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
Gestión de residuos sólidos en la conservación del medio ambiente en la municipalidad distrital de Echarate 2022
Full text linkEl objetivo general de este estudio fue demostrar el impacto del manejo de residuos
sólidos en la conservación del medio ambiente en el distrito de Echarate, se utilizó
el método de investigación de tipo aplicada, el enfoque fue cuantitativo, de diseño
no experimental y corte transversal, de nivel explicativo. La muestra incluyó a 378
vecinos de la zona. Para recolectar la información se utilizó la técnica de la
encuesta, haciendo uso de dos cuestionarios como herramienta, ambos validados
a través de juicio de expertos, lo que determino su aplicabilidad, además, se
identificó la confiabilidad mediante el estadístico del Alfa de Cronbach. Los
resultados obtenidos muestran un valor de significación de p=0,001; asimismo, el
valor del coeficiente de Nagelkerke fue de 0,115. Lo que significa, la dependencia
de la conservación del medio ambiente en 11.5% de la gestión de residuos sólidos.
Se concluyó que la gestión de residuos sólidos influye en la conservación del medio
ambiente en la municipalidad distrital de Echarate 202
Correlación entre Características Epidemiológicas, Creencias y Mitos Sobre Salud Oral Durante el Embarazo por Gestantes del Distrito de Lucre. Provincia Quispicanchis. Cusco. 2016
Full text linkEl objetivo del estudio fue conocer las creencias y mitos sobre la salud oral que tienen las gestantes del distrito de Lucre y su correlación con las características epidemiológicas. La Investigación de tipo observacional, descriptiva, de corte transversal, evaluó un total de 57 gestantes que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión y aceptaron participar en el estudio. Se aplicó un cuestionario a las gestantes que asistían al control prenatal del servicio de Obstetricia del P.S Lucre. Los resultados respecto a las características epidemiológicas, revelaron que el grupo Etáreo con mayor porcentaje (50.88%) fue en el rango de 20 y 29 años; el 54.39% tuvo dos o tres gravideces; el 59.65% de gestantes estaban en el segundo trimestre finalmente; el 43.86% de participantes fueron del nivel primaria y secundaria. Las gestantes consideran que el 64.91% de gestantes considera necesario el cepillo y pasta dental como medidas de limpieza; el 64.91% cree que el embarazo produce la caries dental; el 54.39% considera que el embarazo provoca pérdida de dientes; el 63.16% considera normal la presencia de un tumor en las encías; el 43.86% señala que no es importante recibir atención odontológica durante el embarazo; el 71.93% cree que la toma de radiografías dentales durante el embarazo dañaría al bebé; el 33.33% cree que el uso de anestésicos dentales durante el embarazo puede producir malformaciones en el feto; el 50.88% cree que tomar medicamentos durante el embarazo puede producir defectos en él bebe. Los resultados del estudio revelaron que no existe correlación entre características epidemiológicas y las creencias y mitos que poseen las gestantes del distrito de Lucre.Tesi
