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.

No full textGoing 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

Análise microespacial do asentamento prehistórico de Monte dos Remedios (Moaña, Pontevedra)
No full textNeste traballo preténdese estudar algunhas das evidencias estruturais e gran parte da cultura material documentadas durante a escavación do asentamento prehistórico de Monte dos Remedios (Moaña, Pontevedra) por medio do uso de Sistemas de Información Xeográfica (GRASS-GIS, Quantum GIS, etc.) e de programas de análise estatístico de código aberto (R). De esta forma, abórdanse as problemáticas do asentamento e prantéxanse as relacións entre os propios materiais arqueolóxicos recuperados (cerámica, artefactos líticos…) e as principais estruturas identificadas (buratos de poste, pavimentos…) co fin de intentar achegar datos sobre a natureza e finalidade de ditos restos estruturais.This work deals with the structures and the material culture recovered during the archaeological excavation of the prehistoric settlement of Monte dos Remedios (Moaña, Pontevedra) by using Geographic Information Systems (GRASS-GIS, Quantum GIS, etc...) and open-source statistical analysis programs (R). Thus, we will focus on describing the characteristics of this settlement and on analyzing the relationships between the archaeological material culture (pottery, lithics...) and the main structures identified (post-holes, pavements...) with a view to provide new data on the nature and functionality of such structural evidences
Remedios Varo's Feminine, Spiritual Quest
No full textRemedios Varo occupies a marginal position in the Surrealist canon, despite her direct involvement with Breton’s circle and in spite of the fact that her work is attributed a universal significance. It has been interpreted as representing a journey towards identity and freedom, a search for female empowerment, and as a spiritual quest. Moreover, critical focus on the mythic/exoteric ‘female’ quest has been to the detriment of the mystical/esoteric significance of the paintings. This article argues that it is in the combination of these strands that Varo’s radicalism might be found. It shows that by presenting a female, spiritual quest for enlightenment—which exists apart from a traditionally male-dominated, western religious schema—Varo circumvented her ordained role within the artistic, spiritual, and political communities of which she was a part. <br/
