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
Hubungan Penambahan Berat Badan Interdialisis dengan Kualitas Hidup Pasien Penyakit Ginjal Kronik yang Menjalani Hemodialisis
No full textQuality of life becomes an important measure as patients undergoing renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis. The objective of the research was to analyze the correlation interdialytic weight gain and the quality of life of a patient chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The research used descriptive correlation design with 194 samples from RSUD dr. Pirngadi and RSUP Haji Adam Malik, Medan. The instruments of the research were observation sheets of interdialytic weight gain using weight scales Weighing Machine model ZT-120, Camry BR2015 and questionnaires on Kidney Disease Quality of Life version 1.3 (KDQOL 1.3), and conducting interviews in order to find out the spiritual domain. The result showed that mean interdialytic weight gain was 3.92% (range 0,45%-8,19). Score quality of life decreased significantly with mean 53.47 (SD 21.00). The dimension had the lowest mean was role limitation caused by physical health problems 3.16 (SD 14.15) and the highest was dialysis staff encouragement 95,81 (SD 14,15). The result of Pearson correlation test showed that p value was 0.00 (p<0.05) with r value of -0.307 which indicated that there was the significant correlation between interdialytic weight gain and the quality of life in patients. In addition, this study also found that the meaning of spirituality in patients, by being devoted to God, needed support from closed friends, had great expectation for recovery and accepted their illness sincerely. It is recommended that nurses in the hemodialysis unit assess the quality of life continuously and pay attention to the liquid management on patients undergoing hemodialysis.Kualitas hidup menjadi ukuran penting setelah pasien menjalani terapi pengganti ginjal seperti hemodialisis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa hubungan penambahan berat badan interdialisis dengan kualitas hidup pasien penyakit ginjal kronik yang menjalani hemodialisis. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif korelasional dengan jumlah sampel 194 pasien yang berasal dari RSUD dr. Pirngadi dan RSUP Haji Adam Malik Medan. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah lembar observasi penambahan berat badan dengan alat ukur timbangan berat badan Weighing Machine model ZT-120, CAMRY BR2015 dan kuisioner Kidney Disease Quality of Life versi 1,3 (KDQOL 1,3) serta panduan wawancara untuk melihat domain spiritualitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata penambahan berat badan interdialisis adalah 3,92% (rentang 0,45%-8,19%). Nilai kualitas hidup responden mengalami penurunan yang signifikan dengan nilai rata-rata 53,47 (SD 21,00). Dimensi kualitas hidup yang mempunyai nilai rata-rata paling rendah adalah keterbatasan akibat masalah fisik yaitu 3,16 (SD 12,30) dan yang tertinggi adalah dukungan dari staf dialisis yaitu 95,81 (SD 14,15). Hasil uji korelasi Pearson diperoleh p value 0,00 (p<0,05), dengan nilai r -0,307. Hal ini berarti ada hubungan yang signifikan antara penambahan berat badan interdialisis dengan kualitas hidup pasien penyakit ginjal kronik yang menjalani hemodialisis. Selain itu penelitian ini juga menemukan makna spiritualitas pada pasien yaitu mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan, butuh dukungan dari orang terdekat, mempunyai harapan besar untuk sembuh dan menerima dengan ikhlas penyakit yang diderita. Ners di unit hemodialisis diharapkan melakukan penilaian kualitas hidup secara berkelanjutan dan memperhatikan manajemen cairan pada pasien yang menjalani hemodialisis.159 Halama
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
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
