Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
The 2016–2018 Milan Metropolitan Strategic Plan: Features and Limits of an Innovative Tool Within the Local Government Framework
No full textThis chapter analyses whether the strategic planning instruments introduced in Italy in recent years are adequate and whether they can operate effectively in concert with urban and regional planning tools. We discuss the meaning of “strategic plan” in the Italian regulatory context (beginning with the law which introduced the tool in 2014) and critically analyse the structure and contents of the first and, in a sense, most significant strategic plan, the Milan Metropolitan Strategic Plan approved in 2016. We investigate the contradictions and critical aspects inherent in the framework which, we conclude, are likely to undermine much of the potential and results of such tools

What Metropolitan Issues Contribute to Global Urban Policy. Comparing Discourses on Governance, Scales, and Spaces
No full textThe metropolitan dimension has become a relevant scale for both global urban policies and multilevel governance strategies. The aim of this chapter is to investigate how the metropolitan issue, as a category of regionalism, is constructed discursively and if and how this issue leads the nexus between global urban policy and multilevel governance. The chapter explores metropolitan space as a non-neutral outcome of the political process, specifically in New Urban Agenda discourses, with the assumption that the object of the analysis is not a unitary phenomenon and it does not represent an ontologically defined category. The focus on and the investigation of the vocabulary of the metropolitan scale aim at challenging the academic debate and the public action by facing the complexity of regional and local socio-spatial dynamics. The chapter takes a constructivist approach to metropolitan space by focusing on discourses and representations rather than only on institutional variables
