Research and Didactics in Italy: a critic state of art
No full textFollowing the Bologna process and the different education reforms (such as the 2008 “Gelmini” one), in the last decades Italian universities suffered from contractions, reductions and cuts, in terms of faculty personnel, teaching programs and founds for research. This poster suggests a critic interpretation of the official data (furnished by Italian Ministry of Education “MIUR”), considering a survey conducted in 2016 between geographers (thanks to the coordination of Italian Geographer Association “AGEI”), in order to present: the real entity of the faculty working in geography and the scrawny teaching programs dedicated to the discipline among the three cycles of higher education. Furthermore, the study aims to focus on the production in geography considering its thematic areas, the interdisciplinary approaches and the international research groups. All these aspects reveal that apart from the financial problems that have negative impacts on production and reproduction of knowledge, the Italian geographic scientific community still resists and promotes this science in a very fruitful way, even in a hostile context

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
