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
Beauvoisina carinata Kiel & Campbell & Gaillard 2010, sp. nov.
No full textBeauvoisina carinata sp. nov. (Fig 10) 1985 large bivalves, Gaillard et al., pl. 1, fig. 7. 1990 Lucinacea, Rolin et al., figs. 5, 6. 1992 Lucinid bivalve, Gaillard et al., fig. 7a. Diagnosis: As for the genus. Holotype: FSL 286 459, L = 42 mm, H = 34 mm, W = 22 mm; illustrated on Figs. 10A, J. Paratypes: The figured specimens FSL 286 460 – 286 463. Type locality: Seep deposits at Beauvoisin, Drôme, France, 44°18’N, 5°12’E; Late Jurassic, Oxfordian. Material: The type material and numerous additional specimens from the late Jurassic seep carbonates at Beauvoisin, southeastern France, deposited in the FSL. Etymology: For its carinate lunule. Remarks: Beauvoisina carinata is the earliest record of a lucinid from a methane seep. Shells larger than ca. 50 mm are usually crushed. The adductor muscle scars are extremely weak: although several wellpreserved internal molds were available, neither the scars nor the pallial line could be detected (see figs. 10H, I, K, L). In this respect this species resembles a similarly shaped lucinid from the Early Cretaceous (Hauterivian) Crimean methane seep site, which also has very weak muscle attachment scars (Kiel and Peckmann 2008). The Crimean species differs by lacking the elongate nymph of the Beauvoisin species. The hinge of Beauvoisina carinata differs from that of the Late Cretaceous North American Nymphalucina occidentalis Morton, 1842 by its much narrower nymph; further, N. occidentalis has a small cardinal tooth pointing posteriorly, that is lacking in Beauvoisina carinata (Speden 1970). The large, mid-Cretaceous lucinid Ezolucina inflata (Kanie and Nishida, 2000) has a much higher umbo than B. carinata and a more angular shape, resembling that of vesicomyids rather than oval shape of B. carinata (see Amano et al. 2008). Another large, seep-related lucinid with late Mesozoic members is Nipponothracia, which differs from B. carinata by its edentulous hinge (Kanie and Sakai 1997; Kiel et al. 2008). Along with the tall gastropod that we describe as Humptulipsia macsotayi herein, Thieuloy (1972) reported a large bivalve from the early Cretaceous seeps at Rottier, southeastern France. This bivalve was identified (but not figured) by Macsotay (1980) as the lucinid Pseudomiltha aff. germani. The published figures of this species are insufficient for identification and our own sampling at this site revealed only fragmentary material. However, Thieuloy’s (1972) image shows a specimen with radial sculpture, which is not seen in B. carinata.Published as part of Kiel, Steffen, Campbell, Kathleen A. & Gaillard, Christian, 2010, New and little known mollusks from ancient chemosynthetic environments, pp. 26-48 in Zootaxa 2390 (1) on pages 41-42, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2390.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/530515
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

Bathymodiolus palmarensis Kiel & Campbell & Gaillard 2010, sp. nov.
No full textBathymodiolus (sensu lato) palmarensis sp. nov. (Fig 8) 2005 Bathymodiolin; Gill et al. 2005, fig. 9F. 2007 Bathymodiolus ? n. sp.; Kiel and Peckmann 2007, figs. 5E–I. Diagnosis: Bathymodioline shell with subterminal beak, straight dorsal and ventral margins, and pointed anterior margin. Holotype: USNM 533981. Paratypes: USNM 533982-553984. Type locality: USGS locality 11253, Atlantico, Colombia; considered to be of Oligocene age. The original locality description is “¼ mile N of junction Arroyo Piadras Palmar and Palmar-Molinera-Road, Atlantico, Colombia ” and its exact location proved difficult to pin down. The town Arroyo Piadras is at 10°37’N, 75°06’W. Description: Elongate modioliform shell, slightly inflated but with strong umbonal ridge, beaks in subterminal position; length/height-ratio 1: 2 in smallest specimen, 1:2.5 in largest; surface with strong growth increments; dorsal margin straight, angular transition to posterodorsal margin at about two-thirds of total shell length; posterior margin broadly rounded; ventral margin straight; anterior margin pointed but rounded; hinge unknown, interior of shell with fine radial lines. Remarks: Many extant species of Bathymodiolus differ from B. (s.l.) palmarensis n. sp. by having a concave ventral margin and by having the beak in a less anterior position. Quite similar to B. (s.l.) palmarensis regarding these two characters is B. azoricus von Cosel, Comtet & Krylova, 1999, from the Azores Triple Junction on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, but it differs from that extant species by having a proportionally narrower anterior margin and by a less well-developed umbonal ridge. The same is true for B. brooksi Gustafson, Turner, Lutz & Vrijenhoek, 1998. The East-Atlantic species B. mauretanicus von Cosel, 2002, has the beaks in an even more anterior position than B. (s.l.) palmarensis, but is shorter (has a lower height/length ratio), lacks internal radial ridges or striations, and usually has a concave ventral margin. Another species with the beak in an almost terminal position and a lower height/length ratio than B. (s.l.) palmarensis is the Japanese B. platifrons Hashimoto & Okutani, 1994. The slightly older fossil species Bathymodiolus willapaensis (Squires and Goedert,1991) from the Eocene and Oligocene of Washington State, USA, also has the beaks in a subterminal position. It differs from B. (s.l.) palmarensis by having a slightly convex and shorter dorsal margin, which occupies only about half of the distance between beak and posterior end, whereas in B. (s.l.) palmarensis the dorsal margin is straight and occupies two-thirds of the distance between beak and posterior end. There are several genetically distinct clades among the species traditionally placed in Bathymodiolus (Miyazaki et al. 2004; Iwasaki et al. 2006; Jones et al. 2006; Olu et al. 2007), hence we assign palmarensis only to Bathymodiolus (sensu lato). Distribution: Colombia (Oligocene?) and possibly Venezuela (Miocene). Etymology: After its occurrence near the Arroyo Piadras Palmar and Palmar-Molinera-Road in Colombia.Published as part of Kiel, Steffen, Campbell, Kathleen A. & Gaillard, Christian, 2010, New and little known mollusks from ancient chemosynthetic environments, pp. 26-48 in Zootaxa 2390 (1) on pages 39-40, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2390.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/530515
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
