    No full text
    Profesor Zbigniew Czajkowski jest cenionym trenerem szermierki i nauczycielem akademickim znanym nie tylko w Polsce, ale też poza jej granicami. Posiada ogromny dorobek metodyczno-szkoleniowy i naukowy z zakresu szeroko pojętych nauk o kulturze fizycznej. Wyjątkowej bystrości umysłu zawdzięcza sukcesy w rywalizacji sportowej. Jako zawodnik wywalczył brązowy medal drużynowych mistrzostw świata w szabli w 1953 r., a w pracy trenerskiej m.in. jego wychowanek Egon Franke zdobył pierwszy w historii polskiego floretu tytuł mistrza olimpijskiego. W czasie kierowania Zakładem Szermierki znacznie pomnożył dorobek naukowy, zapoczątkowany już w 1951 r. Wydał ponad trzydzieści książek zarówno w kraju, jak i poza jego granicami, np. w USA i w Niemczech, dotyczących teorii i metodyki szermierki, psychologii, pedagogiki, teorii treningu, itp. Opracował podział reakcji psycho-motorycznych (odpowiedzi czuciowo-ruchowe proste, złożone, tzn. z wyborem, różnicowe, intuicyjne, przewidziane, nieuświadomione itp.). Prowadził liczne kursy, wykłady i seminaria na zagranicznych uczelniach i w ośrodkach sportowych, m.in. w USA, Wielkiej Brytanii, Irlandii, Szwajcarii, Holandii, Czechach, Austrii, Rosji, na Ukrainie. Wyszkolił stu kilkudziesięciu trenerów szermierki, którzy z powodzeniem pracują w kraju i za granicą. W 1991 r. Zbigniew Czajkowski przeszedł na emeryturę. Nadal jednak pracuje w AWF w Katowicach. Prowadzi zespół szermierki, studium trenerskie, liczne kursy trenerskie i instruktorskie oraz wykłady w formie konwersatorium dla studentów AWF. Profesor interesuje się wieloma dziedzinami niezwiązanymi z szermierką – historią mundurów i broni, dziejami ziemi przemyskiej, muzyką orientalną, fotografiką, polityką, dziełami Moliera itd. Jest zapalonym turystą i miłośnikiem przyrody. Do dziś Profesor tryska humorem i dowcipem. Wyznaje zasadę, że ten się starzeje, kto ma na to czas i ochotę.Profesor Zbigniew Czajkowski is an internationally reknowned Polish fencing coach and academic teacher. His contributions to sports training and research in the area of physical culture sciences have been tremendous. Czajkowski’s sharpness of mind has yielded his greatest sports successes. In his fencing career he won the bronze medal in the team saber event at the Fencing World Championships in 1953. His famous disciple, Egon Franke, became later the first ever Olympic fencing champion in Poland. As the Head of the Department of Fencing of the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice founded in 1951, Czajkowski has greatly expanded his scientific output and published more than thirty books in Poland, Germany and the United States on fencing theory and methodology, psychology, pedagogy and training theory. It was Czajkowski who introduced the classification of psychomotor responses (simple, complex, with choice, intuitive, foreseen and unforeseen). Zbigniew Czajkowski has also delivered numerous lectures and seminars in universities and sports centers in the USA, UK, Ireland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Austria, Russia and Ukraine. His students include more than one hundred internationally famous fencing coaches. In 1991 Zbigniew Czajkowski retired, but he is still active at the Katowice academy. He manages a fencing team, coaching center and numerous courses for trainers and instructors as well as gives tutorials for students. Professor Zbigniew Czajkowski takes interest in multiple areas unrelated to competitive fencing, such as history of arms and military uniforms, Przemyśl regional history, oriental music, photography, politics, Molier and many more. He is an enthusiastic tourist and nature lover. Bursting with humor and stamina, Zbigniew Czajkowski, follows the rule that the one who ages has time for it and wishes it

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    No full text
    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
