    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    No full text
    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

    No full text
    Vor dem Hintergrund der gestiegenen medizinischen und sozioökonomischen Relevanz von Akupunktur und Laserakupunktur werden im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit Anwendungsfelder und Forschungsperspektiven in der präventiven und rehabilitativen Sportmedizin skizziert. Hierzu zählen insbesondere die Therapie von Sportverletzungen und Sportschäden, die Steigerung der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit, die Unterstützung und Förderung der Regeneration sowie die Vorbeugung von belastungsinduziertem Asthma. Aufbauend auf den aktuellen Forschungsstand werden eigene Originalarbeiten vorgestellt, die sich mit der Evaluation spezifischer Effekte der Akupunktur und Laserakupunktur befassen.Against the background of the increasing medical and socioeconomic importance of acupuncture and laser acupuncture, the present work aims at outlining scientific and practical applications in fields related to preventive and rehabilitative sports medicine. These include, in particular, the treatment of acute and chronic sports injuries, the enhancement of physical performance, the promotion of recovery, as well as the prevention of exercise-induced asthma. Based on current research, the author presents his original investigations dealing with specific effects of acupuncture and laser acupuncture

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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
