Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Ayurvedic Insights into Recurrent Abortions: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Get PDFRecurrent pregnancy loss affects around 15% of pregnancies globally. Ayurveda provides a comprehensive method for comprehending and treating this problem through concepts like Garbhotpatti (conception) and Garbhasrava (miscarriage). This study reviews classical Ayurvedic literature with a focus on pathophysiology, etiology, and treatment approaches. key components include Garbhadhana Yogya Ayu, Garbhasambhava Samagri, Garbhadhana Vidhi, Garbhavakranti, Shadbhavas of Garbha, Garbha Poshana and Vriddhi. Causes of recurrent abortions can stem from abnormalities at the time of conception, including factors such as age, and the essential elements of conception: Ritu, Kshetra, Ambu, and Beeja. Even after conception several Garbhoupghatkara Bhavas, alongside causes of Yoni Vyapada, Jataharini, Bandhya and the concept of Douhridaapamana, also contribute to miscarriages. Symptoms often include pain-resulting from the vitiation of Vata-and bleeding, indicative of the expulsion of Ama Garbha and the opening of Artava Vaha Srotas. Ayurvedic classics elucidate various conditions leading to abortions, drawing somehow a conceptual meaning with modern scientific understanding. The concept of Garbhasrava in these texts provides valuable insights in the management of such disorders, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to women health. Understanding these perspectives can enhance our approach to address recurrent abortions and support women through their pregnancy journeys
ROLE OF BASTI IN UDAVRTTA YONIVYAPADA W.S.R TO DYSMENORRHEA: A REVIEW
Get PDFMenstruation is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs every month in all women of reproductive age group (15-49yrs). According to Ayurveda, normal menstrual cycle is the pointer of healthy and normal reproductive organ in which intermenstrual period is one month (Candramasa=28days), duration of menstrual blood flow is 5 days (differ acc. to different opinion of Acharyas) is not associated with pain or burning sensation, menstrual blood is not unctuous, not very scanty nor excessive in amount. Dysmenorrhoea is one of the common symptoms found in abnormal menstruation. Dysmenorrhoea means painful menstruation, it is a burning health problem now especially in post pubescent women in the age group of 18-25 years with ovulatory cycles due to today’s life style. That badly affects the daily routine activities and quality of life. Our ancient Ayurveda also describe it as Udavarta Yonivyapada, it is also found in many other disease of female as a symptom like Vatala Yonivyapada, Tridoshja Yonivyapada, Mahayoni, Vataja, Pittaja and Kaphaja Aartavadushti, Kunapagandhi Aartavadushti, Aartavakshaya, Vataja and Kaphaja Asrigdar. Modern medicine system have analgesics, antispasmodic and surgery for its treatment but all these have their own many more side effects which further gave trouble, but according to Ayurveda Basti Chikitsa has a very miraculous effect on dysmenorrhea in every reproductive age group without any further side effect. So we describe role of Basti Chikitsa in dysmenorrhea rest of the article
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
