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
Dissociative symptoms and temperament-character relationship in anxiety disorders
No full textAmaç: Anksiyete ve dissosiyatif belirtiler arasındaki ilişkiden son yıllarda sıklıkla söz edilmekte ancak her anksiyete bozukluğu hastasında dissosiyatif belirtiler görülmemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı anksiyete bozukluğu hastalarında görülen dissosiyatif belirtilerin hastalığın kendisiyle mi yoksa hastalığın görüldüğü bireylerdeki belirli bir mizaç-karakter özelliğiyle mi ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza polikliniğimize başvuran ve DSM-V tanı kriterlerine göre yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu(YAB) ve panik bozukluk(PB) tanısı alan 75 hasta ile 75 sağlıklı kontrol grubu(KG) olmak üzere toplam 150 gönüllü katılımcı dahil edilmiştir. Hastalarla psikiyatrik görüşme yapılmış, yakınmalarının şiddetini değerlendirmek için Hamilton Anksiyete ve Depresyon Derecelendirme Ölçekleri(HAM-A, HAM-D) kullanılmış, tüm katılımcılardan sosyodemografik veri formu, Dissosiyatif Yaşantılar Ölçeği(DES), Dissosiyasyon Ölçeği(DIS-Q) ve Mizaç-Karakter Envanterini(TCI) doldurmaları istenmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler katılımcılar; YAB(n:45), PB(n:30) ve kontrol grubu(n:75) olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında HAM-A, HAM-D, DES ve DIS-Q puanları bakımından anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir (PB >YAB >KG). PB ve YAB grubunda mizaç alt ölçeklerinden zarardan kaçınma puanlarında kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı yükseklik bulunmuş, karakter alt ölçeklerinden kendini yönetme kontrol grubunda iki hasta grubundan da yüksek bulunmuş, PB ve YAB kendi içinde kendini yönetme açısından anlamlı farklılık göstermemiştir. DES ve DIS-Q puanlarını etkileyen faktörlerin yüksek HAM-A puanları, tanı, karakter özelliklerinden düşük kendini yönetme ve yüksek kendini aşma puanları olduğu, tanı kontrol edildiğinde dahi DES ve DIS-Q puanlarının HAM-A, kendini yönetme ve kendini aşma puanlarından etkilenmeye devam ettiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda anksiyeteyle dissosiyatif yaşantılar arasında pozitif korelasyon olduğu, hasta grubunun(PB de YAB'dan daha fazla olmak üzere) kontrollere göre daha fazla dissosiyatif belirti gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Yüksek zarardan kaçınma profili; çalışmamızda da anksiyete bozukluklarında saptanmış ancak dissosiyasyonu etkileyen faktörler arasında bulunmamıştır. Çalışmamızda dissosiyasyonu etkileyen faktörlerden olan Düşük kendini yönetme ve yüksek kendini aşma karakter profillerinin dissosiyasyon için bir yatkınlık oluşturabileceği öngörülmüştür. Bu çalışma anksiyete bozukluklarında dissosiyatif belirtileri ve bunun mizaç-karakter ile ilişkisini inceleyen bizim görebildiğimiz kadarıyla ilk çalışma olması bakımından önemlidir.Objective: The relationship between anxiety and dissociative symptoms is frequently mentioned in recent years, but there are no dissociative symptoms in each Anxiety Disorder Patient. The aim of this study was to determine whether the dissociative symptoms seen in patients with anxiety disorder are related to the disease itself or to a specific temperament-character characteristic in individuals with whom the disease is seen. Methods: A total of 150 volunteers, 75 healthy control groups and 75 patients who were admitted to our outpatient clinic and diagnosed as generalized anxiety disorder(GAD) and panic disorder(PD) according to DSM-V diagnostic criteria were included in our study. In order to evaluate the severity of the complaints, Hamilton Anxiety and Depression rating Scales(HAM-A, HAM-D) were used and all participants were asked to fill out the sociodemographic data form, Dissociative Experiences Scale(DES), dissociation questionnaire (DİS-Q) and Temperament-Character inventory(TCI). Statistical analysis data were divided into three groups:GAD(N:45), PD(N:30) and control group(N: 75). Results: HAM-A, HAM-D, DES and DIS-Q scores were significantly different between groups (PB> YAB> KG). Significant elevation in harm avoidance scores from temperament subscales in PD and GAD groups was found to be significantly higher than control group and self-directedness was higher in the control group than in the two patient groups. PD and GAD did not show a significant difference in self- directedness. Factors affecting DES and DIS-Q scores were high HAM-A scores, diagnosis, low self- directedness and high self-transcendence scores. When the diagnosis was checked, DES and DIS-Q scores continued to be affected by HAM-A, self-directedness and self-transcendence scores. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that there was a positive correlation between anxiety and dissociative experiences and the patient group (more than GAD in PD) showed more dissociative symptoms than controls. High harm avoidance profile; In our study, it was also found in anxiety disorders but not among the factors affecting dissociation. In our study, it is predicted that low self-directedness and high self-transcendence character profiles, which are the factors affecting dissociation, may constitute a predisposition to dissociation. This study is important for the first study, as far as we can see, to examine the dissociative symptoms of anxiety disorders and their relationship with temperament-character
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

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.
