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
Die diffusionsgewichtete Magnetresonanztomographie in der Diagnostik retinaler Ischämien und ischämischer Optikusneuropathien
Get PDFDie vorliegende Habilitationsschrift umfasst Arbeiten zur Anwendung der diffusionsgewichteten Magnetresonanztomographie im Bereich vaskulärer neuroophthalmologischer Erkrankungen. Sie thematisiert die systematischen Erstbeschreibungen retinaler Diffusionsrestriktionen im Rahmen des Zentralarterienverschlusses und Zentralarterienastverschlusses als Korrelate von Ischämien der Netzhaut. Darüber hinaus wird der diagnostische Nutzen der diffusionsgewichteten Magnetresonanztomographie in der Diagnostik arteriitischer ischämischer Optikusneuropathien im Rahmen der Riesenzellarteriitis behandelt
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
Neurosonologische Diagnostik in der Akutphase des Schlaganfalls ist Merkmal einer qualifizierten Versorgung
No full textZusammenfassungDie Untersuchung der hirnversorgenden Arterien mittels Doppler- und Duplexsonografie war bislang fester Bestandteil des bewährten Stroke-Unit-Konzepts. Dies hat sich mit der Neufassung der Schlaganfall-OPS geändert: neurosonografische Untersuchungen während der Stroke-Unit-Behandlung sind im Falle der Durchführung einer CT- bzw. MR-Angiografie nicht mehr gefordert. Nach Eintritt eines ischämischen Schlaganfalls laufen im betroffenen Gefäßsegment und den dazugehörigen Kollateralwegen komplexe, individuell unterschiedliche, hämodynamische Umstellungsprozesse ab, die für das Schicksal des Patienten entscheidend sind. Verschlüsse können persistieren, partiell oder komplett rekanalisieren, kollateral kompensiert werden oder nach Rekanalisation wieder re-okkludieren. Diese Prozesse in den ersten Stunden können mittels Ultraschall wie mit keiner anderen Methode verfolgt werden. Je früher die Untersuchung erfolgt, desto aufschlussreicher sind die Befunde, desto besser ist das pathophysiologische Verständnis und desto größer ist der individuelle Nutzen für therapeutische Entscheidungen. Vielfach werden CTA, MRA und Ultraschall in der Schlaganfallversorgung als kompetitive Methoden begriffen. In Wahrheit handelt es sich aber um komplementäre Verfahren, mit denen auf der Basis von sehr unterschiedlichen physikalischen Prinzipien Bilder erzeugt und Blutgefäße, Hirnperfusion und Blutflüsse dargestellt werden. Mit Blick auf eine spezielle klinische Fragestellung ist jeweils das eine oder andere Verfahren indiziert. Es obliegt dem klinisch verantwortlichen Neurologen hier die richtige Auswahl zu treffen und spezifische neurosonologische Kompetenz einzubringen. Ziel dieser Übersichtsarbeit ist es, Neurologinnen und Neurologen dazu zu motivieren, Neurosonologie speziell in der Akutphase des Schlaganfalls einzusetzen um sich selbst ein Bild zu machen, anstatt sich „ein Bild machen zu lassen“.</jats:p
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
