    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

    Evolution and perspectives on intercultural coexistence at the Slovene-Italian border

    No full text
    After the Slovene accession to the EU, the Slovene-Italian border has formally lost its purpose. The local population may notice the absence of border customs checkpoints, yet a year later the increased presence of border police cannot be overlooked. The border between the two states therefore not only remains obvious because of long queues of vehicles waiting to cross it or the presence of the police but also because of the historical memory and experience in the minds of people that cannot simply be forgotten. As expected, we will need 'something more' than the formal dissolution of political boundaries and formalized cross-border cooperation in the form of European Interreg and other project initiatives to reduce the gap between the Italian and Slovene cultural spaces

    GIS-BASED CELL MODEL FOR SIMULATING DEBRIS FLOW ROUTING AND DEPOSITION PHASES ON A FAN

    No full text
    A GIS-based cell model is proposed for the simulation of the routing and deposition phases of debris flow on a fan. Flow pattern is discretized by square cells, 2m size, which coincide with the DEM cells and the mixture is assumed a monophasic continuum. Flow exchange between adjacent cells is ruled by uniform flow or broad-crested weir laws and by continuity equation. Flow occurs from cells with higher surface to those with lower surface and is simulated by uniform flow law if the elevation of the formers is higher than the latter and by broad-crested weir law otherwise. Erosion and deposition are simulated using the empirical law of Egashira, adjusted for monophasic continuum. The cell model is used to simulate debris flow occurred on Rio Lazer (Dolomites, Eastern Italian Alps) the 4th of November 1966. The same event was also simulated using Flo-2D model for a comparison with a widely used model for debris flow simulation. Results of the two simulations were compared with extension of deposition area and the map of measured depths of deposited sediments. Both the model simulate quite well the extent of deposition area, whereas the deposited debris depths are better simulated by the cell model

    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
