No full textThis interview is included in the American Folklore Society Oral History Project held at the Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 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. It was originally recorded on November 2, 1973 at the American Folklore Society annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee by Richard Reuss on a Sony audiocassette. This is a first-generation copy
Food, Fun, and Fable From Meme's on Bon Secour River
No full textIncluding this spiral-bound recipe book in the collection is part whim and part protection against bidding on another copy of it on eBay. The recipes look like fun, and the book is well put together. The fable part is apparently all the stories behind local institutions and celebrations. Fable means many things to many people!Second printingCharley and Meme Wakeford, Assisted by Kate and Susie Tucke

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
Radiation in the workplace:an opportunity for substantial epidemiological evidence
No full textStudies of the long-term health experience of the Japanese survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are highly impressive investigations of the late effects of exposure to ionizing radiation, which continue today and still contribute significant evidence some seven decades after the bombings (Ozasa et al. 2019). It is upon the cancer risk estimates derived from the LifeSpan Study (LSS) of a large cohort of atomic bomb survivors that the present system of radiological protection recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection is primarily (but not solely) based (ICRP 2007). Nonetheless, no single epidemiological study, however impressive, will provide a sufficient basis for the framework of radiological protection because there will be aspects of protection that will not be covered. For example, the Japanese atomic bomb survivors provide no direct evidence on the effects of alpha radiation, and this must be gleaned from other sources, such as the studies of underground hard-rock miners exposed to radon and its decay products. A further source of uncertainty is that the atomic bomb survivors are a Japanese population briefly exposed at a high dose-rate in the mid-twentieth century, which raises questions about applicability of risk estimates derived from the survivors to those chronically exposed to low dose-rates and who experience different background health risks, such as a twenty-first century population in North America. These questions point to the evidential value of studies of those exposed to radiation in the course of their employment

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
