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
Raffaello Fagnoni. L’architetto superartigiano, regista tecnico umanista
No full textNel 1964 Raffaello Fagnoni pubblica un piccolo volume che raccoglie il suo discorso di benvenuto alle matricole all’apertura dell’anno accademico: testimonianza della sua inquietudine, del peso ma anche della ricchezza legata alla responsabilità professionale e didattica, espressione della voce di un’epoca, o meglio, di più epoche travagliate della nostra storia. Quelle parole, rilette oggi, non lasciano percepire i 54 anni di distanza. Se alcuni passaggi palesano i riferimenti temporali, altri sono addirittura anticipatori di un futuro presente. Il titolo di questo intervento trova origine proprio nelle parole di quel volumetto. Qui infatti Raffaello parla del ruolo dell’architetto in un mondo, come lui stesso descrive ben prima di Bauman, assai fluido, in cui tutto viene rimesso in discussione. «Se un punto occorre chiarire, preliminarmente, questo è la funzione (direi meglio l’azione) dell’architetto nella società moderna, in quella di oggi e soprattutto di un prevedibile domani. Noi viviamo un’epoca di intensa, di rapida trasformazione di funzioni, di impieghi, di rapporti umani: non diremo solo che viviamo un’epoca di progresso per non cadere nell’equivoco positivista, o nella retorica; ma sappiamo di vivere in un mondo assai fluido, in cui tutto viene rimesso in discussione, in cui la problematica è sempre più vasta ed aperta». (Fagnoni, 1964, p. 6
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
Split-liver transplantation in the setting of hepatic herniationdue to a congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a down syndrome patient.
No full textTrisomy 21 (Down syndrome) is associated with several autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis, celiac disease, insulin-dependent diabetes, and congenital malformations of different anatomic districts (most of all the cardiac district).
In the literature, anecdotal cases of chronic autoimmune hepatitis and 2 individual cases of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in carriers of trisomy 21 have been described. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a relatively common anomaly with an incidence of 1 in 3000 births. Although the cause is not known, it represents the end result of 1 or more genetic defects. The association between CDH and chromosome abnormalities has been found in 10% to 34% of patients, as stated by Witters et al. and Howe et al. Here we describe a case of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) due to PSC in a Down syndrome patient who needed split-liver transplantation. A diagnosis of right CDH with intrathoracic liver migration, which was unsuspected from his medical history and clinical findings, was made with imaging techniques
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
