No full textZodarion mostafai Benhalima & Bosmans sp. nov. Figures 64–65, 82–85, 102–105 Etymology. The species is with pleasure and great love dedicated to Mostafa Bounouar (Rabat, Morocco), husband of the first author of this paper. Diagnosis. For males, see Z. jeanclaudeledouxi sp. nov.. Females can be distinghuished from the other species of this group by the presence and the shape of a trapezoid knob in the anterior part of the epigyne, which is absent in the other species. Description. Measurements: Male (n=3): total length 3.5–5.6; carapace 1.86–3.00 long, 1.2–2.2 wide. Female (n=2): total length 4.2–5.3; carapace 1.95–2.30 long, 1.25–1.55 wide. Colour (Figs 64–65): as in Z. ericorum sp. nov., but in males the tibiae are completely black and the pale part of legs more yellowish, and in the female only Ti IV with proximal part white.

Zodarion ogeri Bosmans & Benhalima 2020, sp. nov.
No full textZodarion ogeri Bosmans & Benhalima sp. nov. Figures 66, 86–89 Etymology. The species is dedicated to our friend Pierre Oger (Waret L’Evêque, Belgium), eminent photographer of all species treated in this paper. Diagnosis. Males are recognized by the tibial apophysis that is relatively wide, nearly straight, terminally truncate and with a small incision, while more curved or terminally pointed in the other species. Zodarion jeanclaudeledouxi sp. nov. is closely related but differs by the longer recurved tip of the tibial apophysis. Description. Measurements: Male (n=1): total length 4.1; carapace 3.12 long, 1.23 wide. Colour (Fig. 66): Carapace dark brown to black; femora black; other segments white to pale yellowish, tibiae laterally striked with brown; abdomen black, with 3 dorsal spots and oblique lateral white stripes.

No full textZodarion ericorum Bosmans sp. nov. Figures 61–62, 74–77, 98–101 Etymology. The first author dedicates this species to Eric Gobbers (Gent, Belgium) and Erika Vanden Bergh (Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek, Belgium), two Belgian biologists, for helping him collect material during his first trip to Morocco in 1984. Diagnosis. Males are recognized by the large basal knob in the tegulum, which is absent in other species or only poorly developed in Z. jeanclaudeledouxi sp. nov. Females are distinguished by the shape of the transverse oval pit in the epigyne, which is not the same in all other species. Description. Measurements. Male (n=4): total length 2.4–3.8; carapace 1.30–1.57 long, 0.90–1.1 wide. Female (n=7): total length 3.8–5.5; prosoma 1.76–3.4 long, 1.25–2.49 wide. Colour (Figs 61–62): carapace dark reddish brown to black, posterior part sometimes yellowish orange of variable size; coxae pale yellowish, femora dark brown to black, basal part white; tibiae brown to pale brown, with paler stripes laterally; metatarsi yellowish brown, base often infuscated; tarsi yellowish brown; abdomen in male with scutum, dark sepia, dorsally with two triangular spots and one oval postero-median spot whitish, in some specimens triangular spots absent; venter and oblique lateral stripe whitish. Female as male, but abdomen without scutum. Eyes: AM=1 (0.13); AL=0.78; PM=PL=0.67; a=0.67; b=0.23; c=1.56; d=0.33; MOQ: AW=0.88PW; L=0.81PW.

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
