Seven years of Design Research At Politecnico di Milano. Analysis of the funded research projects
Full text linkThis book explores the thematic areas addressed by the research in the
Department of Design, obtaining a snapshot of the issues addressed through
funded research, their dimensions and results achieved, as well as their interconnections
to the basic design research topics. The ambition is to build the
research landscape explored by the researchers of the Department through
the access to competitive funds (regional, national and EU) and vice versa
to gain some insights about how themes supported by funded research affect
the basic design research. Starting from the data emerging from the qualitative
analysis of 32 projects (see chapter 2), two are the relevant questions
the book discusses (i) the interactions between the funded research and the
Department research profile and identity and (ii) the interactions between the
funded research and the basic design research topics
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
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
The funded projects of the Department of Design and their interactions with the basic design research
Full text linkThe chapter first describes what is design research and which is the cur- rent landscape at the international level, providing an overview of the re- search activity carried on in the Department of Design to then look into the topics addressed by its funded research. The ambition is to depict the re- search landscape that emerges from the research projects accessed through competitive funds, gaining insights into how the funded research influences the basic research. In this framework, the chapter faces two relevant dimen- sions: (i) the interactions between the funded research and the department re- search profile and identity, and (ii) the relation between the funded research and the basic design research topics, exploring the continuity, discontinuity and interactions among the two strands. The analysis shows discrepancies between areas that the Department covers with its basic research and topics on which it obtains funding and vice versa. The funded research highlights, on the one hand, the occurrence of new areas which go beyond the thematic clusters of the basic research. On the other hand, it also reveals the disap- pearance of traditionally established domains of investigation, opening the discussion on how the research reached advanced levels of conceptualis- ation and specialisation. Ultimately, the chapter discusses how the attraction of funds impacts the Department’s research, refocusing some strands and strengthening its capacity to influence ongoing transformations, leveraging the potential of design
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
