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

An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars
No full textThe guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes

Letter from Richard M. Neustadt, Regional Director, Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services, Federal Security Agency, to Lincoln Kanai, April 23, 1942
No full textLetter from Richard Neustadt to Lincoln Kanai, responding to Kanai's memorandum to Col. Karl R. Bendetsen on April 21, 1942 (chs_ms840_0037). Neustadt writes: "Respecting as I must this decision of the Western Command of the United States Army, I cannot recommend to them exemptions from the evacuation order that would permit certain citizens of Japanese ancestry to remain in the area, even though they are married to non-Japanese. On the other hand, I will very gladly recommend to the proper officials of the Wartime Civil Control Administration that special permits be issued to families of this type to go voluntarily out of the military area and resettle elsewhere in the country. This would preserve the unity of the family and the continuance of their normal life as loyal citizens and as constructive members of our American society."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide

Letter from Richard M. Neustadt, Regional Director, Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services, Federal Security Agency, to Lincoln Kanai, May 6, 1942
No full textLetter from Richard M. Neustadt to Lincoln Kanai: "Thank you for your letter of the second. It is helpful in making up at least a partial list of the worries that are bothering you and all who are attempting in a responsible way to meet the needs of the Japanese residents in the assembly centers and later in the relocation centers. AS you know, I am not in a position of direct responsibility, but I am working closely with both the WCCA and the WRA as consultant. This gives me an opportunity to know and appreciate how sincerely both of these agencies are striving to solve the problems and make these centers genuinely constructive to those who are to reside therein. That there are worries at this time goes without saying, but I am hopeful that through the sincerity of the responsible Federal officials, and even more, through the sincerity of the Japanese residents themselves, we will be able to create condition that may avoid many of them and mitigate the others."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
