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
Incremental learning-based cascaded model for detection and localization of tuberculosis from chest x-ray images
No full textAHMAD, Mohammad Nazir/0000-0003-3639-1157; Vats, Satvik/0000-0002-9422-4915; Sharma, Vikrant/0000-0003-3178-8657; Salahshour, Soheil/0000-0003-1390-3551Rapid treatment protocols such as X-ray and CT scans have played a crucial role in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB infection). Automatic detection of CXR is required to speed up patient treatment with accuracy. Consequently, it reduces the burden of patients on medical practitioners. The present paper proposes an incremental learning-based cascaded (ILCM) model to detect tuberculosis from Chest X-ray images. The proposed model also localizes the infected region on the CXR image. The experimental outcome, clearly indicates that the performance is better than the pre-trained model as tested on the local population data (93.20% overall accuracy), F1 score of 97.23% (harmonic mean of precision and recall). Where the Golden standard dataset was 83.32% overall accuracy, and F1 score 82.24%
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
Iterative enhancement fusion-based cascaded model for detection and localization of multiple disease from CXR-Images
No full textAhmadian, Ali/0000-0002-0106-7050; Innab, Nisreen/0000-0003-4412-7727; Taniar, David/0000-0002-8862-3960; Sharma, Vikrant/0000-0003-3178-8657; Vats, Satvik/0000-0002-9422-4915The lungs are a vital organ of the human body. Malfunctioning of the lungs caused a direct threat to life. In recent years the world has witnessed massive medical insufficiency to handle the lung diseases caused by numerous agents including COVID-19. According to the recommended course of treatment, medical imaging tests including X-rays and CT scans have been very helpful in identifying multiple chest infections. Automatic detection of chest disease is the need of the modern time as it will speed up patient care and reduce doctors' workload. An Iterative Enhancement Fusion-based Cascaded (IEFCM) model to identify multiple diseases from chest X-ray images is suggested in the present paper. If a chest infection is discovered in the imaging, the suggested model additionally localizes the precise infected area on the CXR image. Experimental outcome clearly demonstrates that the performance of suggested model is significantly superior to the pre-trained model, that is the Golden standard dataset and data from the local population. In terms of sensitivity and specificity, IEFCM achieved 95.62 % sensitivity, which indicates an accurate diagnosis of lung disease, reducing the risk of missing any instances. Similarly, the specificity is 96.23 %, which denotes, the IEFCM model correctly identified the healthy people. It resulted decrease of misdiagnosis and unnecessary follow-up testings.Deanship of Research and Graduate Studies at King Khalid University [RGP2/210/45]; Almaarefa University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia [MHIRSP2024013]The authors extend their appreciation to the Deanship of Research and Graduate Studies at King Khalid University for funding this work through Large Research Project under grant number RGP2/210/45.

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
