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
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

Evaluierung der Antibiotikaanwendung an der Pferdeklinik der VetMedUni Wien anhand internationaler Standards
No full textDiplomarbeit - Veterinärmedizinische Universität Wien - 2024Klinisch relevante bakterielle Infektionen sind weit verbreitet und der Einsatz von Antibiotika sollte in jedem Kontext kritisch beleuchtet werden, da mit jeder Anwendung die Resistenzbildung gefördert wird. Als Lehr- und Ausbildungsstätten haben veterinärmedizinische Universitätskliniken eine besondere Verantwortung den letzten Stand der Forschung in der klinischen Lehre zu praktizieren und die eigenen Handlungen kritisch zu hinterfragen und wenn notwendig zu verbessern. Das Ziel dieser retrospektiven Studie war es, die derzeitige Behandlung mit Antibiotika an der Pferdeklinik der Veterinärmedizinischen Universität (VetMedUni) Wien zu dokumentieren und die wichtigsten Faktoren, die die korrekte Therapie mit Antibiotika beeinflussen zu erfassen und mit international geltenden Richtlinien zu vergleichen. Die Krankengeschichten von Pferden, die vom 1.Jänner 2022 bis 12.Juli 2022 und 1.Jänner 2023 bis 2.Oktober 2023 auf der Pferdechirurgie mit Antibiotika behandelt wurden, sind in diese Studie aufgenommen worden. Faktoren während des Klinikaufenthaltes, intraoperative Faktoren, sowie Komplikationen wurden verwendet, um die korrekte Anwendung von Antibiotika zu beurteilen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zeigten, dass die Pferdeklinik der VetMedUni Wien nach international geltenden Richtlinien die Anwendung von Antibiotika optimieren kann. So ist vor allem der Einsatz von Antibiotika bei elektiven Operationen, wie einer Arthroskopie, nicht indiziert, wird aber immer noch regelmäßig praktiziert. Auch Zahnextraktionen, die zwar als kontaminierte Operationen kategorisiert werden können, jedoch nach dem aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft keine Antibiotika-Indikation haben, gehören zu den Eingriffen, bei denen zukünftig der Antibiotikaeinsatz reduziert werden kann. Zudem ist es wichtig, dass, sofern eine perioperative Indikation besteht, Antibiotika 60 Minuten vor dem Hautschnitt verabreicht werden sollten, auch hier kann auf Grund der erhobenen Daten noch eine Verbesserung der derzeitigen Praktiken stattfinden. Um das korrekte Antibiotikum wählen zu können, sollte stets eine bakteriologische Untersuchung gemacht werden, welche jedoch nur bei wenigen Patienten auf der Pferdeklinik der VetMedUni Wien erfolgt ist. Auch wenn die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigten, dass es noch einer Verbesserung in der Anwendung von Antibiotika bedarf, sind schon große Schritte in die richtige Richtung zu erkennen. So wurde zum Beispiel eine Antibiotika- Standardarbeitsanweisung für den Einsatz von antimikrobiell wirksamen Arzneimitteln von der Pferdeklinik erstellt, um Klinikerinnen und Klinikern eine Hilfestellung für eine evidenzbasierte Anwendung zu geben und den Umgang mit Antibiotika zu optimieren. Ähnliche Studien wie diese können hoffentlich in Zukunft zeigen, dass dies positive Auswirkungen auf den Antibiotikagebrauch haben.Diplomarbeit - Veterinärmedizinische Universität Wien - 2024Klinisch relevante bakterielle Infektionen sind weit verbreitet und der Einsatz von Antibiotika sollte in jedem Kontext kritisch beleuchtet werden, da mit jeder Anwendung die Resistenzbildung gefördert wird.

As academic institutions, teaching hospitals of veterinary universities have a special responsibility to adhere to current scientific guidelines in clinical teaching and to critically reflect and, if necessary, improve their own actions. The aim of this retrospective study was to document the current antibiotic administration practices at the Equine Clinic of the VetMedUni Vienna and to record the most important factors that influence the correct treatment with antibiotics and to compare them with internationally antimicrobial stewardship guidelines. The medical histories of horses treated with antibiotics at the surgical unit of the Equine Clinic from January 1st to July 12th, 2022 and January 1st to October 2nd, 2023 were included in this study. Factors during hospitalization, intraoperative factors as well as complications were used to assess whether antibiotics were administered when indicated The results of this study show that the Equine Clinic of the VetMedUni Vienna should optimize the use of antibiotics in accordance with international antimicrobial stewardship guidelines. In particular, the use of antibiotics in elective surgery, such as arthroscopy, is not indicated, but is still regularly practiced. Tooth extractions, which can be categorized as contaminated surgeries but antibiotic administration in healthy horses is currently not indicated based on latest research findings, are also among the procedures for which the use of antibiotics can be reduced in the future. Furthermore, if there is a perioperative indication for antibiotic administration, these should be administered no later than 60 minutes before the first incision. Also here, current practices can be improved based on the collected data. When there is evidence of an infection, in order to be able to choose the correct antibiotic, a bacteriological examination should be performed, but during the study period this has only been done for few patients. Although there is still room for improvement in the use of antibiotics at the VetMedUni some steps in the right direction can already be seen. For example, an antibiotic standard operating procedure for the use of antibiotics has been developed and implemented by the equine clinic to provide clinicians with guidance on evidence-based use and to optimize antibiotic handling. Hopefully, future studies will show that this and other measures result in improved antibiotic administration at the equine hospital
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.
