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
Significado que tienen terapeutas y profesores sobre la integración escolar del niño autista
No full textEn la presente investigación se realiza una revisión que incluye inicialmente la definición de significado de autismo y sus características, posteriormente se enuncian y se definen los modelos: Cognocitivista - Comportamental, Aprendizaje Significativo y el modelo Ecológico de Bronfrenbrenner, y a partir de estos modelos dar una explicación del desarrollo del ser humano y una perspectiva de las personas con discapacidad; luego se describen los conceptos de necesidades educativas especiales e integración escolar; además se tienen en cuenta los planteamientos de la Ley General de Educación y se mencionan los aspectos más relevantes para la preparación escolar del niño autista, teniendo presente la capacitación de los profesionales que están a cargo de los niños autistas, y por último se aborda el tema de las prácticas educativas.(Resumen por el autor

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
Descripción del desempeño en flexibilidad cognitiva, planeación y memoria de trabajo en niños con diagnóstico de tdah en una institución prestadora de servicios de salud de Bogotá, 2016
No full textEl objetivo del presente estudio consistió en describir el desempeño en flexibilidad cognitiva, planeación y memoria de trabajo como parte de las funciones ejecutivas, en un grupo de niños entre 8 y 14 años con diagnóstico de TDAH en una institución prestadora de servicios de salud en la ciudad de Bogotá D.C. La muestra se conformó por conveniencia contando con un total de 15 niños (5 niñas y 10 niños) para luego realizar el proceso de evaluación teniendo en cuenta las siguientes pruebas: Wisconsin, Test de copia de la figura compleja de Rey, Pirámide de México y subpruebas del WISC-IV con las que se estableció el índice de memoria de trabajo. Así mismo, la investigación contó con un diseño descriptivo. Dentro de los resultados, se logró identificar que los mayores niveles de desempeño en todas las funciones ejecutivas, se encontraban dentro del rango de edad de la adolescencia (flexibilidad cognitiva media=9.4%, planeación visoconstruccional media=33.3, planeación manipulativa media=55.5 y memoria de trabajo media=8.0) y que la memoria de trabajo es la que menos se encontró desarrollada al finalizar la niñez y entrar la adolescencia (media de la muestra=7.1 comparada con la media esperada=10), lo cual podría vislumbrarse como la más tardía en desarrollarse para la muestra de niños diagnosticados con TDAH.The aim of this study was to describe the performance in cognitive flexibility, planning and working memory as part of the executive functions in a group of children between 8 and 14 years diagnosed with ADHD in an institution providing health services in the Bogota DC The sample was made for convenience with a total of 15 children (5 girls and 10 boys) and then make the evaluation process taking into account the following tests: Wisconsin, test copy of complex figure of Rey, Pyramid of Mexico and WISC-IV subtests with which the working memory index was established. Likewise, research had a descriptive design. Among the results, it was identified that the highest levels of performance in all executive functions were within the age range of adolescence (cognitive flexibility mean = 9.4%, planning visoconstructional mean = 33.3, planning manipulative mean = 55.5 and memory mean = 8.0) work and working memory is the least found developed at the end of childhood and enter adolescence (sample mean = 7.1 compared to the expected = 10 average), which could be envisaged as the later to be developed for the sample of children diagnosed with ADHD.MaestríaMagíster en Neuropsicología Clínic
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
