Diplomatic Relations of the United States and Germany, 1919-1925
No full textWhen the holocaust of the first World War had been consummated by the Armistice of November 11, 1918, the skeletal "wreck of Europe" was indeed likened by contemporary historians to a patient sorely in need of immediate medical attention. A blood transfusion, signifying the critical need for food and supplies, was imperative if the prostrated patient was to survive the overwhelming disasters that had befallen him. The anaemic patient in this figure personifies, more than any other European nation, postwar Germany. Although much less encumbered with physical ravages of the appallingly destructive war than those sustained by her triumphant mortal enemy—France—it was the inexorable fate of Germany to witness the collapse of' her government, to behold the defeat of her armies, to wear the yoke of Versailles, and to suffer the pangs of hunger. If France was a crippled patient, Germany was a mentally deranged one; if France was to grieve for her painful wounds, Germany was to know the tortures of the damned.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
