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
Analytical representation of architectural built heritage. A Sketch-to-Bim approach
Full text linkHBIM methodology is increasingly used for the management of all aspects of architectural heritage, from survey and analysis to
conservation, management and restoration issues.
Application of HBIM are the so-called Scan-to-BIM processes in which the artifact is surveyed with digital techniques of laser
scanning and photogrammetry. These techniques result in point clouds, the basis of the subsequent process of informative and
geometric modelling of the artifact. The resulting "smart models" are composed of parametric objects rich in information that can be
easily updated at any time.
The proposed methodology aims at integrating a study of architectural orders, whose results become preparatory to the subsequent
phases of survey and modeling, to the classic Scan-to-BIM workflows. In particular, in the modeling these results have allowed a
more targeted choice of techniques used.
The method has been applied to the atrium of the former Jesuit College of Santa Croce in Cagliari, which today hosts one of the seats
of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Cagliari; in particular, the atrium of the east body of the former
Jesuit College, designed by the Piedmontese architect Antonio Felice De Vincenti, has been modelled

Virtual environments to communicate built cultural heritage: a HBIM based virtual tour
Full text linkHBIM methodology is nowadays widely used for the management of all aspects of architectural heritage, from survey to analysis, up
to protection and management issues. This interest is due to the potential that HBIM methodology offers in terms of collection,
processing, management and sharing of information, through a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach. Practical
application of HBIM are the Scan-to-BIM processes, i.e. the digital reproduction of architectures starting from survey methodologies
based on laser scanning and photogrammetry.
An increasingly frequent application of HBIM models is their integration in game engines for educational or communicative
purposes. Actually, examples of AR and VR applications, serious games or virtual tours employing such models are increasingly
frequent. Indeed, such tools allow the generation of virtual immersive environments in which the user is free to navigate or interact
with objects. The use of virtual environments that reproduce real places or architectures, is able to generate new attraction and
interest in users, while facilitating immaterial accessibility and, allowing a dynamic formulation of content, greater ease of
understanding and reading calibrated to the user. The paper aims at the development of a virtual tour set entirely in the former
Jesuitical Complex of Santa Croce, located in the historical district of Castello in Cagliari. This tour will be a potential tool to
support the understanding and communication of historic architecture by going to the virtual accessibility of the complex
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
Crisi finanziaria, governo delle banche e sistemi di amministrazione e controllo
No full textIl saggio, dopo avere sottolineato la scarsa correlazione esistente tra l’adozione di particolari modelli di governance e la crisi che ha colpito le istituzioni finanziarie, si sofferma sulle nuove regole introdotte all’interno dell’Unione Europea e nell’ordinamento Italiano per correggere alcuni problemi di corporate governance che la crisi ha fatto emergere.
Dopo aver analizzato in una prospettiva generale il tema della remunerazione dei managers, soffermandosi in particolare sulle norme di recente introduzione nell’ordinamento tedesco, il saggio approfondisce la disciplina delle politiche di remunerazione nel settore bancario, esaminando i principi enunciati dal FSB, il Regolamento della Commissione n. 2010/76/CE in materia di remuneration policies e le guidelines elaborate dal CEBS.
Il saggio prosegue sottolineando come la crisi finanziaria abbia messo in evidenza l’opportunità di introdurre regole più rigorose in tema di governance bancaria al fine di garantire un più adeguato controllo dei rischi, ed evidenzia le proposte regolamentari che rivalutano il ruolo dei soci istituzionali investitori di lungo periodo come efficace strumento di governance.
L'ultima parte dello scritto è dedicata agli interventi della Banca d’Italia in materia di governo societario delle banche
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
