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
Fungi of the Wolin National Park – new data on macromycetes
No full textThe paper contains results of mycological examinations conducted in the Wolin National Park from May to October 2017, and data previously unpublished. Exploration was carried out using the route method in the whole Park, with particular emphasis on its western part. The paper includes 205 taxa (25 from Ascomycota and 180 from Basidiomycota), including 32 new ones for the Wolin National Park. Among the identified taxa, 17 were threatened. The endangered species (Category E) were represented by Aleurodiscus disciformis, Calcipostia guttulata, and Geastrum triplex, the vulnerable species (V) included Inocybe grammata, Inocutis rheades, and Xylobolus frustulatus, and the rare species (R) consisted of 10 taxa, including Helvella lacunosa, Gloeoporus taxicola, Mycena crocata, Plicaturopsis crispa, and Pseudomerulius aureus. Some species are known only from a few sites in Poland, e.g., Hohenbuehelia auriscalpium and C. guttulata. Currently, the number of macromycetes species known from the Wolin National Park is 508
Late Medieval Sword from Wolin
No full textThe article presents an iron sword discovered in 2013 during archaeological excavations in Wolin (West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland). The find survived in a fragment which consists of a broken blade and a hilt with cross-guard and pommel. The blade is deformed by corrosion, with a narrow fuller. On the lower part of this fragment there are signs made by yellow metal (copper alloy ?). The cross-guard is strong and solidly rectangular, the arms are waisted and expand at the ends. The handle is topped with a disc-form of pommel.The typological analysis of the sword is quite simple. Based on general proportions and metrics, the sword blade can be classified as type XIIIa by E. Oakeshott, popular between the late 13th and early 15th century. The cross-guard belongs to the style 2 in his classification, which has a wide chronological framework, and the pommel corresponds to type J popular between the half of 13th and 1st quarter of 15th century. Based on all these data, the sword from Wolin can be dated probably to 2nd half of 13th and 14th century (1st half ?).Sword from Wolin is one of the 36 swords in type XIIIa in Poland, and one of the 11 on the territory of Western Pomerania.Artykuł prezentuje znalezisko żelaznego miecza dokonane w Wolinie (woj. zachodniopomorskie) podczas budowy basenu jachtowego w 2013 r. Zabytek zachował się fragmentarycznie w postaci rękojeści z ułamkiem głowni. Ogólny kształt i proporcje pozwalają umieścić go w typie XIIIa w klasyfikacji E. Oakeshotta, a jelec i głowicę odpowiednio w stylu 2 i typie J typologii tego badacza. Na dolnej partii zachowanego fragmentu głowni widoczne są bliżej niezidentyfikowane znaki wykonane żółtym metalem. Miecze typu XIIIa reprezentują jedną z najpowszechniejszych form oręża – w Polsce zarejestrowano dotychczas co najmniej 36 egzemplarzy, z czego 11 na terenie Pomorza Zachodniego. Biorąc pod uwagę wszystkie informacje, opisany miecz datować można na drugą połowę XIII i XIV w. (być może jego pierwszą połowę?)

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Walter Benjamin, an aesthetic of redemption
No full textFew twentieth-century thinkers have proven as influential as Walter Benjamin, the German-Jewish philosopher and cultural and literary critic. Richard Wolin's book remains among the clearest and most insightful introductions to Benjamin's writings, offering a philosophically rich exposition of his complex relationship to Adorno, Brecht, Jewish Messianism, and Western Marxism. Wolin provides nuanced interpretations of Benjamin's widely studied writings on Baudelaire, historiography, and art in the age of mechanical reproduction. In a new Introduction written especially for this edition, Wolin discusses the unfinished Arcades Project , as well as recent tendencies in the reception of Benjamin's work and the relevance of his ideas to contemporary debates about modernity and postmodernity
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
