    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    La prigionia di guerra nell’Europa delle Successioni tra diritto bellico e prassi militare

    The increased size of armies in 18th-century Europe induced a growth in the number of prisoners, subject to imprisonment often for several years. Their treatment followed shared legal norms, driven by utilitarian rather than humanitarian motives. We do not have general quantitative data; the analysis conducted here is aimed at delineating the different aspects of captive life, which was closely related to the lives of soldiers, as it is statistically estimated to involve about 1/3 of the effectives. As in peace, the rules of cetual preeminence applied. Great symbolic value was attached to the capture of enemy officers; for them, in addition to greater ease in captivity, there was the practice of parole, based on mutual recognition of the officer’s code of honor, which was one of the prerequisites for the regulated conduct of war. The increase in the number of common prisoners posed pressing issues of different kinds: frequent escapes, transportation and care of the wounded and sick, the presence of women, the costs. The increase in the number of common prisoners posed pressing issues of different kinds: frequent escapes, transportation and care of the wounded and sick, the presence of women, and the cost of maintaining them. An occasional practice still in use was that of enlisting captured enemy soldiers in one’s own army; by contrast, a practice that became increasingly common involved prisoner exchanges between states, which could take place while the war was still in progress. Many were the resulting logistical problems related to transportation, victualling, exchange routes and locations, redemption of supernumeraries. To this end, regulations began to be defined on the international level, in which references to humanitarian rules appear sporadically
