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

Variations 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
Polis crisis, ecosystemic resilience, and schools. What strategies to support Italian teachers?
No full textThe contribution intends to propose a pedagogical and ecosystemic reading of the crises affecting the polis today. In particular, the repercussions they have on the epistemologies, i.e. the way of understanding reality, of high school teachers will be problematised. Pedagogical supervision is identified as a possible coping strategy for the difficulties experienced in school contexts. Such difficulties, which are eminently relational, call teachers to adopt genuinely transformative epistemological postures that return them to the role of resilient mentors in their students’ lives
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
Effetti della Didattica a Distanza nella Scuola Primaria: Uno Studio di Caso sul tema delle relazioni fra insegnanti, studenti e genitori durante il lockdown per Covid19
Full text linkL’adozione della didattica a distanza a causa della pandemia ha
costretto ad una improvvisa rimodulazione della didattica e
inevitabilmente ha anche influito sulla percezione del proprio
ruolo di insegnanti e di genitori che sono stati coinvolti in que-
sta esperienza. Un contesto scolastico particolarmente delicato
è stato senza dubbio quello della scuola primaria che, conside-
rata la fascia di età degli studenti, ha rilevato elementi di criti-
cità notevoli nello svolgimento delle attività didattiche. Le di-
mensioni coinvolte sono soprattutto tre: quella tecnologica,
metodologica e quella relazionale. Questo articolo presenta
uno studio di caso che ha permesso di analizzare nel dettaglio
la situazione di una scuola primaria dal punto di vista dei ge-
nitori e degli insegnanti: in particolare, vengono qui affrontati
i temi della riconfigurazione delle relazioni e delle interazioni
fra genitori, studenti e docenti assieme a quello della mediazio-
ne tecnologica.
The adoption of distance learning due to the pandemic forced
a sudden reshaping of teaching and inevitably also affected the perception of one's role as teachers and parents who were in-
volved in this experience. A particularly delicate school con-
text was undoubtedly that of primary school which, consider-
ing the age range of the students, found significant critical el-
ements in the performance of teaching activities. The dimen-
sions involved are above all three: the technological, the
methodological and the relational one. This article presents a
case study that made it possible to analyze in detail the situa-
tion of a primary school from the point of view of parents and
teachers: in particular, the themes of the reconfiguration of re-
lationships and interactions between parents, students and
teachers are addressed together with that of technological me-
