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
Методы улучшения исходов лечения бесплодия, ассоциированного с эндометриоидными кистами яичников
No full textStudy Objective: to improve the treatment outcomes of infertility associated with endometriomas, by developing a diagnostic and treatment algorithm. Study Design: randomised comparative study in parallel groups. Materials and Methods. 82 women with infertility and endometriomas were evaluated. An infertility diagnostic and treatment algorithm for patients with endometriomas was developed on the basis of previous therapies and taking into account literature data; and its efficiency was tested. Patients were allocated to one of two groups: group 1 - 38 patients managed with a traditional set of diagnostic and therapeutic tools; group 2 - 44 patients managed with the help of our new algorithm. We compared the rate and characteristics of pregnancies depending on the method used to manage patients with endometriomas. Study Results. In group 1, 14 (36.8%) patients conceived, whereas in group 2, 30 (68.2%) (p = 0.005) patients were pregnant; pregnancies were spontaneous in 6 (42.9%) out of 14 patients in group 1 and in 21 (70.0%) out of 30 patients in group 2 (p = 0.002). The rate of pregnancies after surgical treatment of infertility and endometriomas was 21.4% and 20.0% in group 1 and group 2, respectively. After a repeated surgery, 5 (35.7%) out of 14 patients in group 1 and 3 (10%) patients in group 2 (p = 0.031) managed to conceive. Conclusion. The clinical efficiency of the new algorithm was demonstrated; it allows automating the selection of the management strategy for patients with endometriomas, reducing the time required for medical decisions, and forecasting infertility treatment outcomes.Цель исследования: улучшить исходы лечения бесплодия, ассоциированного с эндометриоидными кистами яичников (ЭКЯ), путем разработки алгоритма лечебно-диагностических мероприятий. Дизайн: рандомизированное сравнительное исследование в параллельных группах. Материалы и методы. Обследованы 82 женщины с бесплодием и ЭКЯ. На основании предыдущего опыта лечения пациенток и с учетом данных литературы разработан алгоритм диагностики и лечения бесплодия у женщин с ЭКЯ, проведено исследование его эффективности. Пациентки разделены на две группы: группа 1 - 38 женщин, при ведении которых был использован стандартный комплекс лечебно-диагностических мероприятий; группа 2 - 44 пациентки, при лечении которых применяли разработанный нами алгоритм. Сравнивали частоту и особенности наступления беременности в зависимости от подхода к ведению женщин с ЭКЯ. Результаты. В группе 1 беременность наступила у 14 (36,8%) пациенток, в группе 2 - у 30 (68,2%) (p = 0,005), при этом беременность была спонтанной у 6 (42,9%) из 14 пациенток группы 1 и у 21 (70,0%) из 30 участниц группы 2 (p = 0,002). Частота беременности после хирургического лечения пациенток с бесплодием и ЭКЯ - 21,4% в группе 1 и 20,0% в группе 2. После повторных операций беременность наступила у 5 (35,7%) из 14 участниц группы 1 и у 3 (10%) пациенток группы 2 (p = 0,031). Заключение. Продемонстрирована клиническая эффективность применения разработанного алгоритма, который позволяет автоматизировать выбор тактики ведения пациенток с ЭКЯ, снизить длительность принятия врачебных решений и прогнозировать исходы лечения бесплодия
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
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
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
