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
Effects of digital lifestyle interventions for patients with ischemic heart disease : A non-systematic literature review
No full textBakgrund Ischemisk hjärtsjukdom är en av de mest förekommande sjukdomarna i världen. Riskfaktorer är bland annat hög ålder, dåliga levnadsvanor, diabetes och obesitas. Sekundär prevention som innefattar hälsosamma levnadsvanor är viktigt för att inte drabbas av en ny ischemisk hjärtsjukdom. Personer med ischemisk hjärtsjukdom har ofta en låg hälsolitteracitet och en låg kunskap om sin egenvård. Sjuksköterskan har ansvaret för omvårdnaden och ska hjälpa patienter med rehabilitering efter en ischemisk hjärtsjukdom och i detta arbete skulle digitala lösningar kunna vara ett verktyg. Digital hälsa är ett nytt segment för att främja hälsa och sammanställning behövs för att se effekterna av de digitala interventionerna hos patienter med ischemisk hjärtsjukdom. Syfte Syftet var att belysa effekter av digitala interventioner som stöd vid förändring av levnadsvanor hos patienter med ischemisk hjärtsjukdom Metod Icke-systematisk litteraturöversikt där tolv vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderades. Artiklarna hämtades ifrån databaserna CINAHL och PubMed. Artiklarna är granskade enligt Sophiahemmet högskolas bedömningsunderlag. Artiklarna analyserades och resultatet sammanställdes enligt integrerad dataanalys Resultat Den integrerade analysen gav en huvudkategori Digitalt omvårdnad för att stödja egenvård och fyra underkategorier Telefonuppföljning, Textmeddelanden, Applikationer och Webbsida. Resultatet visar att effekterna på deltagarnas levnadsvanor förbättrades där den fysiska aktiviteten och kostvanorna var signifikanta. Effekterna på deltagarnas välmående förbättrades och stresshanteringen visade på en signifikant skillnad. Effekterna på deltagarnas kunskap och egenförmåga förbättrades där egenförmåga visade på signifikant skillnad. Slutsats Resultatet tyder på förbättring hos deltagarnas levnadsvanor, välmående, kunskap och egenförmåga. Interventionerna gav signifikanta förbättringar för levnadsvanor, egenförmåga och stresshantering. Det är svårt att avgöra vilken digital lösning som fungerar bäst. Däremot lutar det åt att digitala lösningar kan ha en positiv effekt och genom att utbilda sjuksköterskan att lära sig att bemästra dessa lösningar för att sedan kunna använda dessa som verktyg för att förbättra levnadsvanorna hos personer med ischemisk hjärtsjukdom. Background Ischemic heart disease is one of the most common diseases in the world. Risk factors include old age, poor lifestyle habits, diabetes and obesity. Secondary prevention, which includes healthy lifestyle habits, is an important part of preventing recurrence. People with ischemic heart disease often have low health literacy and low knowledge of their own care. The nurse is responsible for the care and should help patients with rehabilitation after ischemic heart disease and in this work could digital solutions be a tool. Digital health is a new segment for promoting health and a summarization is needed to see the effects of the digital interventions to patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease. Aim The aim was to highlight the effects of digital interventions as support for changing lifestyle habits in patients with ischemic heart disease. Method This non-systematic literature review includes twelve scientific articles. The articles were collected from the two databases CINAHL and PubMed. All the articles were reviewed according to Sophiahemmet University's assessment criteria. The articles were analyzed and the results compiled according to integrated data analysis Results The integrated analysis resulted in one main category Digital nursing to support self-care and four subcategories’ Telephone follow-up, Text messages, Applications and Websites. The results show that the effects on participants' lifestyle behaviors improved where physical activity and dietary habits were significant. The effects on participants' well-being improved and stress management showed a significant difference. The effects on participants' knowledge and self-efficacy improved where self-efficacy showed a significant difference. Conclusion The results indicate an improvement in the participants' lifestyle habits, well-being, knowledge and self-efficacy. The interventions provided significant improvements in lifestyle habits, self-efficacy and stress management. It is difficult to determine the best digital solution. However, it is likely that digital solutions can have a positive effect in patients with ischemic heart disease by educating the nurse to master thes
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
