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
Transgender person´s experiences in healthcare : a literature review
No full textBakgrund: Transpersoner är en utsatt grupp som har större risk att drabbas av diskriminering, hot och våld än andra minoritetsgrupper. Det leder till konsekvenser i transpersoners välmående, psykiska och fysiska hälsa samt i det sociala livet. Diskrimineringen visar sig i sämre tillgång till resurser i samhället som till exempel arbets- och bostadsmarknaden, rättsliga skydd och svårigheter att få försäkringar. Även diskriminering i form av fysiskt och verbal misshandel. Diskrimineringen leder till bland annat psykisk ohälsa, hälsoskadliga beteende, isolering och minoritetsstress hos transpersonerna. Syfte: Att beskriva transpersoners upplevelser i hälso- och sjukvården Metod: En litteraturöversikt av tio kvalitativa respektive kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna beskrev transpersoners upplevelser i hälso- och sjukvården. Resultat: Litteraturöversiktens resultat visade att transpersoner upplevde brister i vårdpersonalens bemötande i form av kunskapsbrist som resulterade till bristande kommunikation och feltolkningar. Resultat bestod av två huvudteman: Diskriminering relaterad till transpersoners könsidentitet och Vårdpersonalens kunskapsbrist. Diskrimineringen inom hälso- och sjukvården visade sig i form av ojämlik eller nekad vård och kunde leda till att transpersoner sköt upp eller avstod från att söka vård fastän behovet fanns. Kunskapsbristen resulterade ofta i att transpersonerna fick undervisa vårdpersonalen. Att få sin könsidentitet erkänd och respekterad av vårdpersonalen var viktigt för transpersonerna. Slutsats: Det är viktigt att uppmärksamma transpersoners upplevelser i hälso- och sjukvården. Det ökar vårdpersonalens medvetenhet om hur transpersoner upplever hälso- och sjukvården och hur deras upplevelser kan förbättras vilket kan leda till godare vård och bättre hälsa för transpersoner
Patients' experiences of self-care in hypertension : A literature review with a systematic approach
No full textBakgrund: Hypertoni är ett vanligt och allvarligt globalt hälsoproblem samt en betydande riskfaktor för hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Trots att det finns effektiva behandlingar följer många patienter inte sina behandlingsrekommendationer, vilket leder till bristande blodtryckskontroll och ökade hälsorisker. Egenvård, inklusive livsstilsförändringar som kost, motion och medicinering, spelar en avgörande roll i hanteringen av hypertoni. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka patienters erfarenheter av egenvård vid hypertoni. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med systematisk ansats genomfördes baserad på 15 kvalitativa studier hämtade från databaserna CINAHL Complete, PubMed och Nursing & Allied Health Premium.De valda sökorden som speglar litteraturöversiktens syfte enligt PEO-modellen var: patient, experience, self-care och hypertension. En tematisk analys utfördes enligt metoden som beskrivs av Thomas & Harden (2008). Resultat: Resultaten visar att olika faktorer påverkar patienters förmåga att genomföra egenvård. Hinder inkluderar psykologiska svårigheter, bristande sjukdomsinsikt, känslomässiga reaktioner, sociala utmaningar och otillräckligt stöd från vårdgivare och anhöriga. Samtidigt kan stöd från omgivningen, ökad kunskap och goda relationer förbättra följsamheten och främja egenvården över tid. Slutsats: Egenvård vid behandling av hypertoni påverkas av en rad individuella, sociala och miljömässiga faktorer. För att förbättra följsamhet och hälsoutfall är det viktigt att utveckla insatser som tar hänsyn till dessa faktorer och aktivt stödjer patienter i att genomföra nödvändiga och varaktiga livsstilsförändringar. Distriktssköterskan har en central funktion i det hälsofrämjande och sjukdomsförebyggande arbetet inom primärvården. Genom att genomföra kvalificerade bedömningar, planera, genomföra, och utvärdera vårdinsatser kan distriktssköterskan stödja patienter i att stärka deras egenvårdsförmåga och därmed förbättra behandlingsresultat vid hypertoni.Background: Hypertension is a common and serious global health issue and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although effective treatments exist, many patients fail to follow their treatment regimens, which results in poor blood pressure control and increased health risks. Selfcare, including lifestyle changes, plays a crucial role in hypertension management. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to explore patients’ experiences of self-care in managing hypertension. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted based on 15 qualitative studies retrieved from CINAHL Complete, PubMed and Nursing & Allied Health Premium. Keywords reflecting the aim of the literature review were selected using the PEO model: patient, experience, self-care and hypertension. A thematic analysis was carried out, following the method described by Thomas & Harden (2008). Results: The results show that various factors influence patients' ability to perform self-care, such as psychological barriers, social support, disease awareness, and access to healthcare. Barriers to treatment adherence include lack of knowledge, emotional reactions, social challenges and limited support from healthcare providers and family members. However, support, motivation and better understanding of the disease can improve adherence and strengthen patients’ self-care efforts over time. Conclusions: In conclusion, self-care in hypertension is influenced by a variety of individual, social and environmental factors. To improve adherence and health outcomes, it is important to develop interventions that consider these factors and actively support patients in making necessary and lasting lifestyle changes. District nurses play a key role in health promotion and disease prevention in primary care. By conducting thorough assessments, planning, implementing and evaluating care measures, district nurses can support patients in strengthen their self-care ability and thereby improve outcomes in hypertension management.
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
