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
Dall’Antico Testamento al Prompt: Il Tabernacolo di Mosè tra tradizione iconografica e AI
No full textIl Tabernacolo di Mosè, descritto nell’Esodo, è un
esempio di patrimonio immateriale trasmesso per via
testuale, dove la parola sostituisce l’immagine e la
costruzione. Questo studio esplora come l’intelligenza
artificiale, attraverso algoritmi text to image, possa
restituire l’immagine un’architettura mai esistita fisicamente
ma profondamente radicata nella memoria
spirituale e collettiva. Il confronto tra rappresentazioni
storiche e immagini generate da IA evidenzia come
la tecnologia possa offrire nuove modalità di accesso
all’immaginario simbolico, pur distaccandosi da una
lettura filologica. Le immagini prodotte non sono documentarie
né autentiche, ma rappresentano una forma
di interpretazione computazionale del sacro. In questo
contesto, la sperimentazione si interroga sulla possibilità
di generare immagini del patrimonio immateriale,
mettendo in luce il potenziale e i limiti delle tecnologie
emergenti nella trasmissione culturale
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
Sperimentazioni di Machine Learning per la mappatura della Cattedrale di Aachen
No full textIl contributo presenta i risultati preliminari della tematizzazione semi-automatica della nuvola di punti
fotogrammetrica della Cattedrale di Aachen tramite algoritmi di Machine Learning. La sperimentazione ha
identificato gli elementi costitutivi sull’ intera struttura, mentre il riconoscimento di materiali e tecniche costruttive si
è concentrato soltanto sulla zona del Westwerk. Le classi individuate sono state utilizzate per addestrare l’algoritmo e
successivamente estendere la segmentazione semantica da piccole porzioni a interi set di dati. In questo modo la nuvola
di punti registra lo stato di fatto del monumento offrendo un valido supporto alla documentazione e alla conservazione
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Unveiling Italian Architectural Heritage in Brazil through traditional and digital archives
No full textThe architectural heritage of a city reflects the
culture that shaped it. In Brazil, between 1870
and 1920, European migrants, including many
Italians, left a lasting mark on urban landscapes.
Italians contributed as builders, engineers, and
architects, introducing styles and techniques that
shaped emerging cities. This influence is evident
in Jaú and São Carlos (São Paulo), where Italian-
inspired eclectic architecture remains visible.
This research, part of “KNOW.it – Transition in
Digital Age: KNOWing our background to refine
our future” PRIN 2022 PNRR project, explores
and digitizes this heritage, focusing on formal
and technical aspects. It highlights the importance
of architectural drawings and aims to increase
recognition of these cultural landmarks,
emphasizing Italy’s deep impact on Brazil’s urban
fabric. Despite their history, Jaú and São Carlos’s
architectural heritage remains largely unknown.
Archives holding original designs help uncover works by lesser-known architects, shedding light
on their stylistic traits. The study examines graphic
documentation, project records, and supply
chains to trace architectural vocabulary and construction
methods. However, Brazil’s documentary
heritage is fragmented, with many records
scattered or incomplete.
KNOW.it project began by cataloging archival
documents. This paper focuses on these phases,
followed by graphical analysis to define architectural
language and styles linked to Italian workers.
Digital models compare original designs with
existing structures, deepening the study of Brazilian
eclecticism
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
