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
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
IMPLEMENTASI SELF-CARE REGULATION MODEL PADA PASIEN DENGAN STROKE ISKEMIK DI RUMAH SAKIT TK II PUTRI HIJAU MEDAN
No full textStroke masih menjadi penyebab utama disabilitas global, dengan stroke iskemik mendominasi kasus. Di Indonesia, tingginya angka kejadian menyoroti kebutuhan intervensi efektif, terutama karena defisit perawatan diri akibat hemiparesis sering membuat pasien bergantung. Untuk mengatasi ini, Self-Care Regulation Model (SCRM) hadir sebagai strategi keperawatan yang memberdayakan pasien agar lebih mandiri. Studi kuasi-eksperimental ini dilaksanakan dari Januari hingga Juni 2025 di Rumah Sakit Tk II Putri Hijau, melibatkan 30 pasien stroke iskemik rawat inap yang sadar penuh, bersedia menjadi responden, dan berusia 40-70 tahun. Pasien dengan kondisi medis lain yang memengaruhi penelitian dieksklusi. Intervensi SCRM, yang meliputi pelatihan berpakaian, makan, dan mobilisasi tempat tidur, secara signifikan meningkatkan skor Barthel Indeks rata-rata dari 45.2±12.8 menjadi 68.7±10.5 (p<0.001). Peningkatan 23.5 poin ini secara klinis berarti pergeseran dari ketergantungan sedang menjadi kemandirian ringan atau minimal. Klasifikasi Barthel Indeks juga menunjukkan perubahan positif: tidak ada lagi pasien yang sangat bergantung, hanya 16.7% yang bergantung berat, sementara mayoritas (66.7%) menjadi bergantung sedang, 13.3% bergantung ringan, dan 3.3% bahkan mencapai kemandirian penuh. Temuan kualitatif turut mendukung, menunjukkan peningkatan efikasi diri, pengetahuan adaptif, koping, serta dukungan sosial dan lingkungan. Singkatnya, implementasi SCRM terbukti efektif meningkatkan kemandirian fungsional pada pasien stroke iskemik. Stroke remains a leading cause of global disability, with ischemic stroke accounting for the majority of cases. In Indonesia, the high incidence highlights the need for effective interventions, especially since self-care deficits due to hemiparesis often leave patients dependent. To address this, the Self-Care Regulation Model (SCRM) emerges as a nursing strategy empowering patients to become more independent. This quasi-experimental study was conducted from January to June 2025 at Tk II Putri Hijau Hospital. It involved 30 hospitalized ischemic stroke patients who were fully conscious, willing participants, and aged 40-70 years. Patients with other medical conditions that could influence the study were excluded. The SCRM intervention, which included training in dressing, eating, and bed mobilization, significantly increased the average Barthel Index score from 45.2±12.8 to 68.7±10.5 (p<0.001). This 23.5-point increase clinically signifies a shift from moderate dependence to mild or minimal independence. Barthel Index classifications also showed positive changes: no patients were severely dependent post-intervention, only 16.7% remained heavily dependent, while the majority (66.7%) became moderately dependent, 13.3% mildly dependent, and 3.3% even achieved full independence. Qualitative findings further supported these results, indicating improved self-efficacy, adaptive knowledge, coping mechanisms, and enhanced social and environmental support. In summary, the implementation of SCRM proved effective in significantly improving functional independence in ischemic stroke patients
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.
