    I like non sono voti? La campagna sui social nelle europee 2019

    No full text
    I like non sono voti. Tuttavia i social network sono oggi un dispositivo cruciale della campagna elettorale. Sono i nodi nevralgici dell’autopromozione del leader e, di riflesso, del partito che rappresentano: con la strategia social i leader non solo entrano in relazione diretta con la comunità di riferimento, la coinvolgono e la mobilitano, ma sempre di più condizionano i processi di agenda-building, al fine di influire sulle coperture mediatiche mainstream della campagna elettorale. I social network, per certi versi, sono il timone della campagna elettorale digitale. Le piattaforme sociali svolgono quindi una funzione fondamentale di autopromozione sia in chiave di rapporto diretto con la fanbase, sia di condizionamento dell’agenda mediatica e giornalistica. il contributo analizza l'uso dei social media da parte dei principali leader politici italiani durante la campagna elettorale per le elezioni Europee201

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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

    Smartphone e mobilitazioni sociali: i counterpublics nella sfera pubblica

    Tramite lo sviluppo di questa tesi si è cercato di approfondire diverse teorie che possono fornire una spiegazione dell’importanza dei dispositivi mobile nelle società civili, come questi dispositivi incidano nelle mobilitazioni sociali e quali siano le caratteristiche principali di questi strumenti che ampliano la gamma di azioni a disposizione dei manifestanti. L’inizio dell’analisi non sarebbe possibile senza richiamare concetti e approcci specifici in grado di costituire un contesto analitico utile a comprendere le caratteristiche delle società democratiche moderne. L’approccio della post democrazia di Crouch (2004) permette di analizzare il declino dei sistemi democratici, l’apatia e la passività dei cittadini nei confronti della politica. Gli approcci di Rosanvallon (2012) e Keane (2009), che contestano la teoria della post democrazia, evidenziano la nascita di nuove forme di partecipazione politica. Questa contestualizzazione consente di introdurre uno dei concetti più innovativi di questa tesi, fortemente critico nei confronti del discorso egemone dell’opinione pubblica: i contropubblici (Negt and Kluge 1979; Fraser 1990). Grazie alla trasformazione democratica e alle nuove tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione, i contropubblici possono mobilitarsi, esprimere le loro opinioni e partecipare alla vita politica (Calhoun 1992; Fraser 1990; Negt and Kluge 1979). Il ruolo emergente dei telefoni cellulari e l’Internet mobile nelle diverse mobilitazioni sociali in tutto il mondo, consente di qualificarli come i principali mezzi di comunicazione alternativi utilizzati dai contropubblici, malgrado i divari digitali ancora presenti nelle società contemporanee (Pearce and Rice 2013; van Dijk 2005; Selwyn 2004)
