    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

    Experimental and modeling study of the soil-atmosphere interaction and unsaturated water flow to estimate the recharge of a phreatic aquifer

    The aquifer system, which is the resource of water for the city of Milano (Italy), is a multilayered aquifer, characterized by sandy and sandy-gravel units, connected by discontinuous aquitards. The recharge area of the phreatic aquifer is close to the prealpine area, some tens of kilometers north of the city; nevertheless the local recharge given by rain infiltration through the soil is not negligible and contributes to the mass balance of the aquifer. A field campaign was carried out for 16 months in the suburban area of the Lambro Park to evaluate the local recharge due to the rainfall infiltration through the unsaturated zone; the water table in this area lies about 15 m below the ground surface. Standard meteorological data (atmospheric pressure, rainfall, humidity, wind velocity and air temperature) were collected, along with incident and net radiation, to evaluate potential and actual evaporation from the bare soil using three methods (Bowen ratio, Penman, and Hamon equations). Simultaneously, the volumetric soil water content at different depths (down to 76 cm) was measured with time domain reflectrometry probes. A finite-difference model, which solves the one-dimensional Richards equation in transient conditions, was developed to simulate the flow through the unsaturated zone, to evaluate the characteristic time of recharge and the mass balance. The water flow rate through the ground surface was assigned as the upper boundary condition and was evaluated from the mass and energy balance at the atmosphere–soil interface with different approaches based on the meteorological data and the actual soil water content. The lower boundary condition is given by the saturation condition at the water table. Characteristic retention curves were estimated in laboratory using Richards apparatus. In order to calibrate the model, the numerical results were compared with experimental data for two different periods: A dry period (July 2001) and a wet period (October 2001). Finally, the calibrated model was used to simulate the infiltration and the flow through the unsaturated zone for a 15-year-long period (1988–2003) and to estimate the total phreatic aquifer recharge. Moreover, the time lag between a variation of the infiltration/exfiltration rate and the corresponding variation of the recharge rate was evaluated; the values of the delay time of recharge are longer than those computed with models that approximate the transmission zone as a unique cell
