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
Nursing activities in the era of direct acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis c virus infection
No full textHepatitis C vodeći je uzrok morbiditeta i smrtnosti povezanih s bolestima jetre u svijetu. Hepatotropni je virus pa se glavnina njegova umnažanja zbiva u hepatocitu. Inkubacija virusa iznosi prosječno 6-7 tjedana, a spektar kliničkih manifestacija koje se mogu dijagnosticirati variraju od asimptomatskog povišenja aminotransferaza, akutnog hepatitisa, fulminantnog hepatitisa, kroničnog hepatitisa, ciroza jetre sa svim njezinim komplikacijama do posljednjeg hepatocelularnog karcinom. Zbog tihog kliničkog tijeka većina bolesnika s hepatitisom C uopće ne zna da su zaraženi te ne budu na vrijeme liječeni i predstavljaju izvor zaraze za druge. Od otkrića hepatitis C virusa do danas došlo je do velikih napredaka u istraživanju genetskih značajki virusa te mehanizmu patofiziologije istog što je rezultiralo unaprjeđenjem farmakoterapije te uspješnijim ishodima liječenja i većom mogućnošću trajnog izlječenja. Godine 2014. započela je era oralne terapije te je ostvarena stopa izlječenja veća od 90 %, a vrijeme liječenja je kraće. Time se mijenjanju i aktivnosti medicinske sestre te primarna uloga više nije zdravstvena njega već komunikacija, empatija i stvaranje ugodnog ozračja za pacijenta. Medicinska sestra ima ulogu u posredovanju između pacijenta i liječnika što uključuje prikupljanje medicinske dokumentacije potrebne za odobrenje direktno djelujućeg antivirusnog lijeka. Osim toga, medicinska sestra educira pacijenta o bolesti te načinu prijenosa iste, kako da zaštiti sebe i druge od potencijalnog prijenosa infekcije. Objašnjava mu kakav je protokol prije samog odobrenja direktno djelujućeg antivirusnog lijeka te početka uzimanja terapije, koje dijagnostičke pretrage je potrebno napraviti te mu pomaže da prikupi potrebne nalaze za slanje zahtjeva bolničkom povjerenstvu koje će odobriti liječenje. Podupire ga i nadzire tijekom cijelog procesa liječenja, a sve sa ciljem da liječenje osobe koja boluje od kroničnog HCV-a i prolazi teško životno razdoblje prođe što lakše.Hepatitis C is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality associated with liver disease in the world. It is a hepatotropic virus, so the majority of its multiplication occurs in the hepatocyte. Incubation of the virus averages 6-7 weeks, and the range of clinical manifestations that can be diagnosed varies from asymptomatic elevations of aminotransferases, acute hepatitis, fulminant hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver with all its complications to recent hepatocellular carcinoma. Due to the quiet clinical course, most patients with hepatitis C do not even know they are infected and are not treated in time and are a source of infection for others. Since the discovery of the hepatitis C virus until today, great progress has been made in researching the genetic characteristics of the virus and its mechanism of pathophysiology, which has resulted in improved pharmacotherapy and more successful treatment outcomes and greater possibility of permanent cure. In 2014, the era of oral therapy began and the cure rate was higher than 90%, and the treatment time was shorter. This changes the activities of the nurse and the primary role is no longer health care but communication, empathy and creating a pleasant atmosphere for the patient. The nurse has a role in mediating between the patient and the physician which involves gathering the medical documentation required for the approval of a directly acting antiviral drug. In addition, the nurse educates the patient about the disease and how to transmit it, how to protect themselves and others from the potential transmission of the infection. It explains to him what the protocol is before the approval of a direct-acting antiviral drug and the start of therapy, what diagnostic tests need to be done and helps him gather the necessary findings to send a request to the hospital committee that will approve treatment. It is supported and monitored throughout the treatment process, all with the aim of making the treatment of a person suffering from chronic HCV and going through a difficult period of life as easy as possible

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
