Geomorphological context of "plinthitic paleosols" in the mediterranean region: examples from the coast of western liguria (northern italy)
No full textThe main objectives of this study were to characterize the micromorphological and mineralogical properties
of the two plinthitic paleosols and to deduce their formation processes in relation to the geomorphological position. T h e
first described paleosol is located on High Plain of Manie and shows morphological characteristics comparable to present-
day tropical-area soils, being characterised by the presence of a deep and thick plinthitic horizon overlying a saprolite.
Instead the second paleosol is characterised by a thick petroplinthitic horizon and it related to relic terraced landforms
of marine origin with very weathered marine and continental deposits on their preserved surfaces. The micromorphological
evidence, supported by the mineralogical analyses, suggests a polygenetic origin for this paleosols, in
which different geomorphological context played a role both on soil development and profile preservation
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
