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

Seize the day Lester B. Pearson and crisis diplomacy
No full textIn this uniquely insightful and informed account of Lester B. Pearson's foreign policy in the year 1948-1957, his son Geoffrey Pearson places the "Golden Age" of Canadian diplomacy in perspective. Holding the necessary balance between nationalism and realism in a particularly unstable time emerges as Pearson's overriding achievement as Secretary of State for External Affairs. It was a time when Canadian influence was felt around the world, and it culminated with a Nobel Peace Prize for Pearson. The author examines his father's politics in the context of Cold War stand-off, relations with the United States, the pressures for collective security, and the threat of nuclear war. Research into cabinet documents, combined with more personal sources, provides an especially strong picture of the Pearson legacy and its future implications for Canadian foreign policy
