Characteristics of Self-Citation in Journal of Natural Rubber Research 1988-1997: a Ten-Year Bibliometric Study
No full textAnalyses the extent of journal self-citation and author self-citation in the research articles and short communications published in Journal of Natural Rubber Research during 1988 to 1997. Results show that 53% of articles contained journal self-citations; the rate of journal self-citations per article ranges between 1 to 12; a high percentage of authors (61.4%) contributing articles to the journal cited themselves; a tendency is noticed for authors affiliated to the institution publishing the journal to cite the journal; the highest self-citing author is A. D. Roberts
A single journal study : Malaysian Journal of Computer Science
No full textSingle journal studies are reviewed and measures used in the studies are highlighted. The following quantitative measures are used to study 272 articles published in Malaysian Journal of Computer Science, (1) the article productivity of the journal from 1985 to 2007, (2) the observed and expected authorship productivity tested using Lotka's Law of author productivity, identification and listing of core authors; (3) the authorship, co-authorship pattern by authors' country of origin and institutional affiliations; (4) the subject areas of research; (5) the citation analysis of resources referenced as well as the age and half-life of citations; the journals referenced and tested for zonal distribution using Bradford's law of journal scattering; the extent of web citations; and (6) the citations received by articles published in MJCS and impact factor of the journal based on information obtained from Google Scholar, the level of author and journal self-citation
ITHACA
No full text
As an answer to the disabled community’s odyssey to gain access to adaptable, modular, multilingual, cheap and sustainable Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) products, we propose the use of the ITHACA framework. It is a software environment for building component-based AAC applications, grounded on the Design for All principles and a hybrid---
community
and
commercial
---Open Source development model. ITHACA addresses the developers, the vendors, as well as the people who use AAC. We introduce a new viewpoint on the AAC product design-develop-distribute lifecycle, and a novel way to search-select-modify-maintain the AAC aid. ITHACA provides programmers with a set of tools and reusable Open Source code for building AAC software components. It also facilitates AAC product vendors to put together sophisticated applications using the available on the Web, independently premanufactured, free or commercial software parts. Furthermore, it provides people who use AAC with a variety of compatible AAC software products which incorporate multimodal, user-tailored interfaces that can fulfill their changing needs. The ITHACA architecture and the proposed fusion of past and current approaches, trends and technologies are explained. ITHACA has been successfully applied by implementing a family of AAC products, based on interchangeable components. Several ready to use ITHACA-based components, including on-screen keyboards, Text-to-Speech, symbol selection sets, e-chatting, emailing, and scanning-based input, as well as four complete communication aids addressing different user cases have been developed. This demonstration showed good acceptance of the ITHACA applications and substantial improvement of the end users’ communication skills. Developers’ experience on working in ITHACA’s Open Source projects was also positively evaluated. More importantly, the potential contribution of the component-based framework and Open Source development model combination to the AAC community emerged.

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
Education of LGBTQ+ Healthcare in the School of Health Science and Human Performance at Ithaca College
No full textIn recent years, the visibility of LGBTQ+ people (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) has increased in popular culture and academia. It has become abundantly clear that our current medical system does not have the adequate infrastructure to provide culturally competent health care that fits the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals (James, et al., 2016). Across the country, clinicians do not have a large enough understanding of the health needs of LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) people to give them the care they need. One major issue surrounding LGBTQ+ care is the knowledge healthcare providers have about LGBT care (Rafferty, 2018). The first step to removing the roadblocks to quality care is to assess the schools where future clinicians are learning how to provide health care. One national survey found that nursing students were only receiving 2.12 hours of education related to LGBTQ+ health (Lim, Johnson, & Eliason, 2015). For healthcare providers who will encounter a variety of problems in the field, not having a wide range of knowledge around LGBTQ+ health issues will lead to poorer outcomes for LGBTQ+ patients (Bosse, Nesteby, & Randall, 2015). Ithaca College is widely considered one of the most queer-friendly colleges in the United States and as such, it is expected to include LGBTQ+ topics in its curriculum (Doran, 2014). It is possible that, while other schools struggle to prepare healthcare students to adequately respond to the needs of LGBTQ+ patients, Ithaca College may have a unique approach to inclusive healthcare training that can serve as model for others. This study seeks to examine how the curriculum in the school of Health Science and Human Performance is working towards educating future healthcare professionals to provide culturally competent care to LGBTQ+ patients.
