Urbanizzazione e industrializzazione a Bari tra Ottocento e Novecento
No full textIl saggio propone una lettura dei movimenti migratori nella città di Bari, dall'Ottocento preunitario sino allo scoppio della prima guerra mondiale, attraverso l'intreccio complesso con la congiuntura economica e le trasformazioni urbane. A fronte di una storiografia prevalentemente concentrata sulle migrazioni stagionali e definitive dalla campagna verso le città, emerge l'immagine di un Mezzogiorno dalla complessa circolarità migratoria tra i diversi centri urbani oltre che tra campagna e città. Lo studio delle migrazioni viene assunto come punto di vista, come cartina di tornasole, per capire le grandi trasformazioni demografiche ed economiche, per tenatre di cogliere i passaggi cruciali dell'evolvere di una società in uno spazio territoriale
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
L'Italie, de la surnatalité aux "berceaux vides" : réalité, représentatios et politiques démographiques (1945-2005)
No full text"Italians, produce more children" was one of the slogans of fascist system. If it disappeared with the latter and for decades, it is for a while now back in fashion. Anna Treves studies population dynamics, interpretations and images not only of demographic facts but also of political choices and works by demographers. Covering sixty years of Republican Italy history, the author analyzes effacing and subsequent re-emergence of the idea that the state should overcome the birth rate. Anna Treves underline particularly the gaps between discourses and demographic facts, and the weight of the memory of fascism. Without an overview of the long history, the today renewed interest on birth politics on both political left and right cannot be grasp. A demographic policy based on long-standing fears of decreasing birth rate must in addition be considered alongside the question of immigration
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
