Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
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

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

No full textAbstract— The effect of nematode Steinernema carpocapsae on cat flea larvae and pupae in different substrates was studied. Nematode application to potting soil, sand, or gravel substrates containing flea eggs, larvae or pupae reduced adult flea emergence; the effects on sand and gravel were equivalent to and greater than the effects on soil. To determine if the cat flea cocoon provides protection from nematodes, pupae in cocoons of silk, sand and silk, or naked (without cocoons) were placed in close proximity to nematodes. All pupae in cocoons or naked were susceptible to nematode attack. When nematode numbers were increased from one to 25 per cocoon the chance for flea infections also increased. Résumé— Les effets du nématode steinerma carpocapsae sur les larves et nymphes de puces de chat dans différents substrats sont étudiés, L\u27application de némadodes sur des substrats de terre, de sable ou de gravier contenant des oeufs de puces, des larves ou des nymphes, réduit l\u27émergence de puces adultes; les effets sur le sable ou le gravier sont identiques et supérieurs à ceux obtenus lors d\u27application sur de la terre. Pour déterminer si le cocon de la puce de chat fournit une protection contre les nématodes, des nymphes dans des cocons de soie, de sable et de soie, ou nues sont placées à proximité des nématodes. Toutes les nymphes nues ou dans des cocons sont sensibles aux attaques des nematodes. Quand le nombre de nématodes par cocon est augmenté de un à 25 la probabilité d\u27infection des puces est également augmentée. [Henderson, G., Manweiler, S. A., Lawrence, W. J., Templeman, R.

Resumen— Se estudió el efecto del nemátodo Steinernema carpocapsae en las larvas y crisálidas de la pulga del gato en diferentes substratos. La aplicación del nemátoto en la tierra, arena o grava para deposiciones con huevos, larvas o crisálidas de pulga redució la salida del adulto; los efectos sobre la arena o grava fueron similares y superiores a los efectos sobre la tierra. Para determinar si el capullo de la pulga del gato protege de los nemátodos, se colocaron crisálidas en capullos de seda, de seda y arena y desnudas (sin capullos) muy cerca de los nemátodos. Todas las crisálidas en capullos o desnudas eran susceptibles al ataque de los nemátodos. Cuando se incrementaba el número de nemátodos de uno a 25 por capullo, también aumentaban las probabilidades de infestación de las pulgas. [Henderson, G., Manweiler, S. A., Lawrence, W.
