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
Modularity in the insect world as a strategy for bio-inspired and sustainable design
No full textThe morphological and functional diversity of insects provides a valuable source of inspiration for the bio-inspired design of innovative and sustainable products and processes. This paper proposes to examine the principles and strategies that guide nature's evolutionary and adaptive activities, with a focus on the concept of a "module" as a measure and standard for achieving resilience and sustainability in natural ecosystems. The concept of a module, relevant in all living organisms, is particularly evident in insects: redundant and hierarchical geometries capable of generating high and unprecedented performances, such as, for example, the structural color observed in Chrysina Gloriosa, the superadhesion capacity observed in Hydaticus Pacificus, and the thermoregulation and structural strength of the Odonata dragonfly.
Modularity in insect structures manifests itself at different scales of observation, from nano to micro and macro scales, and at different levels, including morphology, structural organization, mechanisms of functioning, and behavioral processes. Emulating the principles and strategies of inherent modularity in insects in the design of processes and products can significantly contribute to increased sustainability, introducing new perspectives in the field of design for environmental sustainability in synergy with bio-inspired design.
Examples of insect morphological/functional diversity will be analyzed and related to case studies of bio-inspired designs and products, and the advantages gained in imitating some of their aspects and characteristics will be made explicit. In addition, it will be highlighted how computational design—that is, the application of algorithmic and systems thinking through the use of analysis tools, generative modeling, and 3D printing—enables the replication of complex forms by imitating the modularity present in insects, which, in different aggregations, generates resilient, sustainable, and well-performing structures
Seminario e mostra di manifesti "WE SAY STOP. LA GRAFICA PER CONTRASTARE LA VIOLENZA CONTRO LE DONNE", Scuola di Architettura e Design, Università di Camerino, Ascoli Piceno 24 novembre 2023
No full textIn occasione della Giornata Internazionale per l'eliminazione della violenza contro le donne, gli studenti e i dottorandi della Scuola di Architettura e Design dell'Università di Camerino hanno elaborato una serie di manifesti nell'ambito del progetto “WE SAY STOP. La grafica per contrastare la violenza contro le donne”: iniziativa del Politecnico di Milano, patrocinata dalla SID - Società Italiana di Design e promossa dal Centro Interuniversitario di Culture di Genere. L’iniziativa ha visto il coinvolgimento di diverse università di design italiane, tra cui l’Università di Bologna, Università degli studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, il Politecnico di Bari, il Politecnico di Milano e l’Università di Camerino. La mostra apre una riflessione, attraverso le differenti interpretazioni date dagli autori dei manifesti, sulle diverse declinazioni di una problematica sociale di grande rilievo e attualità. http://www.wesaystop.i

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
