Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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

Rhinophis lineatus Gower & Maduwage 2011
No full textRhinophis lineatus Gower & Maduwage, 2011 Rhinophis lineatus Gower & Maduwage, 2011: 53. TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype: CAS 226024. Paratypes: CAS 225806, CAS 226025-226035, and CAS 226042-226044. TYPE LOCALITY. — Harasbedda, near Ragala, Central province, Sri Lanka. ETYMOLOGY. — From the Latin lineatus for ‘lined’, referring to the dorsal color-pattern. DISTRIBUTION. — This species is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in the central hills of the wet zone of Sri Lanka, c. 1460 m (Gower & Maduwage 2011; Wallach et al. 2014). DESCRIPTION Maximum total length c. 290 mm, ventrals 182-195, subcaudals 4-7, dorsal scales in 17 rows at midbody (see Gower & Maduwage 2011). Distinctive color-pattern, with regular, narrow, longitudinal stripes (alternating pale/dark) around and along almost the entire body. It is the only species in the genus characterised by a colour pattern of multiple, narrow longitudinal stripes. REMARKS This species was referred to as Rhinophis sp. 1 by Cadle et al. (1990), who demonstrated its distinctiveness using allozyme data. A specimen of this species was mis-labeled as R. drummondhayi by de Silva (1990; see Gower & Maduwage 2011).Published as part of Pyron, Robert Alexander, Ganesh, Sumaithangi Rajagopalan, Sayyed, Amit, Sharma, Vivek, Wallach, Van & Somaweera, Ruchira, 2016, A catalogue and systematic overview of the shield-tailed snakes (Serpentes: Uropeltidae), pp. 453-506 in Zoosystema 38 (4) on page 482, DOI: 10.5252/z2016n4a2, http://zenodo.org/record/457834
