El anticuario y marchante Francesc Guiu i Gabalda (1843-ca. 1914) y el mercado americano
No full textLas andanzas y vivencias del anticuario Francesc Guiu i Gabalda han pasado prácticamente desapercibidas hasta nuestros días, a pesar de haber capitalizado una intensa labor como marchante de arte a finales del siglo XIX. En 1890, no solo llevó a cabo la más relevante subasta de arte antiguo y moderno español en Nueva York, sino que también mantuvo unas estrechas relaciones con personajes de la nobleza, como la baronesa de Rothschild, los duques de Santoña y, especialmente, el duque de Peñaranda y el duque de Medinaceli, con los que llevó a cabo un memorable viaje alrededor del mundo en 1907.Su actividad también iría acompañada de la polémica, especialmente por el comercio fraudulento de las obras llamadas pseudogóticas y renacentistas elaboradas por el hábil marfilista valenciano Francisco Pallás, que tendrían su máximo exponente en la denominada Arqueta de Cristóbal Colón. Este punto nos llevará a profundizar en el devenir de las colecciones españolas que se subastaron en Nueva York a finales del siglo XIX protagonizadas por Ignacio León y Escosura, José Bensusan, el duque de Dúrcal y del propio Francesc Guiu, lo que nos permitirá descubrir los entresijos y las fabulaciones que tuvieron lugar en el mercado de arte entre España y Estados Unidos, territorio propicio para toda clase de oportunistas, especuladores y advenedizos.Les aventures i vivències de l'antiquari Francesc Guiu i Gabalda han passat pràcticament desapercebudes fins als nostres dies, malgrat haver capitalitzat una intensa labor com a marxant d'art a finals del segle XIX.

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

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
