Hippeutister amabilis Wenzel 1938
No full textHippeutister amabilis (Wenzel, 1938) (Fig. 1 E) Solenopsister amabilis Wenzel, 1938: 318; Blackwelder, 1944: 186. Diagnosis: L: 1.5mm; W: 1.25mm (measurements from Wenzel, 1938). Wenzel initially described this species in its own monotypic genus, having been unaware of Reichensperger's then recent description of two species of Hippeutister. Thus he offered no putatively diagnostic species level characters. Based on his description and illustrations the species is clearly correctly placed in Hippeutister. Like only H. manicatus and H. plaumanni, it is evidently completely glabrous, and it seems very similar to the latter in general, showing a distinct sutural row of enlarged punctures. However, Wenzel's figures suggest this species is more densely punctate than H. plaumanni or any of the others of the genus. Distribution: This species has been reported only from the type locality, Cordoba, Veracruz, Mexico where it was collected with Solenopsis xyloni McCook (Wenzel, 1938). Remarks: Unfortunately the type of this species appears lost. Having initially been collected by Charles Seevers and then described by Rupert Wenzel, both Field Museum (Chicago, IL) associates, that seems the only likely repository, although Wenzel did not specify it in his description. However, it has not been found there.Published as part of Caterino, Michael S. & Tishechkin, Alexey K., 2008, A review of Hippeutister Reichensperger with new species from California and Costa Rica (Coleoptera: Histeridae: Hetaeriinae), pp. 39-52 in Zootaxa 1895 on pages 49-50, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18440

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

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
Expanding “Communities and Collections” in the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) to benefit the K-State Community and Beyond
No full textKansas State University has used its institutional repository, the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx), to store and share its first year experience program, K-State First, and notably its common reading program, K-State First Book. We have done so with the aim that the accessibility and preservation of these documents ensures program stability, promotes engagement with first year programming, and provides the ability to foster growth,educational opportunities, and community building outside of K-State. Moving away from research concentrated repositories and taking a more holistic approach to scholarship, especially when realizing the pedagogical significance of collaborative campus programming, institutions can showcase, discover, preserve, and grow programs that shape campus communities and engagement.
This session will provide an overview of K-REx and spotlight the digital archive of the university’s first year experience program and common reading program, K-State First Book. We will discuss the benefits and challenges to expanding the purview of your repositories. We talkthrough the types of materials we decide to host in our repository and why we share what we do. We will also provide recommendations on new ways to evaluate what belongs in institutional repositories and how this diversity can benefit your program, your institution, the community, and others
