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

Riqualificazione del litorale e dell'ambiente costiero di Minori. Nuove attrezzature balneari e turistico ricettive sostenibili
No full textThe recovering theme about coast is a very interesting national argument in Campania, for the important
environment and cultural degree about landscape along the regional coast.
Testing a plan takes the problem of the middle town in amalfitana coast near the streams and the main street near
the sea side. Nowadays, the Minori sea-front is take up by a football place, and the beach is broken by an old pier
where arrived the boats.
The purpose is to transform the football place and the traditional bathing-hut in a more complex structure for
summer: reducing all environmental system and save the landscape.
The architectural system is developed in three blocks by different height to link the gap between the beach and
the street to Maiori, to reducing the cubature. It will be utilized a wooden-beam floor. The fixtures and partitions
will be in eco-compatible materials like wood, glass, fibre sweet wood panels and thermosetting resins.
The first and the second places receives the bathing establishment services and the refreshment room. The third
place, where are only the bathing establishment services, is covering by e mobile tensor structure. The curtains
are flexible compound films made of polyester stitch, fibre glass and kevlar, protected by pvc, and ptfe.
It is possible to enter in the trampling covering down by the park where are a little wood open air theatre, long
wood bench and big vases with flowers in it. The pavement is made of wood like the ramps.
Respecting the natural botanic order, have been planted oleander.
The pier linked to the beach is constitute by central body on wood pillar and little side floating pier for the
mooring of the boats. The project originality consists in organize an area really compromise by an embankment
not very conformed to the coast
