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
Symptom Burden and Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
No full textAbstract: Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with highly prevalence, disability, and mortality was a common health problem worldwide. And the COPD patients experienced seriously symptom and disease burden, as well as poor health-related quality of life (HQOL). The aims of this study were to describe the prevalence of symptoms, symptom burden and HQOL, and examine the relationship between the symptom burden and HQOL.
Methods: 197 hospitalized patients with COPD (mean (SD) age 68.12 (10.41) years) were recruited between December 2016 and November 2017. The symptom was assessed using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS), including four subscales: the psychological (MSAS-PSYCH) subscale, the physiological (MSAS-PHYS), the global distress index (MSAS-GDI), and the MSAS total score (TMSAS). The HQOL was evaluated by Chinese version of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ).
Results: The patients reported multiple symptoms with a median number of 7.00. The commonly reported symptoms were dry mouth, cough, shortness of breath, and lack of energy, and the psychological symptom included difficulty sleeping, worrying, feeling sad, feeling irritable, difficulty concentrating, and feeling nervous. The medians for the MSAS- PSYCH, MSAS-PHYS, MSAS-GDI, and TMSAS were 0.44, 0.47, 0.60, and 0.41, respectively. And the CCQ had moderate score. There were association between impaired quality of life and symptom burden (number of MSAS symptoms, MSAS-PHYS, MSAS-PSYCH, MSAS-GDI, the TMAS) (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: The overall moderate symptom burden and poor HQOL suggests that detailed multidimensional symptom assessments are warranted in the care of COPD inpatients, with the purpose of focusing on severe and distressing symptoms in order to improve symptom management and reduce symptom burden progression.
Keywords: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; symptom; symptom burden, quality of life.

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
