Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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

No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Learning and practicing in service design
Full text linkThe paper analyses the contributions to the “learning and practicing’ track of “ServDes.2018 Proof of Concept” and categorises them by identifying convergences and defining six emerging topics. As a result, new roles and responsibilities emerge. They can be summarised in a few directions: 1) beyond learning - where more and more, service designers are explicitly or implicitly requested to play the role of educators within organisations; 2) beyond human centred design – where the need to better understand the role of and the interaction with ‘non-human agents’ emerges; 3) beyond organisational change – where the transformational role of design seems to expand from within organisations to the relationships that organisations establish with external actors
Food as a form of care: designing social innovative processes and practices
No full textFood in Italian culture is traditionally considered a form of care for others and, by definition, conviviality, and these concepts extend beyond the stages of preparation and consumption. If we also include the stages of cultivation, production and processing, the concept of care potentially expands far beyond
caring for people. While the scientific and grey literature on food and social innovation is rich and extensive, there is still room to explore the relationship between food and care, especially regarding the contribution of design in making food a tool of care for people, the environment and cities. Building on these premises, the paper moves from the case of a social innovation policy in Milan to construct a preliminary conceptual interpretation of the relationship between food and the notion of care, exploring how design contributes to strengthening this relationship through shaping strategies and services and
of empowering people with entrepreneurial and creative skills, nurturing an innovation culture in society at large. The study builds on the analysis of 7 cases incubated within the program The School of Neighborhoods, promoted by the Municipality of Milan and designed by a consortium of partners including the Polimi Desis Lab of Politecnico di Milano. With the purpose of
laying the basis for a conceptual framework to be adopted in ONFoods (a project funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan in Italy with the aim of taking a substantial step toward the sustainability of food systems) the authors introduce an interpretation of the cases in which food is a way to:
i) care for diversity and inclusion; ii) care for the neighborhood; iii) care for the environment; iv) care for the quality of work. The discourse around the case studies benefits from having been developed in a vibrant urban context in terms of food policies that help shape and expand the city’s capacity for experimentation and innovation. The paper discusses the contribution of design in reshaping the notion of care through food, both in supporting the presented social innovation projects as well as in infrastructuring the scouting and incubation process that led to the generation of public value
