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
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
Korelasis Hort Form-36 dengan Skala Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group dalam Menilai Kualitas Hidup pada Pasien Limfoma Non Hodgkin yang Mendapat Kemoterapi Regimen Cyclophoshamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, dan Prednisone
No full textBackground --- Health-related quality of life’s (HRQOL) assessment has become a vital tool not only in the monitoring of treatment outcomes in patients on various modalities of therapy but also because it has been established to significantly influence morbidity and mortality. Both generic and disease-specific instruments have been used in the assessment of HRQOL in non hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients. In this study, we analyze two generic instruments - The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status Scaleand Health SurveyShort Form-36 (SF-36)in NHL patients receiving Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy. Objectives--- To find out the the correlation between SF-36 and ECOG scale in NHL patients receiving CHOP chemotherapy.
Materials and Methods ---Cross sectional research was conducted from October 2012 up to December 2013. Samples were selected consecutively to NHL patients that met the inclusion criteria. SF-36 and ECOG scale was assessed after CHOP chemotherapy cycle 6. Results---There were 21 patients of NHL, 12 male, 9 female, age 20 – 64 years old (mean 47.95 ± 10.85). The range score of SF-36: 23.9 – 95.9 (mean 75,3 ± 17,93). The range scale of ECOG 0 – 4 (mean 0,81 ± 1,12).By using Spearman correlation, we found a significant correlation between SF-36 and ECOG scale (r = - 0,744, p = 0,0001). SF-36 showed good diagnostic performance to predict good ECOG scale with cut-off≥54,66,with sensitivity 94,7%, specificity 100%, PPV 100%, NPV 66,67%, LR (+) ~, LR (-) 0,05, accuracy 95,23%, and AUC 98,7% (95% CI: 0% - 100%; p = 0,027).
Conclusion --- SF 36 correlates with ECOG scaleand has a very good diagnostic in predicting ECOG scale, therefore SF 36 can be used as an alternative choice in assessing quality of life in patients receiving CHOP chemotherapy .Latar Belakang --- Penilaian kualitas hidup telah menjadi peralatan yang vital,tidakhanyadalampemantauanhasilterapipadapasiendenganberbagaimodalitasterapi, tetapijugakarenatelahterbuktisecarasignifikanmempengaruhimorbiditasdanmortalitas.Baik instrumen yang bersifat umum maupun yang bersifat khusus telah digunakan dalam penilaian kualitas hidup pada pasien limfoma non hodgkin (LNH).

Bahan dan Cara --- Penelitian cross sectional dilakukan pada bulan Oktober 2012 hingga Desember 2013. Pengambilan sampel penelitian dilakukan secara consecutive sampling pada penderita LNH yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan tidak memenuhi kriteria eksklusi. Dilakukan penilaian kualitas hidup dengan menggunakan SF 36 dan skala ECOG setelah kemoterapi siklus keenam. Hasil --- Didapatkan 21 penderita LNH pada penelitian,12 pria, 9 wanita dengan rentang umur: 20 – 64 tahun (mean 47,95 ± 10,85), rentang skor SF-36: 23,9 – 95,9 (mean 75,31 ± 17,93), rentang skala ECOG 0 – 4 (mean 0,81 ± 1,12). Pada korelasi Spearman diperoleh korelasi yang signifikan antara SF-36 dengan skala ECOG (r = - 0,744, p = 0,0001). Dengan nilai cut-off ≥ 54,66SF-36 menunjukkan performa diagnostik yang baik untuk memprediksi skala ECOG yang baik dengan sensitifitas 94,7%, spesifisitas 100%, PPV 100%, NPV 66,67%, LR (+) ~, LR (-) 0,05, akurasi diagnostik 95,23%, dan AUC 98,7% (95% CI: 0% - 100%; p = 0,027). Kesimpulan ---SF 36 berkorelasi dengan skala ECOG dan memiliki diagnostik yang sangat baik dalam memprediksi skala ECOG, sehingga SF 36 dapat menjadi pilihan alternatif dalam menilai kualitas hidup pada pasien limfoma non hodgkin yang mendapat kemoterapi regimen CHOP.101 Halama
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.
