Fabric of War: Why Wool?
No full textThis video, produced with funding from Australian Wool Innovation, is part of the Fabric of War creative Research Project, which is shared by Trish FitzSimons and Madelyn Shaw.
Fabric of War is a transnational commodity history that explores the strategic dimensions of wool. For 150 years wool was Australia's main export commodity and it continues to be the world's largest wool producer.
Fabric of War: Why Wool explores the history of how wool as a fibre became so strategically important and the chemistry of why its properties made it peculiarly suited for this task.
This history becomes a vital complement to the story of Australia as the nation that 'rode on the sheep's back' by providing an account of why so much wool was necessary, how this was a crucial underpinning to the growth of mass cold climate warfare in the twentieth century and how this relates to diplomatic and economic histories of Australia and other nations.Full Tex

Bitis atropos subsp. unicolor FitzSimons 1959

Gerhart, date unknown.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The labels on the holotype and one paratype read: “Doornkop near Belfast ”, but the locality is listed as “Witpoort, about 20 miles north of Belfast in the description. In the description, FitzSimons (1959: 409) only lists the holotype (AMG 1251) and two paratypes (AMG 1402 & TMP 5906), under the heading “Types and refers to the other two (AMG 1421 & 1735) as additional material. Later he refers to all the material as paratypes under the measurements table (FitzSimons 1959: 409). We thus regard all the material as being types. Under ‘Types’ he refers to one paratype as ‘TM 5906’, but then as ‘AM 5906’ under measurements. This is in error as the original TMP specimen labels reads ‘TM 5906 previously AMG 1049’ and was donated to TMP by AMG. AMG 1421 is unaccounted for in the PEM. All specimens are in good condition.</p>Published as part of <i>Conradie, Werner, Branch, William R. & Watson, Gillian, 2019, Type specimens in the Port Elizabeth Museum, South Africa, including the historically important Albany Museum collection.

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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
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
