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

Gostota tal in zaloge ogljika v gozdnih tleh na trdih karbonatnih podlagah v Sloveniji
No full textPridobivanje podatka o volumenski gostoti tal (?b) je izvedbeno zahteven in časovno potraten postopek. Z razvojem pedotransfernih funkcij (PTF) se lahko ta podatek oceni iz drugih parametrov tal, ki se že nahajajo v bazah podatkov,ali pa se jih veliko lažje in hitreje izmeri. Če se funkcija razvije za tla na določeni matični kamnini, je lahko ta ocena natančnejša. Iz podatkov 15ih vzorčnih ploskev 16 x 16 km bioindikacijske mreže Slovenije, ki so bili pridobljeni leta 2006 v okviru projekta BioSoil, je bila razvita PTF za ocenjevanje ?b mineralnega dela tal na trdih karbonatnih matičnih podlagah v Sloveniji. S podatkom o koncentraciji organskega ogljika je bilo pojasnjenih 89% variabilnosti ?b mineralnega dela tal. Če je bil v model vključen še podatek o kationski izmenjalni kapaciteti, je bilo pojasnjenih skoraj 94% variabilnosti ?b mineralnega dela tal. Volumensko gostoto organskega dela tal smo poizkušali oceniti na podlagi vrste podhorizonta. S tem podatkom je bilo pojasnjenih 42% variabilnosti volumenske gostote organskega dela tal. Preverjeno je bilo, če obstaja korelacija med količino lesne zaloge in zalogo ogljika v tleh. Korelacija na preučevanih ploskvah ni bila dokazana.Measuring soil bulk density (?b) is a complex and time consuming activity. With the development of pedotransfer functions (PTFs) this information can be assessed from other soil parameters which are much easier and faster to measure or are already present in databases. If the function is developed for the soil at a particular parent rock, the estimate may be more accurate. In the development of PTFs to estimate the ?b of the mineral part of the soil, specifically the hard carbonate parent rock material in Slovenia the data, which was obtained in 2006 in the framework of the BioSoil project was used. The data was collected from 15 sample plots which are part of the 16 x 16 km bio-indication network of Slovenia. The data on the concentration of organic carbon explained 89% of the variability of ?b in the mineral part of the soil. If the data on cation exchange capacity was included, the model explainedalmost 94% of the variability of ?b in the mineral part of the soil. A study of the types of sub-horizons was used to estimate the ?b of the organic part of the soil. The data explained 42% of the variability of ?b of the organic part of the soil. The correlation between the growing stock and soil carbon pool was examined. No proof of correlation for the studied plots existed
