Revenge
No full text"The Killing of the Squaw, and the Revenge. Conversation with J. B. Scott, formerly of Logansport, now of Delphi." (title from verso)
AMs, 2 p. (handwritten on back of preprinted insurance forms)George Winter was told this story of tragedy in an Indian family by Jas. B. Scott, who was a youth in 1836, when it occurred. An Indian was returning from Logansport with his wife, his wife's sister, and his child when he demanded some money from his wife. When she refused, knowing he would spend it on whiskey, he stabbed her to death. He then fell asleep, and the dead woman's sister killed him with an axe taken from Joseph Barron's woodpile. She then rode off, possibly to Chicago. Scott and other curious residents of Logansport came out to view the gory scene. Although General Marshall, who was Indian agent at the time, attempted to trace the woman, she was never found. Such a revenge is considered proper by Indian custom
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

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
