Reply to the comment by P.J. Hearty and G. Dai Pra
We appreciate very much Hearty and Dai Pra’s
Comment and their interest in the Taranto area, but we
find that the comment runs into some misreading (e.g.
look better at Table 2 and Fig. 5). Our paper presents
the results of a multidisciplinary study of some new

Chronostatigarphic confirmation of MIS 5 age of a baymouth bar at Is Arenas (Cagliari, Italy)
In 2005, the National Geological Survey of Italy released the new sheet, 557 Cagliari (1:50.000 scale). A
coastal barrier marine formation at Is Arenas (Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy), containing Strombus bubonius, was
reassigned a Holocene age, in contradiction with extensive literature published over the past century
indicating an MIS 5.5 age. In 2007, spurred by this controversy, a short note was published in Il Quaternario
demonstrating the stratigraphic difficulties in attributing the age of this formation to the
Holocene. Later, another paper signed by numerous Italian geologists was published in Il Quaternario
criticizing the Holocene attribution. The tectonic consequences of assigning a Holocene age to these
deposits are of great significance, as their elevation could only be explained by strong uplift over the past
few thousand years. Such a tectonic setting would imply a radical change in the recent geodynamic
history of Sardinia, which is considered to be among the most stable areas of the Mediterranean basin.
This paper provides further geochronological data for a MIS 5 age for the deposits at Is Arenas. Electron
Spin Resonance (ESR) analyses were performed on 4 fossil shells sampled along the fossil baymouth bar.
The results established an MIS 5 age. The amino acid racemization (AAR) and U-series data that first
determined a correlation with the last interglacial, Tyrrhenian age of this ancient shoreline is reviewed,
with additional documentation provided by the fossil marker S. buboniu
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
