    Sebastian L. Vogel Reminiscence

    No full text
    Typed reminiscence (26 leaves) by Vogel detailing his involvement in World War II. Vogel served in the 427th Bomb Squadron of the 303rd Heavy Bombardment Group, where he was a radio operator, aerial machine gunner and radio mechanic. After training in the United States, he was sent to England in 1942 and involved in aerial raids over occupied France. This reminiscence details a raid on January 23, 1943 at Lorient, France in which the aircraft he was in was hit and some of the crew parachuted to near Brest, France. They were rescued by local French, then moved to different locations to avoid German soldiers. They made their way to Carntec where they were able to sail back to England. The Germans detected their departure and attempted to fire on them, but the rainy weather and darkness prevented them to pursue the airmen. They arrived safely in England. The reminiscence also includes a photocopy of a 1943 telegram to Rose Vogel that Sebastian is no longer missing and has returned to duty, and his citation on being awarded the Purple Heart and Air Medal

    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

    Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?

    In this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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
