Autorship of a scientific work
No full textDurante a elaboração de um trabalho científico, uma das dificuldades que por ventura podem ocorrer é a escolha dos participantes da pesquisa que devem compor a sua autoria. Situação ainda mais desagradável é a ordenação dos autores, de acordo com o mérito de cada um no trabalho. OBJETIVO: Apresentar, de maneira justificada, uma proposta para a autoria do trabalho científico, mediante com a contribuição de cada membro da equipe de pesquisadores. MÉTODO: Foi realizada uma avaliação da maneira de se propor a autoria científica nos principais centros de pesquisa do Brasil e na literatura pertinente, para a aquisição de subsídios com vista à presente proposta. RESULTADOS: São apresentados em ordem de entrada os principais autores do trabalho e aqueles que devem merecer apenas agradecimento. Propõe-se uma escala numérica, com vistas à participação de cada membro da equipe, para facilitar a inclusão de cada um dos autores. CONCLUSÕES: O mérito da autoria científica deve ser restrito aos participantes que tiveram uma colaboração intelectual ao trabalho realizado, aliada a uma contribuição efetiva para a pesquisa ser realizada e concluída.BACKGROUND. During the development of a scientific research, one of the main difficulties is to choose the authors of the paper from all participants of the investigation. The organization of the authorship, based on the contribution of each investigator is still more complex. OBJECTIVE: To propose a justified indicator for the authorship of a scientific paper. METHOD:The author investigated the main research centers of Brazil in order to know their philosophy related to the authorship of a research. An assessment of the literature completed this study. RESULTS: We present and justify the order of each investigator in the authorship or acknowledgment of the paper, based on his or her participation on the investigation CONCLUSION: The investigator deserves to be included as an author of a scientific paper only if he or she has an intellectual participation in the work and also effectively contributed with the execution and accomplishment of the research
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
Diagnosis of acute appendicitis
No full textAbstractAppendicitis is the most common abdominal emergency. While the clinical diagnosis may be straightforward in patients who present with classic signs and symptoms, atypical presentations may result in diagnostic confusion and delay in treatment. Abdominal pain is the primary presenting complaint of patients with acute appendicitis. Nausea, vomiting, and anorexia occur in varying degrees. Abdominal examination reveals localised tenderness and muscular rigidity after localisation of the pain to the right iliac fossa. Laboratory data upon presentation usually reveal an elevated leukocytosis with a left shift. Measurement of C-reactive protein is most likely to be elevated. The advances in imaginology trend to diminish the false positive or negative diagnosis. Radiographic image of faecal loading image in the caecum has a sensitivity of 97% and a negative predictive value that is 98%. In experienced hands, ultrasound may have a sensitivity of 90% and specificity higher than 90%. Helical CT has reported a sensitivity that may reach 95% and specificity higher than 95%. Despite all medical advances, the diagnosis of acute appendicitis continues to be a medical challenge
Tratamento cirúrgico da hipertensão porta na esquistossomose mansoni
No full textDefine-se a hipertensão porta pela presença de um gradiente de pressão venosa hepática superior a 5mmHg. Ela é causada geralmente pelo aumento da resistência do leito vascular porta-hepático em decorrência de obstrução ao fluxo sanguíneo. Nas formas graves da esquistossomose há aumento progressivo da pressão porta e o desenvolvimento de varizes nos órgãos intra-abdominais, no retroperitônio e na parede do abdômen. A principal complicação desse processo é o sangramento digestivo, proveniente, na maioria dos casos, das varizes esofágicas e gástricas. Para o tratamento, diversos procedimentos clínicos (propranolol, somatostatina e octeotrida), endoscópicos (escleroterapia, clipes e ligaduras de varizes), vasculares (TIPS - shunt intra-hepático transjugular portasistêmico) e cirúrgicos (derivações portassistêmicas e desconexões portavarizes) têm sido propostos. Neste artigo, o autor apresenta revisão crítica sobre os vários tratamentos propostos, enfatizando os procedimentos cirúrgicos
