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
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
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
From "definitive" to "reversible" architecture
No full textHow is a project born in relation to the built?
This seemingly simple question implies complex answers and not always completely exhaustive for that very often you have to train the mind to new types of approaches so as to make the "answer" innovative, and be able to address all the issues, social, formal and environmental aspects more easily, especially in relation to the existing building. The type of modality I propose is that of intervention on the existing through installations, which, by their nature, are modular, removable and easily recyclable and overlap the already made, reducing waste and respecting the pre-existing structures.
This approach can be divided into two categories: "definitive" and "reversible" interventions. Among the first is the restoration of Liliana Grassi in the courtyard of the icehouse of the Ospedale Maggiore in Milan, where the new intervention is clearly distinguished from the pre-existing one. Or the intervention of Carlo Scarpa at the Castelvecchio Museum where the architect restores the entire factory and designs the exhibition apparatus harmoniously integrating it with the context, through a deep study of pre-existence.
Another significant work is that of Ezio De Felice at the Archaeological Museum of Salerno, composed of a steel structure that supports the ancient architectural system, transforming it into an exhibition object. Integration tends to create an innovative and modern space while preserving purely historical elements.
As for "reversible" interventions, we can mention the projects of Franco Albini, such as the exhibition of Italian Contemporary Art in Stockholm (1953) or the Montecatini stand with Franca Helg (1961). In these cases, the use of lightweight and removable frames allows a temporary interaction and thus respecting with the built space.
Adaptation and reversibility make it possible to regenerate the degraded built with limited resources, returning a new function, even if temporary. This approach makes it possible to design in an agile, sustainable and context-sensitive way, offering formal and environmental solutions in continuous evolution
In opposizione. Dialogo ideale tra Scarpa e Albini
No full textNella storia della pratica allestitiva, come propensione volta all’accomodamento dello spazio costruito, l’opposizione archetipica del Novecento si reifica nell’incontro/scontro tra il lavoro di Carlo Scarpa e quello di Franco Albini: due protagonisti della scena museale che operavano con approcci diametralmente opposti.
Il primo progettava allestimenti concentrati sull’enfasi della bellezza degli oggetti ma, al tempo stesso, lavorava sulla loro integrazione in armonia con il contesto. Un esempio rilevante è il lavoro che Scarpa ha realizzato al museo di Castelvecchio a Verona, dove restaura la fabbrica e si occupa di come esporre le opere al suo interno.
Franco Albini, invece, interveniva sullo spazio in maniera non definitiva e attraverso degli allestimenti leggeri, modulari e modulabili in funzione delle necessità. Nel suo caso il rispetto per il “contenitore” passava tutto dalla estrema reversibilità dell’oggetto che aggiungeva. L’utilizzo di telai in ferro smontabili sia nella mostra di Arte Contemporanea italiana a Stoccolma nel 1953 che allo stand di Montecatini, con Franca Helg, per la fiera campionaria di Milano del 1961; dimostra questa attitudine reversibile.
L’archetipo dell’opposto, perciò, può vivere in queste due modalità che si confrontano con l’indispensabile volontà di agire sull’esistente, senza escludersi necessariamente a vicenda, ma è proprio l’interpolazione formale dei due approcci a trasformare l’opposizione pragmatica in un incontro prolifico
