    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

    La Tesi è il frutto dello studio dei maggiori contributi nazionali sul tema approfondito e contiene numerosi spunti personali dell’autore sugli argomenti trattati e sulle problematiche attuali di ciascuno di essi, caratterizzandosi per la particolare originalità delle soluzioni proposte. Una prima parte del lavoro è dedicata all’approfondimento della nozione di giudicato penale e dei concetti di teoria generale sul giudicato e sulla sua efficacia nella evoluzione storica; l’analisi passa poi all’individuazione del giudicato penale nel codice del 1988, dei riflessi costituzionali e sovranazionali sulla disciplina del giudicato penale ed il doppio grado di giudizio sul merito, nonché della irrevocabilità della decisione, l’inammissibilità del gravame ed il proscioglimento dell’imputato. La seconda sezione della tesi approfondisce, con dovizia di particolari, il tema della individuazione della latitudine del ne bis in idem. Viene poi analizzata la questione della identità soggettiva quale elemento costitutivo del divieto di doppio giudizio, per passare all’altrettanto fondamentale aspetto della medesimezza del fatto quale oggetto della preclusione giudiziale e l’operatività di questa nelle ipotesi di plurima rilevanza penale del fatto giudicato. Sempre nella corposa seconda parte del lavoro si ritrovano il temi delle conseguenze del mancato rispetto del divieto di doppio giudizio, quello della c.d. sanatoria del giudicato penale e delle relative eccezioni, e quello della ammissibilità del giudicato parziale o progressivo. La sezione si conclude con lo studio delle influenze dell’effetto estensivo dell’impugnazione proposta da altro imputato sulla formazione del giudicato penale e con dei cenni sia sui rapporti tra giudicato, giurisdizioni extrapenali ed efficacia ultrapenale del giudicato penale, sia sul ne bis in idem sovranazionale. La terza parte della tesi che studia gli strumenti codicistici di rimozione del giudicato penale. Ampi spazi sono dedicati al ricorso straordinario ex art. 625-bis c.p.p. (ed ai profili procedimentali dell’istituto), alla revisione del giudicato penale ed, infine, all’incidente di esecuzione ai sensi dell’art. 670 c.p.p. La parte quarta conclusiva del lavoro affronta nell’incipit il rapporto tra la Convenzione europea, le decisioni della Corte europea e l’Ordinamento italiano. Si passa poi all’analisi di due casi studio analizzando le decisioni interne pertinenti. In particolare il lavoro esamina la posizione della Corte di Cassazione italiana sull’affaire Dorigo, passando poi alla verifica dell’incidente di esecuzione quale rimedio esperibile in casi analoghi e relativa conseguenze pratiche. Si studia quindi la ritenuta mancanza di profili di illegittimità costituzionale della disciplina italiana. La tesi passa poi ad analizzare il caso Drassich, l’intervento della Cassazione e la correttezza della scelta dello strumento processuale di cui all’art. 625-bis c.p.p. La parte finale dell’elaborato apre scenari sulla considerazioni possibili, anche alla luce degli spunti legislativi, per rassegnare, infine, brevi ed originali conclusioni.To write the thesis have read the works of authors who have written on this subject; we then studied all the Court's most important Italian and European. Thesis, however, is an original work for the proposed solutions. The first part of the paper examines the traditional concept of res judicata, we then move on to the study of matter in the Criminal Procedure Code in force in Italy. The second part of the thesis analyzes the concept of ne bis in idem, and all the consequences of the passage in res judicata of the trial story. The third part of the thesis looks at the tools for removal of the res judicata under the Italian Criminal Procedure Code, we study the art. 630 c.p.p., art. 625bis c.p.p. and art. 670 c.p.p. The fourth part of the final paper addresses the relationship between the European Convention, decisions of the European Court and the Italian law. We then move to the analysis of two case studies (affaire Dorigo and affaire Drassich). The final section opens the elaborate scenarios on possible considerations, in light of legislative ideas, to resign, finally, short and original conclusions.Dottorato di ricerca in Politiche penali dell'Unione Europea (XXII Ciclo

    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

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
