Interview of Lansing resident Mitch Skory
No full textGift of Professor David Stowe.Mitch Skory recalls his life in Lansing, MI, including establishing a television sales and service business in the early days of TV, opening several other businesses, the assimilation of the Lebanese community in the Lansing area and about relations with other ethnic and racial groups, a fire which destroyed a downtown hotel, the city phone system and party lines, the establishment of the REO manufacturing company, and the city turning Washington Ave into a pedestrian mall. Skory says that he is optimistic about Lansing's future. Skory is interviewed by Rebecca Hector-Kruth and others
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
Contributions organiques naturelles et anthropiques dans les sédiments du lac de Kruth-Wildenstein (Haut-Rhin, France)
No full textInternational audienceThe study of extractable organic matter from sediment of the Kruth-Wildenstein Lake allows identification of natural allochthonous contributions (higher plants) and several contaminations: (i) pollution from road asphalts, revealed by specific biomarkers fingerprints (pentacyclic triterpanes and steranes); this contamination, mainly transported in solid phase (asphalts erosion), explains the variability of the pollution level, which depends on the sample location ; (ii) diffuse pollution constituted by PAH, probably produced by engine exhausts that have contaminated lacustrine sediments, as well as soils, by atmospheric dispersion.L'étude de la matière organique extractible de sédiments provenant du lac de Kruth-Wildenstein a permis d'identifier des contributions naturelles principalement allochtones (végétaux supérieurs) et plusieurs contaminations: (i) une pollution par des bitumes routiers révélée par l'étude de biomarqueurs spécifiques (triterpanes pentacycliques et stéranes) — cette contamination, principalement véhiculée sous forme solide (abrasion des bitumes), explique le degré de pollution variable suivant la localisation des prélèvements —, (ii) une pollution diffuse, constituée de HAP probablement générés par les rejets automobiles et semblant contaminer aussi bien les sédiments lacustres que les sols du secteur, par voie atmosphérique
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
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

Interview of Lansing resident and musician George Howard
No full textGift of Professor David Stowe.Musician George Howard says he came to Lansing from New Jersey in 1959 to be the administrator at YMCA health club and bought a second hand saxophone in order to pursue his musical ambitions in the city. Howard says that Lansing is struggling, but that he can see improvement and hopes to see the music scene expanded by addition of more jazz venues. He also talks about the old jazz scene in Lansing, about the way Old Town used to be and how much it has been improved. Howard is interviewed by Rebecca Hector-Kruth and others

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
