    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Kanker payudara  (KPD)  merupakan  jenis  kanker  yang  paling  sering  ditemukan  pada wanita usia pertengahan. Selain penderitaan fisik dan fungsional, wanita dengan KPD sering mengalami  gangguan atau   penurunan  kualitas  hidup. Penurunan   kualitas  hidup  tersebut dapat dinilai  dengan  menentukan Health  Related  Quality  of  Life  (HRQOL)yang mengutamakan penilain tentang  kesehatan  fisik,  status  psikologi,  hubungan  sosial,  tingkat kemandirian  dan  spiritual. Tujuan penelitian  untuk mengetahui  potensi  yang  hilang berdasarkan Health  Related  Quality  of  Life  (HQROL) pada  penderita  kanker  payudara   di Kota Makassar. Metode penelitian ini merupakan survey analitik secara studi potong lintang (cross  sectional  study) dengan  melakukan  eksplorasi pada  30  kasus  Kanker  Payudara berdasarkan Health Related Quality of Life (HQROL)di Kota Makassar. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan sebagian  besar  (66.7%) mengalami  gangguan melakukan  aktivitas  harian, namun  hanya  sebagian  kecil  (33%)  yang  meninggalkan  pekerjaannya. Sebagian  besar (66.7%)  penderita masih  dapat  melakukan  kegiatan  olah  raga  ringan. Kebanyak  responden merasakan  nyeri yakni sebanyak  22  orang  (73.33%) dan  sebanyak 16  orang  (53.33%) meninggalkan  pekerjaan  karena  rasa  nyeri. Responden yang  memiliki  rasa tidak  nyaman sebanyak 18 orang (60%) dan sebagian besar responden meninggalkan pekerjaan disebabkan adanya  rasa  tidak  nyaman  sebanyak  22  orang  (73.33%). Sebanyak   60%  sampai 86.67% mengalami  gangguan  kesehatan  psikologis  berupa  gangguan  stress  emosional  dan meninggalkan  pekerjaan  karena  stress. Tingkat  kemandirian  pasien  KPD  cukup  tinggi, sebagian  besar  responden  yakni  22  orang  (73.33%)  tidak  membutuhkan  orang  lain  untuk merawat  diri  dan  aktivitas  gerak. Sebagian  besar  gangguan  dalam  hubungan  sosial  bagi responden  adalah  gangguan berinteraksi  dengan  masyarakat  sebanyak  18  orang  (60%). Hanya sebagian kecil responden mengalami gangguan spiritual yakni berkisar antara 13.33% -33.33%. Penilaian  berdasarkan EUQOL  yang  berhubungan  dengan mobility,  self  Care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, anxiety and depression. Sebagian besar penderita KPD (60-67%) mengalami beberapa masalah ringan/sedang, hanya sebagian kecil yakni berkisar 0-13%  mengalami  masalah  besar. Kesimpulan penelitian  adalah  sebagian  besar  penderita KPD  mengalami  potensi  yang  hilang  dalam  hal   gangguan  aktivitas  harian,  rasa  nyeri, gangguan   stress  emosional  ringan  dan sedang  (kecemasan  dan  depresi) dan  gangguan berinteraksi dengan masyarakat. Namun penderita KPD masih memiliki kemandirian dalam perawatan diri dan aktivitas gerak, serta adanya peningkatan kesadaran spiritual. Kata kunci: Potensi yang hilang, kualitas hidup (HRQOL

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
