Getting Started as a Medical Teacher in Times of Change
No full textMedical school teaching is a skill that is very often learned on the job. The faculty comprised of researchers and clinicians are expert in many biomedical disciplines, but familiarity with learning theories and pedagogy are usually not included in their knowledge and skill sets. The pressure to see patients and acquire extramural funding leaves little time for faculty to learn how to teach. When coupled with the natural attrition of senior faculty it is necessary to start junior faculty on the correct path to being effective medical educators who are capable of lecturing and facilitating. Institutions cannot afford to have medical educators learn through trial and error. The standards set by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) are also creating an urgency to produce competent teachers as quickly as possible. Novice teachers need to be able to use these standards to align their teaching with goals, objectives and the appropriate pedagogy. This article is designed to be a self-directed guide describing some essentials that a newly hired faculty member can quickly use to get started. An institutional faculty development program can then serve to build upon and enrich the experience for the new faculty member.This is the authors' accepted manuscript of the article.

Portrait of Richard F. Jackson
No full textRichard F. “Ric” Jackson received his B.A. in applied mathematics from Johns Hopkins University (1969), an M.S. in systems engineering from Southern Methodist
University in (1970); and a D.Sc. in operations research
from George Washington University (1983). He began his career at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) as an operations research analyst in the Applied Mathematics Division in 1971. He held a series of increasingly responsible scientific and management positions and served as the U.S. Government representative on a number of national and international committees. In his NIST research, Jackson specialized in modeling complex operations addressing scheduling, routing, and facility-layout problems in flexible manufacturing systems. He published widely in the fields of flexible manufacturing, technology transfer, mathematical modeling and non-linear optimization.
In 1988 he was director of the NBS Manufacturing Technology Center’s program during its first year. The program was the forerunner of NIST’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEL). Jackson was named Deputy Director of MEL in 1989 and Director in 1996. He retired from NIST in 2000 moving to Austin Texas as Executive Director of the FIATECH Consortium for ten years.
Among the numerous awards he received were two
Department of Commerce Silver Medals and a NIST Bronze Medal. He was the author of more than 100 publications. He died on November 6, 2024

A New Framework for the Citation Indexing Paradigm
No full textA new citation indexing paradigm is proposed: the cascading citation indexing framework (c2IF, for short). It improves the way research publications are assessed for their impact in promoting science and technology. Given a collection of articles and their citation graph, citations are considered at the (article, author) level. Each one article is uniquely identified by means of the Digital Object Identifier (DOI, http://www.doi.org). To identify each one author uniquely, a Universal Author Identifier (UAI) scheme is established. In addition to the citations directly made to a given (article, author) pair, citation paths that target each one citing article are also considered. The granularity of the paradigm is further increased by introducing the concept of the chord, whereby a citation path of length one co-exists with paths of length two or higher, involving the same source- and target- articles. The c2IF output emerges in the form
of a medal standings table, analogous to the one that ranks teams at athletic events: when two (article, author) pairs receive the same number of (direct) citations, the one that is cited by more popular articles (i.e. articles that comprise targets to a larger number of paths in the citation graph), is assigned a higher rank value
