Manfred Mayer-Zachart Collection 1860-1942 Bulk dates: 1915-1939
No full textThis collection comprises the papers of the physician Manfred Mayer-Zachart, including material on his family, service in World War I and professional work. The papers include a large amount of family correspondence, including wartime letters, medical articles, and many photographs. In addition there is some professional correspondence and educational and family papers. Notes on patients are included in the collection but access to them is restricted.Manfred Mayer-Zachart, born in Berlin in 1865, was the son of Josef Mayer and his wife Gertrud Zachart. By 1921 Manfred Mayer had added his mother's maiden name to his own. On May 3, 1915 he entered the German army, where he served in World War I as an assistant surgeon and was wounded three times. In 1923 he received his medical degree from the University of Berlin.From 1924-1928 Manfred Mayer-Zachart worked as associate physician at the Universitäts-Polyklink der Charité in Berlin, where he specialized in cases involving internal medicine. From April 1932 until his emigration in 1934 he worked for the Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse Chemnitz (Regional Health Insurance of Chemnitz). In October 1932 he married Kate Hirsch. The following year the couple were separated while he spent some time in Paris recuperating from an illness.In 1934 they immigrated to the United States via Paris, arriving on the ship American Merchant from London. For three years after his arrival in New York City Manfred Mayer-Zachart worked at Mount Sinai Hospital as well as one year at City Hospital. In 1938 he moved his practice to the town of Dunkirk in western New York.Manfred Mayer-Zachart died of a heart attack in New York City on February 18, 1942.Dr. Manfred Mayer-Zachart served as president of the German Jewish Congregation in New York since 1936, but there are no documnets pertaining to such activities in this collection.Dr. Manfred Mayer-Zachart’s papers were discovered by consequent owners of his house in Dunkirk, NY. They were donated to USHMM in Washington, DC, and then transferred to the Leo Baeck Institute New York.Processeddigitize
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
Appropriate 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
