    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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

    Professor Richard Lovell in interview with Dr Bryan Gandevia

    Get PDF
    At the start of the interview Richard Lovell, the first professor of medicine at the University of Melbourne 1956-1983 and biographer of Lord Moran, speaks of his family background and childhood, and his medical studies at St Mary's. Next, he reviews his period of National Service during the Second World War with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, when he travelled to destinations such as Norway, Sierra Leone and Singapore. After the war a short spell at The Brompton was followed by work at St Mary's with George Pickering, investigating the effects of cortisone. It was Pickering who eventually encouraged him to apply for the newly created chair in medicine in Melbourne because it was more exciting than opportunities arising in England at the time. The interview moves on to Professor Lovell's early years in Melbourne. He reflects on establishing a unit in one of the teaching hospitals, the Royal Melbourne, and the initial difficulties he experienced, as the first professor of medicine, in winning people's trust and recruiting staff. He talks about his early appointments, particularly Roger Mellick, Eric Clarke and Austin Doyle, and his links with the Papuan Medical College and periodic work as a consultant there. Professor Lovell then outlines research on hypertension conducted during his time in Melbourne: epidemiological studies to test whether the 'Western curve' of blood pressure was universal, a controlled trial on moderate hypertension, and his leading role in the Australian National Blood Pressure Study. This is followed by a discussion of his post-retirement work with bodies including the Australian Brewers' Association; Ethics Committee of the National Health & Medical Research Council; Victoria Anti-Cancer Council. The final section of the interview focuses on Professor Lovell's biography of Lord Moran, doctor of Winston Churchill; the problems encountered in writing biographies - empathy and judgement, and some detail about the life of Lord Moran
