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
Mad@Work during the year 2021: ESS | P. PORTO contribution
No full textOur work life is changing rapidly. Globalization is ramping up competition, and digitalization is
transforming all but the simplest manual labor into knowledge work. These changes don’t come without a
price – and it seems that the price is paid in an increase of stress and burnout. The cost of work-related stress
in Europe was estimated to be around 200 billion annually and, in the USA, job stress alone is estimated to
cost companies approximately 300 billion dollars a year. To face the high costs, the key to success requires
tackling the work stress-related issues, first, in an individual level.
This project aims to develop novel stress detection solutions for workplaces, which will help to manage
and reduce stress in the work context and build safe, positive, and productive work environments. Existing
technologies for stress detection have been developed in relatively short-term studies and are not practical
and/or mature enough for continuous, real-life usage.
To overcome these shortcomings, we will develop novel solutions to detect workplace problems and stress,
convenient for long-term real-life use. Pilots in real workplaces will be conducted to achieve project goals
and to evaluate developed solutions. Ultimately, our goal is to support and mitigate ongoing transformation,
helping individuals flourish and companies thrive, paving the way for healthier workplaces where people
throw up their arms, not in frustration or anger but inspiration and excitement.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
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
"O que a traz por cá D. Maria?": Experiência-piloto de pacientes simulados numa parceria ESMAE-ESS
No full textSimular diferentes aspetos da prática clínica, é uma ferramenta disponível para o treino pré-graduado de profissionais de saúde. Apresenta níveis de complexidade e que vão do treino de habilidades em aula, até à consulta com pacientes simulados e padronizados. O propósito do presente estudo foi avaliar as perceções dos estudantes de fisioterapia acerca do desempenho dos estudantes de teatro como pacientes simulados numa experiência-piloto de colaboração entre a ESMAE-P. PORTO e a ESS-P. PORTO. Setenta e nove estudantes do primeiro da licenciatura em Fisioterapia avaliaram o desempenho de 7 atores na simulação de 7 casos clínicos. A avaliação foi realizada através de um questionário online, constituído por 8 perguntas em formato de escala de Likert de quatro níveis variando de 1- discordo completamente até 7- concordo completamente. Foram usados os valores médios de grau de concordância de cada questão. Os estudantes de Fisioterapia consideraram que os atores: representaram de forma verosímil/credível (média 3,4 ±0,88); que a informação que deram era consistente com a condição de saúde que estavam a simular (3,6±0,87); que deram a informação com exatidão, sendo aparente o domínio da mesma (3,1±76); que deram informação que não tinha sido pedida (2,2±0,84); que pareciam inseguros/hesitantes (1,7±0,81); que a linguagem não-verbal dos atores era consistente (3,1±0,77); que usavam termos e expressões consistentes com as personagens que estavam a representar (3,4±0,64) e que; parecia que estavam a representar (2,2±0,91). O intervalo de confiança foi de 95%. Os estudantes de fisioterapia consideraram o desempenho dos atores positivo em todos os aspetos identificados como relevantes pelos autores.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
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
