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
Proteinuria in the prognosis of IgA nephropathy. Aucella F, Netti GS, Piemontese M, Cincione IR, Infante B, Gesualdo L.
No full textIgA Nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common lesion causing primary glomerulonephritis in the world. The main clinical predictors of progression are: elevated blood pressure, high histological score and proteinuria. Although elevated serum creatinine concentration at diagnosis, increased excretion of cytochines, age at onset, obesity and genetic factors may all influence clinical outcome, it is quite clear that proteinuria is the hallmark of renal damage in IgAN. Patients with IgAN and little or no proteinuria (3 g/day. The product of duration (years) and urinary protein excretion (g/day) at the time of renal biopsy is more significantly correlated with progression. So, this so called proteinuria index may be a useful predictor for glomerular and interstitial histopathological changes and the fate of renal function in IgAN. The progression of IgAN may be slowed by antihypertensive and antiproteinuric therapy, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and/or angiotensin II receptor blockers, that can minimize secondary glomerular injury. Proteinuria has been shown to be an adverse prognostic factor in IgAN, with a strong relationship between proteinuria and prognosis and established importance of remission. Consequently, targeting proteinuria may be a valid surrogate for individualized kidney protective therapy
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
