Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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

Steve Moore - Final
Hello, my name is Norman Olson. I’m a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employee and a volunteer at the Service’s National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Today is Friday the 16th of September 2005, it’s approximately 4:00 in the afternoon and this interview is being conducted in Sherwood, Oregon at the home of Steve Moore who I’m going to interview. Steve is a current Fish and Wildlife Service employee who works in the Portland, Oregon Regional Office. Steve would you please begin by giving us your full name and spelling it for us; telling us when and where you were born and raised; where you went to college and the degrees you received; and where and when you started with your career with the Fish and Wildlife Service.
SM Okay, my name is Stephen B. Moore, the last name is Moore - M O O R E . I was born in Portland, Oregon in 1949 … December 11th … and raised in the Portland area, went to high school at Beaverton, Oregon and then went on to pick up my undergraduate degree, which was in general biology, at Oregon State University in Corvallis. The degree was finished in 1971 and then I went on and was in the first class, if you will, the first year that Oregon State offered an interdisciplinary masters degree program. So it was a program that you could design your own program. I did so with a committee I put together from three different schools at the University … the School of Geography, the School of Outdoor Recreation Resources and the School of Cultural Anthropology … and I did that in a manner that I thought would best prepare me for future work in natural resource planning, primarily at a large-scale level … regional sorts of natural resource planning with an emphasis on backcountry, wild lands, pubic lands, that sort of thing. I actually got my first job with the Fish and Wildlife Service in … it would have been in 1972 and I worked part-time while I was in graduate school and I did … I got my masters of arts in general studies, which is what the interdisciplinary program degree was called in 1973. But I worked for the Fish and Wildlife Service as a biotech … a GS-5 … at the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge in the Willamette Valley just south of Corvallis, Oregon. I worked there part-time, I believe for about 6 months, and worked on a pretty broad array of programs at the Refuge. Everything from running a waterfowl hunt station during the winter, to repairing buildings, to clearing trails, to cutting wood, working on public use programs, a pretty broad array of things. And by the way, a kind of interesting historical note, we had our office at the time in what is an historic cottage on the refuge which has now been restored through an interesting volunteer cooperative effort and it’s the … I don’t remember the name of the family … shoot … anyway, beautiful little cottage (note: the John Fiechter House which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 2005), and I worked for then Refuge Manager Dick Rogers, who I ended up working with again in the Regional Office in Portland several years later. Fred Zeillemaker was the Refuge Biologist at the time … a very well known biologist in the western United States, I believe he also worked in Alaska for a while … a phenomenal biologist. And we worked in this little tiny cabin really this … this little old house as our office. It had no insulation in the walls, there were squirrels running through the walls, through the attic above us, through the floorboards below us and there were cobwebs all over everything and that was … Fred kept telling me that was his pesticide-free no-pest strip. (laughter) So anyway, so that was my introduction to the Fish and Wildlife Service … an organization that I grew quite fond of. I graduated from college as I said in 1973, starved for 3
about 6 months and then got a job with the US Army Corps of Engineers in their Portland District Office. I worked for the Corps for a handful of years … I believe it was about 3 ½ years … and I was fortunate enough to have applied for a job back at the Fish and Wildlife Service in the Regional Office in Portland … the same office I’m in now, but in a different building … and was interviewed by Larry Debates who was then the ARD for Refuges and Wildlife. Larry died actually quite recently this year … a huge loss … a wonderful man and it just … kind of an interesting, at least I think, kind of an interesting story in that regard. Larry advertised this job in the Fish and Wildlife Service and two of us, unbeknownst to each other, both working for the Corps of Engineers at the time, applied for the same job. We both interviewed with Larry. We both told Larry apparently the same thing, which is that it was impossible for one person to do this job, so he hired both of us. (laughter) That would never happen today in our budget climate, so that was … that was great and the other individual who was hired at the time was Harvey Lee … brilliant fellow … who had done graduate work at Columbia University and went on, my guess would be in the early 1980’s, to go to work for the State Department as a Foreign Service Officer and he has now worked all over the world in that capacity, so very interesting. So then I went to work in the Regional Office in Portland and that started really my full-time professional career with the Fish and Wildlife Service … in Refuges and Wildlife.
NO Okay, I wonder if we could perhaps focus specifically on a two-month detail to Alaska that you were involved with early in 1983. In fact I believe we first met in January of 1983 in DC when I was back there doing some briefings on a preliminary draft comprehensive conservation plan for Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, and the detail involved working on the … this draft Kenai Plan. Perhaps you could sort of give us your recollections about what was involved and how all that came about and what you did.
SM Okay, just a quick side note, I was in Washington, DC … I moved to Washington, DC in August of 1979. I had been selected to participate in the Departmental Manager Developmental Program, part of the Department of the Interior’s program. So it included representative students, trainees, whatever we were called then, from all the different bureaus in the Department. I think there were 30 or 35 of us and there were oh, 4 to 6 of us I think from the Fish and Wildlife Service. So I was the sole refuge representative and the sole one from our region. So I spent 10 months on that formal training program which includes rotational job assignments outside the Department of the Interior, also a fabulous program, so that’s what brought me to Washington, DC. After that program I went to work in what was then called the Program Development Office for Wildlife Resources and that was during … I don’t know how many organizational changes ago that was … but that was during the time when we had what was called Program Management. So there was a program, actually I think the largest program at the time called Refuges and Wildlife or the Wildlife Resources Program … it was called both of those things … and Refuges was the core of that program. But it also included Realty, it included Animal Damage Control, it included Law Enforcement, it included Aircraft Management, Migratory Bird Office, Wildlife Assistance and possibly some other things I can’t remember at this time. So it was a huge, huge “program” and so the office that I was in … that I was hired in following my graduation from the Departmental Manager Developmental Program was an office that provided support to all of those separate elements, sub programs if you will, in the Refuges and Wildlife Program. And the purpose of the office was to provide support in terms of budget, planning, policy and certain other thing that happened to come our way and I 4
worked … I did not work as much on the budget side … I worked primarily on planning and policy-related issues. And a good bit of my effort in fact, while I was in the Washington Office, which was from 1979 until 1985 … January or February of 1985 when I went to Sacramento … was involved with planning activities. I was a very active participant in the Fish and Wildlife Service’s national planning program, in fact I wrote the planning handbook on how to do regional resource planning and then was also involved in a small team that developed the service management plan and then I also wrote the program management plan for Refuges and Wildlife while I was back there. So planning was a very important part of my responsibilities and I also came from planning … came to planning I should say … from academic training and experience … a job … professional job experience. Part of my graduate degree, the geography part, if you will, and a little bit of the outdoor recreation resources portion was focused on land use planning, regional planning and then outdoor recreation planning. And so I had received some schooling in that regard and I also got some schooling at the time … early on in something called NEPA, which was the National Environmental Policy Act, which was brand new at that time. So they were teaching us about that and what the concepts were in graduate school and how to integrate that into ongoing operations and certainly into planning processes. I had an opportunity to … to what’s the word I want here … to not implement, but to exercise if you will, what I had learned in school initially with the Corps of Engineers and the Corps of Engineers has a very, very sophisticated, very, very complex planning process for their very large projects. So I was involved in several of their large projects in the Portland District and so I became very familiar with their planning process and in fact was hired into the Corps of Engineers because of NEPA being passed. The Corps of Engineers reluctantly admitted after losing several … several federal court cases that they actually had to hire people that knew something other than civil engineering. So they hired a bunch of us and I was one of that bunch that got hired although with … with only my master’s degree I was actually much lower educated part of that group … it was a very interesting, high-powered group of people and I learned a lot. But I did learn a lot about planning as part of that. I also worked earlier on, in fact when I was looking for a job did some pro-bono work for the Forest Service and some consulting firms reviewing and commenting on some of their plans and planning processes. So I had at least a moderately good background in that when I went to work for the Fish and Wildlife Service in our Regional Office in Portland in ’77. For the couple of years I was there, before I moved back to Washington, DC, I was working on compliance issues. So I worked on NEPA compliance, I worked a little bit on cultural resources … although we did have an archeologist … I worked on Section 404 and Section 10 Clean Water Act, and the Clean Rivers and Harbors Act. I worked on Section 7 compliance when you are the action agency and so for refuges that was very important for consultation with our endangered species projects, et cetera, and I did that for some operational projects and some planning projects. For example, we were doing a master plan … which was honestly primarily a grazing management plan, but anyway … at Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge because that was shortly after the Game Range Act had been passed, so we received sole jurisdiction for this … this huge, half-million acre … and it’s a wildlife refuge which by lower 48 standards is fairly sizeable … and I was involved with the team that was developing the master plan and associated EIS for that … for that refuge. So I had a good bit of experience. I also had the opportunity … I mentioned Dick Rogers was my supervisor as Refuge Manager at Finley Refuge when I was going to graduate school and working part-time at the refuge … Dick Rogers in the late ‘70s was the regional representative on a national team … I think they were revising, I don’t think they were developing from scratch … I think they were revising guidance 5
for master planning on national wildlife refuges. And the Service in general, and refuges in particular, did not have a strong history in planning. The whole concept of land use planning I think was quite foreign to them. What they did have is these things on the shelf that you occasionally could find in refuges, they were often yellowed and quite dusty because they were seldom used, that they called master plans. And I think the general sense for most refuge employees … and this was from the field to the Regional Office to the Washington Office … was it was something we had to do, it proved to be of no value, and we shouldn’t really spend a lot of time or money doing these things, and I think that that was a fairly commonly held perspective on it. Because of my training and experience I had quite a different view of it. I thought there was real value in planning. And so when Dick Rogers was the representative … the regional representative on this national team revising the master planning guidance in the late ‘70s … when I moved to the Regional Office in Portland I actually sat either in an adjacent cubical or certainly near Dick and so on a chance I actually could chat with him extensively about this … this whole issue of refuge master planning and provided quite a bit of input to … to the process with an emphasis on the actual planning process itself, not just the product, because the focus of that group seemed to me anyway, to be how do we develop an outline for the plan. They really didn’t have any concept that there was a process that should go along with this and if you actually had the right process you would develop the proper product. That the product was a … was a consequence of properly … properly implemented process … planning process if you will, and that required data, it required analysis, it required public input, it required NEPA compliance, all these other sorts of things. So I focused a lot on the process end and tried to convince Dick, and I think I was at least partly successful, although probably not completely, that we ought to have this link between process steps and outputs or products coming through and I think with the … the master planning guidance that came out reflected that at least in part, although I have to admit I don’t remember the specifics on that. So that … it’s just by way of introduction … that was my, I guess my training experience and perspective when arriving in the Washington Office, and then ANILCA of course, had been passed in 1980 … I don’t remember the month.
NO December 2nd.
SM December, okay. So that would have been shortly after I finished the management training program in DC and I worked on Capital Hill for a while. I was I think, fairly cognizant of what was going on politically at the time and I remember early on reading the planning portion of ANILCA and the planning requirements and thinking oh, my gosh, this is … this is a pretty high set of standards. I don’t think the Fish and Wildlife Service … certainly not the Refuge System … had ever even attempted to reach standards of this nature and then I thought it would be quite a challenge for us. And so, I guess initially my reaction was that I was at least concerned, let me just put it that way, and then … Norm, we have chatted about this briefly … somewhere along the way between when ANILCA was passed and when you came in in January of 1983 I’m fairly confident I wrote a memo or two, probably to my immediate supervisor and I believe to the Associate Manager. My immediate supervisor was Dave Olsen, who had also spent a number of years in Alaska, and was also my tennis partner on the Department of the Interior tennis team for a number of years. We were entirely different individuals, had very different playing styles, so I’m sure we were … we were a very interesting team … doubles team to watch on the court. But Dave was a great guy and gave me a lot of leeway and flexibility on 6
my job and I think I wrote to … and my guess is maybe it was Bob Gilmore and Bob Putz at the time in the two positions as Deputy and Associate Manger for Refuges and Wildlife … a memo or two between 1980 and 1983 regarding my concerns. And I’m confident that those concerns were stimulated in part by either oral or written briefings we had received from the Alaska Regional Office regarding either their intentions on how they were going to implement the planning provisions of ANILCA … the first comprehensive conservation planning provisions of ANILCA … or maybe we even saw some draft products. And I’m not honestly … I don’t recollect exactly what it was and some day maybe I’ll find those memos and I’ll share those with you Norm, but I haven’t been able to find those recently so I’m working off a dusty memory at this point. But I do remember the reaction I received to my memos and this is probably partly just a reflection of my own character, but they said, “Oh Steve, this is”… and obviously I’m paraphrasing here but … “this is all very interesting, now go back to your cubical. Everything will be just fine.” (laughter) So that was the situation, I’ve never been one to … to be … what’s the word I want … hesitant about voicing my opinion about things and I’m confident that I did that repeatedly and then I think Norm, what did happen is … is you and maybe Art (Wemerus) came in 1983 … January 1983.
NO No, actually Art … Art didn’t come along. I think I was the only one that came in with that preliminary draft of the Kenai Plan, primarily to sit down with Stephanie Caswell who was in refuges at that time … was acting chief I think, of the Planning Branch.
SM The Planning Branch, okay.
NO And we also did briefings for Bill Horn in Interior and … and … oh, the name escapes me … also in Interior and that would have been …
SM Ray Arnett?
NO Ray Arnett … Ray Arnett (Note: G. Ray Arnett, Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks during part of the Reagan Administration and the former Director of the California Department of Fish and Game).
SM Ah gee, we could have a lot of stories about Ray, Norm, but we may not have time to do that today.
NO And what we should … and basically it was, you know, what should we do with this draft?
SM Right.
NO We need to beef it up, we need to do some more on it, what is it we should be doing?
SM Right, and I’m confident I attended at least one of those briefings, maybe more.
NO Oh, I’m sure you did … I’m sure you did.
7
SM And I think what it did is it verified, validated, whatever the proper word is here, some of my concerns regarding what … what I though might not be happening and that I think I felt strongly that … and once again this gets back to process and product … from the briefings I remember earlier on that I did not believe that the process that was proposed and it might have also … it might have included everything from the dollars allocated, to the schedule being proposed, to the … to the number and types of disciplinary professionals who were being assigned to the task, et cetera, but I didn’t feel that folks had an honest grasp of the challenge involved in doing this well and doing it properly. And I think that in part was because we didn’t have a good history, because except when we started hiring people to do the CCP
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
