    Gergithoides undulatus Wang & Che 2003

    Gergithoides undulatus Wang & Che, 2003 Gergithoides undulatus Wang & Che, 2003 in Che et al. 2003: 103 [keyed, described (in Chinese)], figs 1–6 [frons, vertex, pro- and mesonotum, tegmen and male genitalia illustrated], 107 [diagnosis in English]. Gergithoides undulatus – Rahman et al. 2012: 295 [keyed]. — Chen et al. 2014: 37 [keyed (in Chinese)], 38 [distribution map], fig. 2-10 [habitus, details and male genitalia illustrated], 43 [described, recorded from Hainan (in Chinese)]; 188 [distribution, recorded from Hainan (in English)]. Remarks This species was described by Che et al. (2003) based on the male holotype from Guangxi and 10 female paratypes from Hainan. As no male from Hainan was examined to support the attribution of the series of female paratypes by the authors, the consistency of the type series of G. undulatus remains questionable. The specimen and male genitalia illustrated in Chen et al. (2014) are based on material from Hainan and do not match the illustrations provided in the original description. Particularly, and compared to the latter, the following differences can be observed in the specimen from Hainan: (1) vertex more elongate, (2) anal tube with posterior margin roundly emarginate, not bisinuate, and without ante-apical strong constriction, and (3) gonostyli more elongate. Hence, the presence of the species in Hainan still requires confirmation by the examination of male genitalia.Published as part of Jérôme Constant & Hong-Thai Pham, 2017, Gergithoides Schumacher, 1915 in Vietnam, with two new species, and taxonomic notes on the genus (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Issidae), pp. 1-20 in European Journal of Taxonomy 296 on pages 17-18, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2017.296, http://zenodo.org/record/89414

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
