Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Determinants of Sexual Behavior in Adolescent Girls Aged 15-19 Years Old in Indonesia
No full textPremarital sexual behavior in adolescent is currently a concern because it may have negative impacts for the health of the teenagers. This study’s aim was to obtain factors associated with premarital sexual behavior (intercouse) in adolescent girls aged 15-19 years old in Indonesia. This study used the 2017 IDHS data with a cross sectional design. The research sample was 7213 respondents who was taken based on the research inclusion criterias. The results of this study explained that 79 female adolescents aged 15-19 years old who have had premarital sexual intercourse (1,1%). The results of the bivariate analysis used Chi-Square test revealed that the factors associated with premarital sexual behavior in adolescent girls were education (p-value 0,001), attitudes towards premarital sexual behavior (p-value 0,000), drug use (p-value 0,000), alcohol consumption (p-value 0,000), friends who have premarital sex (p-value 0,000), and having a boyfriend (p-value 0,000). The results of multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression test, known factors related to premarital sexual behavior in adolescent girls, namely attitudes toward premarital sexual behavior (p-value 0,000) and alcohol consumption (p-value 0,002). The most dominant variable in this study is the attitude towards premarital sex behavior. In this study, knowledge about reproductive health and having a boyfriend are confounding variables. Knowledge about reproductive and sexuality health in adolescents has to be increased so adolescents have a positive sexuality behavior
Faktor Determinan Kasus TB Paru di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Pamarican Kabupaten Ciamis
Get PDFIn 2021, the Pamarican Health Center had the second-highest cases of pulmonary TB in the Ciamis Regency. This study aimed to analyze the determinant factors of the incidence of pulmonary TB in the working area of the Pamarican Health Center. This study used a case-control design. The case population was all patients at the Pamarican Health Center from 2021 to July 2022 who had confirmed smear pulmonary TB (+) and residing in the working area of the Pamarican Health Center, namely 34 people. Meanwhile, the control group consisted of all patients at the Pamarican Health Center from 2021 to July 2022 who tested negative for pulmonary TB, namely 416 people. Selection of case samples using total sampling, while control samples using purposive sampling. The comparison of cases and controls is 1: 2 so the sample size of cases and controls was 34: 68. Data was collected through interviews using a questionnaire, observation using observation sheets, and direct measurements using a roll meter. Data analysis used univariate analysis, the bivariate analysis used chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, and multivariate analysis used multiple logistic regression. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that 2 variables were proven to have a significant relationship with the incidence of pulmonary TB, namely marital status (p = 0.038; OR = 2.774, 95% CI: 1.038-7.414), comorbid diseases (p = 0.006; OR = 6.667; 95% CI: 1.640 – 27.107). Based on the results of multivariate analysis, it was known that there was one variable that was most related to the incidence of pulmonary TB, namely the comorbid disease variable, with an OR of 5.302 (95% CI: 1.215 – 23.146). Based on the research results, it was suggested to the American Health Center to continue to monitor and control comorbid diseases, namely DM, which is a risk factor for TB transmissionPada tahun 2021, Puskesmas Pamarican memiliki kasus TB paru tertinggi kedua di Kabupaten Ciamis. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis faktor determinan kasus TB paru di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pamarican. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kasus kontrol. Populasi kasus adalah semua pasien di Puskesmas Pamarican tahun 2021 hingga Juli tahun 2022 yang terkonfirmasi TB paru BTA (+) dan tinggal di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pamarican yaitu 34 orang. Sedangkan kelompok kontrol adalah semua pasien di Puskesmas Pamarican tahun 2021 hingga Juli tahun 2022 yang dinyatakan negatif TB paru yaitu 416 orang. Sampel kasus ditentukan dengan teknik total sampling. Sedangkan, sampel kontrol ditentukan dengan teknik purposive sampling. 1 kasus berbanding dengan 2 kontrol sehingga besar sampel kasus sebanyak 34 orang dan sampel kontrol sebanyak 68 orang. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara menggunakan kuesioner, observasi menggunakan lembar observasi serta pengukuran langsung menggunakan rollmeter. Data dianalisis secara univariat, bivariat menggunakan uji chi square dan fisher exact, serta multivariat dengan regresi logistik ganda. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan 2 variabel yang terbukti memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan kejadian TB paru yaitu status perkawinan (p = 0,038; OR = 2,774, 95% CI: 1,038-7,414), penyakit komorbid (p = 0,006; OR = 6,667; 95% CI: 1,640 – 27,107). Analisis multivariat menunjukkan hasil yaitu penyakit komorbid menjadi variabel yang paling berhubungan dengan TB paru, dimana OR sebesar 5,302 (95% CI: 1,215 – 23,146). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, disarankan kepada Dinas Kesehatan/Puskesmas Pamarican untuk terus melakukan pemantauan dan pengendalian penyakit komorbid yaitu DM yang menjadi faktor risiko penularan TB
