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
The experience of being treated for Acute Coronary Syndrome in an emergency department : A patient perspective. A systematic integrative literature review
No full textBakgrund: Akut Koronart Syndrom (AKS) är ett samlingsnamn för tre olika kliniska tillstånd som förorsakas av en ruptur på ett ateromatösa plack vilket leder till en trombosbildning som okluderar hjärtats kranskärl helt eller delvis. Den äldre populationen utgör en stor andel av patienterna som drabbas av AKS sjukdom. AKS är en diagnos som påverkar patienten både fysiskt och psykiskt och Akutsjuksköterskor ska bemöta och vårda dessa patienter under hela dygnets timmar oavsett om det är ett stort eller lågt inflöde på akutmottagningen. Enligt statistik från Socialstyrelsen ökar antalet patienter på akutmottagningarna och tiden för den erbjudna vården minskar vilket gör att vårdbehov måste tidigt kunna identifieras för att kunna sätta in rätt omvårdnadsåtgärder för dessa. Syfte: Att belysa upplevelser av att som patient bli vårdad för akut koronart syndrom på akutmottagning. Metod: Metoden som valts är en systematisk integrativ litteraturöversikt. Datainsamlingen har gjorts med hjälp av den femstegsprocess som beskrivits av Oermann och Knafl (2021) där analysfasen bytts ut mot en tematisk innehållsanalys enligt Braun och Clarkes (2008). Resultat: Resultatet presenteras som tre övergripande teman (Fysiska upplevelser, Psykiska upplevelser och Vårdupplevelser) respektive åtta subteman (Smärtlindring vid koronar bröstsmärta. Rädsla, ångest och en osäkerhet över situationen. Upplevelse av hotad hälsa. Utsatthet vid hög belastning på akutmottagningen. Effekter av psykisk belastning vid AKS. Orsaker till upplevelsen av god vård. Bristande information och kommunikation. Självbestämmande och beslutstagande under vården.). Slutsatser: Patienter som vårdas för AKS på akutmottagning har komplexa upplevelser med stor variation som alla behöver sin vård där akutsjuksköterskans kompetens är av stor vikt. Behov för information beskrevs i stora delar av resultatet. Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a collective name for three different clinical conditions which are caused by a rupture on a atherosclerothic plaque. This situation leads to the creation of a thrombos that occludes a coronary artery in the heart partially or completely. The older generation makes up for a greater part of the patients treated for ACS. ACS is a condition that affects the patient both physically and psychologically and emergency nurses care for these patients during every hour of the day no matter if the patient flow is high or low at the emergency department. According to statistics from Socialstyrelsen, the number of patients at the emergency department is increasing and the time for care decreasing which further notes the importance of being able to early identify care-needs to be able to provide the correct care for these. Aim: To enlighten the experiences of patients getting care for acute coronary syndrome at the emergency department Method: The method that was chosen was a systematic integrative literature review. Datacollection has been done with the assistance of the five-step process described by Oermann och Knafl (2021) where the data analytic step has been replaced by a thematic content analysis described by Braun och Clarkes (2008). Results: The result section presents three general themes (Physical experiences, Psychological experiences and care-experiences) together with eight sub-themes (Painrelief during coronary chest pain. Fear, anxiety and uncertainty over the situation. An experience of threat towards health. Vulnerability during crowding at the emergency department. Effects of psychological burden during ACS. Reasons for experiencing good care. Lack of information and communication. Self-determination and decisionmaking during care.). Conclusions: Patients receiving care for AKS at the emergency department inhibit complex experiences with great variation which all need their own personal caring where the competence of the emergency nurse is of great importance. A need for information was described in greater parts of the result.

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
