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
THE KOURIS VALLEY SURVEY PROJECT 2007: METHODOLOGIES AND PRELIMINARY RESULTS
No full textDifferent institutions are involved in the KVSP, such as the Departments of Antiquities
of the Universities of Florence and Chieti, the laboratory of CAAM (Centre of the
Athenaeum for Archaeometry and Microanalysis) of Chieti University, in collaboration
with the Department of Antiquities of Lefkosia and the Archaeological Museums of
Limassol and Episkopi. From the geo-morphological point of view the Kouris valley
represents one of the largest and deepest valleys of the southern areas of Cyprus,
cutting profoundly the limestone ridge belonging to the Trodos mountainous system.
In antiquity the Trodos area has been extremely important for the presence of rich
bronze mines, which have been intensively exploited since the beginning of the Bronze
Age and exported widely in the eastern Mediterranean basin. The Kouris valley,
therefore, with its terraced slopes, offered in antiquity the possibility of an important
natural road network, along several main and secondary tracks following the river
and its secondary valleys, and connecting the Trodos mines with the southern ports
of Cyprus. The aim of the project is the intensive survey of the valley, in order to
reconstruct the mechanisms of settling and the use of the local road network in the
ancient landscape assessment and its changes and evolution from the Bronze Age
to the classical period. Already during the fi rst season, in 2007, the survey is giving
interesting data, which are recorded in real time in a multilayer GIS, employing DGPS
in recording the sites, a magnetometer and a geo-resistivimeter for non invasive geoprospecting
and remote sensing on multispectral high defi nition satellite images
I viaggi degli eroi dall'Egeo all'Adriatico. Progetto di un percorso museale interattivo. L'Adriatico settentrionale e centrale.
No full textQuesto lavoro verte sulla rappresentazione degli eroi epici Antenore e Diomede, il cui mito rivive nei luoghi di culto a loro dedicati nei territoti dell’alto e medio Adriatico situati lungo le più importanti vie commerciali dell’Europa centro-settentrionale (il delta padano, Padova, Abano, Spina, Adria, Ancona). Fonti di natura epica, teatrale, storiografica, geografica, scoliografica greca e latina attestano, per tutto il periodo che va dalle frequentazioni micenee di fine II millennio fino all’età ellenistica e imperiale, la diffusione di miti e culti della grecità, la strumentalizzazione delle saghe eroiche e il loro frequente riuso con finalità propagandistiche ad opera, ad esempio, dei politici ateniesi nel VI-V sec., di Dionisio di Siracusa nel IV e in seguito dell’impero romano. L’articolo costituisce una sezione di un lavoro più ampio che si compone di altre due parti i cui autori, Margherita Jasink e Marco Santucci, coniugano testimonianze archeologiche e storiche che testimoniano la vitalità della cultura greca in queste zone periferiche del Mediterraneo. Nella sua interezza il lavoro si propone come premessa per la realizzazione di un percorso museale interattivo che raccolga i dati archeologici e gli elementi della tradizione letteraria e storica concernenti i rapporti della regione adriatica con l’Egeo
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
