    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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

    Milema Zhao & Li, gen. nov. Type species. Milema nuichua Zhao & Li, sp. nov. Diagnosis. This genus can be distinguished from Telema by the following characters: the ratio of the length of embolus/carapace 0.25–0.30 (vs. 0.50–0.65), the presence of a prolateral cymbial apophysis (vs. absence), belt-shaped tibial glands (vs. plate-shaped), the ratio of the length of embolus/bulb 0.38–1.10 (vs. smaller than 0.32); spermatheca sac-like or globular (vs. cane shaped). Description. Total length 0.90–1.15 in male, 0.95–1.20 in female. Carapace 0.40–0.51 long, Carapace pear shaped, pale or dark brown. Six eyes encircled by black or absent. Tibia I 0.52–0.94. Leg formula 1243, leg glands belt shaped. Abdomen blue or for males, bulb small relative to carapace, the length ratio of bulb/carapace 0.25–0.30. Length of cymbium> femur> tibia> patella; cymbial apophysis present prolaterally. Distribution. Southern Vietnam and Southern Thailand. Etymology. The generic name is a combination of the first two letters of millet (referring to the small size) and the latter four letters of Telema (type genus of the family); feminine in gender. Species included. Milema lorkor Zhao & Li, sp. nov., Milema nuichua Zhao & Li, sp. nov. and Milema sai Zhao & Li, sp. nov. Biology. Habitats of this genus are diverse. The type species, M. nuichua Zhao & Li, sp. nov. inhabits leaf litter; M. sai Zhao & Li, sp. nov. is found at cave entrances; and M. lorkor Zhao & Li, sp. nov. is found deep in caves. These spiders have particular morphological characters adapting to their diverse habitats.Published as part of Lin, Yejie, Zhao, Huifeng, Koh, Joseph K H & Li, Shuqiang, 2022, Taxonomy notes on twenty-eight spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia, pp. 198-270 in Zoological Systematics 47 (3) on page 245, DOI: 10.11865/zs.2022303, http://zenodo.org/record/717585
