The Quest for Citations: Drivers of Article Impact
Why do some articles become building blocks for future scholars, whereas others remain unnoticed? The authors aim to answer this question by contrasting, synthesizing, and simultaneously testing three scientometric perspectives-universalism, social constructivism, and presentation-on the influence of article and author characteristics on article citations. They study all articles published in a sample of five major journals in marketing from 1990 to 2002 that are central to the discipline. They count the number of citations each of these articles has received and regress this count on an extensive set of characteristics of the article (i.e., article quality, article domain, title length, the use of attention grabbers, and expositional clarity) and the author (i.e., author visibility and author personal promotion). They find that the number of citations an article in the marketing discipline receives depends more on \"what is said\" (quality and domain) and \"who says it\" (author visibility and personal promotion) than on \"how it is said\" (title length, the use of attention grabbers, and expositional clarity). The insights gleaned from this analysis contribute to the marketing literature and are relevant to scientific stakeholders, such as the management of scientific journals and individual academic scholars, as they strive to maximize citations. They are also relevant to marketing practitioners; they inform practitioners on characteristics of the academic journals in marketing and their relevance to decisions they face. Conversely, the insights also raise challenges regarding how to make journals accessible and relevant to marketing practitioners: (1) Authors visible to academics are not necessarily visible to practitioners; (2) the readability of an article may hurt academic credibility and impact, but it may be instrumental in influencing practitioners; and (3) it remains questionable whether articles that academics assess to be of high quality are also managerially relevant.

Descartes's Fictions : reading philosophy with poetics
Descartes’s Fictions traces common movements in early modern philosophy and literary method. This volume reassesses the significance of Descartes’s writing by bringing his philosophical output into contact with the literary treatises, exempla, and debates of his age. Arguing that humanist theorizing about the art of poetry represents a vital intellectual context for Descartes’s work, the volume offers readings of the controversies to which this poetic theory gives rise, with particular reference to the genre of tragicomedy, the question of verisimilitude, and the figures of Guez de Balzac and Pierre Corneille. Drawing on what Descartes says about, and to, his many contemporaries and correspondents embedded in the early modern republic of letters, this volume shows that poetics provides a repository of themes and images to which he returns repeatedly: fortune, method, error, providence, passion, and imagination, amongst others. Like the poets and theorists of the early modern period, Descartes is also drawn to the forms of attention that people may bring to his work. This interest finds expression in the mature Cartesian metaphysics of the Meditations, as well as, later, in the moral philosophy of his correspondence with Elisabeth of Bohemia or the Passions of the Soul. Some of the tropes of modern secondary criticism—a comparison of Descartes and Corneille, or the portrayal of Descartes as a ‘tragic’ figure—are also re-evaluated. This volume thus bridges the gap between Cartesian criticism and late-humanist literary culture in France.

The Scriptural Tale in the Fourth Gospel
In The Scriptural Tale in the Fourth Gospel, Ed Gerber argues that the story of Jesus has been told as a creative retelling of the story of Adam & Israel, first in the prologue, and then in the body of the Gospel as a whole.

Bibliometrische Verfahren zur Bewertung von Forschungsleistung
Das klassische Gutachterverfahren zur Bewertung von Forschungsleistung wird zunehmend durch Zitationsanalysen zur Messung der Wirkung von Publikationen ergänzt und unterstützt. Die quantitativen Verfahren der Wirkungsmessung sind jedoch nur dann aussagekräftig, wenn sie die jeweils geeigneten Indikatoren heranziehen. Der Trend hin zu einer Amateur-Bibliometrie stellt eine ernste Gefahr für die Forschungsevaluierung dar. Der Wunsch der Wissenschaftspolitik nach Rankings und Zahlen wird durch scheinbar einfach zu bedienende Werkzeuge erfüllt. Wir plädieren in diesem Artikel für den Einsatz einer professionellen Bibliometrie, die in den Kontext des Forschungsgebiets Bibliometrie eingebettet ist. Danach ist z.B. der Journal Impact Factor (JIF) zur Messung der Wirkung der Arbeiten eines Forschers ungeeignet, da er keinen Rückschluss auf die Wirkung einer bestimmten in einer Zeitschrift publizierten Arbeit erlaubt. Der h-Index misst Produktivität und Wirkung in Form von Zitierungen in einer einzigen Zahl und verknüpft beide Größen willkürlich. Perzentile (Prozentränge) sind dagegen für die Bewertung von Publikationen und Personen sehr gut geeignet. Die Arbeiten eines Forschers und deren Wirkung, gemessen anhand von Perzentilen, kann als sogenannter Beam-Plot übersichtlich dargestellt werden. Mit Beam-Plots kann man auf einen Blick feststellen, in welchen Jahren ein Forscher wie produktiv war und wie häufig seine Arbeiten im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Publikationen zitiert wurden.

The Words of Others
In this lively gambol through the history of quotations and quotation books, Gary Saul Morson traces our enduring fascination with the words of others. Ranging from the remote past to the present, he explores the formation, development, and significance of quotations, while exploring the \"verbal museums\" in which they have been collected and displayed--commonplace books, treasuries, and anthologies. In his trademark clear, witty, and provocative style, Morson invites readers to share his delight in the shortest literary genre.
The author defines what makes a quote quotable, as well as the (unexpected) differences between quotation and misquotation. He describes how quotations form, transform, and may eventually become idioms. How much of language itself is the residue of former quotations? Weaving in hundreds of intriguing quotations, common and unusual, Morson explores how the words of others constitute essential elements in the formation of a culture and of the self within that culture. In so doing, he provides a demonstration of that very process, captured in the pages of this extraordinary new book.

In Their Own Words
In Their Own Words examines early medieval history-writing through quotation practices in five works, each in some way the first of its kind. Nithard’s Historiae de dissensionibus filiorum Ludovici Pii is extraordinary for its quotation of vernacular oaths, the first recorded piece of French. The Gesta Francorum is the first eye-witness account of the First Crusade. Geoffrey of Villehardouin’s La Conquête de Constantinople , written by a leader and negotiator of the Fourth Crusade, and Robert de Clari’s La Conquête de Constantinople , written by a common soldier in the same crusade, are the first extant French prose histories. Li Fet des Romains , a translation and compilation of all the classical texts about Julius Caesar (including Caesar’s own Gallic Wars ) that were known in the thirteenth century, is the first work of ancient historiography and the first biography to appear in French.
Jeanette Beer’s work bridges the divide between the study of vernacular and Latin writing, providing new evidence that the linguistic cultures were not isolated from each other. Her examination of quotation practices in early medieval histories illuminates the relationship between classical and contemporary influences in the formative period of history-writing in the West.
