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
Lieux de soins et paysages thérapeutiques. Du concept à la méthode. (Health care places and therapy landscapes. From concept to method)
No full textThis paper introduces a presentation of the research project : Location of care, health settings (LISO LISA) at the Institute of Interdisciplinary Research in the Humanities (IRISH). It intends to revisit the geography of the hospital and seeks to expand into new horizons. The timing seems particularly suited because many buildings, complete or partial, have been erected in recent years and limited budgets will no longer allow such investments for a long time. Focusing on "therapeutic landscapes", we present a now classic concept of English health geography. In addition, we want to help show that we can also use it to develop methods. This allows us to propose new criteria for discussing the quality of life of patients and health professionals in hospitals.Cet article de présentation introduit un projet de recherche : Lieux de SOins, LIeux de SAnté ? (LISO LISA), de l'Institut de Recherche Interdisciplinaire en Sciences de l'Homme (IRISH). Celui-ci se propose de revisiter la géographie de l'hôpital et de chercher à l'étendre vers de nouveaux horizons.
Le moment semble particulièrement adapté dans la mesure où de nombreuses constructions, complètes ou partielles, ont été menées ces dernières années et que les budgets restreints ne permettront plus ce type d'investissements avant longtemps. Centrer le propos sur les «paysages thérapeutiques », permet de présenter un concept en passe de devenir un classique de la géographie de la santé anglophone. Au delà, nous souhaitons contribuer à montrer que l'on peut aussi se servir de lui pour développer des méthodes. Celles-ci permettent de proposer de nouveaux critères permettant de discuter la qualité de vie des patients et des professionnels de santé dans les établissements hospitaliers.Vaguet A., Lefebvre Bertrand, Petit Mélanie.

L’hôpital en Asie du Sud
No full textL’hôpital est en crise. L’hôpital est en recomposition. L’hôpital doit s’ouvrir sur le reste du système de soins, il doit resituer le patient au cœur de son modèle médical. Ces constats, entendus de Paris à New-Delhi, sont symptomatiques d’une institution en profonde mutation depuis plusieurs décennies. Invitant au décentrement de ces enjeux, et rassemblant des chercheurs issus de différentes disciplines (anthropologie, géographie, psychologie, sociologie), ce volume présente un panorama actualisé des transformations de l’hôpital en Asie du Sud, en prenant appui sur la pluralité des pratiques, des normes, des lieux de soins, si particulière à cette région. De la santé de la mère et de l’enfant à la psychiatrie, du secteur public au secteur privé, de l’Inde au Pakistan, ces contributions témoignent de l’émergence de nouvelles aspirations chez les patients comme chez le personnel soignant, d’une redéfinition des relations entre soignants et soignés, et du développement de normes et pratiques novatrices en milieu hospitalier. Par la multiplicité des terrains présentés, ces travaux ne sont-ils pas aussi l’occasion d’interroger plus largement les transformations du rôle de l’État, la persistance de tensions sociales, religieuses et inter-castes, et enfin la circulation de modèles de soins entre global et local
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
