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
Sexual health and impact in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer and their sexual partners
No full textEl objetivo del estudio fue determinar la relación de la Salud sexual y el impacto en las mujeres que han sido sometidas a tratamientos por Cáncer de mama, con la de sus compañeros sexuales, y establecer cómo se relacionan con el Estado de ánimo, la Ansiedad y la Depresión. De Enfoque cuantitativo, corte transversal, diseño correlacional y muestreo no probabilístico; participaron 103 parejas de cinco ciudades colombianas. Se aplicaron los instrumentos: Cuestionario de Función sexual, Impacto de los tratamientos, Perfil de estados de ánimo, Inventario de ansiedad y depresión de Beck. Se reportan resultados con correlaciones negativas significativas, entre la Salud y el Impacto en las mujeres (r= -0,623 p: 0.001) y en los compañeros(r= -0,369; p: ,002). En la díada, se logra correlación positiva significativa en cuanto a su Salud sexual(r= ,420 p: 0.001), el Estado de ánimo(r= ,501 p: 0.001 y la Depresión (r= ,309 p: ,002). Las emociones de las mujeres afectan las de ellos (β= 0,68 p: 0,001), mientras, la salud sexual de estos las afecta a ellas (β= 0,44 p: 0,001). En Conclusión, Las díadas no alcanzan una salud sexual óptima y experimentan un impacto significativo como consecuencia de los tratamientos oncológicos, siendo las mujeres las más afectadas. Emocionalmente, presentan altos niveles de estado de ánimo negativo, ansiedad y depresión, siendo más evidentes en las mujeres. Ante estos hallazgos, se realizó una propuesta de cuidado de Enfermería, que requiere ser implementada. / Abstract. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of the sexual health and the impact on women who have been subjected to treatments for breast cancer with their sexual partners and establish how they relate with the mood, anxiety, and depression. In this study of quantitative approach and cross-sectional, correlational design and non-probabilistic sampling participated 103 couples of five Colombian cities. The instruments that were applied are: Questionnaire for sexual function, impact of the treatments, the profile of moods, Beck´s Inventory of anxiety and depression. Results with significant negative correlations are reported between the health and the impact on women (r= -0,623 p: 0,001) and in the partners (r= -0,369; p: 0,002). In the dyad, a significant positive correlation is accomplished with regard to their sexual health (r= 0,420 p: 0,001), the mood(r= 0,501 p: 0,001) and the depression (r= 0,309 p: ,002). The emotions of women affect that of theirs partners (β= 0.68 p: 0.001), while the sexual health of the partner males affects that of them (β= 0.44 p: 0.001). In conclusion the dyads not reach an optimal sexual health and experiencing a significant impact as result of cancer treatments, with the females being most affected. Emotionally, they show high levels of negative mood, anxiety and depression, being more evident in women. Given these findings a proposal was made for nursing care which requires to be implementedDoctorad
