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
A reorientação da atenção em saúde mental: sobre a qualidade e humanização da assistência
No full textObjetiva-se, neste trabalho, desenvolver uma reflexão em torno de algumas questões que se configuram como desafios importantes para gestores e profissionais ligados ao Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS. Diz respeito, também, à discussão sobre a qualidade e humanização das ações de saúde, dentre as quais se inserem aquelas do campo da saúde mental. Ambos os conceitos vêm ocupando um lugar de destaque no processo de reforma da assistência psiquiátrica em curso no Brasil e no discurso dos profissionais do campo, norteando os caminhos por onde deve trilhar a atenção em saúde mental. Trata-se de uma tentativa de abordagem da qualidade e humanização de uma perspectiva diversa daquelas que associam esses conceitos à lucratividade, desospitalização e assistencialismo, de articulá-los ao princípio da desinstitucionalização enquanto negação da lógica manicomial a que subjazem subjetividades e práticas e de instrumentalizá-las enquanto dispositivos éticos comprometidos com a invenção de novos modos de vida

Los (des)caminos de la formación profesional del psicólogo en Brasil para la actuación en la salud publica Misdirections in the professional training used to prepare psychologists in Brazil to work in the public health-care system
No full textIn Brazil, the practice of psychologists in public health-care institutions is hampered by the professional training that they have received. That training is inadequate in meeting the requirements of primary health care, in satisfying the needs of the patients who use the public health-care system, and in overcoming the social inequalities that exist in Brazil. This piece is intended to identify the factors that make it harder to provide adequate psychological care in public health-care institutions, especially in the local Basic Health Units of Brazil's public health-care system, the Unified Health System. These hindrances to providing good care mainly originate in training that points psychologists in the direction of very restricted models of health care. These narrow models prevent the psychologists from responding appropriately to the needs of their patient clientele and of the public institutions. These limited models also make it hard for psychologists to adapt to the dynamic conditions that they will face in the Unified Health System
Representações da prematuridade por mulheres usuárias do serviço público de saúde Representations of prematurity on female users of public health services
No full textTrata-se de um relato de uma experiência profissional ocorrida no serviço de obstetrícia e ginecologia de uma maternidade pública do Rio de Janeiro. Objetiva-se elucidar os significados da prematuridade construídos por mães de bebês nascidos prematuramente e internados em berçários de alto e médio riscos. Os dados aqui discutidos foram obtidos através de diferentes procedimentos: observação participante na enfermaria e berçários; entrevista semi-estruturada com as mães; grupo de discussão realizado semanalmente com usuárias e equipe de saúde, atendimento individual com as mães e familiares dos bebês. Em linhas gerais, pode-se dizer que nesse contexto específico, são muito freqüentes entraves na comunicação entre a equipe profissional, mães e familiares, devido aos diferentes estilos discursivos, bem como à diversidade de crenças e valores em relação à prematuridade. Esse quadro deriva para uma baixa contratualidade e adesão das mães ao tratamento e prescrições médicas, o que tem implicações sérias no que diz respeito aos cuidados com os bebês. O psicólogo, como parte da equipe de saúde, pode desempenhar uma função importante enquanto mediador e potencializador de relações mais humanizadas dentro dos serviços de saúde, impactando na qualidade da atenção prestada.This is a report on a professional experience in obstetrics and gynecological services at a public maternity in Rio de Janeiro. The purpose is to elucidate the meanings of prematurity from the point of view of mothers of babies prematurely born and interned on high and medium risk nurseries. Data here discussed have obtained through different procedures: participative observation in infirmary and nursery services; half-structured interviews with mothers; weekly discussion groups with users and health team, individual attendance on mothers and babies’ relatives. In general, we can say that, within this specific context, there are frequent hindrances in communication between health team, mothers and relatives, due to different speech styles as well as the different beliefs and values in relation to prematurity. That scene leads to low agreement and little mothers’ adhesion to treatment and medical prescriptions, which has serious implications on babies’ cares. The psychologist, as part of the health team, may play an important role as intercessor and stimulator of more humanized relations inside health services having, this way, an impact on quality of given attendance
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
