Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
"Denn entscheide nicht ich, so wird über mich entschieden". Peter Petersen als politischer Reformpädagoge - eine programmatische Neubewertung
Die politische Dimension im Handeln Petersens blieb bislang ausgeblendet. Wegen dieses Defizits wird er heute durchgehend als unpolitischer Pädagoge begriffen. Tatsächlich hat Petersen ab den 1920er Jahren kontinuierlich die Aufrechterhaltung vorhandener Spielräume, den Ausbau und die Abschirmung des eigenen Reformprojekts betrieben. Der Beitrag beleuchtet seinen strategisch-zielorientierten Schulterschluss mit diversen politischen Entscheidungsträgern und legt als Folge eine Handlungstheorie vor, die den politischen Kern in Petersens Werk offenbart. (DIPF/Orig.)The political dimension of Peter Petersen\u27s actions has as yet not been taken into account. Due to this deficit, he is still considered a thoroughly a-political pedagogue. But, in fact, Petersen had, since the 1920s, steadily pursued the maintenance of existing scopes of action, as well as the development and shielding of his own reform project. The author examines his strategic and targeted closing of ranks with diverse political decision-makers and submits a theory of action which reveals the political core of Petersen\u27s work.

Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
"Ich werde rücksichtslos gegen den Liberalismus, Demokratie und das Judentum schreiben und reden". Zum Rassismus und Antisemitismus in der Jenaplan-Pädagogik nach 1933
In den letzten Jahren wurden immer mehr Dokumente aufgefunden, die die problematische Stellung Peter Petersens und seiner Jenaplan-Pädagogik im polykratischen NS-Erziehungssystem schattieren. Bislang ist man davon ausgegangen, dass Petersen trotz dieser problematischen Stellung seine Pädagogik weitgehend von rassistischen und antisemitischen Vorstellungen frei gehalten hat. Der Beitrag führt auf Grundlage von in letzter Zeit entdeckten Quellen aus, dass diese Sichtweise nicht mehr haltbar ist. Vielmehr äußerte sich Petersen bereits im Sommer 1933 massiv antisemitisch und übernahm gegen Ende der 1930er Jahre verstärkt "rassenhygienische" Positionen der Jenaer Universitätsführung, die ihn mindestens zum Legitimator des nationalsozialistischen Terrorsystems machten. (DIPF/Orig.)In recent years, ever more documents have been found which cast a shadow on the problematic position held by Peter Petersen and on his concept of Jenaplan pedagogy within the polycratic educational system of National Socialism. So far, the general assumption was that, despite this problematic position, Petersen had largely avoided racist or anti-Semitic conceptions in his pedagogical theory. On the basis of recently discovered sources, the author explains that this position is no longer tenable. As early as the summer of 1933, Petersen had already voiced strongly anti-Semitic opinions; and by the end of the 1930s, he had increasingly adopted the "eugenical" positions held by the management of the Jena University, which shows that he, at least, legitimized the National Socialist system of terror.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
