    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We 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

    GO Barometer: meer wantrouwen en onvoldoende capaciteit binnen het vakgebied

    No full text
    De tweede editie van de GO Barometer is uit! De Stichting Kennis Gebiedsontwikkeling (SKG) brengt ook dit jaar de stand van zaken binnen het vakgebied van gebiedsontwikkeling in kaart. Gebiedsontwikkeling is een zaak van lange adem, dus er zijn veel overeenkomsten met 2022 – maar toch ook enkele opvallende verschillen. Vooral het stijgende onderlinge wantrouwen tussen partijen is opvallend. Daarnaast zet onvoldoende personele capaciteit de uitvoering van uitdagende ruimtelijke projecten verder onder druk.Urban Development ManagementPractice Chair Urban Area Developmen

    RPL properties of samarium-doped CaSO4

    No full text
    Radiophotoluminescence (RPL) properties of Sm-doped CaSO4 for radiation dosimetry applications are reported. The samples with varying Sm concentrations are prepared via the solid-state reaction process. The as-prepared samples show photoluminescence due to typical 4f-f transitions of Sm3+ whereas, after X-ray irradiation, additional emission features appear with a broad band peaking at 630 nm as well as a set of multiple sharp lines across 680-820 nm, which are attributed to the 5d-4f and 4f-4f transitions of Sm2+, respectively. Therefore, the RPL in the present material system relies on the generation of Sm2+ centers. The sensitivity is about 3 times lower than that of Ag-doped phosphate glass, but no fading and build-up of signal are evident even immediately after the irradiation. The signal is reversible by heat-treatment at 500 degrees C, and is reproducible even after the thermal erasure, especially when the differential signal between pre- and post-irradiation is taken into account

    Distributive concerns when replacing a pay-as-you-go system with a fully funded system

    No full text
    The author uses a simulation model to quantify the impact on income distribution of having a neutral social security program that is fully funded replace a progressive social security program that redistributes income toward the poor but is financed by a pay-as-you-go method. He finds that if the original pay-as-you-go system is large enough to yield an income replacement rate of at least 40 percent for the middle class and 200 percent for the poor, then the proposed change helps the poor in the long run, so long as public debt does not increase by more than 40 percent of GDP during the transition. Such a reform allows an increase in the capital stock per worker, so in the long run the poor benefit more through higher real wages than they lose because progressive redistribution has ended. In the short run, however, a compensatory program is needed because the poor lose their subsidy before receiving the long-term benefit. In most cases, the 40 percent of GDP available from the increase in public debt is enough to finance a transfer program that compensates the poor in the"short"run (the first 50 years). The author concludes that concern about the welfare of the poor is unwarranted, in both the short and long runs, if the compensatory program is implemented.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Safety Nets and Transfers,Services&Transfers to Poor,Rural Poverty Reduction

    The effect of semantic distance in yes/no and go/no-go semantic categorization tasks

    No full text
      The effect of semantic distance (Lund & Burgess, 1996) was examined in three semantic categorization experiments. Experiment 1, a yes/no task that required participants to make animal/nonanimal judgments by responding to both sets of stimuli (Forster & Shen, 1996), revealed no effect of semantic distance. Experiment 2, a go/no-go task that required participants to respond to only the experimental (i.e., nonanimal) items, revealed a large effect of semantic distance. In addition, response latencies were longer and error rates were lower to the experimental items in Experiment 2 than to those in Experiment 1. These findings were replicated in Experiment 3, in which semantic distance and task condition were manipulated within subjects. We conclude that these results are consistent with (1) the view that the go/no-go tasks elicited more extensive processing of the experimental items and (2) a connectionist account of semantic activation, whereby processing is facilitated by the presence of semantic neighbors.
