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
Body Perception Disturbances In Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
No full textLe Syndrome Douloureux Régional Complexe (SDRC) est une pathologie survenant après un traumatisme, caractérisé par une douleur intense et une variété de symptômes comme des troubles moteurs, de la sensibilité et des troubles de la perception du corps (TPC). Elle entraîne de fortes incapacités et une qualité de vie dégradée. Le traitement, en particulier des formes longues, est difficile. Les TPC englobent différentes dimensions de la perception comme des changements de forme de taille ou de température du membre atteint. A cela s'ajoutent des sensations de non - appartenance du membre, des émotions négatives allant jusqu'à l'envie d'amputation. Afin de caractériser ces troubles et leurs relations avec les paramètres cliniques comme la douleur, il est essentiel de les évaluer. Nous avons conduit une revue systématique afin de déterminer quels outils sont disponibles et quelles sont leurs propriétés psychométriques. L'Echelle de Bath est l’outil le plus utilisé et le plus étudié malgré des propriétés psychométriques encore incomplètes. Pas disponible en français, nous avons mené une traduction, adaptation trans-culturelle et validation. La version française de l'Echelle de Bath monte ainsi une cohérence interne adéquate ainsi qu'une excellente reproductibilité. Elle peut être utilisée pour évaluer les TPC. Les TPC semblent plus fréquents et plus importants dans le SDRC et ont été corrélés à l’intensité de la douleur et à la peur du mouvement. Les traitements visant les TPC ont montré des résultats préliminaires encourageants. Ils impliquent des thérapies visant des corrections de perceptions et stimulations, comme la thérapie miroir ou l’entraînement sensoriel. Les hypothèses reliant TPC, douleurs et présentations cliniques du SDRC sont toujours en discussion. Les perspectives cliniques sont ouvertes et possibles pour nos équipes françaises pour poursuivre ces pistes.Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a condition that occurs after trauma, characterised by intense pain and a variety of symptoms such as motor disorders, sensitivity disorders and body perception disorders (BPD). It leads to severe disability and a reduced quality of life. Treatment is difficult, particularly for chronic forms. CPT encompasses different dimensions of perception, such as changes in the shape, size or temperature of the affected limb. Added to this are sensations that the limb does not belong, and negative emotions that can even lead to the desire to amputate. In order to characterise these disorders and their relationship with clinical parameters such as pain, it is essential to assess them. We conducted a systematic review to determine which tools are available and what their psychometric properties are. The Bath Scale is the most widely used and studied tool, despite its still incomplete psychometric properties. As it was not available in French, we carried out a translation, cross-cultural adaptation. The French version of the Bath Scale thus shows adequate internal consistency and excellent reproducibility. It can be used to evaluate BPD. BPD seem to be more frequent and more important in CRPS and have been correlated with pain intensity and fear of movement. Treatments targeting CPT have shown encouraging preliminary results. They involve therapies aimed at correcting perceptions and stimuli, such as mirror therapy or sensory training. The hypotheses linking CPT, pain and the clinical presentation of CRPS are still under discussion. The clinical prospects are open and possible for our French te
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.
