No full textDesign of Tools in Fire Management
No full textThe contribution of the paper is twofold. We introduce the concept of fire as a chaotic and complex system through the Overworld FIRE project as a case study by demonstrating how a Decision Support System (DSS) could contribute in organising firefighting teams and operations. We reflect on the lack of data and information accessibility for the decision makers involved in the system and address this issue through an interdisciplinary design-oriented process. By discussing the results of the visualisation of the data and information flow during firefighting operations, DSS primary users and their data needs are identified and two user task-oriented interfaces have been designed and prototyped
The relational infrastructures of knowledge: inclusiveness and innovation for Made in Italy
No full textAbstract. Made in Italy, which includes sectors such as design, fashion, agri-food products and mechanical automation, represents the main production area of our nation and expresses the identity of Italy based on the differences, on the many natural and cultural specificities of our territory; a capital to be valorized through integrated logics, strategies, a strong connection between research, ter-ritories, companies, and human capital.
Design and creativity are the basis of Italy's ability to transfer intangible quali-ties (such as expressions of different cultures, local vocations) into artefacts and products. Design continuously provides new scenarios and directions of innova-tion, interpreting new needs and values, through its methodologies and collabo-rative attitude.
Faced with new challenges and geopolitical instability, new social, production and consumption models are necessary: European values represent an important opportunity, not only from an environmental and social point of view, but also toward the consolidation of a secure European market based on shared objec-tives.
Inclusivity, collaboration, and the opportunities of intelligent digital infrastruc-tures are the new horizon in which companies can put into practice new models not exclusively based on profit, but on cohesion and access to research and in-novation
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
