Scientometric analysis of the scientific relevance of the herpes simplex virus
No full textDas Herpes simplex Virus ist eines der ältesten Viren der Welt. Es tritt
ubiquitär auf. Durch Wechselwirkungen mit anderen, neueren Bürden der
Menschheit, wie zum Beispiel HIV, erhält das Thema neue Aktualität. Die
wissenschaftliche Forschung unterliegt einer ständigen Anpassung und
Entwicklung. Ergebnisse und Fortschritte werden heute vermehrt elektronisch
zugänglich gemacht und stehen einer wachsenden Anzahl von Wissenschaftlern in
Internetdatenbanken zur Verfügung. Im medizinischen Bereich haben sich vor
allem das Web of Science von Thomson Reuters (WoS) und die PubMed-Online
Datenbank der United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed) etabliert.
Die Publikationen zum Thema Herpes simplex werden in dieser Arbeit unter
bibliometrischen und szientometrischen Gesichtspunkten untersucht. Es wird das
gesamte Spektrum der Forschungsaktivität zum Thema Herpes simplex im Zeitraum
von 1900 bis 2007 betrachtet. Im WoS ergibt die Suchanfrage 29.324 Treffer,
während in PubMed 32.220 Treffer mit dem Suchbegriff „Herpes simplex“
verknüpft werden. Die Publikationen werden bezüglich ihres geographischen
Ursprungs im WoS analysiert und die Ergebnisse in einer Kartenanamorphote
dargestellt, einer gewichteten Verzerrung der Weltkarte. Die mit Abstand
meisten Veröffentlichungen stammen aus den USA (14.544), gefolgt von einigen
europäischen Staaten. Außerhalb von Europa und den USA sind Japan (1.886),
Kanada (1.229) und Australien (545) in der Herpes simplex Forschung aktiv.
Kooperationen werden ebenfalls untersucht. Englisch hat sich international als
Hauptwissenschaftssprache etabliert. 96,7% der Publikationen zum Thema Herpes
simplex im WoS erschienen in englischer Sprache und in englischen Journalen.
Die Muttersprache bleibt jedoch auf lokaler Ebene weiterhin relevant. Die
erwartete inhaltliche Ausrichtung der untersuchten Zeitschriften in Richtung
Virologie, Mikrobiologie, Immunologie und Infektologie wird durch die Analyse
bestätigt. Es konnten 15 verschiedene Veröffentlichungsarten identifiziert
werden. Der Originalartikel ist die häufigste Erscheinungsart (22.412).
Beteiligte Autoren wurden bezüglich ihrer Publikationszahl, der
Zitierungsanzahl und ihrer Zitationsrate untersucht. Die Untersuchung
bezüglich der Selbstzitierungsrate der besten neun Autoren ergab einen
durchschnittlichen Wert von 5,9%. Die Berücksichtigung der Erst- und
Seniorautorenschaft macht deutlich, dass es üblich ist, den Hauptteil
wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten als Seniorautor zu veröffentlichen. Die
thematische Analyse ergibt einen wissenschaftlichen Fokus auf die Erforschung
des Herpes genitalis und der HSV-Enzephalitis. Aciclovir ist das Therapeutikum
der ersten Wahl und wird daher rege untersucht. In der Diagnostik sind alte,
etablierte Methoden gängig, während die thematische Analyse zeigt, dass
dementgegen ein erhöhtes wissenschaftliches Interesse an der PCR als
Diagnosehilfsmittel vorhanden ist.The herpes simplex virus is one of the oldest known viruses of the world.
Herpes simplex viruses occur ubiquitously. Because of interaction with other
scourges of humanity, e.g. HIV, the topic remains relevant. Scientific
research is subject to constant adaption and development. Results and
progresses are increasingly made accessible electronically and are available
online for a growing number of scientists. Above all, the Web of Science by
Thomson Reuters (WoS) and the PubMed online database by the United States
National Library of Medicine (PubMed) have established themselves in the
medical sector. The publications to the topic herpes simplex are analysed
under bibliometric and scientometric aspects. The whole spectrum of research
to the topic herpes simplex in the time from 1900 to 2007 is examined. The
query in the WoS offers 29,324 hits, whereas it results in 32,220 hits in the
PubMed. The publications are analysed in the WoS with regard to their
geographic source and the results are illustrated in an anamorphic map, the
weighted distortion of the world map. It shows that most of the publications
originate from the USA (14,544); they are followed by publications from some
European states. Beyond Europe and the USA, publications from Japan (1,886),
Canada (1,229) and Australia (545) are relevant for the research of herpes
simplex. Cooperations are analysed, too. English has developed itself as the
main scientific language. 96.7% of the publications to the topic herpes
simplex in the WoS have appeared in the English language and in English
journals. The native language remains relevant at a regional level. As
expected, the focus of the best journals with regard to virology,
microbiology, immunology and infectology is confirmed by the analysis. The WoS
cites a total of 15 different forms of publication on herpes simplex. The
original article is the most common form of publication. Active authors are
analysed regarding their number of publications, number of citations and
citation rate. The analysis concerning the self citation rate of the nine most
active authors resulted in an average of 5.9%. Taking first and senior author
into consideration it becomes clear that it is common among the most active
authors to publish a main part of their research as senior authors. The
topical analysis shows a scientific focus on investigating herpes genitalis
and HSV-encephalitis. Aciclovir is first-line therapy and actively examined.
Established and current methods are used in diagnostics whereas the topical
analysis reveals that there is an increasing scientific interest in PCR as
supportive resource for diagnostics
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
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.
