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
Första året som yrkesverksamma sjuksköterskor : En kvalitativ litteraturöversikt
No full textBakgrund: Utbildningen till sjuksköterska innefattar tre års heltidsstudier. Målet med grundutbildningen är att utbilda självständiga yrkesverksamma sjuksköterskor. För att utöva yrket på ett sätt som leder till god och patientsäker omvårdnad behöver sjuksköterskor besitta färdigheter och förmågor att göra bedömningar, vilket nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor kan finna svårigheter i. För att underlätta övergången från studerande till yrkesverksamma sjuksköterskor är övergångsprocessen viktig att ha kunskap kring. Syftet: Syftet var att beskriva hur nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor upplever sitt första år att vårda patienter som yrkesverksam. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ design och deduktiv ansats. Resultat: Resultatet analyserades utifrån transitionsteorin och skapade tre olika kategorier: att göra, att vara och att veta med tillhörande sex subkategorier; osäkerhet, oväntat ansvar, känna tillhörighet, närhet till stöd, att växa i sin roll samt att kunna leda sig själv. Slutsats: Övergångsprocessen innebär en övergång från en fas till en annan. Nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor upplever oro och stress kring övergången. De flesta upplever att utbildningen inte gav tillräckligt med förberedelse inför den nya verkligheten. Därför är det av stor vikt att finna stöd och acceptans hos kollegor, vilket kan leda till en förbättrad arbetsmiljö och underlätta transitionsprocessen.
The Operating Room Nurse, The Surgical Team and The Instruments : An Integrative Literature Review of Music in the Operating Room Environment
No full textMusik används i operationssalen för att skapa en positiv arbetsmiljö, men kan samtidigt innebära risker kopplade till kommunikation och patientsäkerhet. Operationssjuksköterskan har en central roll i att upprätthålla både en säker och vårdande miljö. Syftet med arbetet var att belysa operationssjuksköterskans och operationsteamets erfarenheter och upplevelser av musik i operationssalen i samband med kirurgi. Arbetet genomfördes som en integrativ litteraturöversikt och baserades på elva vetenskapliga artiklar publicerade mellan 2015 och 2025 som söktes på databaserna CIHNAL, PubMed och PsycInfo. Studierna var gjorda i USA, Storbritannien, Libanon, Nya Zeeland, Italien och Taiwan. Dataanalysen gjordes tematiskt och två huvudteman togs fram – Musikens positiva effekter i operationssalen och När musiken blir ett problem samt åtta subteman. Musik upplevdes främst som positiv och bidrog till ökad trivsel, fokus och teamkänsla. Musik med låg volym (60–75 db(A) och lugn rytm upplevs främja koncentration och återhämtning. Problem uppstod främst vid hög ljudnivå eller när den spelas vid kritiska moment och kan då störa kommunikation samt öka risken för misstag. I nuläget fattas beslut om musik främst hierarkiskt, ofta av kirurgen, vilket kan skapa ojämlikhet i teamet. Operationssjuksköterskan är särskilt utsatt på grund av hennes fysiska placering i operationssalen. För att musiken ska fungera som ett vårdande verktyg krävs sänkta bullernivåer generellt. Det kräver även ett medvetet ledarskap, teamdelaktighet kring beslutet när, om och hur musiken ska spelas. För att medvetandegöra de höga bullernivåerna rekommenderas att installera auditiva mätinstrument i operationssalarna samt att medarbetare erbjuds hörselundersökningar för att i tid identifiera och åtgärda riskerna med hörselnedsättning. Music is commonly used in the operating room to create a positive working environment, yet it may also introduce risks related to communication and patient safety. The operating room nurse plays a key role in sustaining both safety and a caring perioperative atmosphere. The aim of this study was to explore operating room nurses’ and surgical teams’ experiences and perceptions of music during surgery. An integrative literature review was conducted based on eleven scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025, identified through CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO. The studies were carried out in the United States, the United Kingdom, Lebanon, New Zealand, Italy, and Taiwan. Thematic analysis generated two main themes — The positive effects of music in the operating room and When music becomes a problem — along with eight subthemes. Music was generally perceived as beneficial, enhancing well-being, focus, and team cohesion. Low-volume music (60–75 dB(A)) with a calm rhythm was described as supporting concentration and recovery. Challenges arose when music was loud or played during critical phases of surgery, which could disrupt communication and increase the risk of errors. Decisions about music were often made hierarchically, usually by the surgeon, which could create imbalance within the team. Operating room nurses were particularly affected due to their physical position and communication responsibilities. For music to function as a supportive tool, overall noise levels must be reduced. This requires conscious leadership, team involvement in decision-making, and increased awareness of noise exposure through auditory measuring devices and hearing assessments for staff
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
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
