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
Modelagem de processos e decisões: um estudo aplicado ao processo de tratamento medicamentoso de oncologia
Full text linkThis research proposes the study of a health area process through the modeling of processes and decisions. The modeling of processes and decisions applied to the health area can help in several factors, including the verification of control and traceability points, which reduce the risks to the patient's health and increase the quality of the service provided. The main objective of this research is to describe the logic of an oncology drug treatment process, from end to end, in order to indicate its control points and describe the logic of the decisions made in critical points of this process. The research also presents some specific objectives that are detailed in the introduction. In the theoretical foundation, the terms used during the research are clarified, in order to research the themes related to the modeling of processes and decisions, as well as their relationship in the health area. For the scientific conduct of this research, the modeling method will be used. This paper presents the creation of business process and decision models related to drug treatment in oncology through the use of Business Process Model and Notation and Decision Model and Notation. In addition, it aims to highlight the control points mapped in the process and address them using the 5W1H tool. The model created in BPMN will be exposed to the application of some comprehensibility guidelines, evaluating which ones were followed by the model and the work that was done to adapt the model to comply with others. It is intended to apply a method of verification and validation of diagrammatic models which is still under development and will be detailed during this research. Finally, this work concluded that the BPMN notation was effective in mapping the cancer treatment process, demonstrating the already established control points and the risks at certain points in the process. Also, the application of the DMN notation and its relationship with the BPMN notation was discussed, which showed the difficulty in applying it in processes where the decision has a high level of personalization.Esta pesquisa propôs o estudo de um processo da área da saúde por meio da modelagem de processos e de decisões.

O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi descrever a lógica de um processo de tratamento medicamentoso de oncologia, de ponta a ponta, de modo a indicar os seus pontos de controles e descrever a lógica das decisões realizadas em pontos críticos deste processo. A pesquisa também apresentou alguns objetivos específicos que são detalhados na introdução. Na fundamentação teórica, os termos utilizados durante a pesquisa foram esclarecidos, de modo que se pesquisou os temas relacionados à modelagem de processos e de decisões, assim como a associação na área da saúde. Para a condução científica desta pesquisa, foi utilizado o método de modelagem. Este trabalho apresentou a criação dos modelos de processo de negócio e de decisões relacionados ao tratamento medicamentoso de oncologia por meio da utilização das notações Business Process Model and Notation e Decision Model and Notation. Além disso, visou destacar os controles mapeados no processo e abordá-los utilizando a ferramenta 5W1H. O modelo criado em BPMN foi exposto à aplicação de algumas diretrizes de compreensibilidade, avaliando quais delas foram seguidas pelo modelo e o trabalho que foi realizado para adaptar o modelo ao cumprimento de outras. Foi aplicado um método de verificação e validação de modelos diagramáticos o qual ainda se encontra em desenvolvimento e será detalhado durante esta pesquisa. Por fim, este trabalho concluiu que a notação BPMN foi eficaz ao mapear o processo de tratamento oncológico, demonstrando os controles já estabelecidos e os riscos detectados no processo. Ainda, foi discutida a aplicação da notação DMN e a sua relação com a notação BPMN, a qual mostrou dificuldade em ser aplicada em processos com decisões altamente personalizadas
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
