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
Comparison of in vivo confocal endomicroscopy with other diagnostic modalities to detect intracellular helicobacters
No full textIntracellular colonisation may serve as a protected niche where Helicobacter spp. organisms evade effective treatment. In dogs, non-Helicobacter pylori-helicobacters are frequently intracellular. Confocal endomicroscopy allows in vivo gastrointestinal imaging and has aided real-time identification of Helicobacter pylori and other intracellular and mucosally associated bacteria. The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the utility of confocal endomicroscopy to identify non-Helicobacter pylori-helicobacters compared with other diagnostic modalities, and (2) to assess its ability to identify intracellular organisms. Fourteen clinically healthy dogs underwent standard gastroduodenoscopy followed by confocal endomicroscopy using topical acriflavine. Confocal images were obtained from at least five gastric sites. Endoscopic biopsies were obtained for histopathology, PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). Methodologies were compared for their ability to determine the presence and spatial distribution of gastric helicobacters in dogs. Confocal endomicroscopy provided high quality images allowing in vivo identification of non-Helicobacter pylori-helicobacters in 13 dogs. Histopathology identified helicobacters in 11 dogs. Organisms were identified within the superficial gastric mucus and within gastric pits, and distribution throughout the stomach was diffuse and multi-focal. Confocal endomicroscopy findings correlated with PCR and FISH post-procedure analysis. Only FISH identified intracellular organisms, which were present in 13/14 dogs. Confocal endomicroscopy provided in vivo histology images and was capable of identifying non-Helicobacter pylori-helicobacters during gastroscopy, but was unable to identify intracellular organisms using the current fluorophore protocol
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
Who's afraid of distance learning?
No full textL'uso dei corsi online, nell'ambito dell'apprendimento delle lingue a distanza, e' destinato a diventare sempre di piu' la norma nei centri linguistici universitari. La paura dell'ignoto comunque rimane, da parte sia degli apprendenti che temono di non essere "seguiti", sia dei tutor, che temono di perdere il proprio ruolo fino a diventare addirritura superflui. Questo paper tratta sopratutto gli aspetti positivi dell'insegnamento a distanza ed il ruolo nuovo del tutor sottolineando che il sucesso di questo tipo di insegnamento a distanza dipende da un'interazione di mutuo sostegno fra istituzione, tutor ed apprendente
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
