MPACT Family Trees: Quantifying Academic Genealogy in (LIS)

Academic Globalization of "Genealogy Method"   --   CURRENT  USE  DEFINITION of "genealogy method":
Method of investigative scholarship to establish valid generational relationships connecting any specialty,
as used within or between all fields of knowledge.    JUSTIFICATION:  Genealogy Method procedures that
discover and record connections of kinship, descent and marriage, can also be used to establish accurate
understanding, for related knowledge system properties, using diagrams, symbols and scholarly analysis.

An academic usage of "Genealogy Method" in real time, within fields of research, vindicates truthfulness of
conclusions, as shown by historical comparison.   The "genealogy method", or "genealogical perspective":
scientific method of looking to the past, by using a "reverse" process of economic projection methodology.

ACADEMIC GENEALOGY: Genealogy of academic principles or ideas in specialized bodies of teaching,
(within dissertation or other educational supervisory relationships), as presented in a formal pedagogy
from teacher to student; showing thereby human intellectual pedigrees of unbroken lineage succession.
Genealogy, categorized in the broader term of discipline, includes bailiwick, field, field of study, study,
subject, subject area and subject field.  Academic genealogy relationships in all education disciplines,
are adjunct to genealogy and worldwide family history; LC classification: auxiliary science of history.

        Comprehensive evidence based family studies,
        using academic "genealogy method" procedure,

        applied, formal, natural and social sciences; humanities,
        computer technology, religious studies, anthropology,
        languages, business and education practices, sociology,
        psychology, library and depository facilities, demography,
        Internet skills and databases, health sciences, geography,
        economics, cultural studies, law, history and social work.
           
        This "genealogical perspective" is a scientific
        method of looking to the past, by using a "reverse"
        process of economic projection methodology; i.e.,
        [an absent or imagined person (prior to genealogical
        confirmation from primary source documentation) is
        figured forth -- the "face created" as the Greek suggests
        -- in words, as if present (after the pedigree is established
        according to the current genealogical proof standard).]
        In other words, extrapolating trends into the past, as a
        function of conditions, characteristics and data records,
        endogenous to current variables in family performance.

        The theory of genealogy is based upon the assertion that
        all mankind has natural and legal rights, as well as the word
        of God, concerning the origin of Man and record keeping.
        The United States Declaration of Independence  states: "We
        hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
        equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
        unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty
        and the pursuit of Happiness, -- . . .".

        "Knowledge of and definite relationship to his
        genealogy is ... necessary for a child to build
        up his complete body image and world picture.
        It is an inalienable and entitled right of every
        person.  There is an urge, a call, in everybody
        to follow and fulfill the tradition of his family,
        race, nation, and the religious community into
        which he was born.  The loss of this tradition
        is a deprivation which may result in the stunting
        of emotional development . . . ".
    - Quantifying Academic Genealogy in Library and Information Science
      MPACT Family Trees.  The technique proposed in this research
      provides a firm foundation in identifying, quantifying,
      and contextualizing mentorship and academic genealogy
      within the academic community.
