I periodici elettronici in biblioteca: nuova frontiera o terra promessa? Bologna, 28 febbraio 2000
Get PDFE-journals are a very topical subject, considered - in our framework - with a mix of enthusiasm and concern; on one hand there's the enthusiasm for media and technologies more and more in the van and more and more close to research needs, on the other there's the consciousness that in our country some contexts are still too far from these settings. Among the topics covered at the conference: the existing deviation – at least in our Italian outline – between the materials offered by the market and the objective difficulties that libraries have to cope with; organizing/management problems and cooperative settings of library systems in front of the new reality of electronic journals; the old role of the 'serials librarian' who can and must survive this "electronic revolution", provided that this figure is supported by collaboration, coordination and communication with the whole organization that gravitates around him; the future trends in the publishing market; the peer-reviews problem; the role of the author in the scholarly community. Moreover two Italian experiences were illustrated: CIBER (Coordinamento Interuniversitario Basi Dati & Editoria in Rete) and that one by University of Bologna Biomedical Library about the indexing of about 170 e-journals
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
La ricerca in rete: introduzione alle risorse Internet per l’economia. Roma, 8 giugno 2000 [Italian]
Get PDFThe seminar, with the participation of many librarians from Chamber of commerce, private organizations and Universities, had the aim to supply notions, techniques and cognitive basis tools to the search of economic information on Internet, a new tool in the librarian’s reference activity
Il servizio di reference nell'era digitale. Bologna, 30 novembre-1 dicembre 2000
Get PDFA really interesting occasion: in the past there had been many meetings about topics related to digital libraries and similar subjects, but a conference being so specifically tailored on reference service was never organized. The scope of the conference was defining the state of art in the Italian situation, old and new problems, and above all the settings that we are to live in the new libraries reality. Presentations were held by: R. Ridi, A. Tammaro, S. Minetto, V. Comba, G. Mazzitelli, P. Gargiulo, E. Boretti, A. Galluzzi, D. Bogliolo, F. Benedetti, R. Pensato, P. Bellettini, A. Zucchini, M. D'Urso, C. Crivello, A. Agnoli, G. Riccò, A. Marchesi, A. De Robbio and L. Crocetti
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
