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

Holotype female, four paratype females and one paratype male, litter and moss, Otway Ranges, 250–350 m, Victoria, coll. 24.xii. 1991 (ANIC Berlesate no. 3844). Label data for this sample is incomplete, though it was probably collected just off the Great Ocean Road in the area between Tall Trees and Maits Rest, Otway National Park (ca. 38 ° 45 ’E 143 ° 33 ’S). This area, within the upper catchments of the Calder, Parker and Elliot Rivers, contains intact, continuous stands of cool temperate Nothofagus rainforest. Holotype and one paratype female deposited in Department of Entomology, Museum Victoria, Melbourne. Remaining paratypes in Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO Entomology, Canberra. Etymology. This species is named after the Gadubanud Aboriginal People, whose traditional country was the rainforest plateau and coastline of Cape Otway, Western Victoria. Remarks. The association of the male and the female is based on the characteristic tuberculate interbothridial ridge, caudal apophyses and short, spiniform setae c 3. Crotonia gadubanudi sp. nov. is a member of the Cophinaria species group (Wallwork, 1977; Luxton, 1982; Colloff, 2009 b). It differs from all other species in the genus by the following combination of characters: 1) setae c 3 short, spiniform; 2) inter-bothridial ridge with line of tubercles on posterior and medial margins; 3) transverse division of the genital plates; 4) lateral line of tubercles along the edge of the notogastral shield adjacent to the hyaline strip and the dorsosejugal margin; 5) humeral extensions bearing lyrifissurae ia; 6) long, spiniform lateral bothridial auriculae, lobed along their posterior margins. Crotonia gadubanudi sp. nov. is morphologically most similar to C. jethurmerae Lee, 1985 with which it shares the following character states: 1) long, spiniform lateral bothridial auriculae, though those of C. jethurmerae lack the posterior lobes; 2) apophyses of setae f 1 and h 1 separated by a distance of about twice their length; 3) with tuberculate anal and adanal plates; 4) with long, pointed bothridial auriculae; 5) short, stout, subequal setae cp and e 2. Crotonia gadubanudi sp. nov. differs from C. jethurmerae in the short, spiniform setae c 3 and the morphology of the interbothridial ridge.Published as part of Colloff, Matthew J. & Perdomo, Giselle, 2009, New species of Crotonia (Acari: Oribatida: Camisiidae) from Nothofagus and Eucalyptus forests in Victoria, Australia, with a redescription of the fossil species Crotonia ramus (Womersley, 1957), pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 2217 on pages 23-27, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18996
