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
Morphogenesis of Anterior Cruciate Ligaments on Both the Knee Joints in Adult Indian Population and Its Surgical Approaches: A Patient based Study
Full text linkBackground: The strongest ligament in the knee joint, the anterior cruciate ligament aids in standing, rotational stability, and the avoidance of joint hyperextensibility. Collagen fibres connect it to the tibial and femoral insertions. Its anatomy differs depending on the race and is difficult to repair if it is ruptured. Its anatomy is essential for recognising their footprints, and this article analyses its relationship to the long bones of the lower leg to comprehend ligament reconstruction and restoration.
Obejectives : The purpose of this study is to compare the overall length of the ACLs in both knee joints and connect them with the lengths of the tibia and femur. Materials and Procedures: Observation and surgical procedures on 20 patients were observed in the study. The length of the ACL was measured using a digital calliper, and the femur and tibia were measured using a measuring tape. Result : The mean ± standard deviation of the total length of the ACL in the right and left knees is 29.42 ± 5.48 and 29.78 ± 4.07, respectively, and ranges from 19.5 - 37.1 and 22.5 - 34.7. The parametric distribution of femur length on the right and left sides is 42.97 ± 2.42, with ranges of 39 – 45.6, respectively, while the mean ± standard deviation of tibia length on both lower limb sides is 36.55 ± 1.87, with ranges of 34 – 37.8, respectively. All of the parametric distributions show a positive connection at the p<0.05 level of significance. In conclusion, the current study gives orthopedic surgeons the information they need to undertake surgery and grafting
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
Morphogenesis of Anterior Cruciate Ligaments on Both the Knee Joints in Adult Indian Population and Its Surgical Approaches
Full text linkBackground: The femur and tibia are firmly attached to the band-like Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) by collagen fibres. Because they are contained within their own synovial sheath, they are regarded as extra-capsular. The ACL stabilises the knee joint and serves as a passive constraint for the tibia with respect to the femur. PCL serves as the main barrier against posterior tibial translation and is regarded as an active and primary stabiliser of the knee joint. Because of their attachment, which will be helpful in surgical approaches, anatomical knowledge is required. This article reviews the knowledge of ligament restoration and reconstruction.
Aim : The objective is to investigate the relationship between the overall length of the right knee joint\u27s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
Materials and Procedures: The cross-sectional study was carried out on MDBASMC, Deoria. Twenty patients were used in the investigation, and a digital caliper was used to assess the lengths of the ACL and PCL. The outcome of the right knee\u27s ACL and PCL measured 29.51 ± 38.9. Using SPSS, the p-value was determined to be p=0.0011. The parametric distributions of both ligaments showed a positive association, as indicated by the Pearson\u27s correlation (r) value of 0.2098.
Conclusion : The restoration and grafting of ligaments in any kind of avulsion require accurate understanding, which will help orthopaedic surgeons guide their patients towards correct ligament restoration
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
