We basically agree that Stevan's proposed determinations are
a reasonable way to proceed with these investigations.
(This is not saying that we agree with some of the specific methods,
or will necessarily be likely to agree with the conclusions.)

As we ommitted this detail in our posting, we were
unable to measure the Sociology 2000 OAA because the
data files associated the number of citations with the
wrong articles; I have been told that the  source of error
is now understood andshould not recurr.  I am not
certain if it is practical to re-analyze that year,
but other years in sociology should be measued. At the time,
there were too few citations to the 2002 sociology articles
to make measuring OAA practical.
