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
Lungomare di Fregene. Il Progetto vincitore
No full textIl contributo riguarda la presentazione/illustrazione del Progetto vincitore del Concorso Internazionale "Lungomare di Fregene", elaborato dallo Studio RDM Architetti Associati, composto da P.V.Dell'Aira e M.Paola. L’obiettivo principale contenuto nel Bando Concorsuale lanciato dal Comune di Fiumicino è quello della riorganizzazione del degradato Lungomare che costeggia l'ambita stazione balneare, situata presso di Roma, trasformandolo in luogo di qualità urbana e architettonica, stabilendo un nuovo rapporto con il "waterfront" e con l'entroterra consolidato, garantendo nel contempo una frequentazione non solo stagionale dei luoghi e delle funzioni da insediare.
Il Progetto vincitore propone un "progress" in cui la previsione e l’attuazione dell'opera di riqualificazione si distendono nel tempo con interventi in successione organizzati in 2 principali livelli: 1. un "Progetto di suolo" che ridefinisce l’intera sezione stradale. 2. una superiore "Piastra attrezzata" su cui si sviluppa la ricorrenza di piccoli servizi commerciali, infrastrutture di arredo, illuminazione pedonale e di un Parco Lineare.The contribution concerns the presentation / illustration of the Winning Project at the International Competition "Lungomare di Fregene". The main objective contained in the Call for Proposals launched by the Municipality of Fiumicino is to reorganize the degraded Lungomare, which runs along the seaside resort, located near Rome, transforming it into a place of urban and architectural quality, establishing a new relationship with the "waterfront " and with the consolidated hinterland, while ensuring a non-seasonal attendance of places and functions to be set up.
The Winner Project proposes a "progress" in which the prediction and implementation of the retraining work extend over time with successive interventions organized on two main levels: 1. a "Soil Project" redefining the entire road section . 2. A superior "Equipped Plate" on which the recurrence of small commercial services, furniture infrastructures, pedestrian lighting and a Linear Park is being developed
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
Halogen Bonding beyond Crystals in Materials Science
Full text linkHalogen bonding has recently gained well deserved attention in present-day research for its importance in many fields of supramolecular science and crystal engineering. Although generally overlooked in comprehensive studies in the past, halogen bonding has become an important tool also in the field of materials science. An increased number of scientific reports are published every year where halogen bonding is exploited in soft materials rather than in crystal engineering. Here, we focus on a description of the most exciting contemporary developments in the field of halogen-bonded functional soft materials, assembled using the guiding principles of crystal engineering. We give a particular emphasis to those published in the past few years
