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
Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer, Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, October 2, 1942
No full textLetter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide

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

The Polish Community in Vienna in the Works of Radek Knapp
No full textSpołeczności polskiej za granicą poświęcono liczne opracowania naukowe. Docierają one jednak do wąskiej grupy uczonych. Sposobnością do zaprezentowania tej kwestii szerszemu gronu czytelników jest twórczość literacka. W odniesieniu do Polaków w Wiedniu wyróżnia się urodzony w 1964 r. w Warszawie Radek Knapp. W wieku 12 lat wyjechał do stolicy Austrii, gdzie zamieszkiwała jego matka. Miasto to i jego mieszkańców prezentuje on, sięgając po specyficzne poczucie humoru, korzystając obficie z osobistych doświadczeń zawodowych. W popularnym odbiorze Wiedeń jawi się jako jedno z najwspanialszych miejsc na świecie. Codzienność pokazuje, że sprawy są bardziej skomplikowane. Knapp podkreśla, że pomimo wad tego miasta on je lubi i się w nim dobrze czuje. Dobrze się w nim również czują Polacy i inni imigranci.Numerous scientific studies have been devoted to the Polish community abroad. However, they reach a small group of scientists. Literature is an opportunity to present this issue to a wider audience. When it comes to Poles in Vienna, Radek Knapp, born in 1964 in Warsaw, stands out. At the age of 12, he left for the Austrian capital, where his mother lived. He presents the city and its inhabitants by reaching for a specific sense of humour, using abundantly from personal professional experience. Vienna is commonly perceived as one of the most wonderful places in the world. Everyday life shows that things are more complicated. Knapp emphasizes that despite the shortcomings of this city, he likes it and feels good there. Poles and other immigrants also feel comfortable there
