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
Hemingway’s \u3cem\u3eThe Dangerous Summer\u3c/em\u3e: The Complete Annotations
No full textComprehensive guide to the people, places, events, and other allusions making up Hemingway’s final book on Spain and the bullring. Mandel identifies, explains, and interprets each entry, bringing to bear her extensive knowledge of both author and taurine history and politics. Her introduction surveys Hemingway’s lifelong fascination with the corrida before moving into a discussion of the many elements comprising the bullfight, from bull breeding to taurine laws. Mandel closes her introduction with an overview of the complicated composition, revision, editing, and publication of the various versions of the narrative. Includes a dozen black-and-white photographs, extensive endnotes, and index
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
Subject and Author: The Literary Backgrounds of \u3cem\u3eDeath in the Afternoon\u3c/em\u3e
No full textProvides two bibliographies of literature that influenced Hemingway’s writing of the book, including memoirs, histories, novels, and travel guides. The first covers a broad range of English-language works on Spain and the bullfight, specifically identifying those owned by Hemingway. The second annotates Hemingway’s readings on the subject in Spanish, French, and English. In her detailed introduction, Mandel explains the place Death in the Afternoon holds as one of the most accurate and respected books on bullfighting in Spain, with Hemingway’s volume closer to the Spanish tradition of writing on the bullfight than the English
Characterizing crystallizations among Lins-Mandel 4-coloured graphs
No full textIn [Discr. Math. 57 (1985), 261-284], Lins and Mandel introduce a class of 3-manifolds represented by 4-coloured graphs S(b,l,t,c) depending on a 4-tuple (b,l,t,c) of positive integers; moreover, they prove that, if the following conditions hold , , if l odd, then S(b,l,t,c) is a crystallization of an (orientable) 3-manifold.In this paper we show that the above conditions are also necessary: hence, they characterize crystallizations among Lins-Mandel graphs
