Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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

No full textForgotten fibres: fibres from unusual sources
No full textSummary of paper only published in conference post prints.In the mid-twentieth century, there was tremendous interest in making fibres from new sources. Some of this research developed the successful synthetic fibres which we know today. However, fibres were also made from various regenerated protein sources which seem unusual and surprising today. Classified as Azlon fibres, these had a short lived commercial life and most have now been forgotten. This paper will present research into these fibres which were made from a wide range of protein sources. The significance of these fibres lies not only in their history or technological development, but also in the motives behind the original research. Their development is often linked with the pressures for national sufficiency prior to the Second World War. Interestingly, these sources are again being explored for their fibre forming potential but this time the motivation is different and the result of surplus rather than lack. <br/
