    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    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

    VALIDATION AND ASSESSMENT OF STABILITY INDICATING RP-HPLC METHOD FOR SALBUTAMOL SULFATE IN INHALATIONAL SOLUTION

    RP-HPLC SIAM was developed and validated for the assessment of salbutamol sulfate in inhalational solution on an adopted compendial method. The method was tested for its feasibility and specificity to separate the principal component, related substances and impurities from the prepared in-house formulation undergoing stability studies. The studies elaborate feasibility testing of adopted method optimization of forced degradation studies toachieve 10-30% degradation of API as such and in formulation. The API and formulation were exposed to stressful condition for 7 days and they were analyzed using a waters symmetry C (150mm X 3.9mm, 5μm) column at 25°C on a flow rate of 1.0mL/min for over 50 minutes. The mobile phase was prepared by mixing 220 mL acetonitrile and 780 mL phosphate buffer (pH 3.65). Detection wavelength used was 220nm. The optimized method was validated as per the ICH guidelines(Q2A)

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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

    AN OVERVIEW OF NATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR INTEGRATION OF SDGS IN PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR

    Full text link
    Integration and implementation of the Sustainable development Goals by UN is important of  achieve the goal by 2030.  The defined 17 SDGs delivers the goals, targets and plan to  execute and achieve the substantial plan that are the key measures of growth of any country.  Importantly, for implementing the goals the budget and national policies are the prosecutors.  The drafting of the national strategies and successful implementation to achieve the agenda  “no one should leave behind” is most crucial one under national government. Looking at the  various perspective, the current review highlights the various national strategies under Indian  government for integration of UNSDG under pharma sectors. The review will talk in details  about the key points and consideration while implementing the policies in national  framework, various government policies designed by NITI AAYOG and current schemes  implemented by Indian government. The review will also provide the consolidated data of  various registration under various schemes.  In conclusion, the review will provide the  detailed overview of various national strategies for implementing the SDGs under Indian  pharma and health sectors.
