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
Psicoterapia Breve Analitica nelle urgenze psichiatriche: studio prospettico longitudinale d'efficacia clinica mediante il tema relazionale conflittuale centrale (CCRT)
No full textOBIETTIVI: Verificare l’efficacia della Psicoterapia Breve Analitica mediante la valutazione del Tema Relazionale Conflittuale Centrale (CCRT) di Luborsky.
METODOLOGIA: sono stati inclusi nello studio 20 pazienti consecutivi trattati con Psicoterapia Breve Analitica secondo il modello dell’Unità Urgenze Psichiatriche della Clinica Psichiatrica degli Università degli Studi di Milano (Invernizzi e Bressi, 1999). Per la valutazione del CCRT è stata somministrata ai pazienti la Relationship Anectodotes Paradigm all’inizio della terapia (T0) ed a 12 mesi dal termine della stessa (T1).
RISULTATI: La valutazione mediante “Paired Samples Test” delle componenti CCRT al T1 rispetto al T0 ha evidenziato: una diminuzione statisticamente significativa (CI 0.95; p<0.01) della pervasività delle risposte dall’Altro RO5 (Rifiutante e Contrastante) e della Risposta del Sé RS7 (Deluso e depresso); un aumento statisticamente significativo (CI 0.95; p<0.05) della pervasività delle RO7 (Gli piaccio) e della RS3 (Rispettato ed accettato). Si è notato, inoltre, un aumento significativo (CI 0.95; p<0.01) delle Risposte Positive del Sé ed un decremento significativo delle Risposte Negative del Sé (CI 0.95; p<0.01).
CONCLUSIONE: L’aumento di pervasività di cluster più adattativi sia nelle componenti RO e RS e l’aumento delle Risposte Positive del Sé sono un indice, come suggerito dalla letteratura (Luborsky et al, 1990) della stabilità del miglioramento relazionale ottenuto con il modello psicoterapico proposto
Eventi stressanti e crisi psicologica : analisi delle variabili cliniche e relazionali di pazienti in psicoterapia
No full textkoamabayili/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
