No full textDr. Gehan recollects Dr. R. Lee Clark’s approach to funding, recruitment, and management and the attraction of MD Anderson/Houston to Dr. “Tom” Frei III, his wife Elizabeth “Liz” (nee Smith), as well as himself. Dr. Olson mentions from Kenneth Endicott (NCI Director) to Dr. R. Lee Clark (President, MD Anderson) lamenting the move of Dr’s Frei III and Freireich to MD Anderson. When Dr. Gehan started at MD Anderson in 1967, Dr. Lee D. Cady Jr. was the Head of the Department of Biomathematics. Dr. Gehan talks about the impact of the arrival of Dr’s Frei III and Freireich on MD Anderson Research. Dr. Gehan cites the cooperative group collaboration model of NCI/NIH Clinical Chairman Dr. C. Gordon Zubrod and biostatistician Marvin A. Schneiderman on the first randomized trials in acute leukemia and solid tumors. He recalls the members of the administration and the research team at MD Anderson before the arrival of Dr’s Frei III and Freireich: Dr. H. Grant Taylor, Chairman of the Southwest Oncology Group (Southwest Oncology Group), epidemiologist Eleanor Josephine McDonald (known for creating the National Cancer Registry) statistician Kenneth M. Griffith, Dr. Roy C. Heflebower, Joe E. Boyd and Dr. Stuart O. Zimmerman, Chairman of the Biomathematics Department. He also mentions other MD Anderson administrators and researchers: Terry L. Smith, Dr. Peter F. Thall, Dr. J. Jack Lee, President Dr. Charles A. LeMaistre, Dr. Frederick F. Becker and President Dr. John Mendelsohn. Finally, he talks about the Department of Biostatistics, how it differs from Biomathematics, and the effort to strengthen medical oncology at MD Anderson.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1313/thumbnail.jp

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
