Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
L’Italia e l’Europa danubiano-balcanica fra politica e cultura nel primo dopoguerra
Nell’ultima fase della prima guerra mondiale, l’Italia aveva sviluppato una propaganda che mirava a conferire un fondamento morale e ideale al proprio sforzo bellico, presentato come una lotta per la liberazione delle “nazionalità oppresse” dall’Impero asburgico. In questo contesto si svolse il congresso dei popoli oppressi, tenutosi a Roma nell’aprile del 1918, cui presero parte esponenti dei movimenti nazionali dell’Europa centrale e sud-orientale, e si concretizzò l’esperienza delle legioni romena e cecoslovacca, che combatterono a fianco dell’esercito italiano negli ultimi mesi del conflitto. Nei primi anni Venti, l’Italia fondò o rilanciò una serie di istituti culturali, attivi sia in patria che nell’Europa danubiano-balcanica, allo scopo di continuare idealmente il discorso della “cooperazione” antiasburgica e di fiancheggiare per mezzo di una “diplomazia culturale”, centrata sul mito della “latinità” e del primato della civiltà italiana, la penetrazione politica italiana in quei paesi. Tramite i suoi istituti culturali, l’Italia, prima liberale, poi fascista, dovette rivaleggiare nell’area danubiano-balcanica con la tradizionale presenza francese e successivamente, negli anni Trenta, con la ben più agguerrita propaganda tedesca, rispetto alla quale la “diplomazia culturale” italiana giocò nuovamente la carta della civiltà latina e cristiana, da contrapporre al paganesimo e al razzismo nazista
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
