    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    Brief twice-weekly episodes of hypoglycemia reduce detection of clinical hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

    We tested the hypothesis that as few as two weekly brief episodes of superimposed hypoglycemia (i.e., doubling the average frequency of symptomatic hypoglycemia) would reduce physiological and behavioral defenses against developing hypoglycemia and reduce detection of clinical hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Compared with nondiabetic controls, six patients with well-controlled T1DM (HbA1c, 7.5 +/- 0.7% [mean +/- SD]) exhibited absent glucagon responses and reduced epinephrine (P = 0.0027), norepinephrine (P = 0.0007), pancreatic polypeptide (P = 0.0030), and neurogenic symptom (P = 0.0451) responses to hypoglycemia as expected. In these patients, 2 h of induced hypoglycemia (50 mg/dl, 2.8 mmol/l) twice weekly for 1 month, compared in a random-sequence crossover design with an otherwise identical 2 h of induced hyperglycemia (150 mg/dl, 8.3 mmol/l) twice weekly for 1 month, further reduced the epinephrine (P = 0.0001) and pancreatic polypeptide (P = 0.0030) responses, tended to further reduce the norepinephrine and neurogenic symptom responses to hypoglycemia, and reduced cognitive dysfunction during hypoglycemia (P = 0.0271), all assessed in the investigational setting. In the clinical setting, induced hypoglycemia did not alter overall glycemic control, but did reduce the total number of symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes detected by the patients from 49 to 30 per month and lowered the mean +/- SE self-monitored blood glucose level during symptomatic hypoglycemia from 51 +/- 2 mg/dl (2.8 +/- 0.1 mmol/l) to 46 +/- 3 mg/dl (2.6 +/- 0.2 mmol/l) (P < 0.01). It also reduced the proportion of low regularly scheduled self-monitored values that were symptomatic by approximately 33%. Thus as little as doubling the frequency of symptomatic hypoglycemia further reduced both the key epinephrine response and clinical awareness of developing hypoglycemia, changes reasonably expected to increase the risk of severe iatrogenic hypoglycemia in T1DM

    Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?

    In this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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

    No full text
    We 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
