    In 1789 Vincenzo Malacarne was appointed to the chair of Surgery and Obstetrics at the University of Pavia, reformed in those years thanks to the Habsburg monarchy. Malacarne's recruitment had been favored thanks to Giovanni Alessandro Brambilla, the powerful imperial proto-surgeon and founder of the military medical-surgical academy in Vienna who was born near Pavia. Malacarne’s teaching period in Pavia opened under the best wishes, but his relations with the colleagues at the Medical Faculty soon deteriorated. Malacarne, flanked by Brambilla, clashed with the German clinician and professor at the Pavia University, Johann Peter Frank, well-known author of the « Medical Police » treatise. A severe dispute broke out, ended with Malacarne’s removal from the Pavia chai

    : By the 1860s, Paolo Mantegazza was a professor of general pathology at the University of Pavia, where he had graduated in medicine in 1854. There, he founded Italy's first laboratory of experimental pathology and did his first research on pain, the subject of various communications presented to the Istituto Lombardo in Milan. In 1880, Mantegazza published Physiology of Pain, one of the several "physiologies" (of pleasure, of love, of hatred, of woman) that he wrote during his career. In this book, a testament to his scientific versatility, experimental observations supplemented his insights into hygienism and anthropology. This research on pain also led to a dispute between Mantegazza and Cesare Lombroso, which was the start of the two scientists' estrangement

    The Golgi Museum of the University of Pavia was established in 2012 in Palazzo Botta, the historic headquarter of the Institute of General Pathology led by Camillo Golgi. The Nobel Prize Laureate in 1906 was able to create there a prestigious laboratory attended by brilliant students and young researchers who contributed to important medical and biological achievements. Between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the Golgi Institute had a great international reputation, and marked many fields of biomedical research of the time. With the abandonment of Palazzo Botta as the seat of the University’s biological-medical institutes, the historical heritage of this great era in the history of Pavia’s science has been transformed and has recently become the seat of the Golgi Museum, still in phase of partial preparation. Part of the University Museum System of the University of Pavia, this new museum aims to preserve the material evidence of the work made by Camillo Golgi and to spread the knowledge of its importance in the history of neuroscience, cytology and infectious diseas

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
