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
Role and Tasks of Public Hospital Networks in the Process of Shaping Health Security
No full textSystem Podstawowego Szpitalnego Zabezpieczenia Świadczeń Opieki Zdrowotnej powstał w 2017 r. jako odpowiedź na potrzebę zwiększenia poziomu bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego w Polsce. Założenia projektu obejmowały zagwarantowanie kompleksowości i ciągłości udzielanych świadczeń zdrowotnych oraz zaopiekowanie się pacjentem na każdym etapie diagnostyki i leczenia, przez co obejmowały większość celów i priorytetów polityki zdrowotnej kraju. Przeprowadzone badania i kontrole wykazały, że sieć szpitali nie spełnia swoich funkcji na satysfakcjonującym poziomie. W związku z powyższym przedmiotem badania niniejszego artykułu stała się sieć szpitali jako kluczowy element polskiego bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego. Celem pracy jest zbadanie roli i zadań sieci szpitali publicznych w kształtowaniu procesu bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego, jak również stopień spełnienia jej funkcji zapewniania bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego obywatelom. Zastosowane metody badawcze obejmowały analizę literatury przedmiotu, obowiązujących aktów prawnych, dostępnych opracowań i artykułów naukowych oraz branżowych. Autorzy zadali następujące pytanie badawcze: czy sieć szpitali wywiązuje się z obowiązku zapewniania bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego społeczeństwu? Postawiono również tezę mówiącą, że obecny stan sieci szpitali nie jest satysfakcjonujący. Zawarte wnioski mogą być inspiracją do poprawy organizacji systemu ochrony zdrowia w Polsce. Zawierają one rekomendacje dotyczące usprawnienia systemu oraz poprawy poziomu bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego poprzez m.in. wprowadzenie systemowego rozwiązania dla lepszego zarządzania bazą łóżek szpitalnych czy efektywniejsze wykorzystanie map potrzeb zdrowotnych.The Primary Hospital Health Care Services Security System was established in 2017 as a response to the need to increase the level of health security in Poland. The assumptions of the project included ensuring the comprehensiveness and continuity of the provided health services and taking care of the patient at every stage of diagnosis and treatment, thus covering most of the objectives and priorities of the national health policy. The conducted research and inspections showed that hospitals’ network does not perform its functions at a satisfactory level. Therefore, this article’s subject has become the network of hospitals as a key element of Polish health security. The study aims to examine the role and tasks of the network of public hospitals in shaping the process of health security, as well as the extent to which it fulfills its function of providing health security to citizens. The research methods used included an analysis of the literature on the subject, legal acts in force, available studies, and scientific and industry articles. The authors asked the following research question: does a network of hospitals fulfill the obligation of providing health safety to society? There was also a thesis that the current state of the hospital network is not satisfactory. The conclusions may be an inspiration for improving the organization of the health care system in Poland. They contain recommendations on how to improve the system and improve the level of health security by, among other things, introducing a system solution for better management of the hospital bed base or more effective use of maps of health needs.
