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
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
Dal MAB Unesco a Vivistolvizza. Strategie per la valorizzazione del territorio della Val Resia
No full textIl contributo propone un’indagine che, servendosi di strumenti come la lettura comparata di testi e l’analisi del territorio, intende definire ed identificare i patrimoni e le strategie all’interno della Val Resia, una valle chiusa collocata all’estremo nord-est della nostra penisola e appartenente ad una delle tre aree delineate dalla Strategia Nazionale Aree Interne (SNAI) nel territorio del Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Tale indagine si colloca all'interno di due azioni: una borsa di ricerca per un dottorato, promossa dall’Agenzia per la Coesione Territoriale per le Aree Interne (9/2021), in corso di svolgimento all’interno del corso di dottorato in Ingegneria civile-ambientale e Architettura del DIA dell’università di Trieste; e un processo partecipativo che, mediante l'uso di ICT, ha supportato l'amministrazione comunale nella definizione delle direttrici per orientare le progettazioni verso la nuova stagione di investimenti europei
STRATEGIE DI RILANCIO ECONOMICO E TURISTICO. IL CASO DELLA VAL RESIA
No full textIn Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in a closed valley near the Slovenian border, the very specific circumstances of an isolated community have produced a unique paleo Slovenian culture, not
only in language, music and traditions, but also in ways of living and organize the territory. The attachment to their own habits and traditions has led the Val Resia residents to elaborate
multiple strategies in order to attract tourists to their territory. This way, they guarantee the maintenance of small, local economies, thus ensuring basic social and economic safeguards
by promoting and enhancing their cultural heritage and local products. By illustrating some of the strategies adopted by local associations, this paper tries not only to enrich the debate
on territorial dynamics aimed at ensuring touristic and economic stability, but also to start reflecting on the index that is normally adopted by administrators to read the territorial usage
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
Processi di recupero e gestione del patrimonio pubblico attraverso lo studio dei bandi Urban Innovative Action. I casi di Bologna e Torino
No full textSempre più spesso le città si trovano ad affrontare il problema della mancanza di risorse per poter rigenerare patrimoni di
spazi ed edifici pubblici.
Frequente è la svendita di tali patrimoniainvestitori privati che, seguendo le logiche di mercato, promuovono interventi di
trasformazione che privano i quartieri ed i settori urbani degli spazi di socialità di cui avrebbero bisogno, generando un
impoverimento della città pubblica e dando vita a fenomeni di gentrificazione. Vi sono però strumenti e canali di
finanziamento europei, specificamente orientati alla costruzione di azioni virtuose, volte a fornire alle amministrazioni
l’opportunità di avviare forme di collaborazione con la cittadinanzae le imprese private, eainnescare processi di recupero e
gestione del proprio patrimonio tesi a costruire nuove e più equilibrate occasioni di sviluppo socio-economico.
Lo studio comparato dei progetti vincitori dei primi tre bandi UE Urban Innovative Action ha portato a riconoscere
strategie comuni che, oltre a garantire la riqualificazione di parti in abbandono della città, generano la creazione di nuovi
spazi per attività economiche e servizi, aperti alla fruizione delle fasce più disagiate della popolazione.
Questo contributo intende approfondire i casi di Bologna e Torino, con l’obiettivo di comprendere le strategie messe in
atto, le criticità affrontate e la replicabilità di tali iniziative
