Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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

Gambling on the Sabbath Day
"I don't know; this song has just been handed down in the family, and
I've heard it all my life; but now to give you the author and where
it started, I couldn't do it."
A poor unworthy boy who dares to disregard his father's care;
Who loves to see his sister's tears, and scorns to hear his mother's prayer.
From good advice he turned away; from cards to dice he learned to play;
At last his comrade he did slay, while gambling on the Sabbath Day.
His poor old mother standing by, to hear him tell the reason why
Her son in prison had to lie, till on the gallows he must die.
His poor old father, sixty years of age, the best of counsel did engage
To try and see what could be done to save his disobedient son.
Oh, nothing could the counsel do, the testimony was so true;
'Twas he the bloody weapon drew and pierced his conrade's body through.
Oh darling sister, do not weep, for soon with demons I must sleep,
And on the gallows I must pay for gambling on the Sabbath Day.
To hear him on the gallows tell his weeping mother, "Fare you well;
My soul now fills its flight to hell, and soon with demons I must dwell."
The sheriff cut the slender cord; his soul want out to meet its Lord;
And from his body his spirit fled; the doctor said, "The wretch is dead."
His poor old mother cried aloud that might save this gazing crowd;
That they may never be cast away for gambling on the Sabbath Day.
Mr. Lewis Bedingfield—The version in our country had a verse or two, one
that went:
Oh, who can tell a mother's thought
When first to her the news is brought,
"The sheriff says your son is sought
And into prison must be bought (correct);
And on the gallows he must pay
For gambling on the Sabbath Day.
Mr. Bedingfield, continuing—This other verse was:
Only a mother standing by
To hear him tell the reason why
That long in prison her son must lie
Until on the gallows he must die.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

Sam Bass
Sam Bass was born in Indian-o
It was his native home
When at the age of seventeen
Young Sam began to roam
He first came out to Texas
A teamster for to be
A kind hearted fellow
You seldom ever see
Sam used to deal in race stock
One called the Denton Mare
He matched her in scrub races
And took her to the fair
Sam had four bold companions
Four bold and daring lads
Jim Murphy, Jackson Underwood,
Joe Collins or Ole Dan
Four more bold and reckless cowboys
The Wild West never knew
They whipped the Texas Rangers
Then they chased the boys in blue
They left the old Collins ranch
In the merry month of May
With a herd of Texas cattle
A black hill for to see
But they set off to Custer City
And then got on a spree
And a tougher set of cowboys
You seldom ever see
Sam rounded up his partners
And got’em out of jail
Then robbed the train from Leavensworth
Then hit the Chisholm Trail
They rode right back to Texas
All right-side up with caresSam rode right into Denton
And his old friends met him there
Sam’s life was short in Texas
Three robberies he did do
He robbed the Longview passenger
Of mail and express too
Yes his life was short in Texas
They robbed the U.P. train
Then split up in couples
And started out again
Joe Collins and his partner
Were overtaken soon
With all their hard earned money
They had to meet their doom
Jack Underwood was captured
And then released on bail
He jumped his bond at Tyler
And hit the Tarro[?] Trail
Major Jones imposted him
And that was all a stall
It was a plan to capture Sam
Before the coming fall
Sam met another companion
Called Arkansas for short
Who borrowed Sam’s good gold
And didn’t want to pay
The only chance he saw to win
Was to give poor Sam away
Sam Bass was killed at Round Rock
July the twenty-first
The filled poor Sam with bullets
Sam emptied out his purse
Now Sam is a corpse
Way down in the Round Rock clay
Jackson’s on the border
Trying to get away
Some think you go to heaven
But none can surely tell
And if I’m right in my content
He’ll surely go to hellFunding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
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
