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
Museum accessibility: a managerial perspective on digital approach
No full textAccessibility to museums is one of the cornerstones of a modern museum enhancement, a feature highlighted by many policy makers, which also translates as a greater openness to different museum audiences. Among these public, the one represented by vulnerable people is linked to a precise management, based mainly on the removal and overcoming of physical and sensory barriers and on the use of the experience related to the works. In the museum field, the pandemic has accelerated the processes of digitization, leading many companies to develop strategies and practices to make their heritage accessible also at the digital level. This work emphasizes that this greater accessibility to museums linked to digital, is not limited only to a process of reproduction of works or places but increases the experience of the visit with additional information that is integrated with the basic experience, enabling the user to active value co-creation processes regarding the visit experience. A qualitative data analysis was carried out by using a multiple case study, analyzing top museums to understand which are the main digital strategies to improve accessibility to the most fragile public and what impact these strategies can have on management: to do this, a logic of repetition, in order to highlight the differences and similarities. These findings contribute to a better understanding of accessibility in cultural institutions and a series of managerial implications are proposed
How management uses AI in the museum field: From chatbots towards chatGTP
No full textArtificial intelligence is an innovative tool with considerable potential. In the cultural sector, the use of new technologies translates into the definition and design of a cultural offer based on the components of interactivity and customization. In this direction are inserted the Technological Advances through which the visitors of Cultural Sites can dialogue with deep learning inspired chatbot software, ask for information and even suggestions on the Cultural Experience. The aim of this work is to explore the use that cultural organisations, and in particular museums, make of Chatbot technology, in order to understand if this tool can be effective in enhancement and fruition museum management. To achieve this goal, the strategic choices by a selection of case studies were analysed. From the analysis carried out, the use of Chatbot technology appears to bring the museum audience closer, involving them in the museum narrative thanks to the possibility of making autonomous choices and providing important information on public behavior to management. The future application of elaborate AIs such as GTP chat may offer food for thought on how these processes will be automated and become increasingly efficient
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
Tourism Startups: fresh evidence by a systematic review
Full text linkThere has been a growing interest in start-up companies and their potential to disrupt traditional industries in recent years. At the same time, the spread of tourism and the new forms of its provision require increasingly innovative and disruptive business ideas. Therefore, it seems appropriate to cross the two topics of start-up and tourism. This paper aims to provide a systematic literature review (SR) on tourism start-ups through a detailed and replicable process for analysis to examine the role and impact of tourism start-ups in the global tourism industry. The review begins by exploring the definition and classification of tourism start-ups, highlighting their distinctive features and entrepreneurial skills. It then delivers the results of a subsequent SR that shows various theoretical and empirical frameworks that indicate the need for further study with on-field research. The review methodology of this work has two preparatory phases. The first phase concerns a generic look at the most evident literature to identify variables to implement a systematic review process through R Studio software. Through this investigation, the authors attempt to provide scholars and practitioners with signs of how start-ups are emerging in the tourist business and input for future research
