From the glossary in Cohen (2003) p 678 "Semipartial correlation coefficients. Also called part correlations, the unique correlation of a variable with Y: the square root of its unique contribution to R**2." Cohen, Jacob, et al (2003) Applied multiple regression/correlation analysis for the behavioral sciences, third edition. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Mahwah, NJ. ISBN 0-8058-2223-2 LoC HA31.3 .A67.2003 Cohen, et al is an excellent reference on correlation and regression. Another way to express it is the square root of the change in R**2 on the last step of a hierarchical (i.e., stepped) set of regression equations.
