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
Design-driven approach for Maker practices. A tool proposal for proximity-based projects in urban context
No full textFaced with the series of recent global crisis, from the lowering of the resources to the most recent global changes usual model of consumption and production, many practices implemented so far, are undergoing a radical shift from a quantitative approach towards a systemic and qualitative approach in which enabling technologies, citizen empowerment and new urban models are opening to global directives towards more sustainable and resilient, while productive cities. The Research is structured in a series of iterative Action Research activities carried in the city of Rome, focusing on three layers of analysis: the Technology, which increasing social role enabled the birth of alternative economic models and collaborative culture; the Community, as the hybrid set of manufacturers, designers, artisans, citizens and cradle of new forms of self-organization; The City, as the habitat capable of optimizing infrastructural, economic and ecological resources in a distributed and interconnected ecosystem. Through the analysis of each layer, the Research proposes a hyper-local tool that supports the birth and spread of urban community-based projects. This tool would enable bottom-up initiatives that respond to specific needs and help develop new economies, while top-down initiatives from government administrations will generate proposals that precisely address community needs. Findings will provide insights for policymakers, urban planners, makers, designers and citizens to design and advocate sustainable urban development models and thriving neighborhoods
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
Le donne dell’Aiap delle origini. Professioniste e pioniere (Women in Aiap’s early days. Professionals and pioneers)
No full textLa presenza femminile in seno alle associazioni professionali del design grafico e della comunicazione più in generale si registra fin dalle origini, in numeri ovviamente crescenti dall’immediato dopoguerra a oggi, in linea con l’evoluzione sociale e culturale del paese. L'osservazione dell'evoluzione della principale associazione di categoria, l'Aiap (oggi Associazione italiana design della comunicazione visiva) nel confermare tale tendenza, consente di ricercare e riscoprire da un lato i profili di alcune figure che possono essere considerate come delle pioniere e dall'altro di rileggerne criticamente i contributi anche in una ottica più ampia di interpretazione storica
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
