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

Marcuzzi/ XI-1999] [Holotypus / <i>Praocis</i> / <i>baloghi</i> / Marcuzzi, 2000] [Museo Civico di Genova] (MSNG).</p> <p> <b>Discussion.</b> Marcuzzi (2001) assigned <i>Praocis baloghi</i> to the subgenus <i>Anthrasomus</i> Guérin-Méneville, but according to the key of Kulzer (1958) it clearly belongs to the subgenus <i>Praocida</i> by having prosternum horizontal, with anterior margin broad, elytra with lateral margin broad and double, external carina joined to the lateral margin; on the other hand, species of <i>Anthrasomus</i> are recognized by prosternum inclined forward, with anterior margin finer and well marked, elytra without external carina, with lateral margin single and rounded. After studying the types of species of the subgenus <i>Praocida</i>, I found that <i>Praocis baloghi</i> is a synonym of <i>P. montana</i> based on the characters shared by both nominal species (Figs. 9–10): pronotum with lateral margin concave, arcuate in anterior half, almost parallel in posterior half, narrowing from base towards anterior margin, anterior angles subacute, base bisinuate, posterior angles acute, disc with sparse punctures separated by a distance twice the diameter of a puncture, with a smooth area on the center, with a row of long, finer, golden setae arising on punctures between lateral margin and disc; elytra with sparse big punctures, twice the size of pronotal punctures, with two equidistant carinae not elevated, the internal weakly demarcated, joining together at posterior end, lateral margin with sparse long, finer, golden setae arising on protuberances.</p>Published as part of <i>Flores, Gustavo E., 2009, Revision of some types of the South American tribes Nycteliini, Praocini, and Scotobiini (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), with new synonymies, pp. 21-33 in Zootaxa 1985</i> on pages 26-27, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/274647">10.5281/zenodo.274647</a>

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
