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
Decision making in orthopaedic trauma/ [edited by] Meir Marmor, MD, Orthopaedic Trauma Institute, University of California San Francisco Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, San Francisco, California.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.Few if any medical fields share the complexity of injuries and the number of available treatments that exist in orthopaedic trauma. Deciding on the most efficacious treatment can often be difficult. In this digital age with a tsunami of medical information and conflicting data on numerous approaches, practitioners who treat orthopaedic trauma often find it problematic to make ""evidence-based"" choices. Decision Making in Orthopaedic Trauma is the largest compendium of orthopaedic trauma algorithms assembled to date. The decision trees cover a broad spectrum of cases - from simple isolated fra.Decision Making in Orthopaedic Trauma; Title Page; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Contributors; Chapter 1: Compartment Syndrome (CS); Chapter 2: Open Fracture Management; Chapter 3: Ballistic Injuries; Chapter 4: Vascular Injuries; Chapter 5: Traumatic Nerve Injury; Chapter 6: Mangled Extremity; Chapter 7: Polytrauma Patient; Chapter 8: Acute Pain Management; Chapter 9: Chronic Pain Management; Chapter 10: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention; Chapter 11: VTE Prevention for Patients on Anticoagulation; Chapter 12: Embolic Disease Management.Chapter 13: Heterotopic Ossifi cation (HO)Chapter 14: Regional Anesthesia in Orthopaedic Surgery; Chapter 15: Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Instability; Chapter 16: Acromioclavicular Separation; Chapter 17: Sternoclavicular Dislocation (SCD); Chapter 18: Clavicle Fractures; Chapter 19: Scapulothoracic Dissociation (STD); Chapter 20: Scapula Fractures; Chapter 21: Proximal Humerus Fractures; Chapter 22: Humeral Shaft Fractures; Chapter 23: Distal Humerus Fractures; Chapter 24: Elbow Dislocation/Terrible Triad Injury; Chapter 25: Radial Head Fractures; Chapter 26: Capitellum Fractures.Chapter 27: Olecranon FracturesChapter 28: Forearm Fractures; Chapter 29: Distal Radius Fractures; Chapter 30: Scaphoid Fractures; Chapter 31: Perilunate Dislocation; Chapter 32: Extensor Tendon Lacerations; Chapter 33: Flexor Tendon Injuries; Chapter 34: Finger Replantation; Chapter 35: Finger Fractures; Chapter 36: Metacarpal Fractures; Chapter 37: Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) Dislocations; Chapter 38: Phalanx Dislocations; Chapter 39: Femoral Shaft Fractures; Chapter 40: Distal Femur Fractures; Chapter 41: Traumatic Knee Dislocation; Chapter 42: Patella Fractures.Chapter 43: Tibial Plateau FracturesChapter 44: Tibial Shaft Fractures; Chapter 45: Tibial Plafond (Pilon) Fractures; Chapter 46: Ankle Fractures; Chapter 47: Talus Fractures; Chapter 48: Calcaneus Fractures; Chapter 49: Lisfranc Fractures; Chapter 50: Navicular Fractures; Chapter 51: Metatarsal (MT) Fractures; Chapter 52: Toe Fractures; Chapter 53: Pelvic Ring Fractures; Chapter 54: Acetabulum Fractures; Chapter 55: Hip Dislocations; Chapter 56: Femoral Head Fractures; Chapter 57: Femoral Intertrochanteric Fractures; Chapter 58: Femoral Neck Fractures.Chapter 59: Femoral Subtrochanteric FracturesChapter 60: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI); Chapter 61: Adult C-Spine Clearance after Blunt Trauma; Chapter 62: Occipitocervical Dissociations (OCD); Chapter 63: Atlas (C1) Fractures and Transverse Ligament Injuries; Chapter 64: C2 Odontoid (dens) Fractures; Chapter 65: C2 Traumatic Spondylolisthesis; Chapter 66: C3-C7 Facet Dislocations; Chapter 67: C3-C7 Lateral Mass Fractures; Chapter 68: Geriatric Vertebral Compression Fracture (VCF); Chapter 69: Thoracolumbar Injuries; Chapter 70: Bisphosphonate Femur Fractures.1 online resource
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
