    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    Penilaian Reperfusi Myocardial Perfusion Contraction Grade (MPCG) dan Myocardial Blush Grade (MBG) Pasca Intervensi Koroner Perkutan Primer (IKPP) pada Penderita Infark Miokard Akut- Elevast ST Segmen

    Backgrounds : Assesment of myocardial reperfusion after primary Percutaneous Coronary lntervention (pPCI) for patients acute myocardial infarction is not only restoration of macrovascular epicardial coronary artery (TlMl Flow grade), but also could assess indirectly blood flow at microvascular level or microcirculation of myocardium (MBG). TlMl Flow grade 3 was overestimated as prognostic factor cilinical outcomes and contrast density (opacity) factor to determine the MBG grading is infl uenced by subjective interpreter. Aims : This study aimed to gain a new tool, we called it MPCG scores to asses myocardial reperfusion after pPCl in patients with STEMI. lt was hoped that MPCG has similarity or associated with MBG and has a better prognostic value to predict Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) than MBG. Methods : This was an ambispective or mix cohort study. Colleting samples began from 14 september 2004 - 13 september 2012, 121 patients fulfilled the criteria for entry study. Duration of follow up patients within 6 months - 8 years. Both MPCG and MBG grade were evaluated on angiogram afier pPCl procedure by two independent lntervention Cardiologists who were blinded to all data apart from coronary angiogram. Results : MPCG has similarity or moderate association ( reasonable relationship) with MBG ( r = 0,514, p = 0,000). Total MACE during hospitalization in intensive care and ward unit showed that the grade of MPCG was less than the grades of MBG. Multivariate analysis showed that the MPCG grade was only an independent variable prediclor of total MACE compared with those of MBG grade, TlMl Flow grade, ST-segment elevation resolution and other clinical variables. Gonclusions : MPCG has similarity or moderate association with MBG and has better prognostic value in free total MACE after pPClLatar belakang : Penilaian reperfusi miokard pasca lKPp pada penderita infark miokard akut tidak hanya restorasi aliran darah koroner epikardial- makrovaskular (TlMl flow), tapi juga dapat menilai aliran sampai ke level mikrosirkulasi-mikrovaskular (MBG). Sebagai faktor prognostik, TlMl flow grade 3 'over estimated terhadap bebas kejadian klinis kardiovaskular mayor dan faktor densitas kontras yang dipakai untuk penentuan grade pada MBG sangat dipengaruhi oleh faktor subyektivitas interpreternya. Tujuan : Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan metode baru yaitu MPCG, untuk menilai reperfusi miokard pascalKPp pada penderita IMAEST. Diharapkan MPCG mempunyai kesamaan atau asosiasi dengan MBG, tetapi mempunyai nilai prognostik yang lebih baik terhadap kejadian klinis kardiovaskular mayor (major adverse cardiovascular events-MACE) pascalKPp. Metode : Desain penelitian kohort ambispektif atau miks (retrospektif dan prospektif), pengumpulan sampel dimulai 14 September 2004 13 September 2012, berlangsung 8 tahun. Lama waktu pengamatan berlangsung 6 bulan sampai 8 tahun, dengan jumlah penderita 121 orang. Penilaian skor MPCG dan MBG grade oleh 2 interpreter lntervension Cardiologist yang independen dan tersamar dari hasil rekaman angiografi. Hasil : MPCG mempunyai kesamaan atau asosiasi moderat (reasonable'1 dengan MBG ( r= 0,514 , p = 0,000). MPCG grade mempunyai kejadian klinis kardiovaskular mayor total yang lebih kecil selama perawatan diruang rawat intensif (lCU) dan bangsal (ward) dibandingkan MBG grade.Hasil uji multivariat hanya MBG grade sebagai faktor independen terhadap kejadian klinis kardiovaskular mayor total dibandingkan MBG, TlMl, resolusi elevasi ST segmen dan variabel klinis lainnya. Kesimpulan : MPCG mempunyai kesamaan (asosiasi) dengan MBG dan memiliki nilai prognostik yang lebih baik terhadap bebas kejadian klinis kardiovaskular mayor total pascalKPp175 HalamanDisertasi Dokto
