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
"Son regina e son amante": la regalità al femminile nella "Didone abbandonata" di Pietro Metastasio
No full textIl saggio analizza il concetto di regalità al femminile attraverso la vicenda di Didone celebrata dal libretto metastasiano intonato da numerosissimi musicista in Europa nel corso del Settecento ed oltre. Nato per il soprano Marianna Benti Bulgarelli, il personaggio dell'eroina cartaginese costituisce infatti il cavallo di battaglia di molte dive del palcoscenico proprio in un momento in cui si afferma il professionismo della cantante sulla scena
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
L’eterno ritorno del disuguale. Una riconsiderazione del ‘gender gap’ in criminologia.
No full textUna delle sfide teoriche più stimolanti e complesse che la scienza criminologica ha cercato e cerca di affrontare può certamente considerarsi la spiegazione del c.d. gender gap, ossia del differenziale nei tassi di criminalità che si registra tra autori di genere maschile e femminile. Tale differenziale presenta una notevole persistenza sia trasversale sia longitudinale, mantenendo valori consistenti e variazioni complessivamente marginali nei diversi contesti socio-culturali e nelle diverse epoche storiche. Se l’interesse della questione risiede nella sua capacità di suscitare risposte coerenti con pressoché ognuna delle grandi prospettive teoriche espresse dalla criminologia, ci si può attendere che la crescente attenzione verso le varie forme di vittimizzazione della donna getti nuova luce sulle stesse dinamiche di criminalizzazione, offrendosi come banco di prova privilegiato della complessiva tenuta teorica di quelle prospettive. Scorci illuminanti per una comprensione del fenomeno possono venire anche dalla letteratura, il cui apporto di “attenzione” verso tratti essenziali dell’umano si presenta particolarmente necessario per gli studi giuridici e criminologici contemporanei.One of the most stimulating and complex theoretical challenges that criminology has been trying to face since long is the explanation of the “gender gap”, that is of the differential in the recorded crime rates between authors of male and female gender. Such differential reveals a remarkable persistence in cross-sectional and longitudinal researches, with only slight variations depending upon social and cultural contexts, as well as times. The relevance of such issue lies mainly in its ability to demand coherent answers from almost all the great theoretical perspectives in criminology. We can also expect that the increasing attention towards the several forms of female victimisation throws new light to the same dynamics of woman criminalisation, offering itself as a good vantage point to survey and test the theoretical basis of those perspectives. An enlightening contribution to a deeper understanding of the gender gap in female criminalisation and victimisation can come also from literature, whose “attention” towards essential features of the human being is playing an increasing role within legal (law and literature) as well as criminological studies.
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
