Soundscape as a Tool for Place-Making in Industrial Heritage Sites
Full text linkSoundscape plays a crucial role in place-making at industrial heritage sites, enhancing visitors' understanding of the site's heritage value. This study investigates public attitudes towards industrial heritage site soundscapes and analyzes the impact of sound-based place-making, using the Museum of Industrial Heritage in Bologna, Italy as a case study. Field research and questionnaires were employed to gather data. Findings reveal a positive reception among the public towards soundscape design in heritage sites, highlighting its numerous advantages. Soundscapes not only enhance visitors' perceptions and attractiveness of heritage sites but also establish a sensory connection between individuals and the heritage environment. Moreover, soundscapes enrich the visitor experience by simulating authentic sounds, creating an immersive atmosphere, and deepening the sense of presence. To facilitate effective soundscape design, a design strategy for industrial heritage sites is proposed. It emphasizes public perception, interactive elements, control of decibels and disturbances, and the creation of rich and realistic soundscapes. The empirical analysis underscores the positive influence of soundscapes on place-making in industrial heritage sites, reinforcing the connection between tangible and intangible heritage while preserving authenticity and integrity
Identification and Analysis of Critical Success Factors and Success Criteria for Conservation and Reuse of Architectural Heritage
No full textThis paper investigates critical success factors (CSFs) and success criteria (SC) for the conservation and reuse of the architectural heritage (CRAH), based on the principles of International Charters. The use of success factors and criteria derives form constrcution management but it can be applied to the field of architectural conservation. The study therefore aims to identify the CSFs and SCs that mainly contribute to the success of conservation and reuse projects in the architectural field. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, as well as questionnaires with experts and stakeholders, principles and actions were analyzed to determine the importance of these variables in determining project success. The results of the study highlight the principles of integrity, authenticity, preservation of the original character, and sustainability as the most significant success criteria for the assessment of conservation and reuse projects. The main identified critical success factors were instead legislative protection, regular monitoring checks, and complete financial support. The analysis leads to the conclusion that adherence to the principles and methods of International Charters can inform and contribute to the success of conservation and reuse projects for historic buildings in a medium and long time perspective
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
