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
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
Il cantiere delle terrecotte nel Museo d'Arte Antica del Castello Sforzesco: attività di ricerca e primi risultati
No full textLa campagna di studio e catalogazione del materiale fittile di produzione seriale conservato nel deposito del Museo d’Arte Antica del Castello Sforzesco di Milano ha consentito di indagare alcuni aspetti rilevanti della tradizione decorativa in terracotta del primo Rinascimento in Lombardia, con particolare riferimento a Milano e Cremona. Elementi decorativi in cotto provenienti da complessi architettonici condannati alla distruzione dalle riorganizzazioni urbanistiche della seconda metà del XIX secolo sono stati salvati dall’illuminata opera dei primi curatori delle Raccolte, già allora consapevoli della necessità di conservare quanto più possibile di questi edifici, così da garantirne una parziale sopravvivenza attraverso il loro ricovero in Museo. Per Milano si prenderanno in esame le vicende del Banco Mediceo in via dei Bossi e di casa Marliani in contrada di Porta Nuova. Per alcuni contesti i materiali conservati al Castello Sforzesco sono tutto ciò che resta di interi isolati, come casa Missaglia o le abitazioni di via dei Ratti e via degli Orefici. Altre volte è invece possibile un confronto con il materiale ancora presente in situ come nel caso del chiostro di Sant’Antonio abate. Nel deposito del Museo sono conservate anche alcune terrecotte provenienti dall’area cremonese. Fra queste sono state identificate, grazie alla documentazione conservata presso l’Archivio delle Civiche Raccolte d’Arte e con l’ausilio di fotografie d’epoca, quelle appartenute alla demolita chiesa di San Domenico; sono state poi individuate altre terrecotte spettanti probabilmente alla decorazione del chiostro di San Sigismondo, sempre a Cremona. Per concludere si è affrontato brevemente l’interessante tema della ritraduzione in pittura di schemi e modelli della produzione fittile attraverso alcuni confronti con noti esempi figurativi.The activity of analysis and classification of serially-produced fictile materials from the deposit of Museo d’Arte Antica at Castello Sforzesco in Milan has revealed several important pieces of early-Renaissance terracotta decoration in Lombardy, and particularly in Milan and Cremona. Decorative cotto pieces from buildings dismantled in the city’s reorganization of the latter half of the 19th Century were saved thanks to the farsighted activity of the early curators of the collection, already aware of the importance of preserving as much as possible of those buildings, in order to allow them to survive, at least partially, in the Museum. As for Milan, the authors take into account the facts about Banco Mediceo in Via dei Bossi and the Marliani residence in Contrada di Porta Nuova. In some cases, the materials at Castello Sforzesco are the lone remaining testimony of entire neighborhoods, as in the Missaglia residence or the houses in Via dei Ratti and Via degli Orefici. Elsewhere, it is possible to compare the findings with the on-site decorations, as in cloister of Sant’Antonio Abate. Terracotta pieces from the Cremona area are also in the deposit: among these, documents found in the archive of Civiche Raccolte d’Arte, including photographs taken at the time, allowed the authors to identify the decorations from the demolished church of San Domenico, as well as those originally located in the cloister of San Sigismondo, both in Cremona. Finally, the authors introduce - through several comparisons with well-known figurative examples - the fascinating subject of the translation of fictile models into painting

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
