Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
சூழலியல் நோக்கில் சூல் நாவல் கூறும் சமூக மாற்றங்கள் Social Changes in Ecological Perspective as Portrayed in the Novel Sool
No full text<p><i>Early Tamil society was a hunting society. Man used to hunt animals for food and look for food available in nature. Later, he engaged in animal husbandry, created pasture lands and found a decent life. History tells us that it was only when he invented agriculture that established a sustainable life along the river banks in ancient Tamil Nadu. Towns, human life and civilization developed where water was found. As the urban civilization developed on the banks of rivers, the "Sool" novel suggests that villages developed on the banks of Kanmai (Lake). The life of South Tamil Nadu farmers intertwined with agriculture, their moral beliefs, the conservation of plants and trees to protect the banks of the lake, the cultivation of Palm trees, natural knowledge about birds that predict the amount of breeding in advance and build nests can be seen in this novel. There was a belief among the people that to atone for their sins, those who had sinned should make amends by consolidating and benefiting nature, such as protecting water bodies, rearing goats and cows, and growing trees. In the villages, there are deities like Ayyanar and Karuppasamy in Kanmaikarai (Bay of the Lakes) to protect the town, and we can learn the story of Neer Paichi, the guardian deity who came to life to protect the water bodies. Cho. Dharman's "Sool" strongly recorded in the novel that water levels are the world's life-carrying "Sool" (feutus). But in today's era, the state of agricultural industry has been in a very bad state due to the lack of proper water supply and management and the reduced maintenance of the dams and selfishness.</i></p>

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
