Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Il paesaggio culturale di Matera - Basilicata 2019 attraverso la letteratura del passato: un progetto di rete dei parchi letterari lucani tra cultura e turismo / The cultural landscape of Matera-Basilicata 2019 through the literature of the past: a network project between culture and tourism of Basilicata's literary parks
No full textUn'ampia riflessione geografica e filosofica tende a collocare il paesaggio all'incrocio tra natura e cultura: Turri (1998) sostiene, infatti, che il paesaggio non può essere un’entità a sé, ma è portatore di un’identità determinata dall’attività umana. Il paesaggio è, dunque, una rappresentazione che si situa all'incrocio tra un’impostazione oggettiva della realtà materiale e un orientamento percettivo e soggettivo dello sguardo. La letteratura prodotta in Basilicata nel corso del '900 ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nell'orientare lo sguardo sulla regione.
In questo particolare momento in cui la designazione di Matera Capitale Europea della Cultura nel 2019 rappresenta una "promesse du bonheur" per tutta la Basilicata, l'ente regione sta sviluppando un progetto per collegare il cammino verso il 2019 a una rete di parchi letterari lucani con l'intento di realizzare un articolato sistema diffuso e integrato delle fondazioni e dei parchi letterari che possa diventare rete di opportunità per gli operatori del settore, per il turismo culturale e per la qualità della vita dei territori.
There is a wide-ranging geographical and philosophical: Turri (1998) argues that landscape cannot be an entity in its own right; rather, it possesses an identity determined by human activity. Landscape is therefore a representation that results from an objective formulation of material reality and from the perceptual and subjective orientation of the eye. Literature made in Basilicata has allowed landscape to be reenvisioned and depicted, while contributing to the definition of some of its main characteristics .
At this particular moment in which the designation of Matera European Capital of Culture in 2019 is a "promesse du bonheur" for the Basilicata, the Region is developing a project to link Matera 2019 to a network of Basilicata literary parks with the aim of realizing an articulated widespread and integrated system of foundations and literary parks to enhance the opportunities for the tourism operators, for cultural tourism and the quality of life of the territories
The Impact of European Capital of Culture on Tourism and Local Involvement: Matera 2019 Case Study

No full textA classical definition of landscape is “nature perceived through a culture”. On the “historicity” of the landscape, some authors have underlined the cinema’s capacity to register the transformations of the territory and, at the same time, to direct the gaze on it. Since the end of the Second World War, the Basilicata region has been a film location; more than forty full length movies have been shot in Basilicata. Most of them, from The Gospel According to St. Matthew by Pier Paolo Pasolini to Christ stopped at Eboli by Francesco Rosi, have shown the misery and the backwardness of Basilicata, inspired by the works of some authors as Carlo Levi and Ernesto De Martino. In the last years, Basilicata has been the location of some worldwide box office hits: The Passion, Ben Hur, Wonder Woman. The paper presents a project of film routes, developed by Basilicata Region, Eni Enrico Mattei Foundation, Gal Bradanica, and Osservatorio del Cineturismo aiming at make available the cinematic landscapes.Une définition classique de paysage est « la nature perçue à travers une culture ». A propos de l’ « historicité » du paysage, certains auteurs ont souligné la capacité du cinéma à enregistrer les transformations du territoire et, en même temps, à diriger le regard vers lui. Depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la région de la Basilicate est devenue un lieu de tournage de films. Plus de quarante longs métrages ont été tournés en Basilicate. La plupart d’entre eux, de L’Evangile selon saint Matthieu de Pier Paolo Pasolini au Christ s’est arrêté à Eboli de Francesco Rosi, inspirés par les travaux de certains auteurs tels que Carlo Levi et Ernesto De Martino, ont montré la misère et le retard de la Basilicate. Au cours des dernières années, la Basilicate a été le théâtre de nombreux succès mondiaux du box-office : The Passion, Ben Hur, Wonder Woman. Cette note présente un projet d’itinéraire filmique, développé par la région Basilicate, la Fondation Eni Enrico Mattei, Gal Bradanica et le Osservatorio del Cineturismo, dans le but de rendre disponibles les paysages cinématographiques
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
