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
More than terminal care : palliative geriatrics (implementation of six palliative care beds in a long-term care facility)
No full textDie vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Tod, der Trauer und dem Sterben. Genau diese Themen werden nach wie vor in unserer Gesellschaft gemieden oder verschwiegen. Für Führungskräfte, insbesondere in Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen, ist der Tod, die Trauer und das Sterben, allgegenwärtig. Insbesondere geht es um die Herausforderungen bei der Implementierung von sechs Betten in einer Langzeitpflegeeinrichtung, für palliative Bewohner:innen. Die Führungskraft muss gemeinsam mit der Heimleitung und der Geschäftsführung, aber auch mit dem gesamten Team der Pflegepersonen und Ärzt:innen, die wirtschaftlichen und personellen Ressourcen meistern. Die größte Problematik in der Palliativen Geriatrie ist, dass es zu wenig Plätze für ältere Menschen mit Palliativem Hintergrund in Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen gibt. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es in der Steiermark ein Gütesiegel des Dachverbandes Hospiz Österreich, welches Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen die Möglichkeit bietet, ihr Haus zu zertifizieren. Nachdem die Problematik, die Fragestellung und die Zielsetzung von der Verfasserin definiert wurden, begann die Literaturrecherche. Sie erfolgte in der Suchmaschine Pubmed, mit folgenden Schlüsselwörtern: nurse*, Palliative Geriatrie, Österreich, Schweiz, Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen, Implementierung. Nachdem die Studienrecherche abgeschlossen war, konzentrierte sich die Verfasserin auf Fachbücher und Fachzeitschriften zu dieser Thematik. Die Implementierung wird im letzten Kapitel der Masterarbeit beschrieben. Hierfür begann die Verfasserin mit der Erstellung eines Konzeptes. Um die Erstellung dessen leichter zu gestalten, fand die Verfasserin durch Internetrecherchen eine Langzeitpflegeeinrichtung in der Schweiz, welche ein Implementierungsprojekt über einen zweijährigen Zeitraum erstellte. Auch in der Steiermark wurde eine Langzeitpflegeeinrichtung besucht, welche bereits das Gütesiegel des Dachverbandes Hospiz Österreich besitzt. Ein Ergebnis der Implementierung konnte nicht zur Gänze dargestellt werden, da das Projekt noch läuft. Es gestaltet sich aufgrund der personellen Situation derzeit sehr schwierig. Die Verfasserin hofft, dass die Implementierung weiterlaufen kann und nicht zur Gänze eingefroren werden muss.This master's thesis deals with death, mourning and dying. These are precisely the topics that are still avoided or kept quiet in our society. For managers, especially in long-term care facilities, death, mourning and dying, are omnipresent. In particular, it is about the challenges of implementing six beds in a long-term care facility, for palliative residents:in. The manager has to master the economic and human resources together with the head of the home and the management, but also with the entire team of caregivers and physicians. The biggest problem in palliative geriatrics is that there are too few places for older people with a palliative background in long-term care facilities. Since a few years there is a seal of approval of the umbrella organization Hospice Austria in Styria, which offers long-term care facilities the possibility to certify their house. After the author defined the problem, the research question and the objective, the literature research began. It was done in the search engine Pubmed, with the following keywords: nurse*, palliative geriatrics, Austria, Switzerland, long-term care facilities, implementation. After the study search was completed, the author focused on textbooks and journals on this topic. The implementation is described in the last chapter of the master thesis. For this purpose, the author began with the creation of a concept. In order to make the creation of the concept easier, the author found a long-term care facility in Switzerland through internet research, which created an implementation project over a two-year period. Also in Styria a long-term care facility was visited, which already has the seal of approval of the umbrella organization Hospice Austria. A result of the implementation could not be presented completely, because the project is still running. It is currently very difficult due to the personnel situation. The author hopes that the implementation can continue and does not have to be frozen completely.Elisabeth ReschMasterarbeit Universität Graz 2023Zusammenfassung auf Deutsch und Englisc

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
