Joseph M. Genco
No full textJoseph M. Genco was born April 13, 1939. He earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering at Case Institute of Technology in 1960, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering at Ohio State University in 1962 and 1965 respectively.
Genco began his career at Battelle Memorial Institute in 1965. He joined the University of Maine Department of Chemical Engineering as an Associate Professor in 1974. In 1976 he was named Calder Professor of Pulp and Paper Engineering. He was promoted to full-Professor in 1980.
Starting in 1976, Genco taught the University\u27s pulp and paper courses as well as developing an active industrial consulting practice. In 1992, he was named Director of the University of Maine Pulp and Paper Pilot Plant and began a three-year term as Interim Chemical Engineering Department Chair.
With his own research interests in oxygen delignification, refining, pulping, and pulp bleaching, Genco directed more than 30 Ph.D. and M.S. theses students through the program. He has published in excess of 100 technical papers.
According to Genco, “Oxygen delignification has emerged as an important processing technology for bleach plants in the 21st century. Understanding the effect of process conditions in an oxygen stage on fiber properties, especially inter-fiber bonding has great industrial significance, because inter-fiber bonding influences virtually all paper properties. The objective of this work is to investigate fundamentally how oxygen bleaching effects inter-fiber bond strength.”
Genco’s association with the Pulp and Paper Foundation began in 1976 when he joined the faculty of the Pulp and Paper Summer Institute. He participated on the Open House committee for 20 years. He was a member of the Research Committee since 1977.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/ppf_images/1031/thumbnail.jp

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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

No full textAppropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
