Frank Kidd Jr. Interview, 25 February 2013
No full textFrank Kidd Jr., born in 1935, has lived in Cleveland his whole life. His parents were originally from the South (Alabama and Mississippi) but moved to Cleveland to seek refuge from harsh racism. Kidd lived most of his childhood with his grandmother, as his father served in the Army. He recalls many aspects of his childhood and teen years. Among the topics he discusses are Karamu House, restaurants in the Central neighborhood, and musical acts that played in Central nightspots. Kidd is a strong advocate for the Central area and aims to improve the neighborhood through his various influential programs. He wants to bring back the vibrancy in the neighborhood that he remembers seeing as he watched his children grow up
Frank Kidd Jr. Interview, 25 February 2013
No full textFrank Kidd Jr., born in 1935, has been a resident of Cleveland his whole life. His parents were originally from the south (Alabama and Mississippi), but moved to Cleveland to seek refuge from the brutal racism that still lingered post-slavery. Kidd lived most of his childhood with his grandmother, as his father served in the army. He looks fondly back on many aspects of his childhood and teen years. Kidd is a strong advocate for the Cedar-Central area and aims to improve the neighborhood through his various influential programs, most notably save the children . In 2010, the mayor awarded Kidd with a key to the city for his inspiring efforts. He moved to the neighborhood with his wife and children, because his kids had asthma and needed steamed heating, which was provided in these specific residencies. Kidd recalls how the area formerly thrived in various ways. He really wants to bring back the vibrancy in the neighborhood that he remembers seeing as he watched his children grow up. Of the many generational changes that have influenced the area\u27s decline, Kidd is most disturbed by the lack of a father in the average household. He believes that, without a father, future generations will not move forward. Kidd wants children being raised in Cleveland today to possess the fond memories he has
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

Study of 47 DNA markers in five populations from four continents
No full textForty seven DNA markers from 30 genes or chromosomal regions were investigated in five populations (Biaka and Mbuti Pygmies, Melanesians, Chinese and Caucasoids). Both the variation between populations (measured by FST) and between markers is highly significant. The average heterozygosity for all markers is .284 and the average FST is .145. There was no significant difference in the FST values, or in the average heterozygosity between known genes and random segments. The FST distance between all populations considered in pairs, and averaged over all loci favours a primary split between Eurasia and Africa, but this conclusion is neither statistically significant nor uncomplicated. Condensing the 47 markers into 30 "genes" where 10 were treated as haplotypes, it was found that the haplotypes always give higher FST's than the separate markers, although similar conclusions can be drawn
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
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
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
