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
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
Analysis of the Professional Satisfaction of the Nursing Team of a District Basic Health Unit of Ribeirão Preto-SP
No full textTrata-se de um estudo de corte transversal realizado em uma Unidade Distrital de Saúde de Ribeirão Preto-SP que teve como objetivo geral analisar a satisfação profissional das equipes de enfermagem do Ambulatório de Especialidades e do Pronto-Atendimento (PA) e como objetivos específicos: analisar o grau de importância dado a cada componente da satisfação profissional (autonomia, interação, status profissional, requisitos do trabalho, normas organizacionais e remuneração) para as equipes estudadas; analisar a satisfação profissional das equipes de enfermagem de uma Unidade Distrital de Saúde, com base em seus componentes. A população do estudo foi constituída de 23 profissionais da equipe de enfermagem do Ambulatório (05 Enfermeiros,10 Técnicos de Enfermagem e 08 Auxiliares de Enfermagem) e 20 profissionais da equipe de enfermagem do PA ( 06 Enfermeiros, 06 Técnicos de Enfermagem e 08 Auxiliares de Enfermagem). A coleta de dados foi realizada com a utilização do instrumento Índice de Satisfação Profissional (ISP), constituído de 15 questões pareadas que mediram a importância dos componentes de satisfação profissional para as equipes e uma escala tipo Likert de 44 itens que mediram o nível de satisfação profissional. Os dados obtidos por meio do questionário foram organizados, categorizados, codificados e digitalizados em planilha eletrônica do Microsoft Office® Excel 2007, sob a forma de banco de dados, seguindo a técnica da dupla digitação. Posteriormente foram processados no programa estatísticos Statistical Analisys System® (SAS) versão 9.1. A estatística descritiva foi utilizada para a caracterização e análise dos dados sociodemográficos das equipes de enfermagem do Ambulatório e PA. O escore do ISP foi obtido segundo instruções específicas fornecidas pela autora Stamps (1997b) no instrumento original e por Lino (1999), responsável pela tradução para a língua portuguesa, adaptação e validação do mesmo. Os resultados mostraram predominância do sexo feminino, sendo a média de idade de 45 anos no Ambulatório e 41 anos no PA. Após a eliminação de seis itens da escala total identificados como inconsistentes, o coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach indicou uma confiabilidade de 0,78 no Ambulatório, 0,66 no PA, demonstrando ser um instrumento confiável. Quanto ao nível de importância atribuída aos componentes da satisfação profissional, verificou-se que a equipe de enfermagem do Ambulatório considerou o componente Interação como o mais importante, seguido dos componentes Status Profissional, Requisitos do Trabalho, Normas Organizacionais, Remuneração e Autonomia. A equipe do PA considerou o componente Interação também como o mais importante, seguido dos componentes Status Profissional, Normas Organizacionais, Autonomia, Requisitos do Trabalho e Remuneração. Em relação ao nível de satisfação profissional, verificou-se que a equipe de enfermagem do Ambulatório estava mais satisfeita com o componente Interação, seguido dos componentes Autonomia, Remuneração, Requisitos do Trabalho, Normas Organizacionais e Status Profissional. Já no PA estavam mais satisfeitos com o componente Autonomia, seguido dos componentes Interação, Remuneração, Requisitos do Trabalho, Status Profissional e Normas Organizacionais. Os valos de ISP encontrados foram 8,29 para o ambulatório e 7,64 para o PA, evidenciando a pouca satisfação no ambiente do trabalho.This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a District Health Unit of Ribeirão Preto- SP, which aimed to analyze the professional satisfaction of the nursing team of the Specialty Outpatient Clinic and the Emergency Service (ES), with the specific aims: to analyze the degree of importance given to each professional satisfaction component (autonomy, interaction, professional status, work requirements, organizational policies and remuneration) by the teams studied; and to analyze the professional satisfaction of the nursing teams of a District Health Unit, based on the components. The study population consisted of 23 professionals of the Outpatient Clinic nursing team (05 Nurses, 10 Nursing Technicians and 08 Auxiliary Nurses) and 20 professional of the ES nursing team (06 Nurses, 06 Nursing Technicians and 08 Auxiliary Nurses). Data collection was performed using the Professional Satisfaction Index (PSI) instrument, consisting of 15 paired questions that measure the importance of the professional satisfaction components for the teams, and a Likert type scale of 44 items that measures the level of professional satisfaction. The data obtained through the questionnaire were organized, categorized, coded and digitalized into a Microsoft Excel® 2007 spreadsheet, in a database format, following the double entry technique. The statistical program Statistical Analysis System® (SAS) version 9.1 was subsequently used to process the data. Descriptive statistics were used for the characterization and analysis of the social-demographic data of the nursing teams of the Outpatient Clinic and the ES. The PSI score was obtained following specific instructions provided by the author Stamps (1997b) in the original instrument, and by Lino (1999), responsible for the Portuguese translation, adaptation and validation. The results showed a predominance of females, with a mean age of 45 years in the Outpatient Clinic and 41 years in the ES. After the elimination of six items from the total scale identified as inconsistent, the Cronbach\'s alpha coefficient indicated a reliability of 0.78 in the Outpatient Clinic and 0.66 in the ES, demonstrating the reliability of the instrument. Regarding the level of importance attached to the professional satisfaction components, it was found that the nursing team of the Outpatient Clinic considered the Interaction component to be the most important, followed by the Professional Status, Work Requirements, Organizational Standards, Remuneration and Autonomy components. The team of the ES also considered the Interaction component to be the most important, followed by the Professional Status, Organizational Standards, Autonomy, Work Requirements and Remuneration components. Regarding the level of professional satisfaction, it was found that the nursing team of the Outpatient Clinic was more satisfied with the interaction component, followed by the Autonomy, Remuneration, Work Requirements, Organizational Standards and Professional Status components. In the ES the team was more satisfied with the Autonomy component, followed by the Interaction, Remuneration, Work Requirements, Professional Status and Organizational Standards components. The PSI values found were 8.29 for the outpatient clinic and 7.64 to for the ES, evidencing the low satisfaction in the work environment
