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
Construction management of cultural heritage. Conservation of cultural heritage during its construction site stage. Building information modelling supporting on site information collection and management for cost control
No full textDOTTORATO-Cultural heritage preservation and management is a complex domain, to which numerous and very diverse disciplines contribute specific, crucial competencies. Hence, cultural heritage represents a highly valuable experimental field, in which innovative management models and tools to govern complexity in general can be designed. Despite that, this perspective of cultural heritage management seems more foster at the level of academic instead of workplace. Moreover, this topic is more crucial on the Italian territory due to its history and the abundance of heritage buildings.
The whole construction sector is affected by a consequent loss in information and knowledge between the different stages of the life of a building. The trend entails an increase of costs and a waste of time to recover all this information. This issue is more critical and crucial with regards to the built environment, especially when involves conservation projects of a heritage building. Indeed, the knowledge of the building has to be recovered, implemented and continuously update, to be conducted to posterity.
Due to its’ multidisciplinary and organizational nature, Information technology (IT) is now used as an instrument in the AECO industry to reduce some of the problems generated by its fragmentation. The most disruptive one is Building Information Modelling (BIM), a tool that allows a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility (digital twin). However, BIM for heritage assets (historic buildings and sites) is relatively new field and appears less popular in terms of adoption by heritage professionals.
The research proposes a BIM-based approach for cultural heritage project in order to manage the construction stage of a conservation project. In particular, the research defines a proper protocol to deal with all information turn up during the construction site for a correct planned conservation.
This research focuses on the benefits that new technologies could bring to handle the construction process directly in the field. The scope of the research is to develop a new framework to gather all information from construction site via new technologies. The aim is to improve an accurate supervision of the site activities, to pursue a proper project control of construction stage, especially regarding the cash flow. In particular, this research work would support the Public Administration to improve and implement its actual procedures employing technologies already in use, for the cost management during construction site.
The research seeks to strengthen precise protocols related to construction site activities regarding cultural heritage project in order to collect and manage all information required for the drafting of demanded documentation by Italian standard (scientific report for planned conservation) and create a unique knowledge repository of the cultural artefact, useful for the following usage and maintenance phase.DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA, INGEGNERIA DELLE COSTRUZIONI E AMBIENTE COSTRUITO32SCAIONI, MARCOSCAIONI, MARC
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
