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
Expectativa sobre calidad de atención a usuarios en policlínica Tipitapa del Hospital Militar Escuela Dr. Alejandro Dávila Bolaños, Nicaragua 2022
No full textThe objective of this study was to identify users’ expectations about the quality of health care received in the outpatient clinic of Policlínica Tipitapa, belonging to the Hospital Militar Escuela Dr. Alejandro Dávila Bolaños, in Managua, Nicaragua, during the period august - november 2022. The type of research is observational, descriptive and cross-sectional. The study universe consisted of 4000 users attended in the year 2022, from which a sample of 325 users was selected, with a confidence index of 95%. The instrument used was a survey, adapted from the Servqual health services questionnaire. The main results show that 36.6% of the respondents were between 31 and 50 years old, and 54.97% were women. In terms of service expectations, 78% of users highlighted quality of care as a key aspect. Regarding the perceived quality of care, 92.2% said it was excellent; 95.6% stated that they had experienced a high degree of trust generated by the physician, and 73.1% rated the application of quality and safety standards during care as outstanding. Regarding the effectiveness of medical care, 87.6% rated it as excellent and 88.1% considered the responsiveness to be outstanding. The response capacity expected by the Tipitapa Polyclinic was one of the best rated, with 95% of those who said they expected an agile service, and regarding signage and infrastructure, the result was 97.2%. It is concluded that the generation of trust by the physician was the most highly valued aspect of the expectations, followed by the capacity of response expected by the users, and in third place, the quality of care at the time of entering the Policlinica Tipitapa was considered excellent.El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar las expectativas de los usuarios sobre la calidad de atención en salud recibida en la consulta externa de Policlínica Tipitapa, perteneciente al Hospital Militar Escuela Dr. Alejandro Dávila Bolaños, en Managua, Nicaragua, durante el período de agosto – noviembre 2022. El tipo de investigación es observacional, descriptivo y de corte transversal. El universo de estudio estuvo compuesto por 4000 usuarios atendidos en el año 2022, de los cuales se seleccionó una muestra de 325 usuarios, con un índice de confianza del 95 %.

Se concluye que la generación de confianza por el médico fue el aspecto mejor valorado de las expectativas, seguido por la capacidad de respuesta esperada por parte de los usuarios, en tercer lugar, la valoración calidad de la atención al momento de ingresar a la Policlínica Tipitapa fue considerada excelente
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
