The authors discuss what they think Merton really meant and link it to the use of concept symbols and defaults. The Matthew effect is linked to the notions of concept symbols and defaults. The diffusion of Merton’s ideas in science over time is discussed. Several h- and R-indices related to “Matthew” publications are derived. Related effects, namely the Podunk effect, the Knudop effect and the Wehttam effect are briefly discussed. Also the Matilda effect is given some attention as is the under representation of women in science and factors explaining this phenomenon. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 335-345 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/13482 Title: A study of citation accuracy in psychology theses submitted to the University of Mysore <br/> <br/>Authors: Harinarayana, N. S.; Chikkamanju; Vasantha, Raju N <br/> <br/>Abstract: This paper is an attempt to examine the accuracy of references in five psychology theses submitted to the University of Mysore. Nine hundred and twenty three references were verified for their accuracy. Seventy seven percent of the references had citation errors. The errors were classified as major and minor errors. The major errors included incorrect journal names, articles titles, author and citations such as wrong volumes, issues, years and page numbers. Minor errors included: punctuations, incomplete article titles, and incomplete author names. The study found that 39.54 percent of the references contained major errors. Misspelling author(s) name (21.77%), misspelling of titles (37.93%), mistakes in volume (5.76%) and issue numbers (1.15%), mistakes in year (37.66%) and page numbers (62.33%) were kinds of major errors found in the study. Lack of awareness about referencing techniques and lack of diligence in compilation of bibliography are the reasons for such errors. This study suggest for imparting training for young researcher to follow appropriate reference styles and maintain the accuracy of the references. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 326-334 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:58:59 GMT
