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
Linee guida per la progettazione di corsi Mooc: l’esperienza dell’ateneo foggiano
No full textCon la moltiplicazione delle esperienze di progettazione e produzione di Massive Open Online Courses, diventa sempre più urgente la definizione di linee guida specifiche, che possano attivare un dialogo tra atenei e rendere trasparenti e condivisi i criteri di qualità degli stessi corsi. Nell’esperienza dell’Università di Foggia la definizione delle linee guida è avvenuta contestualmente al processo di produzione di 25 Mooc. La descrizione del protocollo di progettazione rappresenta il tema centrale del presente contributo. L’esito del lavoro non è costituito dalle linee guida intese come prodotto finale della complessa azione progettuale, ma dal processo stesso, che ha attivato energie interdisciplinari, azioni collaborative e confronti iterativi, contribuendo a definire strumenti e riferimenti replicabili in altri contesti accademici
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
Un Training attributivo-metacognitivo in piattaforma MOODLE per ragazzi con BES (bisogni educativi speciali)
No full textTra i ragazzi con Bisogni educativi speciali, i soggetti con DSA e/o ADHD presentano particolari problematiche nel corso della loro carriera scolastica, causate da problemi di attenzione e da scarse competenze strategiche e organizzative. Inoltre, una ridotta autostima, una scarsa percezione di autoefficacia e sentimenti di depressione sono alcuni dei tratti comportamentali caratteristici di questi alunni, che ostacolano il loro successo scolastico.
Le nuove tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione (TIC), ed in particolare la modalità e-learning, rivestono un ruolo strategico nell’attivare una didattica (2.0) in grado di facilitare gli apprendimenti di tutti gli studenti e principalmente di quelli con Bisogni educativi speciali (BES), mettendo al centro della pianificazione i loro bisogni formativi, cognitivi e psicosociali.
Sulla base dell'esperienza condotta con un gruppo di ragazzi della scuola in ospedale, è stato attivato un training metacognitivo-attributivo in una Piattaforma Moodle: il percorso on-line ha previsto una programmazione individualizzata, attività collaborative a distanza fruibili anche a casa e la supervisione di un “registra discreto”, per coordinare i lavori, fornire feedback contestuali e responsabilizzare il soggetto, rendendolo parte attiva del percorso. Il progetto di ricerca iniziato nell’a.s. 2014/15 proseguirà anche il prossimo anno
Educare al patrimonio culturale con la Mobile Augmented Reality
No full textThe relationship between augmented reality, mobile learning, gamification and non-formal education methods provide a great potential. The AR-CIMUVE Augmented Reality for the Walled Cities of the Veneto is an original project in collaboration with Italia Nostra and other associations which deal with transmitting our cultural heritage and which teach primary and middle school children the cultural and historical importance of the Veneto’s and the surrounding territories’ walled cities. In this learning experience students will explore how our environment has developed across the ages using the mobile devices with the technical back-up of the AR App. This will allow them to see maps, examine data, 3D models and will enable them to test and improve their skills. From a pedagogical and educational point of view the emphasis is on a constructivist social-cultural approach which helps students to become active citizens more aware of their historical identit
