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

Faculty Committee on Tenure and Academic Freedom's complaint, Edward H. Lauer v. Professor Garland Ethel, 1947-1948
No full textThis is a copy of the official document of the Faculty Committee on Tenure and Academic Freedom, the complainant is Edward H. Lauer, Dean of Arts and Sciences, against Professor Garland Ethel, of the University of Washington’s English Department. Professor Ethel has been charged with “incompetency, neglect of duty, physical or mental incapacity, dishonesty or immorality, and conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude.” According to this document the main reason suit was being filed against Professor Ethel was because of an interview he had with Raymond B. Allen, President of the University of Washington during the Canwell Committee trials. The document states “no effort was made by [Ethel] to explain his connection with said [Communist] Party to Dr. Allen, or to any other responsible superior Faculty member, nor did he in any wise endeavor to assist them in preparing for any hearings that might be held or charges that might be made against the University because of membership in and association with the Communist Party at any time, but to the contrary remained silent, and thereby knowingly concealed facts which it was his duty to disclose, and he particularly concealed the fact that he was or had been member of the Communist Party.” All markings and writing are in Professor Ethel’s own hand.Garland Ethel was born in Okanogan County, Washington in 1899. He was educated at the University of Washington where he later taught in the English department from 1924-1969. His principle research interest was Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was one of the professors persecuted for his communist affiliations during Washington State’s Joint Legislative Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities. He was brought before the Faculty Tenure Committee at the end of 1948 with charges of neglect of duty, immorality, dishonesty and intellectual incompetence and the demand for his dismissal; he was put on academic probation for two years in 1949. Ethel would later become secretary of the American Federation of Teachers, Local 401. He died in 1980.
Edward H. Lauer received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in 1916, he became a professor at the University of Iowa in 1921, and he was later named director of Iowa’s Extension Division in 1927. In 1929 he became the fourth athletic director at University of Iowa, he resigned in 1934. Lauer would become the Dean of College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington.
Raymond B. Allen received his Ph.D. and MD from University of Minnesota. He became President of the University of Washington in 1946 until 1951. While President of the University of Washington he dealt with the Un-American Activities Committee and subsequently dismissed three professors for their affiliation with the Communist Party. He served as the first Chancellor of University of California, Los Angeles from 1951 to 1959.
The Interim Committee on Un-American Activities (Canwell Committee) operated from 1947-1949. It was a special exploratory committee of the Washington State Legislature which investigated the influence of the Communist Party in Washington State, most notably at the University of Washington. During the years the committee was active it subpoenaed and took to trial 12 of the University’s professors, three of whom were dismissed from the university for having Communist affiliations and three of whom were put on probation for years after the incident occurred
A Test of the Lauer-Postman Bulk Flow
No full textWe use Tully-Fisher distances for a sample of field late spiral galaxies to test the Lauer & Postman result suggestive of a bulk flow with respect to the cosmic microwave background reference frame, of amplitude of +689 km s-1 in the direction l = 343°, b = +52°. A total of 432 galaxies are used, subdivided between two cones, of 30° semiaperture each and pointed toward the apex and antapex of the LP motion, respectively. The peculiar velocities in the two data sets are inconsistent with a bulk flow of the amplitude claimed by Lauer & Postman. When combined in opposition, the peculiar velocity medians in shells of constant redshift width are never larger than half the amplitude of the Lauer & Postman bulk flow. Out to 5000 km s-1 the median bulk velocity in the Lauer & Postman apex-antapex cones is about 200 km s-1 or less, dropping to a value indistinguishable from zero beyond that distance. It can be excluded that field spiral galaxies within 8000 km s-1 partake of a bulk flow of the amplitude and direction reported by Lauer & Postman
Covariance properties of higher genus twist correlators under R↔ 1 R durability in orbifold conformal field theory
No full textWe study R↔ 1 R duality in simple orbifold models at arbitrary orders in string perturbation theory. It is shown that duality involves certain linear relations among twist correlators at dual radii. We derive general expressions for the coefficients of these relations and show that they can be expressed in terms of functions of the orbifold cosets obeying an algebra bearing a striking resemblance to Verlinde's fusion rule algebra. Finally, we study the behavior of the coefficients under factorization, in particular their dependence on the genus. A few examples are worked out. © 1990
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
