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
Listening speaks to our intuition while reading promotes analytic thought
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the American Psychological Association via the DOI in this recordAll data are available on the Open Science Framework, see
https://osf.io/wyqh6/?view_only=63c7efa4e0e840e59b3ff9f5f67569dc (Geipel & Keysar,
2021).It is widely assumed that thinking is independent of language modality because an argument
is either logically valid or invalid regardless of whether we read or hear it. This is taken for
granted in areas such as psychology, medicine and the law. Contrary to this assumption, we
demonstrate that thinking from spoken information leads to more intuitive performance
compared to thinking from written information. Consequently, we propose that people think
more intuitively in the spoken modality and more analytically in the written modality. This
effect was robust in five experiments (N = 1243), across a wide range of thinking tasks, from
simple trivia questions to complex syllogisms, and it generalized across two different
languages, English and Chinese. We show that this is consistent with neuroscientific findings
and propose that modality dependence could result from how language modalities emerge in
development and are used over time. This finding sheds new light on the way language
influences thought and has important implications for research that relies on linguistic
materials and for domains where thinking and reasoning are central such as law, medicine
and business.National Science Foundation (NSF)University of Chicago Center for International Social Science Researc
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
