Chamberlin and Ivie 1932: 27, fig. 63 (not 64 = C. hummeli spec. nov.). Cybaeus hesper Chamberlin and Ivie 1932: 27, figs 65–66. Chamberlin and Ivie 1937: 225. Roewer 1954: 90. Roth and Brown 1986: 3. Copley et al. 2009: 372, fig. 8. World Spider Catalog 2021. Cybaeus minoratus Gertsch 1936: 14 (replacement name for C. minor Banks). Cybaeus hesperus: Bonnet 1956: 1301 (unjustified emendation). Nomenclatural notes. Cybaeus minor Banks is a junior homonym of C. minor Chyzer and therefore unavailable. Cybaeus hesper has age precedence over C. minoratus, Gertsch’s (1936) replacement name for C. minor Banks. Chamberlin and Ivie (1932) were unable to examine Bank’s specimens and based their redescription of C. minor upon a single female from Stanford. The genitalic morphology of their specimen agrees well with Banks’ female syntype but is not the specimen they used for the purpose of illustrating the epigynum of C. minor (Chamberlin and Ivie 1932, fig. 64). That figure is almost certainly of the epigynum of a previously undescribed species of the consocius group described below as C. hummeli spec. nov. Chamberlin and Ivie (1932) provided no etymological explanation for the species name hesper. We assume it is a shortened version of the Latin noun hesperus (translated as evening star, evening, or west) and was intended to reflect the western California distribution of this species. If so, then, as suggested by Bonnet (1956: “Il vaut mieux ecrire hesperus ”), the correct spelling should be hesperus. No provision of the Code suggests emending the spelling of a Latin noun lacking its expected suffix, however, and subsequent authors have used the original spelling without commenting upon Bonnet’s emendation. Following Roth and Brown (1986), Copley et al. (2009), and World Spider Catalog (2021) we accept the original spelling, hesper, as correct and consider Bonnet’s emendation to be unjustified. Type material examined. U.S.A.: California: Holotype male of C. hesper, Santa Clara County, Stanford University, spring 1921, J.C. Chamberlin (AMNH). 1 male, 1 female, syntypes of C. minor, Los Angeles County, Claremont, no date, Baker, (MCZ). Other material examined. U.S.A.: California: San Mateo. 1♀, Page Mill Rd. at Skyline Blvd., ~ 7.2 km E of La Honda, 2.iv.1994, D. Ubick & J. Boutin (CAS); 1♀, Redwood City, 22.i.1946, P.H. Arnaud (CAS); 1♂ (palpus only), Skyline Blvd. at King’s Mtn., 18.viii.1928, J.C. Chamberlin (AMNH); Santa Clara. 1♀, Page Mill Rd., 0.3 mi. E of Skyline Blvd., 24.v.1992, D. Ubick & J. Boutin (CAS); 1♀, Stanford [University], no date, R. V. Chamberlin (AMNH). Diagnosis. The male of C. hesper is unlikely to be confused with the males of the other species in the consocius group and is diagnosed by the unique form of the proximal arm of the tegular apophysis (Figs 11–12, 21), in particular the small terminal indentation producing a distinct (but inconspicuous) bifid tip (Fig. 11, 21). The female of C. hesper is only likely to be confused with the females of C. consocius or C. hummeli spec. nov.; distinguishing the females of these three species is discussed under C. consocius. Description. Ventral tibia I macrosetae: 2-1p-2-1p-0. Male: (n=3). Patellar apophysis (Fig. 10) nearly as long as width of patella, with less than ten peg setae dorsally. Proximal arm of tegular apophysis (Fig. 11–12, 21) with a rounded ridge anteriorly and extending posterolaterally). Measurements (n=2). Holotype of C. hesper, male syntype of C. minor respectively: CL 2.16, 2.33; CW 1.64, 1.73; SL 1.02, 1.13; SW 0.99, 1.12. Female: (n=5). Atrium (Fig. 13) with inconspicuous anterior border. Copulatory ducts (Figs 14–15) somewhat membranous, extending anteriorly beyond the anterior margin of the atrium a distance of up to approximately 2/5 the distance between the anterior atrial margin and the epigastric groove. Spermathecal stalks well separated (Fig. 15). Measurements (n=3). Female syntype of C. minor CL 2.05, CW 1.40, SL 1.04, SW 1.00. Redwood City and Stanford females: CL 2.13, 2.7; CW 1.48, 1.83; SL 1.12, 1.30; SW 1.01, 1.24. Distribution and natural history. Apparently restricted to San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties southwest of San Francisco Bay, California (Fig. 84). We believe the record from the Los Angeles area (two syntypes of C. minor) to be mislabeled: no other species of the consocius group is known to range that far south and no further specimens of C hesper have been recorded from the Los Angeles area subsequent to the original description of C. minor over 100 years ago. It is not included on the distribution map. Mature males have been collected in “spring” and August.Published as part of Bennett, Robb, Copley, Claudia & Copley, Darren, 2021, Cybaeus (Araneae: Cybaeidae): the consocius species group of the Californian clade, pp. 401-436 in Zootaxa 4965 (3) on pages 407-409, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4965.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/475253

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
Full text linkBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text linkWe 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
