Publication models in a changing environment: bibliometric analysis of books and book chapters using publications by Surrey Beatty & Sons
No full textExpectations and patterns of publication have changed markedly with evolving online availability and associated development of new citation gathering databases. Perhaps the most vulnerable components of the scientific literature to ongoing change are books and book chapters, given their elongated publication timelines and generally more limited online availability. To test this, we applied citation analyses and assessments of library holdings to determine the use of the natural history books published by Surrey Beatty & Sons between 1987 and 2010. We (i) evaluated the relative use of book chapters and journal papers by comparing citations to chapters in the five books of the Nature Conservation series by Surrey Beatty & Sons to citations of journal chapters in four Australian journals published in the same years, (ii) determined the efficacy of four different databases in retrieving citations to book chapters by comparing their recovery of citations to the five books of the Nature Conservation series, and (iii) quantified noncitation measures related to library holdings to evaluate the use of the books on the entire Surrey Beatty & Sons list.
Mean citations/chapter to the first three books in the Nature Conservation series were similar to the mean citations/paper in four Australian journals published in the same years. However, the mean citations/chapter of the last two books declined relative to citations/paper for the journals, suggesting a fall in book use evident by early this century. Citation retrieval varied across databases; Google Scholar retrieved most citations, followed by Scopus, Web of Science (Cited Reference Search) and Web of Knowledge. Contrary to published concerns, no citations retrieved by Google Scholar were in questionable sources such as contents pages - many were from highly ranked journals.
Each book in the full Surrey Beatty & Sons list was held by an average of 45.3 libraries in Australia and 36.1 in the USA, and less than five in each of the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Canada, Germany and South Africa. This was a similar coverage to another Australian publisher, the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, and indicated strong markets in Australia and the USA. It was less, though, than the number of libraries with current or past subscriptions to five Australian journals publishing nature conservation content.
We conclude that citation data for books and book chapters are available and that library holdings provide another measure of use. The online ‘visibility’ of books may be a problem, but can be improved through better marketing and improved author search techniques

Willard Beatty and Progressive Indian Education
No full textWillard W. Beatty (1891–1961) lived most of his early life in San Francisco. As a teenager there, Beatty experienced the first philosophic influence on his life—a profound influence that he would later incorporate into much of his educational philosophy. As a high school student, Beatty attended the California School of Mechanical Arts, or the James Lick School—a secondary trade school for high school students “drawn from the whole state of California.” His son, Walcott H. Beatty, in a letter to this author noted, “I believe that it was his experience [at the James Lick School] which greatly influenced his thinking with regard to education.”
The James Lick School offered an educational program that was vocational in nature and whose hallmark was a successful apprenticeship program. The founder of the school, James Lick, was a self-made millionaire and a piano maker by profession. A self-educated man, Lick never forgot his origin as a skilled mechanic. He continually sought to enhance his own education not as a means of escape for the laboring man but as a “means to enriched living.” Willard Beatty wrote in 1944 that “Lick thought of things of the spirit, not merely of material well-being. . . . In this he anticipated by a generation the philosophy of the British Labor Party.
Beatty, J.F., and the Law of Manslaughter
No full textIn this article, the author argues that the recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions in R. v. Beatty and R. v. J.F. have clarified several of the issues that have plagued the increasingly complicated offence of manslaughter. In particular, the decisions address the redundancy among the many manslaughter provisions in the Criminal Code, the need to define a clear separation between actus reus and mens rea, and the need to establish distinct categories of objective fault for different types of manslaughter offences. The author examines the legal background of these decisions as well as the current state of the law. He concludes by identifying emerging issues relating to the offence of manslaughter, arguing that the law remains convoluted and in need of urgent reform despite the progress made in the Beatty and J.F. decisions
Morphic words, Beatty sequences and integer images of the Fibonacci language
No full textMorphic words are letter-to-letter images of fixed points x of morphisms on finite alphabets. There are situations where these letter-to-letter maps do not occur naturally, but have to be replaced by a morphism. We call this a decoration of x. Theoretically, decorations of morphic words are again morphic words, but in several problems the idea of decorating the fixed point of a morphism is useful. We present two of such problems. The first considers the so called AA sequences, where α is a quadratic irrational, A is the Beatty sequence defined by A(n)=⌊αn⌋, and AA is the sequence (A(A(n))). The second example considers homomorphic embeddings of the Fibonacci language into the integers, which turns out to lead to generalized Beatty sequences with terms of the form V(n)=p⌊αn⌋+qn+r, where p,q and r are integers.Applied Probabilit
