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
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
La prise en charge orthophonique de la dysoralité sensorielle de l’enfant tout-venant : critères d’évaluation de l’efficacité des massages de désensibilisation
No full textMédecineLe syndrome de dysoralité sensorielle touche de nombreux enfants dits « tout-venant », c’est-à-dire dont le développement est par ailleurs normal. Ce trouble du traitement des informations sensorielles se révèle fréquemment au moment de la diversification alimentaire et se définit le plus souvent par une hypersensibilité face aux sensations provoquées par la texture, l’odeur ou même la température de certains aliments. Les enfants hypersensibles développent des mécanismes de défense face aux stimulations qui leur sont désagréables et peuvent devenir très sélectifs sur le plan alimentaire, ce qui impacte à la fois leur santé mais aussi leur équilibre familial, à cause des tensions que leur comportement engendre lors des temps de repas. Le rapport psychique de ces enfants à la nourriture est également en jeu et risque d’être condamné par ce trouble du traitement des informations sensorielles. Pourtant, nous pensons que lorsqu’il est pris en charge de façon précoce et grâce à un protocole de massages de désensibilisation, le syndrome de dysoralité sensorielle peut disparaître au profit d’une alimentation sereine et variée. L’objectif de cette étude est de cerner les éléments qui semblent évoluer significativement au cours d’une prise en charge orthophonique visant la désensibilisation de la sphère orale, notamment grâce à l’analyse de vignettes cliniques et des réponses fournies par les parents de ces patients à un questionnaire que nous leur avons soumis. Grâce aux résultats de notre étude, nous sommes désormais en mesure de proposer à un potentiel chercheur un protocole d’évaluation de l’efficacité de ce type de rééducation.The syndrome called “dysoralité sensorielle” affects many children, whose development is otherwise perceived normal. This sensory processing disorder is often found when food diversification is introduced. It is mostly defined by hypersensitivity to sensations caused by the texture, smell or even temperature of certain foods. Hypersensitive children develop defense mechanisms against unpleasant stimulations and they can become very selective in terms of food. Those aspects seem to affect both their health and their family balance, because of the tensions that their behavior generates during meal times. The psychological relationship of these children with the food is also involved and may be condemned by this sensory processing disorder. However, we think that an early treatment with a desensitization massages protocol can replace this syndrome by a serene and varied nutrition. The objective of this study is to identify the elements that seem to evolve significantly during speech therapy desensitization of the oral sphere, particularly through the analysis of clinical cases and the answers provided by the parents of these patients to a questionnaire that we submitted to them. Thanks to the results of our study, we are now able to propose to a potential researcher a protocol to evaluate the effectiveness of this type of rehabilitation
De la main à la bouche, expérimentation de l'approche « Patouille » auprès d'enfants ayant des TSA et des troubles de l'oralité alimentaire
No full textMédecineLa toute première activité du foetus est localisée au niveau de la sphère orale. La bouche est au coeur du corps. L'enfant naît avec un premier vécu gustatif, odorant et des expériences tactiles. L'oralité se tricote autour de la sensorialité et permet, dans une dimension affective et relationnelle, les premiers liens entre soi et le monde, la rencontre et l'attachement. La bouche participe à la construction de l'individualité. Se nourrir implique fortement tous les sens et convoque l'utilisation de la main et de la bouche, deux outils de découverte interdépendants. Dans l'autisme, l'appareil perceptuel est démantelé, les sens manquent de coordination, ce qui engendre des troubles d'alimentation. Le trouble de l'investissement du corps, en particulier du toucher, ne permet pas le tissage suffisant d'une enveloppe interne. Ce mémoire est l'occasion de mettre en lumière, dès la grossesse, l'avènement du toucher. Le schème main-bouche est à la base des premières explorations sensorielles de l'enfant. Les doigts et la bouche ont les mêmes aptitudes neurosensorielles. C'est ce qui nous permet de proposer l'approche corporelle « Patouille » à des enfants autistes ayant des troubles de l'oralité alimentaire et des appréhensions à découvrir du bout des doigts. Avant de mettre en place un atelier Patouille dans un service pédopsychiatrique, j'ai d'abord observé le fonctionnement d'un atelier déjà existant dans un IEM. Par la passation du profil sensoriel de DUNN, j'ai pu faire émerger des données sur les capacités de traitement sensoriel des enfants, venant confirmer des observations cliniques. Les résultats ont montré que les enfants ont progressé dans leur rapport au toucher, ce qui représente un préalable pour tendre vers l'assouplissement de leur comportement alimentaire
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
