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
Limit Experiences in the Operating Room. The Experience of the Multi-Organ Procurement Process by Operating Room Nurses.
No full textZusammenfassung Hintergrund: Multiorganentnahmen sind hochkomplexe Operationseingriffe deren Ende unausweichlich mit dem Tod des Menschen vergesellschaftet ist. Organe werden zur weiteren Verwendung (Transplantation) dem Menschen (Spender:in) entnommen, um anderen Menschen dadurch unter Umständen ein neues Leben zu schenken. Für die mitwirkenden Berufsgruppen erfordert dies höchste Professionalität und Aufmerksamkeit, oft geknüpft an Zeitdruck und emotionsgeladenen Momenten. Die OP-Pflege spielt in diesem System eine wesentliche Rolle. Die emotionale Belastung kann dabei zu einem dauerhaften Begleiter werden. Forschungsfrage: Wie erleben OP-Pflegepersonen, welche an Multiorganspende-Eingriffen (DBD/DCD) beteiligt sind, den Multiorganentnahmeprozess? Methode: Nach einer strukturierten Literaturrecherche im Zeitraum von Jänner 2025 bis April 2025, wurden 12 Studien zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage gesichtet und schlussendlich ausgewählt. Die Studien wurden in Datenbanken wie Pubmed oder Cinahl selektiert. Zusätzlich wurde in Google Scholar per Handsuche nach Literatur gesucht. Um die Qualität der Studien zu überprüfen, wurden diese mit dem Bewertungsbogen für qualitative Studien von Behrens und Langer (2004) beurteilt. Ergebnis: Nach sorgfältiger Analyse der Studien wurden daraus 6 gemeinsame Kategorien abgeleitet. •Emotionale Belastungen •Ethische Dilemmata •Professionelle Herausforderungen •Sinnorientierung •Coping Strategien •Unterstützung und Teamdynamik. Schlussfolgerung: Emotionen und Zweifel sind gegenwärtige Zustände welchen OP-Pflegepersonen bei Multiorganentnahme-Eingriffen begegnen. Die Praxis ist gefordert dies wahrzunehmen und dabei dem präventiv entgegenzuwirken. Die Rolle der OP-Pflegepersonen sollte deutlich an Bedeutung gewinnen. Keywords: OP-Pflege, Multiorganentnahme Eingriffe, qualitative Forschung, ErlebenAbstract Background: Multi-organ procurement procedures are highly complex surgical interventions that are inevitably associated with the death of the donor. Organs are retrieved from the deceased donor for the purpose of transplantation, potentially offering other individuals a chance for renewed life. For the involved professional groups, these procedures demand the highest level of professionalism and concentration, often under time pressure and in emotionally charged situations. Operating room (OR) nurses play a crucial role within this process. However, the emotional strain associated with these procedures can become a persistent burden. Research Question: How do operating room nurses, involved in multi-organ procurement procedures (DBD/DCD), experience the process of organ retrieval? Method: Following a structured literature search conducted between January and April 2025, twelve studies were identified and selected to answer the research question. The studies were retrieved from databases such as PubMed and CINAHL. Additional hand searches were conducted via Google Scholar. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the evaluation framework for qualitative research developed by Behrens and Langer (2004). Results: Following a thorough analysis of the selected studies, six central thematic categories were identified: • Emotional burdens • Ethical dilemmas • Professional challenges • Sense of meaning and purpose • Coping strategies • Support and team dynamics Conclusion: Emotions and doubts are recurring themes encountered by OR nurses during multi-organ procurement procedures. Clinical practice is urged to acknowledge these experiences and implement preventative support structures. The role of OR nurses within the organ procurement process deserves greater recognition and emphasis.

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
