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
Sustainable radiology departments: A European survey to explore radiographers’ perceptions of environmental and energy sustainability issues
No full textVariations 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
Harnessing ChatGPT dialogues to address claustrophobia in MRI - A radiographers' education perspective
No full textIntroduction: The healthcare sector invests significantly in communication skills training, but not always with satisfactory results. Recently, generative Large Language Models, have shown promising results in medical education. This study aims to use ChatGPT to simulate radiographer-patient conversations about the critical moment of claustrophobia management during MRI, exploring how Artificial Intelligence can improve radiographers' communication skills. Methods: This study exploits specifically designed prompts on ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 to generate simulated conversations between virtual claustrophobic patients and six radiographers with varying levels of work experience focusing on their differences in model size and language generation capabilities. Success rates and responses were analysed. The methods of radiographers in convincing virtual patients to undergo MRI despite claustrophobia were also evaluated. Results: A total of 60 simulations were conducted, achieving a success rate of 96.7% (58/60). ChatGPT-3.5 exhibited errors in 40% (12/30) of the simulations, while ChatGPT-4 showed no errors. In terms of radiographers' communication during the simulations, out of 164 responses, 70.2% (115/164) were categorized as "Supportive Instructions," followed by "Music Therapy" at 18.3% (30/164). Experts mainly used "Supportive Instructions" (82.2%, 51/62) and "Breathing Techniques" (9.7%, 6/62). Intermediate participants favoured "Music Therapy" (26%, 13/50), while Beginner participants frequently utilized "Mild Sedation" (15.4%, 8/52). Conclusion: The simulation of clinical scenarios via ChatGPT proves valuable in assessing and testing radiographers' communication skills, especially in managing claustrophobic patients during MRI. This pilot study highlights the potential of ChatGPT in preclinical training, recognizing different training needs at different levels of professional experience. Implications for practice: This study is relevant in radiography practice, where AI is increasingly widespread, as it explores a new way to improve the training of radiographers
Sustainable Operating Rooms: A Comprehensive Framework for Environmental Impact Analysis
No full textThe healthcare sector is responsible for around 4.4 % of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, according to estimates. Operating rooms are responsible for the greatest rate of resource consumption and overall hospital waste, varying from 20 % to 33 %. Hence, it is essential to fully discover the environmental impact of surgical procedures to obtain insight into the total emissions associated with the healthcare sector. Moreover, the lack of uniformity in data collection and the discrepancy of the data used by researchers makes it challenging, if not ineffective, to conduct a rigorous scientific comparison among the currently available studies on the environmental impacts of surgical procedures. This study aims to provide a practical and standardised framework that can be utilised to evaluate, simply and consistently, the environmental impacts of surgical procedures. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to assess the state of the art in environmental impact analyses related to surgical practices. This review highlighted significant variability and heterogeneity in existing methodologies, serving as the foundation for developing a more consistent approach. By simulating three different scenarios based on data availability, a methodology is proposed to conduct an environmental impact analysis tailored to the specific needs of researchers. Adopting a uniform methodology guarantees the inclusion of important variables and factors, preventing any oversights in the evaluation of the entire process
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
