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
Per un’Europa specchio della gente di frontiera. Grytzko Mascioni e il sorriso del mito greco
No full textInternational audienceEurope is one of the greatest collective myths of Western civilization; it is atale continuously revived through contemporary discourse. From the similarities to a jenny that fascinate Zeus to the political narratives that frame Europe as, alternatively, an opportunity, a fraternal community or a limitation to national sovereignty, Europe has never ceased to originate tales. The Swiss-Italianauthor and journalist Grytzko Mascioni, from Valtellina, reinterprets Europe, its origins and its immense potential for contemporaneity in the light of ancient Greek thought. Mascioni appeals to a reappropriation of myths in general, and of muthos in particular, against an overly rigid rule of logos, freeing mythologicalmatter from the monopoly of the technical and the erudite. The author tries toreinforce the concept of Europe with its narrative essence, always renewed andrewritten, and recommends a return to the Greek example as a way to accomplish this: the only unitary tale for a Europe assumed ideally as fragmentary and composed of “frontier men”. In this essay I will establish a dialogue between Mascioni’s writings and those of the scholars he favored – including Hillman,Braudel, Morin, Vernant, Bowra and Snell. His unashamed goal is recovering the archaic smile, a Mediterranean posture of serenity and trust that characterized the statues of the young Kouroi, projected towards the future but very solidly grounded in their present.L’Europa è uno dei più grandi miti collettivi della civiltà occidentale; è un racconto continuamente rivitalizzato attraverso il discorso contemporaneo. Dalle sembianze di giumenta che affascina Zeus alle storie politiche che vedono di volta in volta l’Europa come un’opportunità, una comunità fraterna o una limitazionealla sovranità nazionale, l’Europa non ha mai cessato di provocare dei racconti. L’autore e giornalista valtellinese, svizzero-italiano, Grytzko Mascioni, rilegge l’Europa, le sue origini e il suo immenso potenziale per l’uomo contemporaneoalla luce del pensiero greco antico. Sollecitando una riappropriazione dei mitiin generale, e del muthos in particolare contro un dominio troppo rigido del logo, svincolando la materia mitologica dal monopolio tecnicistico ed erudito ecercando di riancorarla alla sua essenza di narrazione sempre rinnovata e riscritta,Mascioni preconizza un ritorno all’esempio greco, all’unico racconto unitario per un’Europa idealmente assunta come frammentaria e fatta da “uomini difrontiera”. Nel presente saggio faremo dialogare gli scritti di Mascioni con quellidegli studiosi che privilegiava – tra i quali Hillman, Braudel, Morin, Vernant, Bowra e Snell. Il suo obiettivo non dissimulato è il recupero del sorriso arcaico, di quella postura mediterranea di serenità e fiducia che caratterizzava le statue dei giovani kouroi , proiettati nel futuro ma ben solidi nel loro presente

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

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
