Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Obblighi europei, resistenze giurisprudenziali e negazione dei diritti: Contrada è figlio unico
No full textIn sede operativa emerge la pericolosa tendenza a coniare forme di interpretazione giuridica che limitano il riconoscimento di specifici diritti. Qui il rapporto giudice-legge si connota per indebiti espansionismi del formante giudiziario che conducono a svolte autoritarie che traggono probabilmente origine da ideologie specialpreventive non sempre in linea col comando giuridico. E quando ciò accade con riferimento a diritti riconosciuti in sede europea, peraltro affermati anche dalla Carta dei valori, le “libertà” esegetiche generano insubordinazioni e violano quell’obbligo di “massimizzazione” delle tutele conducendo ad un’inaccettabile giustizia del caso singolo in violazione del dovere costituzionale di garantire un’eguaglianza processuale.At the operational level, there is a dangerous tendency to coin forms of legal interpretation that limit the recognition of specific rights. Here the judiciary-law relationship is connoted by undue expansionism of the jurisprudence that leads to authoritarian turning points probably generated by special-preventive ideologies not always in line with legal command. And when this happens with reference to rights recognised at European level, also affirmed by the Charter of Values, exegetic "freedoms" generate insubordination and violation of the obligation of “maximizing” legal protections, leading to an unacceptable single case judgment in violation of the constitutional duty to ensure procedural equalit
L'inutilizzabilità e il male captum bene retentum: vecchie superstizioni e nuove consapevolezze
Get PDFIl tema dell'invalidità derivata del vizio probatorio non può essere affrontato adagiandosi su orientamenti sedimentati. Occorre prendere consapevolezza che con l'art.191 c.p.p. si è fornito un indice ermeneutico del tutto incompatibile con il male captum bene retentum. Il rilievo deriva dalla semplice constatazione che dall'inutilizzabilità, quale vizio funzionale, deriva un divieto d'uso con conseguente impossibilità di ricavare dall'atto viziato momenti conoscitivi.The topic of the derivative invalidity of the evidentiary vice cannot be tackled by resting on sedimented guidelines. It is necessary to be aware that Article 191 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has provided a hermeneutic index that is completely incompatible with the male captum bene retentum. The remark derives from the simple observation that from the non-usability, as a functional defect, derives a prohibition of use with the consequent impossibility of deriving cognitive moments from the vitiated act
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
