Outward FDI from Italy and its policy context
Full text linkItalian companies started to invest abroad in the 1960s in search of new markets. However,
Italy’s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) performance is quite modest compared with
that of other European Union (EU) countries, mainly due to structural characteristics like the
low number of large firms, the specialization in traditional low- and medium-technology
manufacturing industries and the almost negligible activity in advanced services. The global
economic and financial crisis seriously affected the Italian economy. However, the positive
trend of Italian OFDI was not interrupted, and in 2009 OFDI flows remained stable
compared to 2008. Habitually silent on this policy area in earlier decades, the Italian
Government has recently shown a more favorable stance toward OFDI, introducing specific
policy measures addressed to small and medium-sized enterprises, which have started to
expand strongly abroad – these now constitute almost 90% of Italian multinational
enterprises (MNEs)

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
