    Dessauite, a new mineral in the crichtonite group, occurs within cavities in calcite veins as tabular {001} rhombohedral, black, millimeter-sized crystals at Buca della Vena Mine, Apuan Alps (Tuscany, Italy). It is associated with derbylite, hematite, rutile, karelianite, siderite, and calcite. Dessauite is trigonal, space group R3, with a = 9.197(1) Å, alpha = 68.75(2)°. Optically, dessauite is opaque and shows low bireflectance and very weak pleochroism. Electron microprobe analyses led to the following simplified chemical formula: (Sr,Pb)(Y,U)(Ti,Fe3+)20O38. The crystal structure of dessauite was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data to R = 0.065. Dessauite is isostructural with the others members of the crichtonite group; a peculiar structural feature is the presence of additional, partially occupied octahedral sites. A comparison of the crystal-chemical formulas of all the minerals within the crichtonite group is presented. In view of the structural information, the analytical data have been re-arranged on the basis of the crystal-chemical formula ABC18T2O38, rather than AM21O38

    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
