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

No full textBu araştırma, ilk kez sezeryan olacak gebeler ile daha önce sezeryan olmuş gebelerin endişeleri ve ağrı inançlarına etki eden etmenlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmanın örneklemini, Ocak-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Zeynep Kamil Kadın ve Çocuk Hastalıkları Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde ilk kez sezeryan olacak 123 gebe ve mükerer sezeryan olacak 121 gebe olmak üzere 244 gebe oluşturmuştur. Veriler, 'Kişisel Bilgi Formu' ,'Endişe Şiddeti Ölçeği' (EŞÖ) ve 'Ağrı İnançları Ölçeği' (AİÖ) ile elde edilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, sayı ve yüzde hesaplamaları, Kruskall-Wallis testi, Mann Whitney U testi, Spearman Korelasyonanalizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan gebelerden primer sezeryan olanların %76,5'i sezeryan korkusu yaşarken; mükerrer sezeryan olacakların %23,5'inin sezeryan korkusu yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Primer sezeryan olacak gebelerin AİÖ toplam puanı 54,57±9,07 iken; mükerrer sezeryan olacak olanların toplam puanı 53,14±7,13 olarak belirlenmiştir. Primer sezeryan olacak gebelerin EŞÖ toplam puanı 14,18±4,70 iken; mükerrer sezeryan olacakların toplam puanı ise 11,00±5,69 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sezeryan olacak gebelerin sezeryan sayısı ile EŞÖ ve AİÖ-O arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Gebelerin ağrı inançları ölçeği 'organik inançlar' alt boyutu ile EŞÖ arasında pozitif yönde, zayıf derecede ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir (r=0,232 p:0,000). Gebelerin AİÖ ile EŞÖ arasında pozitif yönde, zayıf derecede ve istatiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir (r=0,239 p:0,000). Bu çalışma sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde; hastaların inançları doğrultusunda farmakolojik olmayan yöntemler bakım sürecine katılmalı, uygun ve yeterli bilgilendirme yapılarak gebelerin endişe seviyeleri azaltılmalıdır.This research was carried out in the design of the formation that affects the concerns and pain beliefs of pregnant women who will have a cesarean for the first time and those who have had a previous cesarean section. The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 244 pregnant women, 123 pregnant women who will have a first cesarean section and 121 pregnant women who will have a repeat cesarean section at Istanbul Zeynep Kamil Gynecology and Pediatrics Training and Research Hospital between January and March 2021. The data were obtained with the 'Personal Information Form', 'Worry Domains Que ' (WDQ) and the ' The Pain Beliefs Questionnaire' (PBQ). Number and percentage calculations, Kruskall-Wallis test, Mann Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. While 76.5% of the pregnant women who had primary cesarean section were afraid of cesarean section; It has been determined that 23.5% of those who will have a repeat cesarean section have a fear of cesarean section. While the total PBQ score of the pregnant women who will have a primary cesarean section is 54.57±9.07; The total score of those who will have a repeat cesarean section was determined as 53.14±7.13. While the total score of WDQ of the pregnant women who will have a primary cesarean section is 14.18±4.70; The total score of those who will have a repeat cesarean section was determined as 11.00±5.69. A significant difference was found between the number of cesarean section of pregnant women who will have cesarean section, and the WDQ and PBQ-O (p<0.05). A positive, weak, and statistically significant relationship was found between the 'organic beliefs' sub-dimension of the pregnant women's pain beliefs questionnaire and the WDQ (r=0.232 p:0.000). A positive, weak, and statistically significant relationship was found between the PBQ and the WDQ of the pregnant women (r=0.239 p:0.000). When the results of this study are evaluated; Non-pharmacological methods should be included in the care process in line with patients' beliefs, and anxiety levels of pregnant women should be reduced by providing appropriate and adequate information
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.
