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
Decontamination of prions, prion-associated amyloid and inefectivity from surgical stainless steel - implications for the risk of iatrogenic transmission of CJD
No full textThe physicochemical nature of the infectious agent in prion diseases creates asignificant challenge for decontamination services. It has been shown to be both resistant tostandard methods of decontamination, used to inactivate viruses and bacteria, and to associateavidly with surgical stainless steel. Moreover, the pathophysiology of the variant, iatrogenicand sporadic forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) suggests deposition of the infectiousagent across a wide range of extraneural, lymphoid tissues, as well as in the skeletal muscleand blood. Coupled with the potential for asymptomatic carriers, there is a significant risk ofiatrogenic transmission of CJD through both neurosurgical procedures and standard surgery.This PhD study was undertaken in order to improve methods of instrumentdecontamination and to evaluate prion detection techniques and their applicability for theassessment of prion inactivation and removal. The project has provided relevant, criticalassessment of hospital decontamination procedures, in addition to guidance on how workingprotocols should be improved to provide a cleaner and safer end product for the patient.Moreover, laboratory studies have been performed to evaluate current methods of priondecontamination in the context of hospital procedures for instrument reprocessing. Challengesfaced by sterile service departments, such as soil drying and surface degradation, have beenaddressed and their impact on the risk of iatrogenic transmission of prions has beeninvestigated. Critically, the use of a fluorescent amyloid fluorophore for the detection of prionassociatedamyloid as a marker for disease permitted the investigation of the role of amyloidin infectious disease under denaturing conditions. Correlation of this detection technique withthe identification of PrPres by Western blot and infectious disease suggested that, whilstfluorescent detection of prion-associated amyloid was more sensitive than Western blot, PrPresdetection was more specific relative to infectivity. Improved fluorophores, with greatersensitivity, have been evaluated which will enhance in situ detection of prions in the future
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

OCCASIONALLY the first son of an English family wishes he were second, preferring the gay and easy life to
the pressure of a coronet, and many an available candidate for the house of peers has quietly slipped away to
some far corner of the earth, to lose himself in preference to entering the world of politics and submit to the
irksome conventions of its social obligations. So it came about that Howland-Jones (who is in reality Lord
Howland), comes to America, incognito, and slides down into the great lone land of Arizona, to try out himself, get
next to the people, and incidentally a lot of other "varmits," and try to earn his own living at some occupation not quite
as laborious as golf or as dangerous as polo, as extravagant as bacharat, or as assinine as sitting in the club windows,
watching the ladies crossing Picadilly, on rainy days.
The English lordling has the "h's" in his name dropped by the cowboys on the Diamond S Ranch, and becomes
known as " 'Owlin Jones," but after he gets rid of his monocle, his tweenies, (hideous checked knickerbockers that fit
only in fancy), the switch-cane and the monkey-cap (a remnant of his grenadier days), and climbs into general store
overalls (equally good, going or coming), fitted with bachelor buttons, and guaranteed to stand the strain of any bucker,
he begins to attract more respect in the eyes of the good naturedly scornful. They try him out as a joke by putting
him unwittingly on a bucking horse, but he turns the tables on them as he directs the bucker their way and keeps his
seat in the fashion that surprises the most hardened broncho buster. They find
out that although he is a lord "a man is a man for a' that," for he manages to
outdo them at most of their athletic stunts and takes to the country like one to the
manor born, and although he is the stature of a man, he settles down to grow up
with it, for the love of the new land he has found so congenial.

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

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Development of autobiographical memory in children with autism spectrum disorders : deficits, gains, and predictors of performance
No full textAutobiographical memory (AM) was assessed in 63 children (aged 8-17 years) with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and compared with 63 typically developing children matched for age, gender, IQ, and verbal ability. A range of methodologies was employed for eliciting past experience with particular focus on the ability to recall (a) specific events, (b) the recent and remote past, and (c) semantic versus episodic memories across different lifetime periods. Results indicated that the ASD group manifested difficulties in retrieving specific memories to word cues and had poorer access to the remote past. Deficits were found in the context of intact recent memory and preserved general memory abilities, with some impairment of visual memory. Problems in retrieving episodic and semantic AMs across the life span were also evident. Qualitative analysis of memory reports suggested that the ASD group was less likely to refer to emotion in their remote memories but more likely to describe emotions in their recent memories. Important predictors of AM performance in the ASD group were central executive abilities, in particular cognitive flexibility and verbal fluency.Peer reviewe
