No full textThe Order of United Americans, also known as the Know-Nothings, formed in the mid-1800s to support the rights of native-born Americans over those of immigrants, and to combat what they saw as foreign influences on America. This letter is an invitation to Order member David Bishop, to a celebration in honor of George Washington's birthday. Page 1 shows the actual letter, and page 2 is the transcripts of the letter

David Bishop Professor
No full text<p>Professor David Bishop is a world leader in muscle exercise physiology with more 250 publications and an h-index of 73. His research has been funded by multiple grants from the ARC, the NHMRC, and the Australian Defence Force, and has received more than 100 invitations to speak at international conferences around the world.</p>
<p>Professor Bishop leads the <strong>Skeletal Muscle and Training</strong> research group, which has two key research areas: exercise as mitochondrial medicine, and human performance.</p>
<p>The focus of his research group is to examine how diet, exercise, and genes interact to regulate skeletal muscle adaptations, and to translate this new knowledge into recommendations for more individualised exercise prescriptions to better improve health and human performance. His team consists of 4 post-doctoral fellows and 6 PhD students.</p>
<p>Professor Bishop has held many important exercise and sport science leadership positions in Australia. He was the youngest-ever president of Exercise & Sport Science Australia (ESSA). During his presidency, he was lead author on a submission to the <em>Productivity Commission</em> that led to the inclusion of Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) in Medicare-Plus. He was also invited to the Senate Inquiry into the practice of Sports Science and was a consultant to the Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports. He has twice been on the Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) panel assessing the quality of research in Australia and is currently a director of the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS).</p>

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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Letter from David Bishop to the Order of United Americans in response to an invitation to a celebration of George Washington's birthday
No full textThe Order of United Americans, also known as the Know-Nothings, formed in the mid-1800s to support the rights of native-born Americans over those of immigrants, and to combat what they saw as foreign influences on America. In this letter, David Bishop responds to decline an invitation to a celebration in honor of George Washington's birthday. He writes about his views on politics in America, and makes reference to German, Irish, and Catholic immigrants, as well as discusses his views on slavery. The fact that the letter has many phrases crossed out, has no closing, and is unsigned, suggested that it may have been a draft version. Pages 1-4 show the actual handwritten letter, while pages 5-6 provide transcripts of the letter
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
