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
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

Using Participatory Design to Develop Ethical DataSheets for the Research and Design of Ambient Assistive Living Technologies
No full textBy 2030, the Government of Canada predicts that over 9.5 million (23%) Canadians will be 65 years of age or older. For this growing demographic of older adults, intelligent home health technologies have been proposed as one beneficial avenue to support and maintain health and wellness as they begin experiencing ageing-related health effects. However, many ethical concerns have been raised regarding the design and deployment of these technologies in ageing-in-place settings such as long-term care and nursing homes.
This thesis aims to better understand the ethical concerns that long-term care stakeholders have with a subset of intelligent home health technologies known as Ambient Assistive Living (AAL) technology.
To obtain this understanding, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to gather the different ethical concerns that long-term care stakeholders have with AAL technology and to observe the various ethical design and engineering frameworks used to develop AAL technology for aging-in-place settings. 41 publications were analyzed to identify various ethical concerns held by ageing-in-place stakeholders and the different ethical design and engineering frameworks used to address these concerns. The findings from the SLR identified 17 ethical concerns that influenced how the research was conducted with long-term care facility stakeholders.
Following the SLR, a Participatory Design methodology in the form of workshops and interviews was developed and implemented with 30 long-term care facility stakeholders to understand their ethical concerns with two AAL devices: the Hexoskin ProShirtTM - a wearable device used to monitor and collect vital signs, and the AWS DeepLensTM camera - a machine-learning enabled video camera used to make predictions. Through data analysis, 35 topics were identified and grouped into 12 main ethical concerns for both devices.
Once a better understanding of long-term care stakeholders' ethical concerns with the two devices was gained, a prototype of an ethical design tool - the Ethical DataSheet - was proposed. An Ethical DataSheet is meant to support researchers, engineers, designers, and others in developing a better understanding of the ethical concerns they must consider when designing and developing AAL technology for ageing-in-place applications.
To create the Ethical DataSheet prototype, a snowball sampling literature review was conducted. By conducting the second literature review, inspiration from different ethical design tools was used to develop the prototype. The Ethical DataSheet prototype was then used to create Ethical DataSheets for the Hexoskin ProShirt™ and AWS DeepLens™, which present the top ethical concerns that were identified through the workshops and interviews with long-term care facility stakeholders.
The findings of this research will be shared with the PATH research community, who are dedicated to providing nationwide testing and services for home health technologies that will accelerate the availability of appropriate smart systems (i.e. AAL technologies) for seniors' and patients' home healthcare
