Telson thin, laminar (lateral aspect), subrectangular to tapering, distally slightly to conspicuously emarginate, lacking RS. Etymology The name Ringanui is derived from the Maori words ringa (hand) and nui (big) in reference to the very large gnathopod 1 characteristic of this genus. Remarks The genus Paraleptamphopus has caused severe confusion among taxonomists. This confusion arose because Chilton (1882 b) presumed that his female P. subterraneus was conspecific with those he regarded as males, because they co­occurred in some wells and differed in few characters: his presumed male was larger, rarer, possessed calceoli (“sensory capsules”) on both antennae, and both gnathopods were larger and different in morphology to those of his presumed female. By the time he wrote his 1894 re­description of the species, Chilton appeared to be having some difficulties with his understanding of the species, noting that the male appeared to differ very markedly from the female. He admitted (1894: 236) that he had “seen only about half a dozen males altogether, while I must have seen hundreds of specimens of the female”. He was puzzled by the absence of any specimens intermediate in form between the female and presumed male, although he described a few characteristics of one. Chilton concluded from this second set of studies that “there is very great dissimilarity between the two sexes, chiefly in the gnathopoda, both of these in the male differing considerably from those in the female”, whereas this was not the norm in other amphipods. He also noted that the observed differences in mouthpart characters between his sexes were as great as those often used to distinguish genera. A more explicit element of doubt was expressed in his thoughts on coxal gills where he noted (1894: 240) “two plates attached to the coxa, both in the second gnathopod and in the first and second peraeopoda, in the male specimen dissected, I have not found them in the female specimens, and am not sure that the second plate is a gill­plate”, before stating “It differs in appearance from the true gill­plate, and might be considered a broodplate, but it bears no setae on the margin, and I am practically certain that the specimen is a male”. Comparison of the “males” illustrated in Chilton’s 1882 b and 1894 papers show several significant differences in their gnathopods. Gnathopod 1 differs most conspicuously in the size of robust seta defining the palm. The length of the large spine in the 1882 “male” equals the width of article 6, whereas the largest spine in the 1894 “male” was <0.3 x the width of article 6. The shapes of article 6 differ appreciably between specimens. Similar differences are apparent in comparing second gnathopods. Articles 5–6 were stouter in the 1882 “male” compared with the 1894 “male” and these articles also differed considerably in shape. By 1894, available evidence indicated that up to three taxa may be confused with P.subterraneus, although Chilton continued adhering to his single species thesis. Stebbing (1899) was not convinced that the species was monospecific: in erecting the genus Paraleptamphopus, he stated (p. 210): “In this genus I place Calliope subterranea, Chilton, and Pherusa caerulea, G.M. Thomson; but the form which Dr. Chilton regards as the adult male of his Calliopius subterraneus I leave at present unclassified”. It is notable that Stebbing (1899) was unequivocal in designating Paraleptamphopus subterraneus (Chilton, 1882) as the type species, but his preceding comment also makes it clear that the type species is Chilton’s (1882 b) female, not the male. The genus Ringanui, therefore, is erected to accommodate Chilton’s 1882 b and 1894 males.Published as part of Fenwick, Graham D., 2006, Ringanui, a new genus of stygobitic amphipod from New Zealand (Amphipoda: Gammaridea: Paraleptamphopidae), pp. 1-25 in Zootaxa 1148 on pages 3-5, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17210

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

Telson subrectangular, untapered, lateral margins straight, 1 x as long as wide, emarginate, 0.1 of its length, lobes distally rounded, with 1 setules subterminally on each lobe, and 2–3 setules laterally. Va r i a t i o n A few additional characters not included in the above description merit noting. Calceoli occur on peduncle articles 2–3 of antenna 1 in all specimens examined, although they were not apparent on article 3 in the holotype. Each calceolus arises from a raised hump on the peduncle articles. The upper lip is ovate (distal half only illustrated for holotype) and there is no division between labium and epistome. Some asymmetry is apparent in the mandibles with the left incisor having 6 cusps and the right 5. Similar asymmetry occurs on the lacinia mobili, which have 4 cusps on the left and 3 on the right. Chilton (1894) showed a distinct medial notch in one of the outer lobes of the lower lip and a similar notch was apparent in one of the specimens examined here. Very little asymmetry was apparent in maxilla 1 other than slight differences in palp article 2 width and the stoutness of apical robust setae. The inner plate of maxilla 2 has an oblique, submarginal row of 5–6 plumose setae in all specimens, although these were not readily visible in the holotype. Gnathopod 1 article 2 is consistently kinked proximally. The dactyl tips of both gnathopods close into crater­like depressions surrounded by robust setae at the proximal ends of their respective palms. Also, the palm is complex with an apparently fine, crenulated knife­edge structure opposing the dactyl along much of the palm. Just proximal to the palm, article 6 is produced into a massive, blunt cusp­like structure (see Chilton 1984: pl. 23, figs 1, 2), but this, like the fine palmar cutting edge, is not apparent in some perspectives. Examination of the few juveniles of this species in collections showed that shape of article 6 and the length of largest defining spines changes little with development. A small gill was found on coxa 7 in several specimens, but was absent from others. It is not known whether this gill is always present, but was dislodged in some specimens, or whether this small gill is variable in its presence. The lateral margin of the uropod 3 inner ramus had robust setae paired with long, plumose slender setae in some specimens, but this, also, appeared to be a variable character. The telson also seems to vary between specimens, with the emargination slightly deeper than that illustrated for some specimens. Etymology The name toonuiiti is derived from Maori toonui (thumb) and iti (little) and refers to the smaller robust seta defining the proximal end of the gnathopod 1 palm, which is characteristic of this species. Distribution Canterbury: Eyreton, Harewood, Templeton, Burnham, Orari. Remarks As noted above, Chilton’s 1882 b “male” differed appreciably from the 1894 male in the morphology of both gnathopods, suggesting the possibility of two species. New material collected since 1972 enabled this to be investigated more carefully, as outlined above, and produced clear evidence that Chilton’s 1882 b “male” Calliope subterranea belongs to a different species to his 1894 “male” Calliopius subterraneus. Chilton (1894) appeared to place substantial weight on the structure of gnathopod 1, believing that the 1882 “male” was a juvenile of the 1894 type. Reasons for this are unclear, but he certainly had very few specimens (1894: 236 “I have seen only about half a dozen males altogether”) of Ringanui, with perhaps no more than one specimen of his 1882 b “male” (R. koonuiroa).Published as part of Fenwick, Graham D., 2006, Ringanui, a new genus of stygobitic amphipod from New Zealand (Amphipoda: Gammaridea: Paraleptamphopidae), pp. 1-25 in Zootaxa 1148 on pages 15-23, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17210

    We 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
