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
Kronik hepatit C virus infeksiyonlu hastalarda infeksiyon kaynakları ile hepatit C virus genotipleri arasındaki ilişki
No full textAmaç: Kronik hepatit C'li hastalarda hepatit C virusunun bulaş yolları araştırılmış ve virusun genotipleri ile bulaş yolları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Yöntem ve Gereç: Genotipleme,revers hibridizasyon, Line Probe assay, yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: 108 HCV RNA pozitif hastada, dört farklı genotip ve bazı mix genotipler saptanmıştır.1b genotipi en yaygın genotip olarak bulunmuştur (n=82) Hastaların altısının 1a, altısının 3a, dördünün 2a/2c, üçünün 2a, birinin 4c/4d genotipinde oldu¤u belirlenmiştir. Altı hastada, üçü genotip 1a+1b, ikisi genotip 1b+4a, biri ise genotip 1b+2a şeklinde, mikst genotip saptanmıştır.Altı hastada mikst genotip belirlenmiştir. Bunların üçü 1a+1b, ikisi 1b+4a, biri de 1b+2a/2c genotipinde saptanmıştır. Bütün hasta gruplarında en yaygın genotip 1b idi.108 hastanın %38.8'inde kan ve kan ürünleri transfüzyonu, %16.6'sında cerrahi girişim, %15.7'sinde diş tedavisi ve %12.9'unda diyaliz öyküsü mevcuttu. Sonuç: Kan donörlerinde rutin kan testleri yaptırmaları zorunlu olmadan önce, HCV infeksiyonunun en yaygın bulaşma yolu kan transfüzyonu ile olmaktaydı. Çalışmamızda,dövme, piercing, iatrojenik infeksiyonlar ve damar içi ilaç kullanımı gibi, bulaş açısından risk faktörlerinin hiçbiri bu hastalarda kaydedilmemiştir. Cerrahi işlem öyküsü bulunan hastalarda en yaygın genotip 1b saptanmıştır. Tüm hasta populasyonunda genotip 1b %75.9 oranında saptanmıştır.Background/aims: Hepatitis C virus transmission routes in chronic hepatitis C patients, the relationship between the viral genotype and the transmission routes were studied. Material and Methods: Genotyping was performed by using a commercial reverse hybridization method, Line Probe Assay. Results: Genotyping of 108 HCV RNA positive patients revealed four different types (1,2,3, and 4) and some mixed types. Subtype 1b was the most common (n=82). Subtype 1a and 3a were detected in six patients, 2a/2c was detected in seven patients, and 4c/4d was detected in one patient respectively. Six subjects revealed mixed infections. Three of them were 1a+1b, two of them were 1b+4a, and one of them was 1b+2a/2c.Genotype 1b was most common in all groups.In 38,8% of the 108 patients with a history of blood or blood product transfusions,16,6% of patients with a history of surgery, 15,7% of patients had an anamnesis of dental treatment and, 12,9% of patients receiving dialysis. Conclusion: Before the routine screening of blood donor practices became mandatory, the most common route of HCV infection was blood transfusions. The other risk factors of transmission such as tattoos, piercings, iatrogenic infections and intravenous drug usage have not been recorded for any of these patients in our study. The patient with a history of surgery had the genotype 1b as the most common genotype. The genotype 1b was determined in 75,9% of the whole patient population of the study
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.
