    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We 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

    Similarity, Induction, Naming, and Categorization (SINC): Generalization or Inductive Reasoning? Reply to Heit and Hayes

    No full text
    This article is a response to E. Heit and B. K. Hayes's (see record 2005-14939-011) comment on the target article "Induction and Categorization in Young Children: A Similarity-Based Model" (V. M. Sloutsky & A. V. Fisher, 2004a). The response discusses points of agreement and disagreement with Heit and Hayes; phenomena predicted by similarity, induction, naming, and categorization (SINC); and relationships between SINC and models of verbal inductive reasoning, as well as contributions and limitations of SINC and directions for future research. Overall, the authors disagree with Heit and Hayes's analysis of limitations of SINC and with their analysis of SINC in the context of verbal inductive reasoning. At the same time, the authors agree that more research is needed to provide a unified account of similarity, induction, categorization, and recognition.</p

    Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology

    No full text
    To 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

    Dompropst Eberhart, Dechant Friedrich und das Kapitel zu Brixen beurkunden, daß sie nach dem Tode Albrechts des Rauhen, der von ihnen als Leibgeding ihren [Bd. 4 S. 106 A und B: Z. 22-24] der Lage nach beschriebenen Meierhof zu Mellaun hatte, dessen Kinder in ihrem Unglück aufrichten wollten. Sie liehen daher den genannten Hof an den ältesten Sohn Bertold, ihren Zehnten zu Kiens und Pfalzen an dessen Bruder Heinrich als Leibgedinge. Beim Tode des einen hat der andere kein Recht auf das Gut des Stiftes, das der Verstorbene erhalten hat, sondern dieses fällt an das Kapitel zurück. Beide haben von Hof und Zehnten den bisherigen festgesetzten Zins an Korn, Pfennigen und sonstigen Leistungen rᷝ(dienſt) zu entrichten. Für die Zinszahlung ist für 5 Jahre Frau Alheid von Neuenburg, Ehefrau Konrads (Herrn Gottschalks Sohn ab dem Berg), mit Einwilligung ihres Ehemannes mit ihrem gesamten Besitz Bürge des Kapitels geworden und hat vor Zeugen gelobt, allen Ausfall an Zinsen aus ihrem Besitz zu ersetzen. Die beiden Brüder haben versprochen, nach Ablauf der 5 Jahre den Zins mit zuverlässigen Leuten und achtbaren Bürgen entsprechend zu sichern, falls das Kapitel das verlangt. Nachdem Frau Alheid diese Bürgschaft übernommen hatte, versprachen Bertold (und dessen Ehefrau Alheid) und Heinrich (und dessen Ehefrau Irmgard) eidlich, daß Alheid und ihr Ehemann Konrad sich für alle durch die Bürgschaft entstehenden Schäden an ihrem gesamten Besitz schadlos halten könnten. Auch dies wurde vor den selben Zeugen im Baumgarten Konrads vereinbart. Sterben Bertold oder Heinrich, oder beide, in der [Bürgschafts-]Frist, dann soll Konrad ab dem Berg für seine Ehefrau Alheid mit Zustimmung des Kapitels für das laufende Jahr Hof oder Zehnt, oder beides, in Besitz nehmen und davon den vereinbarten Zins leisten. Nach Ablauf des Jahres sollen er oder seine Ehefrau den Zehnten oder den Hof mit dazugehörigem Gericht dem Kapitel wieder übergeben. Verweigert das Kapitel bei einem Todesfall die Zustimmung zu dieser Besitzübernahme für das laufende Jahr, so ist Alheid ihres Versprechens und ihrer Bürgschaft sofort ledig. Das Kapitel kann dann mit dem Gut nach Gutdünken verfahren. -- A und B von gleicher Hand, textlich übereinstimmend, obwohl es sich um Gegenurkunden handelt. A (Urkunde des Kapitels) besiegelt von Alheid und Konrad, B (Urkunde der Bürgen) besiegelt vom Kapitel. -- A und B:{'name': 'BAdW', 'uri': 'badw.png'

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ

    No full text
    The ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5. The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%. Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations

    The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function

    No full text
    This thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
