Wallenstein’s Power Problem and Its Consequences
No full textThis paper wants to be both: an introduction to game-theoretical thinking as well as a game-theoretical discussion of Schiller’s Wallenstein. Note that the intention of this article is to convince theatergoers and people who work in the theatrical arts that it is worthwhile to study some game theory. Others will hopefully profit from the unusual Wallenstein interpretation. It is not this article’s purpose to teach game theorists, but rather to inspire applications. The drama is depicted as a game and consequently submitted to a formal analysis that is based on the economic concept of rationality. Weber’s definition of power is operationalized and applied to Wallenstein’s decision situation.Power, bargaining, mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium, theater, Wallenstein

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
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

Der Dreißigjährige Krieg als transversales Thema. Schillers Wallenstein im Dialog mit der (Trivial-)Literatur des späten 18. Jahrhunderts
No full textIm letzten Drittel des 18. Jahrhunderts genießt der Dreißigjährige Krieg eine beträchtliche Popularität in der deutschsprachigen Geschichtsschreibung, Publizistik und Literatur. Schillers "Geschichte des Dreyßigjährigen Kriegs" und die Wallenstein-Trilogie stellen nur den heute bekanntesten Teil einer weit verbreiteten und differenzierten Verarbeitung des historischen Konflikts, die der Forschung meist entgangen ist. Nach einem Überblick über die Gründe dieser Popularität und die verschiedenen Modalitäten der literarischen Darstellung des Krieges am Beispiel ausgewählter Theaterstücke von 'auctores minores' wird im vorliegenden Aufsatz der Versuch unternommen, Schillers Wallenstein im Kontext der zeitgenössischen (Trivial-)Literatur zu lesen. Zum einen wird gezeigt, dass nicht alle Unterhaltungstexte als rein triviale Werke zu betrachten sind, weil sie von manchen Autoren als Vehikel zentraler politischer und philosophischer Ideen der Spätaufklärung konzipiert werden. Zum anderen wird der Fokus auf die strategische Art und Weise gerichtet, mit der Schiller triviale Elemente in seine Dichtung integriert und somit die Permeabilität von ‚Hohem‘ und ‚Niederem‘ (bzw. die Domestizierung des Trivialen zu höheren Zwecken) als einen wesentlichen Bestandteil seiner Dramenästhetik behauptet
