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
Historia del Proyecto de Investigación en Servicios de Salud: Entrevista a Kerr White
No full textThe interview conducted in 1998 with Kerr L. White (1917-2014) is presented, translated into Spanish. White, an economist, epidemiologist, statistician, general physician, and health advocate, was highly critical of the separation between research, clinical practice, epidemiology, public health, and health policies. He was one of the pioneers in healthcare services research. His primary concern was society’s responsibility to allocate healthcare resources in the most appropriate way to improve the health of populations. White’s work critically addresses the absence of a population perspective in epidemiology applied to healthcare services and systems, and the lack of evaluation of the social and economic impact of practices. He also highlights the dehumanization of care processes. Despite being undercited in health literature, we reintroduce his figure with the aim of disseminating the relevance of his thoughts and contributions.Se presenta la entrevista realizada en 1998 a Kerr L. White (1917-2014), traducida al español. White fue un economista, epidemiólogo, estadístico, médico general, sanitarista, muy crítico de la separación entre la investigación, la clínica, la epidemiología, la salud pública y las políticas de salud. Fue uno de los fundadores de la investigación sobre los servicios de atención médica. Su preocupación básica fue la responsabilidad de la sociedad para asignar recursos de atención médica de la manera más apropiada para mejorar la salud de las poblaciones. La producción de White señala críticamente la ausencia de una mirada poblacional en la epidemiología aplicada a servicios y sistemas de salud, y en la evaluación del impacto social y económico de las prácticas, señalando además la deshumanización de los procesos de atención y cuidado. Sus trabajos han sido poco citados en los textos del campo de la salud, por lo que recuperamos su figura con el objetivo de difundir la vigencia de su pensamiento y su obra
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
