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
Effects of COVID-19 confinement on the simulation of energy needs and uses of residential buildings in Milan
Full text linkThis paper examines the impact of COVID-19 confinement on the simulation of energy needs and uses of residential buildings in Milan. Data-driven schedules for electricity use before and during lockdown, derived from smart metering data, are applied to an urban building energy model to analyze their effects on energy needs for heating and cooling and the energy use for lighting and for other services. Electricity uses, heating and cooling needs, and total primary energy (TOE) are compared for pre-COVID and during-COVID cases. Electricity increases by 8%, while heating decreases by 10%, and cooling increases by 26%. The 5% decrease in TOE is mainly due to the decrease in heating. The study uses heat maps to display the coefficient of variation of root mean square error (CVRMSE) at different temporal and spatial aggregations, indicating significant differences between pre- and during-COVID cases. The CVRMSE for electricity consumption is highest at the hourly level for single buildings, reaching a maximum of 44, and decreases at higher levels of aggregation. The CVRMSE for TOE is highest at the hourly level for single buildings, reaching a maximum of 230. A scenario is created by combining during-COVID and pre-COVID schedules for a hybrid work model, called post-COVID. The post-COVID scenario results indicate a significant impact of remote work on energy consumption patterns
Il benessere del paziente psichiatrico: standard e meta? “Non c’è Salute senza Salute Mentale”
Full text linkNel corso del 19° Congresso SOPSI (Società Italiana di Psicopatologia), si è svolto il Simposio “Benessere in Psichiatria”, realizzato
con il supporto non condizionato di Takeda Italia, all’interno del quale autorevoli esperti hanno discusso dei nuovi standard di cura,
della relazione tra opzioni terapeutiche e benessere, e del concetto di benessere come meta terapeutica. Tema portante delle relazioni è stato
la qualità di vita del paziente psichiatrico e della sua famiglia. Ciò che è emerso dalle relazioni degli esperti è una crescente necessità di
affrontare i bisogni del paziente psichiatrico sia da un punto di vista clinico, con la messa a punto di nuovi farmaci che riducano gli effetti collaterali
e migliorino le performance cognitive dei soggetti affetti da patologie psichiatriche, sia sociale, attraverso l’educazione a stili di vita
più salutari, per la riduzione dello stigma e il reinserimento nella società.
Dal simposio ha preso vita il progetto “Benessere in Psichiatria”, sul sito www.benessereinpsichiatria.it, che si pone come obiettivo il superamento
del concetto di remissione sintomatologica e di recupero funzionale in favore di un approccio integrato alla salute globale della disabilità
in generale e allo stigma.. During the 19th SOPSI (Italian Society of Psychopathology) Congress, the Symposium “Wellbeing in Psychiatry” was held with
the unconditional support of Takeda Italy, in which leading experts discussed the new standard of care, the relationship between treatment options
and wellbeing, and the concept of wellbeing as a therapeutic goal. The prevailing topic of the presentations was the quality of life of psychiatric
patients and their families. What emerged from the expert presentations is a growing need to address the psychiatric patient’s needs
both from the clinical and social point of view: first, with the development of new drugs that reduce side effects and improve cognitive performance
in psychiatric patients; and second, by teaching healthier lifestyles, promoting the reduction of stigma and reintegration into society.
The symposium gave birth to the Italian project “Benessere in Psichiatria” (“Wellbeing in Psychiatry”), on the website www.benessereinpsichiatria.it,
which aims to move beyond the concept of symptomatic remission and functional recovery for an integrated approach to global
health, disability and stigma

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
