    ABSTRACT Quanto si espone focalizza l’attenzione sulle processualità formative e trasformative di contesti urbani e paesaggistici interessati da presenze archeologiche che ne connotano l’importante stratificazione storica. Particolare attenzione viene posta su quei centri ove non sia possibile segnalare soluzioni di continuità, nei quali risulta complesso eseguire campagne di scavo che facilitino la lettura stratigrafica, da qui la necessità di mettere appunto una metodologia di lettura non distruttiva. Il contesto preso in considerazione è il paesaggio messapico, con il caso di Oria, lungo la via Appia, sull’asse Taranto-Brindisi, esempio paradigmatico di organismi a forte vocazione archeologica. Le analisi effettuate attraverso una puntuale ricerca di fonti edite e inedite, le osservazioni dirette sul campo, l’interpretazione di tutti i dati raccolti, sono finalizzate a una sintesi in grado di cogliere e comprendere le peculiarità da tutelare. Attraverso lo studio di alcuni esempi, come la formazione di percorsi, la costruzione di fortificazioni, letti alle diverse scale, e con uno sguardo multidisciplinare, s’intende giungere all’elaborazione di linee-guida utili all’individuazione di strategie condivise di conservazione e valorizzazione di centri storici caratterizzati da elevate presenze stratigrafiche, dove l’istanza estetica e quella storica convivono in un binomio indissolubile.ABSTRACT One focuses attention on the formative and transformative processuality of urban areas and landscapes affected by archeological findings that connote important historical stratification. Particular attention is given to those centers where it is not possible to indicate continuity solutions, for which it is complicated to carry out excavations that facilitate a stratigraphical reading, hence the need to put into place a methodology for non-destructive reading. The context considered is the Messapiian landscape, with the case of Oria along the Appian Way, along the Taranto-Brindisi axis – a paradigmatic example of organisms with a strong archaeological vocation. The analysis carried out through meticulous research of published and unpublished sources, direct observations in the field, and interpretation of all collected data is finalized into a synthesis which is able to collect and understand the particularities to be safeguarded. Through the study of several examples, such as the formation of routes, the construction of fortifications, readings of different scales, and with a multidisciplinary look, one intends to reach the elaboration of guidelines useful to identify shared strategies of conservation and valorization of historic centers, characterized by high stratigraphic presence, where the aesthetic and the historical live together in an indissoluble binomial

    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

    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

    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
