Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
ENSIHOITAJAOPISKELIJOIDEN SUORIUTUMISEN JA SIMULAATION ONNISTUMISEN ARVIOINTI ENSIHOIDON PERUSTASON HARJOITUSVIIKOLLA
Full text linkOpinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli tutkia Kymenlaakson ammattikorkeakoulun ensihoitajaopiskelijoiden suoriutumista simuloiduissa pienryhmäharjoituksissa sekä simulaation onnistumista ja siihen yhteydessä olevia tekijöitä. Tutkimus toteutettiin ensihoidon opintoihin kuuluvalla perustason harjoitusviikolla helmikuussa 2010. Tutkimukseen osallistui 21 ensihoitajaopiskelijaa ja kolme ohjaajaa.
Pienryhmäharjoituksissa tutkittiin opiskelijoiden suoriutumista ensiarviosta, tarkennetusta tilanarviosta sekä hoitotoimenpiteistä harjoituksen ohjaajien täyttämillä arviointilomakkeilla. Kyseisten osa-alueiden arvioinnin apuna käytettiin kirjallisuudesta nousseita kriteereitä, kuten rannesykkeen tunnustelu, verenpaineen mittaus sekä lääkehoito. Simulaation onnistumista tutkittiin kartoittamalla ensihoitajaopiskelijoiden mielipiteitä pienryhmäharjoitusten oppimisen edistävyydestä, simulaation toteutuksesta ja todenmukaisuudesta sekä ohjaajan ja opiskelijan roolista. Opiskelijat täyttivät simulaation onnistumista arvioivan kyselylomakkeen tutkittavien harjoitusrastien jälkeen. Tutkittavat ensihoidon pienryhmäharjoitusrastit olivat astma, puukotus, putoaminen, rintakipu, tajuttomuus, keuhkoödeema sekä hypoglykemia. Tutkimuksen ohessa pyrimme pohtimaan, onko hyvin tai huonosti onnistuneella simulaatiolla yhteyttä harjoituksessa toimivien suoriutumiseen.
Tutkimusaineisto analysoitiin manuaalisesti taulukoimalla PASW Statistics 18. tilastoohjelmaa apuna käyttäen. Tulokset on esitetty sekä frekvenssein että prosenttiosuuksin. Lisäksi jokaisen rastin tuloksista on koottu yhteenvetokappale, joiden havainnollistamiseksi on käytetty kuvaajia.
Tutkimustulokset osoittivat, että ensihoitajaopiskelijat suoriutuivat pienryhmäharjoituksissa kohtuullisen hyvin. Opiskelijoiden suoriutumisessa oli eroa riippuen siitä, mikä rasti oli kyseessä. Eniten puutteita opiskelijoiden suoriutumisessa oli tarkennetussa tilanarviossa. Pienryhmäharjoitusten simulaation onnistuminen koettiin useimmiten erittäin hyväksi. Simulaation onnistumisen osalta eniten negatiivista palautetta esiintyi simulaation toteutuksessa ja todenmukaisuudessa. Tulokset eivät ole yleistettäviä, mutta niistä on havaittavissa, että hyvin tai huonosti onnistuneella simulaatiolla on yhteyttä suoriutumiseen. Opinnäytetyön tuloksena syntyi malli siitä, miten simuloituja harjoituksia voidaan tutkia.The objective of this study was to examine the success of emergency nurse students at Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences in simulated smallgroup exercises as well as the success of the simulation and related factors. The research was carried out during the basic level practice week related to emergency care studies in February 2010. The study involved 21 emergency nurse students and three supervisors.
In the smallgroup exercises the students' performance in initial assessment, a more detailed physical assessment and carrying out nursing procedures were recorded on evaluation forms by the supervisors. When evaluating these areas, criteria from literature including the palpation of the wrist pulse, taking blood pressure and giving medical treatment were utilized. The success of the simulation was studied by collecting the emergency nurse students' opinions on the effectiveness of small group learning, the implementation and realisticiousness of the simulation and the roles of the student and the supervisor. After the exercise cases, the students filled in an evaluation form concerning the success of the simulation. The studied emergency care cases were asthma, stabbing, falling, chest pain, unconsciousness, pulmonary edema and hypoglycemia. One aspect of this research was to consider whether there was a connection between the performance of the students and the quality of the simulation.
The research results were tabulated for manual analysis by using PASW Statistics 18 statistical software. The results are presented in both frequencies and percentages. In addition, a summary paragraph with graphical illustrations is presented for each exercise case.
The results show that the emergency care students managed reasonably well in the small group exercises. The students' performance varied depending on the exercise case. Most of the weaknesses in the students' performances concerned the area of detailed physical assessment. The simulation within a small group was found to be very successful in most cases. The majority of the negative feedback on the success of the simulation dealt with the implementation and authenticity of the exercise. It was observed that the performance of the students is affected by the quality of the simulation, although this finding cannot be generalized. As an outcome of this study, a model for investigating simulated exercise cases was put forward
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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.
