    Hardcover, 235 S.: 32,00 €Hardcover, 17x24Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840) war Professor der Medizin und Naturgeschichte an der Universität Göttingen. Er ist einer der führenden Exponenten der revolutionären Umwandlung des geologischen und biologischen Weltbildes um die Wende vom 18. zum 19. Jahrhundert. Seine lange Lebensspanne wirkte als Brücke zwischen der Biologie Carl von Linnés und der Biologie Charles Darwins. Die vorliegende Bibliographie dokumentiert und erschließt das wissenschaftliche Werk Blumenbachs, das von entscheidender Bedeutung für unser Verständnis der Wissenschaftskultur Europas im späten 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert ist. Erkennbar wird darin die intensive Wechselwirkung zwischen den Wissenschaften vom Leben und insbesondere vom Menschen einerseits und andererseits den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften dieser Epoche.This bibliography documents the printed works of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752–1840) and makes them accessible for research purposes.

    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
