L'intervista "faccia a faccia" ed il questionario "autosomministrato": due metodi a confronto nella rilevazione della devianza giovanile
No full textWithin the International Comparative Self-Report Delinquency Study an autonomous research has been carried out to compare two different methods of data collection in the field of juvenile delinquency: self-administered questionnaire vs. face-to-face interview. The data point out that both methods give similar results about the number of juveniles who admit their illegal behavior; neverless students show a slight trend to self-report deviant behaviour in face-to-face interview more than in self-administered questionnaires
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
La devianza "nascosta" dei giovani. Una ricerca sugli studenti di tre città italiane
No full textWith the International Comparative Self-Report Delinquency Study a research has been carried out in Italy, interviewing a sample of 1,009 secondary-school students of both sexes, aged from 14 to 19 years, living in Genoa, Messina and Siena. Some information has been obtained about the prevalence of juvenile delinquency, and the connection between sex, age, social class, attachment to school, family environment, youth-parent relationship, parental supervision and self-reported offenses
