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
TÜRKİYEDE 2007 YILI SON ALTI AYINDA GERÇEKLESTİRİLEN NEONATAL RESÜSİTASYON PROGRAMI UYGULAYICI EĞİTİMLERİNDE KATILIMCI BASARISI DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
No full textArastırmamız, ülkemizde gerçeklestirilen NRP eğitimlerinin
katılımcılarda olusturduğu bilgi değisikliği ve katılımcı basarısına etki eden
faktörleri ölçmek amacıyla yapılmıs tanımlayıcı tipte bir çalısmadır.
Arastırma kapsamına 2007 yılı ikinci yarısında Türkiye genelinde yapılan
NRP uygulayıcı kurslarına katılan 1411 sağlık personeli alınmıstır.
Arastırmada kurslar sırasında elektronik ve basılı olarak
hazırlanan Kurs Raporu dosyaları kullanılmıstır. Kurs raporlarından
meslekleri, uzmanlıkları, çalıstıkları yerler ve cinsiyetleri ön test, son test,
bölüm sonu sınavları, sertifika sınavı ve uygulama sınavı puanları ve ön
test ve son test yanıtları alınmıstır.
Arastırma sonuçlarına göre katılımcıların %98,5’inin
basarıyla tamamladığı kurslarda; ön test ve son test basarı puanları
arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Hem ön test basarısı hem de
ön test son test basarıları arasındaki değisim, meslekleri, görev yerleri ve
cinsiyetleri açısından farklılıklar göstermektedir.
Katılımcıların ön testte en basarılı olduğu konu “Preterm
Bebek” konusu (8. ders) olurken bunu; “Canlandırmaya Genel Bakıs ve
İlkeler” (1. ders), “Baslangıç Basamakları” (2. ders), “Kompresyon” (4.
ders), “Özel Durumlar” (7.ders), “Đlaçlar” (6. ders), “Ventilasyon” (3. ders)
ve son olarak da “Entübasyon” (5. ders) izlemektedir. Son testte ise
konular; 6. ders, 8. ders, 1. ders, 4. ders, 2. ders, 3. ders ve 7. ders olarak
sıralanmıstır.
Bölüm sonu sınavlarına göre katılımcıların en yüksek
basarıyı gösterdiği ders 4. ders olmustur. Kalan dersler sırasıyla 7. ders, 8.
ders, 6. ders, 2. ders, 1. ders ve 5. ders olarak dizilirken, en az basarı
gösterilen ders 3. derstir.
Kursun genel değerlendirmesi ve sertifikasyon için yapılan
sertifika ve uygulama sınavlarında basarı ortalamaları sırası ile 94,8±4,7
ve 95,5±4,5 olarak bulunmustur. Bu skorlar HDSP grubu ve hekim grubu
arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir ve her iki
sınavda da hekim grubu daha basarılıdır.
Arastırma kapsamında eğitime alınan sağlık personelinde
istenilen yönde bilgi değisimi sağlandığı ve gerekli becerilerin
kazandırıldığı saptanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, NRP uygulamalarının
daha iyi ölçülebilmesi için, edinilen bilgi ve becerilerin eğitimden bir süre
sonra tekrar değerlendirilmesinin yararlı olacağı açıktır.This is a descriptive study which aims to measure factors
affecting change in knowledge and success of trainees during the NRP
courses organized in Turkey. The study covers 1411 health professionals
that attended the NRP courses held across the country in the second half
of 2007.
The Course Reports prepared in electronic and print copies
during the courses were used for the purpose of this study. Data utilized
include profession, specialty, place of work and gender of each participant,
scores of pretest, posttest, end-of-session tests, certificate test and
practicum test and answers of pretests and posttests.
The results of the study suggest that 98.5% of participants
successfully finished the courses and that there are statistically significant
differences between scores of the pretest and posttest. Success levels in
both pre- and posttest very significantly for trainees depending on
professions, place of work and gender.
Participants were most successful in the topic “Preterm
Neonate” (Session 8). This was followed by “Overview and Principles of
Resuscitation” (Session 1), “Initial Steps” (Session 2), “Compression”
(Session 4), “Special Circumstances” (Session 7), “Drugs” (Session 6),
“Ventilation” (Session 3) and “Intubation” (Session 5). The ranking in the
posttest is Session 6, Session 8, Session 1, Session 4, Session 2,
Session 3 and Session 7.
In the end-of-session tests, the participants were most
successful in Session 4. This was followed by Session 7, Session 8,
Session 6, Session 2, Session 1 and Session 5 respectively. The session
participants scored lowest was Session 3.
The averages of success in certificate and practicum
examinations which were held for overall course evaluation and
certification were 94.8±4.7 and 95.5±4.5 respectively. The scores are
statistically significant between groups A and B. Group B scored higher in
both examinations.
It was observed that the participants have acquired the
intended change in knowledge the needed skills. Yet, it is clear that it will
be useful to reevaluate knowledge and skills after a certain period of time
in order to better measure NRP practices
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.
