    Cicerone incontra Euporia

    Full text link
    Il contributo presenta due progetti: EuporiaRhetorica e il Digital Lexicon of Ancient Rhetoric (DiLAR). Il DiLAR si propone di creare un lessico della terminologia retorica latina e greca a partire dall’annotazione dei testi. EuporiaRhetorica è lo strumento, sviluppato da Federico Boschetti, con cui gli autori stanno procedendo all’annotazione dei testi retorici che andranno a costituire il DiLAR. Il metodo Euporia richiede una Context-Free Grammar per definire il linguaggio formale di annotazione; un parser per interpretare il linguaggio e rappresentare la sua struttura ad albero (AST: Abstract Syntax Tree); un visitor che attraversi ciascun nodo dell’albero per compiere delle operazioni o per serializzare il linguaggio in un diverso formato. In particolare, il contributo intende evidenziare i vantaggi del metodo Euporia applicato all’annotazione di testi a livello tematico e lessicale attraverso il caso di studio dei testi retorici di Cicerone e della Rhetorica ad Herennium.This contribution presents two projects: EuporiaRhetorica and the Digital Lexicon of Ancient Rhetoric (DiLAR). DiLAR aims at creating a lexicon of Latin and Greek rhetorical terminology from the annotation of texts. EuporiaRhetorica is the tool developed by Federico Boschetti, by which the authors are proceeding with the annotation of the rhetorical texts that will constitute the DiLAR. The Euporia method firstly requires a context-free grammar to define the formal annotation language. Secondly, it needs a parser to interpret the language and represent its tree structure (AST: Abstract Syntax Tree). Finally, Euporia requires a visitor to pass through each tree node to perform operations or serialize the language differently. In particular, the contribution highlights the advantages of the Euporia method applied to the annotation of texts at the thematic and lexical level through the case study of Cicero’s rhetorical texts and the Rhetorica ad Herennium

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
