Traditions west of the Euphrates at the beginning of the Late Chalcolithic. Characteristics, definitions, and supra-regional correlations
No full textThis paper discusses the relationships between the Turkish Upper Euphrates and regions located to the
southwest, near the Syro-Turkish border, during the early stages of the Late Chalcolithic period. This period
is best represented in these regions by the sites of Arslantepe and Oylum Höyük. While a detailed presentation
of the early Late Chalcolithic occupation levels of Arslantepe and Oylum Höyük is provided elsewhere
in this volume, their pottery assemblages are here compared in order to identify common characteristics,
together with interregional connections with contemporary sites located to the north, the west and the east.This paper discusses the relationships between the Turkish Upper Euphrates and regions located to the

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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 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
De la Mésopotamie urukéenne à l'Egypte prédynastique : commentaire sur les articles de G. Stein et al. et de B. Helwing
No full textThe thesis held by G. Stein and his collaborators of a Urukian colony maintaining itself during about five centuries with practically no cultural intercourse with the host community is a priori of little credibility. The facts presented by B. Helwing would rather incite to consider Hacinebi as an outpost in a slow movement of Urukian cultural expansion towards regions whose resources - mining in particular - were coveted. This interpretation is not contradicted by the analyses of another contemporary movement of territorial expansion, that of Egypt towards South Palestine in the Early Bronze Age I. Illustrated by a relatively abundant archaeological documentation in both countries, the egypto-palestinian relations correspond better, a priori to the colonial definition than to the supposed relations between South Mesopotamian and Syro-Anatolian. However, Egyptian colonies stricto sensu, according to the definition of G. Stein et al., did not appear suddenly, but only after some centuries of Egyptian presence.La thèse défendue par G. Stein et ses collaborateurs d'une colonie urukéenne ayant subsisté à Hacinebi pendant environ cinq siècles en n'entretenant avec la communauté hôte pratiquement aucun échange culturel est a priori peu crédible. Les faits présentés par B. Helwing invitent plutôt à considérer Hacinebi comme un avant-poste dans un lent mouvement ď expansion culturelle urukéen opéré en direction de régions dont les ressources - en particulier minières - étaient convoitées. Cette interprétation n 'est pas contredite par l'analyse d'un autre mouvement d'expansion territoriale contemporain, celui de l'Egypte en direction de la Palestine méridionale au Bronze ancien I. Illustrées par une documentation archéologique relativement abondante attestée dans les deux pays, les relations égypto-palestiniennes correspondent mieux, a priori, à la définition coloniale que les relations supposées entre la Mésopotamie du sud et la Syro-Anatolie. Pourtant, les colonies égyptiennes stricto sensu, au sens où l'entendent G. Stein et al., ne sont pas apparues d'emblée, mais seulement après quelques siècles de présence égyptienne.De Miroschedji Pierre.

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo 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
A multiproxy approach to identify occupation and mobility patterns of a pastoral community of the late fourth millennium at Arslantepe (Period VI B1).
No full textThe paper discusses pastoralism within the context of a case study at Arslantepe
(Malatya) in Eastern Turkey during Period VI B1. which dates to the end of the fourth
millennium BCE. This period saw significant changes in the settlement’s architecture
and occupation patterns following the destruction of the Uruk period’s monumental
palatial complex. The paper employs a multiproxy as well as a multiscalar approach,
integrating material culture, geoarchaeological, and bioarchaeological evidence. The
results reveal that the community in VI B1 practiced both transhumant pastoralism
reaching as far as the highlands of East and Central Anatolia and small-scale
farming. This suggests that the community had a mobile lifestyle while maintaining a
connection to the settlement
