In this item, Richard M. Dorson is interviewed by Richard Reuss at the American Folklore Society annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee for the American Folklore Society Oral History Project. Biography/History note: Richard M. Dorson, folklorist, author, and educator, was born in New York City in 1916 and died in 1981. He earned his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard University and taught at Harvard and Michigan State University before becoming professor of history and folklore at Indiana University where he founded its Folklore Institute in 1963 and became the first director and first chair of the Folklore Department at Indiana University in 1978. This collection consists of 1 sound tape reel (40 min.) : analog, 7 1/2 ips, 2 track, mono. ; 7 in.

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
George Wainwright
No full textGeorge Wainwright was named the 2014 recipient of the Max L. Starkey Service Award, which recognizes outstanding service to the Illinois Wesleyan University community by a member of the University staff. President Richard F. Wilson made the announcement Aug. 22 at the annual Faculty-Staff Breakfast, a traditional beginning to the academic year. A 37-year employee of the University, Wainwright is manager of maintenance services at Illinois Wesleyan. In this position, Wainwright handles problems large and small concerning all of the physical structures across campus and other properties owned by the University. One nominator noted Wainwright’s “institutional knowledge of campus physical features is second to none, and this is well matched to his technical knowledge of how just about every single thing on campus functions.”
And now, this year’s clues…As one of the nominators said: Some say done is good; but for our recipient it’s never done until it’s done right.Our recipient’s first name, became a substitute for “God” when the church began levying fines for swearing and blasphemy in 16th Century England.His first name is also a familiar one shared by science fiction writers, rock guitarists and country singers, actors, presidents and even the Sultan of Swat.There’s a major leaguer (Cardinal’s Adam Wainwright) who shares our award winners last name, but he plays for the wrong team in the eyes of many of us.The last name of our recipient is also synonymous with that of one of our founders (Rev. Cartwright).A master trades person (wainwright) who often oversaw the work of wheelwrights, blacksmiths and painters, was known by the last name of our recipient and they also share a similar skill set.Our recipient is a father who shares the same initials as the father of our country.Returning from a trip a year ago, my wife, Pat, and I came home to find a pipe burst in our home and whom do you think we called to help bail us out? That’s right our recipient ….
I would now like to ask George Wainwright, Manager of Maintenance Services to come forward as our 2014 Max L. Starkey Award winner.https://digitalcommons.iwu.edu/staff_awards/1013/thumbnail.jp
