Callaway, Jr., Text '26, one of the most prominent textile engineers in the country, was posthumously inducted into Georgia Tech's College of Engineering Hall of Fame in 1995. He was the chairman of Callaway Mills, a large textile complex in Troup County, Georgia and also a noted philanthropist, whose name graces academic buildings and endowed faculty chairs in universities throughout Georgia and the Southeast. He was born into one of the most prominent families in Troup County, Georgia where the family name graces public and private buildings and locations, such as Callaway Gardens, a popular local resort. His father, Fuller E. Callaway, Sr. began his career in textiles first as an investor and later as a manager of the Dixie Mill in 1895. In 1901, Fuller E. Callaway, Sr. was a key developer of the Unity Mills, which became the foundation for Callaway Mills. Fuller E. Callaway, Jr. succeeded his father as chairman of the Callaway Mills. Callaway Mills was a major employer in Troup County and one of the most important mill complexes in a state noted for it's textile industry. Callaway Mills was sold to Roger Milliken in 1968. Fuller E. Callaway, Jr.'s interest in textiles extended beyond the management of Callaway Mills. He was the first chairman of the Institute of Textile Technology (ITT) in Charlotte, Virginia, a privately-financed, not-for-profit institute for textile research, founded in 1944. The Fuller E. Callaway, Jr. Pavilion at ITT was dedicated in his honor in 1997. At Georgia Tech, the Fuller E. Callaway, Jr. Manufacturing Research Center (MARC), a major research facility dedicated to innovations in manufacturing processes, applications and solutions, was dedicated in 1991. MARC is a major contributing factor in Georgia Tech's continuing national recognition for it's outstanding academic program in industrial engineering/manufacturing. The Callaway name is in no danger of ever being forgotten in Georgia. The benefits resulting from Fuller E. Callaway, Jr.'s philanthropy in textile engineering, manufacturing and a host of other academic disciplines will last at least as long

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
