Interview with Neal A. Vanselow
No full textNeal Vanselow was born March 18, 1932 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science in 1954 and his M.D. in 1958, both at the University of Michigan. Dr. Vanselow completed his internship at Minneapolis General Hospital (now Hennepin County Medical Center) and returned to the University of Michigan for his residency and a fellowship in immunology and allergy. He completed a master’s in Internal Medicine in 1963. He then became a faculty member in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School and became chairman of Post Graduate Medicine. From 1974 to 1977, Dr. Vanselow served as dean of the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson. Dr. Vanselow then became chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha in 1977. From 1982 to 1989, he served as vice president of the Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Vanselow was named chancellor of Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans in 1989. He also served in leadership positions on the Association of Academic Health Centers, the Council of Graduate Medical Education, and the Association of Graduate Medical Colleges.Dr. Neal Vanselow begins his interview by reflecting on his education and training at the University of Michigan and his internship at Minneapolis General Hospital (now Hennepin County Medical Center). He then discusses his tenure as dean at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and his move to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. He relates the reasons for his move to the University of Minnesota Academic Health Center (AHC). Concerning the University’s AHC, Dr. Vanselow describes all of the following: the culture of the AHC particularly town/gown relationships; the relationship between the AHC and the rest of the University; the relationship between the AHC and Central Administration; relations among units in the health sciences; the incorporation of the College of Veterinary Medicine into the AHC; and Ken Keller’s Commitment to Focus and the threatened closure of the Dental School and the College of Veterinary Medicine. Reflecting on larger trends in healthcare and health education, he discusses: efforts to admit more minority students; issues regarding the rising costs of hospital care and the impact on University Hospital; faculty practice; retrenchments; the creation of the Biomedical Ethics Center; and the issues surrounding the University’s production and sale of Antilymphocyte Globulin (ALG). Dr. Vanselow also describes the tenures of the presidents of the University and the regents with which he worked; his work with the Legislature; the differences between a private and public academic health center; and his time on the board of the Association of Academic Health Centers. He concludes his interview with a reflection on his experiences as part of the Institute of Medicine’s Committee on the Future of Primary Care and the Continuing Evaluation Panel of the American International Health Alliance.Tobbell, Dominique A.; Vanselow, Neal A..

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
