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
Patients with mental illness experiences ' of being cared for in somatic and psychiatric care : A literature review
No full textBakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa innefattar allt från avsaknad av välbefinnande till påvisande av psykiatriska tillstånd och suicidalitet. Psykisk ohälsa kan drabba alla personer och alla patientgrupper. Vanligt förekommande för den allmänutbildade sjuksköterskan är därför att vårda patienter med psykisk ohälsa. Psykisk ohälsa har ökat i samhället och kan vara mycket kostsamt ekonomiskt och emotionellt för individen och samhället. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av att vårdas inom somatisk och psykiatrisk vård vid psykisk ohälsa. Metod: En litteraturöversikt genomfördes med hjälp av tio vetenskapliga artiklar varav sju kvalitativa, två kvantitativa och en artikel med mixad metod. Databaserna PubMed och PsycInfo användes vid datainsamling. Dataanalys genomfördes enligt Fribergs fyra analyssteg. Resultat: Utifrån dataanalysen framkom följande tre teman: Delaktighet eller inte delaktighet, Att känna sig stigmatiserad och Vikten av en terapeutisk relation. Resultatet pekade på att patienter värdesätter en vårdande relation vid vård i samband med sin psykiska ohälsa. Det framkom även att patienter stundtals kände sig förbisedda, inte delaktiga och negativa attityder från sjukvårdspersonal. Vidare framkom det att patienter kände sig delaktiga när de blev sedda som medmänniskor, blev korrekt informerade samt blev lyssnade till av vårdpersonal. Slutsats: Patienter värdesätter en fungerande vårdrelation. När kommunikation, lyhördhet och förståelse är i fokus resulterar i en god erfarenhet av vården. Aspekter angivna som negativa för uppfattningen av vården var brist på tillit, kommunikation och avsaknad av en fungerande vårdrelation. Stundtals kände sig patienterna stigmatiserade, förbisedda och mötta av negativt laddade personliga åsikter från vårdpersonalen. Background: Mental illness includes everything from lack of well-being to prove of psychiatric conditions, and suicidality. Mental illness can affect all people and all patient groups. Therefor it is common for the general nurse to care for patients with mental illness. Mental illness has increased in society and can be financially and emotionally be very costly for the individual and for society. Aim: The aim was to describe patients with mental illness experiences' of being cared for in somatic and psychiatric care. Method: A literature review of ten scientific articles was conducted, of which seven were qualitative, two quantitative, and one mixed method. The databases used for data collection were PubMed and PsycInfo. The results were analysed according to Friberg´s four step analysis method. Results: Based on the data analysis, the following three themes emerged: Participation or non-participation, Feeling stigmatized, and The importance of a therapeutic relationship. The results indicated that patients value a nurturing relationship when receiving care in connection with their mental illness. It also emerged that patients sometimes felt overlooked, not involved, and experienced negative attitudes from healthcare staff. Furthermore, it emerged that patients felt involved when they were seen as fellow human beings, were correctly informed, and were listened to by healthcare personel. Conclusions: Patients value a functioning caring relations. The participants experienced good care when communication, responsiceness and understanding are in focus. Aspects indicating as negative for the perception of care were lack of trust, communication and lack of functioning caring relations. At times, the patients felt stigmatized, overlooked and faced with negatively charged personal opinions from the healthcare staff.

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
