Response to: 'Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and antisynthetase syndrome: Contribution of antisynthetase antibodies to improve current classification criteria' by Greco et al
Full text linkIn an effort to improve and harmonise the classification of ASSD, the CLASS (classification criteria of ASSD) project
has recently been funded by the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism. It will be interesting to see if similar results can be repeated using a large
and carefully selected cohort
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
AB1597 DETERMINANTS OF TELEMEDICINE ACCEPTANCE AMONG PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF DATA FROM A GERMAN NATIONWIDE SURVEY
No full textInternational audienceBackground Telemedicine (TM) is an effective tool to supplement rheumatology care and address staff shortages [1]. A previous study revealed that patients’ willingness to try TM is closely connected to their rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMD) [2]. Yet, it is still unclear which factors are associated with patients’ willingness to try TM among specific RMD groups, such as the most prevalent rheumatic arthritis (RA). Objectives To identify factors that determine the willingness to try TM (TM-try) among patients diagnosed with RA. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a German nationwide cross-sectional survey [3] among patients with RA. Bayesian univariate logistic regression analysis was applied to the data in order to determine which factors were associated with TM-try. Predictor variables (covariates) studied individually included sociodemographic factors (e.g., age, sex) and health characteristics (e.g., health status). All the variables positively and negatively associated with TM-try in the univariate analyses were then considered for Bayesian model averaging analysis (BMA) after a selection based on the variance inflation factor (≤ 2.5) to identify determinants of TM-try. Results A total of 22 variables/factors (22/55, 40%) were found to be positively or negatively associated (ROPE% ≤ 5%) with TM-try among 146 RA patients. A total of 9 determinant factors were identified using BMA (Figure 1). Wishing that TM services were offered by a rheumatologist, having prior TM knowledge, living in a town and considering one’s health status as okay were positively associated with TM-try. By contrast, not owning an electronic device, not having internet access at home, considering to have a bad health status and being more than 60 years old were negatively associated with TM-try. Conclusion Our results suggest that health status, TM knowledge, age, and access to technical equipment and infrastructure influence RA patients’ motivation to use telehealth in Germany. Consequently, training programs and targeted support measures in terms of equipment and infrastructure could help ensure that all patients have equal access to telehealth.

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
