Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Cargas de trabalho de gestores de unidades básicas de saúde
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem, Florianópolis, 2015.No Brasil, a Estratégia Saúde da Família está integrada à Política Nacional de Atenção Básica a qual aplica os preceitos da Atenção Primária à Saúde. A importância da Estratégia Saúde da Família na rede assistencial em saúde e os desafios para a sua implementação tem motivado estudos relativos à sua eficácia, eficiência e potencialidade para impulsionar mudança no campo da saúde, no sentido da universalidade de acesso e da qualidade da assistência. O trabalho desenvolvido pelos gestores da Estratégia Saúde da Família tem significativa relevância para os resultados da sua implementação, assim como a complexidade e os desafios desta atividade influenciam as cargas de trabalho de quem o executa. Neste contexto, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo geral compreender de que modo a gestão de Unidades Básicas de Saúde que atuam com a ESF influencia as cargas de trabalho de quem o realiza. O estudo teve como aportes teóricos: a teoria sociológica sobre processo de trabalho de Marx (2008) e processo de trabalho em saúde de Pires (1999); a teoria de Laurell e Noriega (1989) sobre cargas de trabalho; a teorização sobre gestão em saúde e as Políticas de Saúde na Atenção Primária, tais como a Política Nacional de Atenção Básica (2012a) e o Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (BRASIL, 2012b). A pesquisa realizada adotou uma abordagem qualitativa do tipo exploratório-descritiva, utilizando a triangulação para a coleta e análise de dados. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram observação, entrevista e análise documental. Participaram do estudo 11 gestores de 10 diferentes Unidades Básicas de Saúde da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Os aspectos éticos seguiram a Resolução nº 466/2012 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde, tendo parecer aprovado sob o nº 638.904. Os dados coletados foram organizados e categorizados com o auxílio do software Atlas.ti 7.0, e a análise dos dados foi orientada pela análise temática de conteúdo descrita por Bardin (2011), após a análise dos dados, os mesmos foram interpretados à luz do referencial teórico e da literatura. Os resultados obtidos estão apresentados na forma de dois manuscritos a serem submetidos para publicação. O primeiro intitulado  Cargas de trabalho presentes no cotidiano de gestores da Estratégia Saúde da Família demonstrou que o trabalho de gestor neste modelo envolve o atendimento cotidiano de múltiplas demandas, tanto externas quanto internas da UBS o que tem dificultado o planejamento e a organização do seu trabalho implicando em aumento das cargas de trabalho, especialmente as psíquicas. Apesar do predomínio destas, as cargas físicas, fisiológicas, biológicas, mecânicas e químicas também foram identificadas. O segundo artigo,  Fatores que contribuem para aumento e redução das cargas de trabalho de gestores da Estratégia Saúde da Família , identificou que a estrutura física e os recursos materiais, financeiros e humanos foram os fatores que mais influenciaram as cargas de trabalho, contribuindo para aumentá-las quando precários e para reduzi-las quando adequados. E que, além da influência destes fatores, a identidade com o modelo da Estratégia Saúde da Família e as boas relações de trabalho foram significativas para a redução das cargas. Conclui-se que as cargas de trabalho tem relação com características do próprio trabalho de gestão em saúde, em especial a complexidade e os múltiplos desafios que integram a própria proposta da Estratégia Saúde da Família. E ainda, que apesar da forte influência dos fatores estruturais nas cargas de trabalho, cada gestor possui um modo singular de executar o seu trabalho e de utilizar as ferramentas existentes, o que pode aumentar ou reduzir as cargas de trabalho. Educação para o trabalho e educação permanente podem auxiliar na redução das cargas de trabalho, contribuindo para a melhoria da capacidade organizacional e dos resultados do serviço.Abstract : In Brazil, the Family Health Strategy is integrated into the National Primary Care Policy that applies the principles of Primary Health Care. The importance of the Family Health Strategy in the healthcare network and the challenges to its implementation has motivated studies on its effectiveness, efficiency and potential to drive changes in the healthcare field, towards universal access and quality of care. The work undertaken by managers of Family Health Strategy has significant relevance to the results of the implementation of the Family Health Strategy and its own complexities and challenges also affect the workload of these managers. In this context, the main objective of the present research is to understand in which way the Basic Healthcare Units (BHU) management working conditions influence the managers workload. The study has drawn contribution from the following theoretical stances: the sociological theory on working process by Marx (2008) and the health working process by Pires (1999); the theory on workloads by Laurell and Noriega (1989); the theory on Healthcare Management and Health Policy in Primary Care, such as the National Primary Care Policy (2012a) and the National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care (BRASIL, 2012b). The research adopted an exploratory and descriptive qualitative approach, using triangulation for data collection and analysis. The instruments for data collection were observation, interview and document analysis. Study participants were 11 managers from 10 different BHU in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The ethical aspects followed Resolution No. 466/2012 of the National Health Council, approved reference No. 638 904. The data collected were organized and categorized using Atlas.ti 7.0 software. Data analysis was guided by content thematic analysis described by Bardin (2011). After data analysis, they were interpreted according to literature and theoretical references. The results are organized in two manuscripts to be submitted for publication. The first one "The daily workload of managers of the Family Health Strategy" showed that the manager's work in this model involves dealing with multiple demands daily, both externally and internally, in the BHU. This has hindered the planning and organization of managers' work, resulting in increased workload, especially psychological. Despite the predominance of the latter, physical, physiological, biological, mechanical and chemicals factors were also identified. The second article, "Factors that contribute to the increase and decrease of managers' workloads of the Family Health Strategy", has identified that the physical structure, as well as material, financial and human resources were the factors that most influenced managers workload, contributing to increase it when precarious, and to reduce it when appropriate. Besides the influence of these factors, the identification with Family Health Strategy model and good working relationships were significant for reducing the workload. In conclusion, managers' workload is related to characteristics of the managerial working conditions in healthcare service, especially due to its complexity and challenges that are part and parcel of the Family Health Strategy. Despite the strong influence of structural factors on manager's workload, each manager has a unique way of performing their activities using the available tools and this can increase or reduce their workload. Occupational training and continuing education can help reduce manager's workloads, contributing to enhance organizational capacity and services outcomes
