No full textBaburia chettalliensis Shashank and Santhosh, n. sp. (Figs. 3, 6, 8, 10, 14–17) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 6C705E2F-0949-4CB6-B618-E720CF724EBE Diagnosis. This new species is similar to B. trachymelas in male genitalia. In B. chettalliensis the uncus long, broad abruptly bent medially, valva relatively smaller and more convex medially than later species, socii not prominent, tegumen subtriangular broader at base and apex narrower, juxta large. In contrast, in B. trachymelas uncus is small, bent basally, valva broader and weakly convex medially, socii is prominent with bristles, tegumen is broad, subrecatnagular, juxta is relatively smaller. B. chettalliensis also close resemblance of B. tinsukiaensis but uncus is short, obliqually bent and broad medially in later species whereas uncus is long, uniform width thought the length in B. chettalliensis. Juxta larger, anellus narrow cup-shaped in B. chettalliensis whereas juxta relatively smaller, anellus wide and cup-shaped in B. tinsukiaensis. Gnathos membranous in B. tinsukiaensis whereas moderately sclerotized in B. chettalliensis. Description. Head: Ocellus well developed. Vertex clothed with anterior and forward projected grey scales. Frons with small appressed upwardly projected light grey scales. Labial palpi three segmented, first segment short and broad, grey, tinged with brown, second segment long and curved, cream, interspersed with light grey along dorsal margin from base to near apex, small third segment grey. Antenna filiform, covered with grey scales with intersegmental short cilia. Chaetosema present. Thorax: Pronotal collar, tegulae, mesonotum, and posterior crest creamy, mixed with dark greyish brown scales; mid- legs with a pair of tibial spurs; hindtibia covered with dense, pearl white scales interspersed with light grey scales, inner margin with tuft of long snow-white scales in male hair pencil, originating from base of hindtibia (Fig. 10). Wings: Forewing subrectangular, broad, wing span 18 mm in male. Male forewing weakly sinuate and slightly convex in outer half, with cream-orange scales as background interspersed with dark grey; costal margin with 7–8 dark grey, narrow, striae alternating with patches of mustard-yellow, with median inverted subtriangular grey spot, suffused with pale cream. Hindwing subtriangular, dark brown, anal margin in male with a modified, long, sclerotized, elongated lobe without scales (Fig. 8). Abdomen: Covered with brownish grey scales dorsally, mustard yellow ventrally and abdominal tuft in male also mustard yellow. Male genitalia (Fig. 14–17): Tegumen subtriangular, dorsolaterally with rounded shoulders, inner margin strongly sclerotized; uncus moderately long, sclerotized, abruptly bent and broad medially and narrow towards apex; socius atrophied; gnathos moderately sclerotized, medially concave and connected to membranous anellus, gnathal hooks absent; vinculum moderately sclerotized; valva symmetrical, long and slender, membranous, costa medially bulged out and covered with cluster of bristles and a prominent strongly sclerotized spine; juxta large, subtriangular, with broader apex; anellus cup-shaped and narrow; transtilla sclerotized, transtilla process well developed; caulis moderately large; sacculus basally and medially broad, with moderately dense sockets basally, continued as row of short setae reaching base of cucullus, medially with patch of dense setae from margin of basal opening to base of cucullus, dorsal margin with large hump bearing a conspicuous tuft of long bristles; cucullus long, dorsal margin slightly curved, apical margin sinuate, narrow at apex, with rounded elbow at base, covered with mixture of dense, short setae and long spiniform setae except for dorsal and dorsoapical margins, with a large, strong spine at ventroapical margin. Aedeagus short and broad, without any cornuti. Female unknown. Material studied. Holotype. ♂, India: Chettalli, Kodagu, Karnataka, 12° 37’ 13’’ N, 75° 83’ 01’’ E, 1002 m, 19 Nov 2014, Shashank, P.

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
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

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

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
