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
Сравнительная оценка применения угрозометрических шкал при прогнозировании риска межгоспитальной эвакуации новорожденных
No full textBACKGROUND: The safety of interhospital transfer of newborns remains one of the most important issues of emergency neonatology. Assessment of risks associated with transfer is the basic concern of pre-transport preparation.
AIM: This study aimed to assess and compare the predictive value of the KSCHONN, National Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (NTISS), and TRIPS scales in predicting the risks associated with the interhospital transfer of newborns.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cohort study included data from 604 visits of the transport team. The KSHONN, NTISS, and TRIPS scales were used in the assessments, the therapeutic actions of the transport team during transfer were evaluated, and mortality during the first day after assessments was analyzed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC ROC) was calculated for the KSCHONN, NTISS, and TRIPS scales in relation to the therapeutic actions of the transport team and first-day mortality.
RESULTS: The predictive values of the KSHONN and TRIPS scales for additional infusion reflected AUC ROC values of 0.877 (0.4361.317) and AUC ROC 0.889 (0.4681.311), respectively. The AUC ROC value for predicting catecholamine dose adjustment or appointment and correction of ventilation for all three scales was less than 0.8. The predictive value of all three scales in the prediction of death on the day after the assessment of the transport team is high, and the TRIPS scale had the highest AUC ROC [0.988 (0.9770.999)], which was significantly higher than that for the NTISS scale 0.875 (0.7900.959) (p = 0.004). The KSHONN scale demonstrated a better predictive value for daily mortality [0.984 (0.8611.003)] in comparison with NTISS (p = 0.001). The risk ratio of the daily mortality in the group of patients with an assessment of 94 points according to KSHONN in comparison with patients with an assessment of 68 points was 17.73 (0.88355.8).
CONCLUSIONS: The evaluated scales predict patient death within a day after the assessment of the transport team with good accuracy, and the KSHONN and TRIPS scales predict the need for additional infusion during transfer. However, none of the scales predict other actions of the team associated with the deterioration of the patients condition during transfer with the required accuracy.Актуальность. Обеспечение безопасности межгоспитальной эвакуации новорожденных остается одной из важнейших задач неотложной неонатологии. Оценка рисков, связанных с медицинской эвакуацией, является базовой задачей предтранспортной подготовки.
Цель определить и сравнить предиктивную ценность шкал КШОНН (Клиническая шкала оценки недоношенных новорожденных), NTISS (Neonatal Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System неонатальная шкала эффективности лечения) и TRIPS (Transport Risk Index of Physiologic Stability транспортный индекс риска физиологической стабильности) в отношении прогнозирования рисков, связанных с осуществлением межгоспитальной эвакуации новорожденных.
Материалы и методы. В когортное исследование включены данные 604 выездов транспортной бригады реанимационно-консультативного центра. Выполнена оценка по шкалам КШОНН, NTISS и TRIPS, изучены терапевтические действия транспортной бригады во время эвакуации и досуточная летальность пациентов. Осуществлен расчет площади под ROC-кривой (AUC ROC) для данных шкал в отношении терапевтических действий транспортной бригады и досуточной летальности у оцениваемых пациентов.
Результаты. Предиктивная ценность шкал КШОНН и TRIPS в отношении выполнения дополнительной волемической нагрузки составляет AUC ROC 0,877 (0,4361,317) и AUC ROC 0,889 (0,4681,311) соответственно. Значение AUC ROC при прогнозировании коррекции дозы катехоламинов или их назначения, коррекции параметров искусственной вентиляции легких для всех трех шкал составляет менее 0,8. Предиктивная ценность всех трех шкал в отношении летального исхода в течение суток после осмотра транспортной бригадой высока: наибольшей AUC ROC обладает шкала TRIPS [0,988 (0,9770,999)], что достоверно выше AUC ROC для шкалы NTISS 0,875 (0,7900,959), р = 0,004. Шкала КШОНН обладает лучшей предиктивной ценностью в отношении досуточной летальности [0,984 (0,8611,003)] в сравнении с NTISS, р = 0,001. Отношение риска досуточной летальности в группе пациентов с оценкой 914 баллов по КШОНН в сравнении с пациентами с оценкой 68 баллов составляет 17,73 (0,88355,8).
Заключение. Исследуемые угрозометрические шкалы с хорошей точностью прогнозируют летальный исход в течение суток после осмотра транспортной бригадой, шкалы КШОНН и TRIPS прогнозируют потребность в дополнительной волемической нагрузке во время транспортировки. Однако прочие действия бригады, связанные с ухудшением состояния пациента в дороге, ни одна из угрозометрических шкал не прогнозирует с требуемой точностью
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

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.
