Rice University baseball coach Wayne Graham
No full textBlack and white photograph of Rice Owls baseball player Wayne Graham, accompanied by text headlining his achievement and entry into the Rice Athletic Hall of Fame.Caption reads: Wayne Graham is synonymous with outstanding baseball. Whether it is turning players into Al--America honorees and pro draft picks, or coaching teams to conference titles and national championships, the Owls' head coach always delivered. In his first 14 seasons at the helm for Rice, and 25 overall as a collegiate head coach, Graham produced highly-skilled players that worked together to form winning (and usually dominating) baseball teams. AT the time of his induction (2005), he coached 19 different Rice players to a total of 32 all-America awards. No fewer than 30 former Owls were playing professional baseball in 2004, including four in the majors. Under Graham, Rice won 10 conference championships in a row, including every WAC title since joining the league in 1997. The 2005 season was Rice's 11th trip to the NCAA regionals. Rice has five super regionals and four trips to the College World Series. In 2003, Graham led Rice to the school's first team national championship in any sport. In 2003, Graham's mind and energy were focused squarely on the goal of Rice's first national championship. The team combined the best pitching staff in the nation with the best defense to win 58 or its 70 games. The Owls spent more than two months ranked as the top team in the nation, and the team ran off an eye-opening 30-game winning streak. Graham was named the national and WAC coach of the year. Prior to coming to Rice, he also guided San Jacinto to five national titles in 11 years. Graham was Collegiate Baseball's coach of the decade for all levels in the 1980s and the newspaper's JC coach of the century. His uniform number (37) was retired by San Jacinto and he was inducted into the junior college hall of fame in May, 1995. All of Graham's coaching accomplishments naturally led to his induction into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 as well as the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 2005. A native Houstonian, he played high school baseball at Reagan High in the Heights and matriculated to Texas. After his playing days as a Longhorn ended, Graham embarked on an 11-year pro career as a third baseman and outfielder in the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets organizations. Following his playing days, Graham returned to UT to receive his B.S. in physical education in 1970, and he added a master's of education from the University of Houston in 1973.Rice University Athletic Hall of Fam
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
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
