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
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
Stratigraphic Relationships of the Brentwood and Woolsey Members, Bloyd Formation (Type Morrowan), Northwest Arkansas
No full textThe Brentwood Member of the Bloyd Formation conformably overlies the Prairie Grove Member, Hale Formation in the type Morrowan succession of northwestern Arkansas. At its type locality, the Brentwood is separated from the underlying Prairie Grove Member by nearly 6 m of dark shale. Away from this area, the shale thins rapidly and the Hale-Bloyd boundary may be placed with difficulty. At some localities east of type section, the boundary is thought to be erosional rather than the more typical gradational contact. The Brentwood consists of discrete carbonate bodies separated by dark shales. The carbonates consist principally of open shelf deposits, such as crinozoan biosparites and oolites. All carbonate lithologies contain varying amounts of fine to medium grained, rounded, quartz sand. Regionally, the Brentwood Member becomes more shaly to the west of its type locality and loses the quartz sand content in its carbonate lithologies. To the east, the Brentwood shales become less prominent and quartz sandstone intervals characterize the succession. The Woolsey Member overlies the Brentwood Member and consists of light to dark, argillaceous shales with occasional sandstones, carbonates, and a thin coal. The coal is confined essentially to Washington and northern Crawford counties and never exceeds 45.7 cm. The shales are thought to be of terrestrial origin, but marine fossils and thin limestones in the lower part of typical Woolsey strata indicate a transitional change within the member rather than at its base. In contrast, the detrital fraction of the upper Brentwood carbonates seem to decrease rather than increase towards the Woolsey contact. To the west of the type area, the Woolsey gives rise to marine shales and carbonates. To the east, the Woolsey is equivalent to a thick, quartz pebble-bearing sandstone of fluvial origin. The top of the Woolsey Member is a regional unconformity with the overlying Dye Shale Member, Bloyd Formation
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
