    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    PENGGUNAAN MEDIA AUDIOVISUAL UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PENGETAHUAN PASIEN DAN KELUARGA TENTANG PENTINGNYA PATUH PUASA SEBELUM DILAKUKAN TINDAKAN ANESTESI DI RSUD dr. H. JUSUF SK TARAKAN

    Full text link
    Kesehatan merupakan kondisi yang memungkinkan setiap individu untuk hidup produktif secara sosial dan ekonomis. Dalam konteks pelayanan kesehatan, RSUD dr. H. Jusuf SK Provinsi Kalimantan Utara berupaya meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan melalui edukasi yang efektif. Salah satu tantangan yang dihadapi adalah kurangnya pengetahuan pasien dan keluarga mengenai pentingnya kepatuhan puasa sebelum tindakan anestesi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh penggunaan media audiovisual dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan pasien dan keluarga tentang kepatuhan puasa sebelum tindakan anestesi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah evaluasi inovasi melalui media audiovisual. Edukasi dilakukan dengan menayangkan video edukasi di ruang tunggu poli anestesi dan melakukan penyuluhan langsung kepada pasien dan keluarga. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan mengukur tingkat pengetahuan pasien sebelum dan setelah intervensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum intervensi, mayoritas pasien memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang rendah tentang pentingnya patuh puasa. Namun, setelah diberikan edukasi menggunakan media audiovisual, terdapat peningkatan signifikan dalam tingkat pengetahuan pasien dan keluarga. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa media audiovisual merupakan strategi yang efektif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran dan pemahaman pasien. Kesimpulan: Penggunaan media audiovisual dalam edukasi kesehatan terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan pasien dan keluarga tentang kepatuhan puasa sebelum tindakan anestesi. Oleh karena itu, disarankan untuk mengintegrasikan penggunaan media audiovisual dalam program pendidikan kesehatan di RSUD dr. H. Jusuf SK untuk meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan
