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
FROM GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE TO TRANS-AFFIRMING CARE: Trans Youth Discourses of Healthcare Access
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2020Transgender youth in the United States face intersecting forms of societal marginalization and discrimination that places them at higher risk for disparate health outcomes compared to their cisgender peers. Access to care is known to improve long-term health outcomes among transgender adolescents, yet existing studies demonstrate that few youth receive transgender-affirming services. The overarching goal of this study was to better understand the healthcare-seeking experiences of transgender youth under 18 (both with and without parental support), highlighting how youths’ perspectives might challenge existing ideas in health research and practice about what constitutes equitable access to care in this population. The present study was comprised of three interrelated analyses. The first analyzes the discursive framing of contemporary transgender youth in the existing healthcare literature by applying discursive analytic methods to a small, purposely assembled sample of 10 articles in which ideas about the diagnosis and treatment of transgender youth are presented, discussed, and evaluated. The second utilizes discursive analytic methods and principles of community-based participatory research to analyze data from interviews with self-identified transgender youth between the ages of 13 to 17 (n=11) and parents of transgender youth (n=6) to better understand how youths’ transgender identity and legal status as minors impacted their ability to access health care or influenced the quality of care they received. Youth participants were invited to participate as members of the data analysis team. Two of the 11 youth participants served as data analysts. The third and final analysis integrates the perspectives of 8 additional trans youth who participated in a focus group regarding access to care for transgender minors and utilizes discursive analytic methods to evaluate how notions of age, consent, and autonomy influenced youth’s ability to access care and their inclusion in informed consent processes. Findings from this study suggest that a shift in research paradigms is needed for sufficiently addressing the health disparities facing trans youth, especially those most likely to experience inequitable access to care, particularly poor transgender youth, transgender youth who lack parental support, and transgender youth of color
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
