The development of Xavier university under the presidency of Norman C. Francis: 1968 - 2005, 2011
Get PDFThis study examines the factors that led Xavier University from a small, struggling, regional entity to a national university. This growth did not take place until Norman C. Francis was appointed president in 1968. This study was based on the premise that from the time Xavier University was founded in 1915 until Norman C. Francis became president in 1968, the university relatively stagnant in terms of growth. A case study analysis approach was used to analyze data gathered on the growth of the university. Specifically, the following areas were examined: enrollment, endowment, physical plant, alumni advanced degree attainment, faculty quality, quality of students admitted and retained, and the condition of the university prior to the Francis administration. The researcher found that Xavier University has experienced significant growth in the areas examined. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that the leadership of Norman C. Francis was the catalyst that caused the positive changes in Xavier University found by the researcher

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
