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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Fastigium of vertex depressed and sloping (Fig. 368). Ocelli quite weak. Frontal ridge slightly narrowed and incised just below the median ocellus. Vertex narrow, as wide as vertical diameter and 1.1 times wider than transversal diameter of eye; median carinula slightly grooved in basal part; supraocular foveola weak; vertex swollen, narrowly and strongly convex in lateral view. Eye (Fig. 368) wide, 1.1 times longer than wide. Antenna (Fig. 368) very short, not reaching to ventral margin of labrum and half of pronotum; mainly with 12 segments, the subdivision of the 3rd and 4th segments weak. Pronotum (Fig. 368) compressed laterally, roofshaped, without lateral carinae; median carina not raised, straight in lateral view, with a very weak and thin longitudinal sulcus; anterior margin protruded triangularly, posterior margin slightly protruded. Prosternum slightly raised, with a small spiniform projection. Mesosternal interspace 2 times wider than its length and slight ly narrower than mesosternal lobes. Hind legs short and stout. Hind femur 2.7 times longer than its height, dorsal margin slightly convex and finelly serrated, ventral margin strongly convex. Hind tibia with 8–9 inner, 9–10 outer spines. Arolium very narrow and small. Abdomen (Fig. 438) long, always surpassing half of tibia or reaching its apex; abdominal tergites (Fig. 438) simple, median carina slightly raised with very small and blunt posterior projection. Tympanum distinct, 2 times larger than the neighbour stigmal area, or slightly smaller in some females. Subgenital plate as long as wide or slightly longer.</p> <p> <b>Coloration.</b> Body unicolor creamish brown or greyish brown. Apical half of antenna darkened. Eye light brown. Sternites darkened, with brown or blackish-brown. Inner surface of hind femur mainly cream with weakly and partly pale orange, dorsal margin of inner surface body color, ventral margin with black denticles; ventral surface blackened in the middle, inner margin orange, outer margin yellowish. Inner surface of hind tibia faintly pale orange, all remaning parts yellowish with black tipped spines.

Turkey. Known only from the Bolkar Mountains (Fig. 841).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The type locality of this species was given as “Konia” (Ebner 1919: 174), but in 1913 the Konya province covered larger areas, and it would not be correct to consider Konya as its type locality. There is no record of this species since its description. I tried to find the exact locality of this species by following the railways as they were that time, because most of the trips took place using the railways by foreigners such as Prof. Dr. F. Tölg, the collector of this species. After extensive field searches in the mountains along the railways I have finally found this species in the alpine zone of the Bolkar Mountains. Interestingly I have also found <i>Paranocarodes beieri</i> Ramme in the same Mountains, that was known only between Konya and Kayseri as given in the original description, without exact locality (Ramme 1951). Later, I found a single male of <i>E. toelgi</i> in the unidentified material of the NHMUK collected from the Bolkar Mountains by P. H. Davis. This is the second evidence that <i>E. toelgi</i> is found in the highlands of this Mountain. I think Tölg probably collected it from Bolkar Mountains as well. The type locality must be the Bolkar Mountains, between the present Niğde and Mersin provinces of Turkey.</p> <p> The presence of this species is not likely in Iran. The records given from East Azerbaijan, Hamadan and Lorestan provinces of Iran by Mirzayans (1998: 19) probably refer to the genus <i>Paranothrotes</i>.</p> <p> The correct spelling of the species name must be “ <i>toelgi</i> ” according to the ICZN (Article 32.5.2).</p> <p>The previously unknown female is described here for the first time.</p>Published as part of <i>Ünal, Mustafa, 2016, Pamphagidae (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) from the Palaearctic Region: taxonomy, classification, keys to genera and a review of the tribe Nocarodeini I.

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
NADPH-diaphorase and NOS-1 positive ganglion cells are found in the rat vallate papilla/von Ebner gland complex
No full textThe nervous system of the vallata papilla and von Ebner glands was investigated in the rat tongue. Cells involved in the production of nitric oxide were identified by immunohistochemical detection of neuronal nitric oxide synthase type-1 and by cytochemical detection of NADPH-diaphorase. The analysis of serial sections showed that a ganglion composed of about 180-190 neuronal cells was present between the vallata papilla and von Ebner glands. These cells were positive for nitric oxide synthase type-1 and NADPH-diaphorase. From the ganglion, we observed nitrergic fibres running: (a) in the lamina propria of the receptor-free mucosa; (b) just below the gustatory epithelium; (c) in the von Ebner glands; and (d) around the vascular system of the vallata papilla. Our study suggests that the nitrergic ganglion cells may mediate interactions between chemoreceptorial systems in the vallata papilla and secretory cells in the von Ebner glands and that nitric oxide could be involved in the regulation of the blood supply to the vallata papilla and in the regulation of the von Ebner glands
