    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    Primary hypertension with unknown cause is called idiopathic hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in women tends to be higher (52.23%) than that in men (47.77%). The objective of the research was to analyze some factors which influenced primary hypertension inpatients in the Polyclinic of RS Meuraxa, Banda Aceh. The research was observational analytic with case control study design by using retrospective approach. The population was all primary hypertension patients in the Outpatient Polyclinic, and 53 of them were used as the samples in case group and the other 53 of them were in control group. The data were gathered by using questionnaires and analyzed by using univatriate analysis, bivatriate analysis with chi square test, and multivatriate analysis with multiple logistic regression analysis, presented descriptively in the form of narration. The result of the research showed that there was significant influence of salt intake (p = 0.006 and OR = 3.227)O, physical activity (p = 0.019 and OR = 0.3), obesity (p = 0.032 and OR = 2.522), while eating pattern did not any significant influence (OR in moderate eating pattern = 0.339), and sparse eating pattern = 1.636).The result of multivatriate analysis showed that the variable of salt intake had the most dominant influence on the incidence of primary hypertension (O = 3.5). It is recommended that prevention from primary hypertension should be done as early as possible, especially in the group of people who have the risk factor. They should avoid high salt intake and eating patter which causes primary hypertension. Those who have the history of hypertension should examine regularly in order to detect the possibility of being affected by primary hypertension as early as possible. Those who have the risk factor should do healthy life like physical activity regularly and prevent from further complication.Hipertensi primer merupakan penyakit yang tidak diketahui penyebabnya, atau disebut hipertensi idiopatik. Prevalensi hipertensi perempuan cenderung lebih tinggi yakni 52,23% dibandingkan laki-laki 47,77%. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi hipertensi primer pada pasien rawat jalan di poli dalam Rumah Sakit Umum Meuraxa Kota Banda Aceh. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan rancangan case control study dengan menggunakan pendekatan retrospektif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua pasien hipertensi primer yang berobat pada bagian rawat jalan di poli dalam. Sampelnya adalah 53 kasus dan 53 kontrol. Pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Dianalisa secara univariat, bivariat dengan chi square test, multivariat dengan metode regresi logistik ganda serta di lakukan analisis secara deskriptif di sajikan dalam bentuk narasi. Hasil penelitian terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan asupan garam (p=0,006 dan OR=3,227). Aktivitas fisik (p=0,019 dan OR=0,3). Obesitas (p=0,032 dan OR=2,522). Sedangkan pola makan tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan (Nilai OR pada pola makan sedang=0,339 dan pola makan jarang=1,636). Hasil analisa multivariat variabel asupan garam yang paling dominan berpengaruh terjadinya hipertensi primer (OR=3,5). Perlunya melakukan pencegahan sedini mungkin terhadap terjadinya penyakit hipertensi primer terutama pada masyarakat yang memiliki faktor risiko dengan menghindari asupan garam yang tinggi mnejaga pola makan yang dapat menyebabkan risiko hipertensi primer. Pada masyarakat yang mempunyai riwayat hipertensi supaya melakukan pemeriksaan secara rutin sehingga dapat mendeteksi sedini mungkin terjadinya hipertensi primer. Pada masyarakat yang memiliki faktor risiko supaya menjalani pola hidup yang sehat, seperti melakukan aktifitas fisik secara rutin, menghindari stress untuk mencegah timbulnya komplikasi lebih lanjut.163 HalamanTesis Magiste

    We 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 text
    In 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.
