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
The critical pedagogy of nonprofit management education: teaching for social justice
No full textNonprofit organizations often exist to serve vulnerable, marginalized, and underrepresented communities. Yet a lack of diversity and inclusion plagues the nonprofit sector. This chapter argues that when instructors engage in more “critical” perspectives, students of nonprofit management will not only be able to consider questions of power and privilege within nonprofit organizations, but will also be able to understand the impact of power and privilege imbalances within the communities that they serve. It provides a theoretical framework for critical pedagogies, and offers two exercise that instructors may use to provide examples of the way critical pedagogy can inform nonprofit management education (NME).Peer reviewe
Hal Lindsey
No full textThe American evangelist Hal Lindsey (b. 1929), colloquially referred to as the father of modern prophecy, is the author of twenty-five books and host of a long running TV series called The Hal Lindsey Report. The most influential work of his prolonged career is his book The Late Great Planet Earth (1970) which sold over 28 million copies (Melling 1999, 77) and according to the New York Times was the ‘number one non-fiction best-seller of the decade’ (Harding 1994, 33). Bart Ehrman went so far as to state that Lindsey is ‘probably the single most read author of religion in modern times’ (1999, 7). His key success, as Kirsch observes, was ‘leveraging the apocalyptic idea out of the fundamentalist churches and into the mainstream of American civilization’ (2006, 225). Still, Lindsey owes parts of his accomplishments to his ghost-writers and assistants. The Late Great Planet Earth (henceforth Late Great), among six other books that credit Hal Lindsey as author, were ghost-written by Carole C. Carlson (b. 1925).Initially published by Zondervan in 1970, then a small theological press, Late Great was reissued by the non-religious publisher Bantam Books in 1973. In 1976, the book was made into a film narrated by Orson Wells that appeared in theatres across the United States of America. The book chronicles a near future apocalyptic vision of wars to come and Christ’s imminent return to earth by reinterpreting the prophetic books of the Bible such as Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation to make sense of the present. Framing American anxieties in relation to the counterculture movement of the 1960s and the Cold War (1947-1989), the Vietnam War (1955–1975), and the Six-Day War (1967) as signs of the End Times, the book sought to give answers to the uncertainties of the time. In so doing, Late Great provided a template for many other evangelical prophecy authors like Tim LaHaye and John Walvoord and was thus the foundation for a billion-dollar apocalyptic prophecy writing industry in the United States. Lindsey capitalised on the success of Late Great via talking tours, publishing other books, and his TV programme The Hal Lindsey Report. Late Great remained the leading text in popular evangelical eschatology of world affairs until it was dethroned by his ‘imitator,’ Tim LaHaye, with the publication and success of his Left Behind fiction series of the 1990s co-written with Jerry Jenkins (Hill 2002, 1).In this entry we will first give a short biographical account of Hal Lindsey, including his education, social and political influences, and development of his eschatological thought. In the section following, we give some detail on Lindsey’s beliefs, specifically premillennial dispensationalism. The next sections cover four of his major books which map the evolution of his thinking: The Late Great Planet Earth (1970), The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon (1980), The Everlasting Hatred (2002), and The Road to Holocaust (1989). The last section before concluding deals with one of Lindsey’s most recent intellectual interests, that of climate change, via an engagement with an episode of his TV Show, The Hal Lindsey Report

'All the common rules of social life' : the reconstruction of social and political identities by the Dorset Gentry, c.1790-c.1834
No full textThis case-history explores the governing purposes of the Dorset gentry from the
early 1790's until the mid 1830's. It is not a conventional political and
administrative history. It seeks rather to reveal the gentry's governing purposes
through the processes and contexts of their construction of social and political
identities. It takes as its starting point the idea of the materiality of language itself
The idea that language does not reflect or refer to a pre-existing anterior reality but
creates meaning by distinguishing explicitly or implicitly what something is from
what it is not. This case-history explores the gentry's construction of the terms of an
overarching discourse I have called the 'common rules of social life'. In particular
the evolving narrative terms of patriarchal oeconomy, political economy and
paternalism. It does so to answer the question: 'By what means and for what
purposes did this form of discourse and its narrative traditions become established
by the gentry to prevail at this time in the past? ' The answers are found in the ways
and the contexts in which the gentry used this discourse.
First, how did the gentry exercise their power so that this discourse might come
into being. Here the structures and institutions of the Commission of the Peace are
significant. In particular the ways in which power was monopolised and used by a
small fraction of active magistrates. This fraction was active in the committees of
the Commission of the Peace and at quarter and petty sessions. Their power came to
be deployed to reform county government and poor relief to impose 'natural' moral
market relations on Dorset society.
Second, how was the discourse and its constituent elements exercised by the gentry
to constitute identities, and how did they determine how people thought and acted?
Here the case-history reveals the gentry's construction of identities for Dorset, the
parish and the poor. In particular the construction of an identity of Dorset as an
arena of natural economic laws and moral endeavour. These identities were taught
to rich and poor alike as part of the gentry's purpose to remoralise Dorset society
