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
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
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
Nouveau Management Public Pour Améliorer La Qualité Dans Le Milieu Hospitalier : Cas Du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Joseph Raseta Befelatanana
No full textRÉSUMÉDans le but de parvenir à la qualité ascendante des services sanitaires, et tirant des leçons des pratiques, plusieurs approches ont été développées à Madagascar pour améliorer la performance et la qualité des services de santé. Toutefois, ces services ne satisfont pas aux besoins des populations cibles vu les problèmes de gestion qu’ils doivent surmonter durant l’accomplissement de leur mission. Dans ce sens cette étude a pour but d’étudier l’amélioration de la qualité des services du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Joseph Raseta Befelatànana, par le biais du Nouveau Management Public. Pour traiter ce thème, une hypothèse a été émise portant sur « La réussite de la démarche qualité dépend du choix des approches adoptées».Cette étude sera conduite suivant la méthode hypothético-déductive. Les résultats des tests statistiques ont permis de mettre en exergue la corrélation positive et significative entre les deux variables étudiées : « Réussite de la démarche Qualité » et « Outils mis en œuvre ». En effet, la valeur de p-value est de 0,0003, inférieure au seuil fixé de 5%, signifie que l’hypothèse nulle d’indépendance des deux variables est refusée. L’hypothèse est donc confirmée : « La réussite de la démarche Qualité dépend du choix des approches adoptées ». ABSTRACT In order to achieve the ascending quality of health services, and drawing lessons from practices, several approaches have been developed in Madagascar to improve the performance and quality of health services. However, these services do not meet the needs of the target populations given the management problems they have to overcome while carrying out their mission. In this sense, this study aims to study the improvement of the quality of the services of the Joseph Raseta Befelatànana University Hospital Center, through the New Public Management. To deal with this theme, a hypothesis was put forward on "The success of the quality approach depends on the choice of the approaches adopted" This study will be conducted using the hypothetico-deductive method. The results of the statistical tests made it possible to highlight the positive and significant correlation between the two variables studied: “Success of the Quality approach” and “Tools implemented”.. Indeed, the value of p-value is 0.0003, lower than the fixed threshold of 5%, means that the null hypothesis of the independence of the two variables is rejected. The hypothesis is therefore confirmed: "The success of the Quality approach depends on the choice of the approaches adopted"..Keywords: Management, Quality, Performance, Motivatio
Essais De Fabrication De Granulés De Provende Avec Un Pelletiseur A Pédales
Full text linkRésumé : Cette étude vise à modéliser et à prédire le rendement de production d’un pelletiseur de provende à pédales à partir de paramètres mécaniques et de formulation. Les variables étudiées incluent la vitesse de rotation de la matrice, la pression à appliquer, le taux d’humidité et le type de provende. Le dispositif expérimental comprend un plan factoriel complet avec 72 échantillons, testés à trois vitesses (80, 120 et 150 tr/min), deux taux d’humidité et trois niveaux de pression. L’analyse statistique, réalisée à l’aide du logiciel Minitab 18, a permis d’établir un modèle de régression multiple de forme : Les résultats montrent que la vitesse de rotation exerce l’influence la plus significative (p < 0,001) sur le rendement, avec un coefficient de détermination global R² = 98,35 %, indiquant un excellent ajustement du modèle. La pression et l’humidité contribuent positivement mais de façon secondaire. Ces résultats confirment l’importance d’une optimisation conjointe des paramètres opératoires pour améliorer la performance du pelletiseur et la qualité des granulés produits.Mots clés : Pelletiseur de provende, Rendement de production, Régression linéaire, Pressio
