Hic leones non sunt. An historical cartographic source for the XIX century ecology, demography and geopolitics of Trentino: the "Carta coro-orografica" by Francesco Masera
No full textIl contributo presenta un documento cartografico poco noto, la Carta coro-orografica, politica, statistica, geognostica, botanica e zoologica del Circolo di Trento, redatto tra il 1868 e il 1870 da Francesco Masera, insegnante di scuola tecnica di Rovereto, e litografato dall’editore locale Zippel. La carta, prevista in 14 fogli, di cui tre effettivamente realizzati, si presenta come un caso peculiare nel panorama italiano, poiché riporta segnati, oltre alla morfologia, all’idrografia e all’insediamento, una serie di informazioni eterogenee, che comprendono tematiche demografiche, storiche, botaniche, zoologiche e agricole. Allo stesso tempo, può essere inserita nel più generale quadro europeo ottocentesco di documentazione geografica delle condizioni storiche e geofisiche di spazi a grande e piccola scala. La carta è stata digitalizzata e geo-referenziata in ambiente GIS, e alcuni dei metadati sono stati vettorializzati e geolocalizzati. La prima parte del contributo illustra le caratteristiche del documento, la simbologia utilizzata e la legenda. La seconda parte si sofferma sulla biografia dell’autore, sui suoi collaboratori e sul contesto di produzione della mappa, cercando di ricostruirne le motivazioni e gli obiettivi sulla base di documenti reperiti in archivi locali e nazionali. La terza parte presenta, utilizzando un doveroso approccio critico, alcuni dei metadati estrapolati dal documento, mostrandone le potenzialità per approfondire la geografia del Trentino ottocentesco in collaborazione con discipline come la storia, l’ecologia e la botanica.The paper presents a little known map, the Carta coro-orografica, politica, statistica, geognostica, botanica e zoologica del Circolo di Trento (1868-18670), produced by Francesco Masera, a technical school teacher from Rovereto, and lithographed by the local publisher Zippel. The map was envisaged in 14 sheets, of which three have been effectively completed. It is a peculiar case in the Italian cartographic framework: in addition to morphology, hydrography and settlement, it contains a series of heterogeneous information, including demographic, historical, botanical, zoological and agricultural data. Moreover, it can be included in the more general European framework of XIX century geographical documentation of historical and geophysical conditions of large and small scale spaces. The map has been digitized and geo-referenced using a GIS software; some of the metadata have been vectorized and geolocated. The first part of the paper illustrates the features of the document, the symbols that were used and the legend. The second part focuses on the author’s biography, on his collaborators and on the context in which the map was produced. Reasons and objectives behind it are reconstructed using documents found in local and National archives. The third part presents, using a critical approach, some of the metadata extracted from the document, showing its potential to shed new light on the geography of nineteenth-century Trentino, in collaboration with disciplines such as history, ecology and botany
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
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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
No full textWe 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
