    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    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

    Trending Near You: Athleisure

    Next weekend, when you are at the grocery store or out running errands, take a good look at the people around you—in particular, the ladies. Chances are that instead of seeing weekend jeans and tee shirts, you will see an increasing number of women wearing compressive yoga pants and capris with coordinating tunics or tops. Some of these people may be on their way to the gym. The higher likelihood is that they are simply out shopping while wearing clothes that one would have seen previously only in a yoga studio or gym. This new fashion trend toward wearing throughout the day the casual, comfortable, but fashionable attire designed for yoga practice is being referred to as “athleisure” in the apparel industry. Athleisure is a major phenomenon, fueling fiber innovations and a new category in fashion design
