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
DISTURBI DEL COMPORTAMENTO ALIMENTARE E GRAVIDANZA: ANALISI QUALITATIVA DI VISSUTI
No full textEating disorders represent a heterogenous group of pathologies characterized by an altered relationship with food and the body.
The most typical pathologies are Nervous Anorexia, Nervous Bulimia and Disorders not differently Specified.
According to the WHO (World Health Organisation) they represent a problem of public welfare in constant increase.
The illness usually breaks out during adolescence, the age when important physical and psychological changes take place. Sometimes ,however, the illness not cleared up follows the young woman in all the most important phases of her life, one of them is pregnancy.
The aim of this research work is to investigate how a past experience of a woman affected by eating disorders can influence pregnancy and maternity. Therefore the particular moods and sensations felt during endo- and exogestation have been recorded, as it emerges from the experiences of the sampled women.
The research, carried out from April 2014 till July 2014 has involved 25 women. Five have been met, interviewed and recorded by the researcher herself; the remaining 21 have spoken about their experiences on specific web sites and blogs focused on the topic” Eating Disorders”.
The interviews have been analyzed through the creation of a Word chart which has enabled the researcher to identify 11 Categories and 4 Topics.
The 4 topics can be summarized as follows: “ The experiences of the women: not feeling aware of themselves “ Giving life”, “ The changing body” , “ Being a mother and being affected by eating disorders”.
It has been possible to state that in women with anamnesis for Eating Disorders a real and true” emotional struggle” is present during pregnancy, a struggle on one hand between the happiness of becoming mothers and on the other the fear of change, because they are still linked to their pathology.
Therefore it is important to provide those women with a global midwife care, constant and personalized, also thanks to the setting up of specific surgeries made up of different doctors, so that the course of pregnancy and eating disorders can be followed simultaneously
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
Una barca tardoantica rinvenuta nel Parco di Teodorico a Ravenna
No full textIl contributo presenta i risultati dello scavo del relitto del V secolo d.C. rinvenuto a Ravenna nei pressi del Mausoleo di Teodorico. Sono presentati anche il contesto ambientale di giacitura (zona di spiaggia e di foce di epoca tardo-antica), la struttura e la tecnica costruttiva dello scafo, che si pone in una fase di transizione tra il principio a fasciame portante e quello a scheletro portante.The paper presents the results of the excavation of the 5th century AD wreck found in Ravenna near the Mausoleum of Theodoric. The environmental context (the Late-Antiquity coastline), the structure and the construction technique of the hull are also presented, attesting the transition in shipbulding from the shell-first to the skeleton-first principle
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
