Giornali di lettere e lettere per i giornali: la scrittura epistolare nelle pubblicazioni periodiche del Settecento e il caso delle «Memorie per servire all’istoria letteraria»
Full text linkPeriodicals, especially scholarly ones, are connected from their origin with the epistolary form. First because they replaced the correspondence that developed around some scholars, like Antonio Magliabechi, written to inform other scholars about the latest books or cultural events. Moreover, some scholarly newspapers were born from the letters that the editors received from their correspondents: adapted and modified, these texts could form the articles of the magazine; just think of the «Giornale de' letterati d'Italia», the «Novelle letterarie» by Giovanni Lami or the Venetians «Memorie per servire all'istoria letteraria», partly linked to Angelo Calogerà. This does not exclude the presence in the eighteenth century of newspapers in which the epistolary form was absent and others in which it was recovered only to create a fictional dialogue with readers. The contribution intends to present examples of the use of the letter form in the eighteenth-century newspapers, focusing on the case of the «Memorie per servire all’istoria letteraria»
Cronaca epistolare di una luogotenenza alla vigilia del sacco di Roma. Per un'edizione del copialettere di Guicciardini
No full textL'articolo si propone di illustrare un copialettere appartenuto a Francesco Guicciardini e rinvenuto da Roberto Ridolfi all'inizio del XX secolo. Il manoscritto si trova nell'Archivio Guicciardini e nelle carte Strozziane (ASF I 130) dell'Archivio di Stato di Firenze. Il codice, che è interamente apografo, ad eccezione di tre note autografe di Francesco Guicciardini, contiene le copie di 258 lettere - tra cui lettere inviate, riassunti di lettere ricevute e istruzioni - tutte datate tra l'8 giugno 1526 e il 18 febbraio 1527, quando Guicciardini era in servizio nelle vesti di luogotenente nell'esercito papale. Sulla base delle ricerche precedenti, si propone un primo studio di questo specialissimo corpus epistolare attraverso un esame quantitativo e qualitativo delle varianti tra le missive conservate nelle copialettere e il loro modello, le minute, e gli originali. I risultati di questa analisi infatti hanno mostrato una complessa riorganizzazione della struttura epistolare e una profonda rimodulazione formale del dettato a livello sintattico, morfologico e lessicale, attribuibile a Francesco Guicciardini e probabilmente legate alla redazione di alcuni passi del secondo libro dei Commentari della luogotenenza, poi incorporati nel XVII libro della Storia d'Italia
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
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
