    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

    A Look Back and Continued Commitment to Community Building in Online Writing Centers

    This blog post looks back at one of my first publications, “Community Building in Online Writing Centers,” which was published in 2005 (a decade earlier), at a time when the use of online chat forums, wikis, and Skype were just emerging for online writing centers. In this reflective post, I not only address how the technology has changed over a decade, but I also reiterate my interest in online writing centers: that is, to prioritize relations and the people who are often ignored when talking about technology. This post underlines the commitment to equity in education, arguing that we must think about relations, power, and systems of inequity before making procedural decisions about what technologies to use or how to use them
