Distribution of type-I interferon-receptors in human first trimester and term placental tissues and on isolated trophoblast cells
PROBLEM: Type-I interferon (IFN) is the protein recognizing pregnancy in ruminants. Although IFN is secreted in early pregnancy, its role is not still clear in other species. Like other cytokines, IFN exerts its biological functions through specific membrane receptors. We have investigated the potential action of IFN in human pregnancy by studying the distribution of the receptors in the human placenta. METHOD: Reactivity to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the type-I IFN-receptor (R) was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in human placental tissues and in cytospins of first trimester trophoblast cells. RESULTS: Type-I IFN-R immunoreactivity was observed mostly in first trimester villous cytotrophoblasts and in the cytotrophoblast cell columns. Trophoblast in the decidua, the epithelium of the uterine glands, and most of the isolated trophoblast cells were also immunoreactive. CONCLUSION: The expression of type-I IFN-R in the highly proliferating and migrating trophoblast suggests that this cytokine has a role in trophoblast growth and invasion

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
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
