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
Digital technology and its impact on participation in society among older adults
No full textBakgrund: Användningen av digital teknologi påverkar hur aktiviteter utförs, vilket kan skapa hinder eller möjligheter för äldre personers delaktighet i samhället. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur delaktighet i samhället påverkas av den digitala teknologin med fokus på äldre personer i åldern 65–79 år. Studien har en kvalitativ metod och en induktiv ansats. För att rekrytera äldre personer användes ett bekvämlighetsurval, nio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Resultaten visar att digital delaktighet bland personer i åldern 65–79 år varierar beroende på tidigare erfarenheter, intresse och stöd från omgivningen. De som använt digital teknologi i arbetslivet har lättare att anpassa sig, medan andra upplever den digitala teknologin som svår. Slutsatsen är att digital teknologi kan öka äldre personers sociala delaktighet, ge tillgång till lokal och global information samt möjliggöra användning av viktiga samhällstjänster, vilket främjar delaktighet och engagemang. Implikationer: Examensarbetet kan tydliggöra hur digital teknologi påverkar delaktigheten i samhället samt hur arbetsterapeuter kan tillämpa detta i sitt arbete. Background: The use of digital technology affects how activities are carried out, which can create obstacles or opportunities för older people´s participation in society. The aim of the study was to explore how participation in society is affected by digital technology, with a focus on older adults aged 65–79. The study is based on a qualitative method with an inductive approach. To recruit older people, a convenience sample was used, and nine interviews were conducted. The results show that digital participation among individuals aged 65–79 varies depending on previous experience, interest, and support from their environment. Those who have used digital technology in their work life find it easier to adapt, while others perceive digital technology as difficult. Conclusion the study shows that digital technology can increase older adults' social participation, provide access to local and global information, and enable the use of important public services, which in turn promotes engagement and inclusion. Implications: The thesis can illuminate how digital technology affects participation in society and how occupational therapists can apply this to their work

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
