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
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
Newly Graduated Nurses´ Experiences of Managing Emergency Situations : A literature review
No full textBakgrund Akuta situationer kan inträffa närsomhelst och behöver identifieras och hanteras snabbt. I akuta situationer krävs kompetens, ledaregenskaper och ett kritiskt tänkande som nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor inte besitter. Syfte Syftet med examensarbetet var att beskriva nyexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att hantera akuta situationer. Metod En strukturerad litteraturstudie med utforskande design genomfördes för detta examensarbete. Databaserna PubMed och CINAHL användes för att inkludera forskning från de senaste 10 åren. Analysen genomfördes i enlighet med Fribergs modell. Resultat I resultatet redovisas nyexaminerade sjuksköterskors överväldigande utmaningar med känslor av otillräcklighet och svårigheter för att hantera akuta situationer. Vikten av kompetens och goda förutsättningar som innefattar känslor av bristande erfarenhet, modet att utmana sig själv samt upplevelser av brister inom organisationens struktur. Vidare presenteras betydelse av stöd och vidareutveckling för att stärka nyexaminerade sjuksköterskors förmåga att hantera akuta situationer. Slutsats Resultatet visar att nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor inte upplever sig ha den kliniska kompetensen som krävs för att hantera akuta situationer, vilket kan ge dem känslor av otillräcklighet, rädsla och ångest. Erfarenhet och stöd vid akuta situationer är enligt nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor de viktigaste faktorerna för att utveckla sitt kliniska resonemang och självförtroende i yrkeslivet. Background Emergencies can occur at any time and need to be identified and managed quickly. Emergency situations require skills, leadership, and critical thinking, which newly graduated nurses have yet to develop. Aim The aim of this degree project was to describe the experiences of newly graduated nurses in managing emergency situations. Method A structured literature review with exploratory design was conducted for this thesis. The databases PubMed and CINAHL were used to include research from the last 10 years. The analysis was conducted in accordance with Friberg's model. Results The results report the overwhelming challenges of newly graduated nurses with feelings of inadequacy and experiencing difficulties in emergency situations. The importance of competence and right conditions that include feelings of lack of experience, the courage to challenge oneself and experiences of deficiencies within the organizational structure. Furthermore, the importance of support and further development to strengthen the abilityof newly graduated nurses to handle acute situations is presented. Conclusions The results show that newly graduated nurses do not perceive themselves as having the clinical competence required to deal with emergency situations, which can leave them with feelings of inadequacy, fear and anxiety. According to nurses, experience and support in emergency situations are the most important factors for developing their clinical reasoning and confidence in professional life
