna y las funciones ejecutivas infantiles, salvo en la capacidad de abstracción, donde se identificó una correlación negativa entre AR y esta habilidad (r = -0,187; p < 0,01). Esto sugiere que altos niveles de ansiedad rasgo materna pueden asociarse con un entorno menos propicio para el desarrollo de habilidades abstractas en los niños.
Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de considerar los niveles de ansiedad materna como un posible factor que influye en el entorno familiar y en el desarrollo cognitivo de los niños. Aunque la influencia directa de la ansiedad materna sobre las funciones ejecutivas parece limitada, las áreas de abstracción y planeación podrían ser particularmente sensibles.Recent studies have shown a significant connection between maternal anxiety and the development of executive functions in early childhood, a set of cognitive skills that allow children to plan, organize and execute activities effectively. This research aimed to analyze the relationship between mothers' anxiety levels and the performance of executive functions in preschool children attending educational institutions in the city of Neiva. The sample was made up of 209 preschool children, selected through convenience sampling, and their mothers. To evaluate maternal anxiety levels, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used, a validated tool that allows measuring both anxiety as a transitory state (state-anxiety) and a stable
personality characteristic (trait-anxiety). State anxiety refers to anxiety experienced at a particular moment, while trait anxiety reflects a generalized tendency toward anxiety in various situations. To measure the development of executive functions in preschool children, the Neuropsychological Battery for Preschoolers (BANPE) was applied. This instrument allows obtaining a detailed profile of executive skills in early childhood, covering aspects such as theory of mind, planning, abstraction, risk-benefit processing, working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility, which are fundamental in the process. adaptation and learning. The research adopted a quantitative approach, and the data obtained were analyzed using statistical methods that allowed us to identify correlations between maternal anxiety levels and performance in the different areas of children's executive functions. The results revealed that mothers presented predominantly medium levels of trait anxiety (50.7%), with a lower percentage at high levels (12.1%). Although a significant correlation was found between EA and AR (r = 0.694; p < 0.01), no consistent relationships were observed between maternal anxiety and children's executive functions, except in abstraction capacity, where a negative correlation was identified. between AR and this skill (r = -0.187; p < 0.01). This suggests that high levels of maternal trait anxiety may be associated with an environment less conducive to the development of abstract skills in children.
These findings highlight the importance of considering maternal anxiety levels as a possible factor influencing the family environment and children's cognitive development. Although the direct influence of maternal anxiety on executive functions seems limited, the areas of abstraction and planning could be particularly sensitive.Resumen -- Introducción -- Planteamiento del problema -- Objetivos --Justificación -- Antecedentes -- Marco Conceptual -- Desarrollo cognitivo -- Ansiedad -- Ansiedad Materna -- Funciones ejecutivas -- Desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas -- Costo Beneficio y Detección de Selecciones de Riesgo -- Control inhibitorio -- Memoria de Trabajo -- Flexibilidad Mental -- Abstracción -- Fluidez Verbal -- Metodología -- Criterios de elegibilidad -- Procedimiento -- Análisis de la información -- Consideraciones Éticas -- Resultados -- Discusión -- Conclusiones -- Recomendaciones -- Bibliografía.PregradoPsicologí
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

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.
