Impressions of Health Messages Among Black Women-Study 1
No full textThe primary goal of this experiment is to explore how Black women perceive messaging that discusses best mental health practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly when the message discusses the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on Black women (i.e., a targeted messaging). Black female participants will read a message that either does (targeted) or does not (non-targeted) discuss the harmful impact of pandemic specifically on Black women and highlight the importance of Black women developing healthy coping skills to protect their mental health during the pandemic. The article will either be written by a Black male or female mental health professional or a White male or female mental health professional. We will explore impressions of the source and the message
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
Impressions of Health Messages Among Black Women-Study 4
No full textThe primary goal of this experiment is to explore how Black women perceive messaging that discusses best mental health practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly when the message discusses the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on Black women (i.e., targeted messaging). Black female participants will be introduced to a White male therapist via his website. They will then view his client testimonials from either Black female clients or White male clients. Next, participants will read a health message that discusses the general stressors of the pandemic (non-targeted) or a targeted message that discusses the disproportionate mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black women that focuses on self-care strategies to address mental health challenges and societal changes that could promote greater support for Black women (targeted-societal). The message will be written by the White male mental health professional. We will explore impressions of the source and the message
Impressions of Health Messages Among Black Women-Study 3
No full textThe primary goal of this experiment is to explore how Black women perceive messaging that discusses best mental health practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly when the message discusses the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on Black women (i.e., a targeted messaging). Black female participants will read a health message discussing the general stressors of the pandemic (non-targeted), a targeted message about the disproportionate mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black women that only discusses individual self-care strategies to address mental health challenges (targeted-individual), or a targeted message that also discusses societal changes that could promote greater support for Black women (targeted-societal). The message will either be written by a Black male or White female mental health professional. We will explore impressions of the source and the message

Impressions of Therapist's Websites - Study 4
No full textThe primary goal of this experiment is to explore the impact of different identity-safety cues on Black Americans’ perceptions of doctors. Specifically, we are curious about which cues most effectively engenders trust of White physicians. Black American participants will be introduced to a White male urgent care physician via his website. Next, participants will view a website image of a diversity statement from the physician. The control statement condition (with the control symbol; i.e., a computer symbol) will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on all people and how the doctor supports all people across all identities. The BLM statement condition (with control symbol) will acknowledge how COVID-19, systemic racism, and police brutality have specifically affected Black people and how the doctor is committed to supporting Black people. The BLM symbol condition will include the BLM symbol on the website and the control statement. The present study will be a replication of a previous study, and we will explore if the impressions of the physician and the website have changed over time
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
