La ricerca geografica sull’innovazione e l’informazione: nuovi approcci, ambiti di studio e strumenti di analisi
Full text linkLa rilevanza crescente rivestita dalla ricerca scientifica, dal progresso tecnologico, dall’economia della conoscenza e la diffusione sempre più pervasiva dell’uso di Internet stanno producendo profondi cambiamenti, non solo nel tessuto economico, sociale e culturale, ma anche nelle pratiche quotidiane, nel modo di vivere gli spazi, nelle sfere relazionali, emozionali e narrative che caratterizzano la vita degli individui. Anche i territori si trovano a reagire e a riconfigurarsi, potenziando le attività innovative e la diffusione delle tecnologie, ma anche rispondendo in maniera critica a questi cambiamenti. La geografia, come altre discipline, è chiamata a offrire nuove chiavi di lettura per interpretare il complesso intreccio tra innovazione e territorio, le cui evidenze materiali e immateriali e interconnessioni spaziali e transcalari sono ancora difficili da individuare e interpretare. Questo articolo di apertura vuole mettere in evidenza i nodi principali di questo ambito scientifico, i percorsi di ricerca in atto, come quelli presentati nei vari articoli di questo volume, e le sfide future che i ricercatori di questo gruppo e di altre discipline sono chiamati ad affrontare.The growing relevance of scientific research, technological progress and of the knowledge economy, as well as the increasingly pervasive use of the Internet, are producing deep changes not only in the economic, social and cultural contexts, but also in daily practices and in the way people live the spaces, the relational, emotional and narrative spheres that characterize individual life. Moreover, territories are trying to react and to reshape themselves by enhancing innovative activities, and also critically responding to these changes. Geography, like other disciplines, is expected to offer new perspectives and methodologies to interpret the complex relationship between innovation and territory, whose material and immaterial evidences and spatial and transcalar interconnections are still difficult to be identified and interpreted. This opening paper aims to highlight the main and emerging issues of this field of research, the ongoing projects – such as those presented in the various articles – and the future challenges which researchers of this group and other disciplines are invited to undertake.L’importance croissante de la recherche scientifique, du progrès technologiques et de l’économie de la connaissance, ainsi que l’utilisation de plus en plus répandue d’Internet entraînent de profonds changements, non seulement dans le tissu économique, social et culturel, mais aussi dans les pratiques quotidiennes, dans les modes de vivre les espaces, dans les sphères relationnelles, émotionnelles et narratives qui caractérisent la vie des individus, Même les territoires réagissent et se reconfigurent, renforçant les activités innovantes et la diffusion des technologies, mais aussi réagissant de manière critique à ces changement. La géographie, comme d’autres disciplines, est appelée à proposer de nouvelles perspectives et méthodologies pour interpréter l’interdépendance complexe entre innovation et territoire, dont les évidences matérielles et immatérielles et les interconnexions spatiales et transcalaires sont encore difficiles à identifier et à interpréter. Cet article d’ouverture a pour objectif de mettre en évidence les principaux problèmes de ce domaine scientifique, les recherches en cours, illustrées par les travaux contenus dans le volume, ainsi que les défis futurs auxquels les chercheurs de ce groupe et d’autres disciplines sont appelés traiter
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
