Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Play Lelio Swing
No full textNel contesto della Mostra dedicata al Maestro Lelio Luttazzi visitabile a Roma al Museo dei Fori Imperiali - Mercati di Traiano e' stata realizzata una installazione multimediale interattiva che permette al visitatore di suonare insieme al maestro. Specificamente il visitatore, semplicemente alzando le braccia e simulando nell’aria il gesto di suonare sulla tastiera proiettata sul grande schermo di fronte a lui, attiva un meccanismo che gli permette di scegliere un ambito artistico tra jazz, canzoni e duetti, accompagnando Lelio nel video che verrà trasmesso
Marsili's Spirit: the App (available on the App Store)
No full textQuali sono le grandi scoperte di Luigi Ferdinando Marsili? Esploratore, soldato, scienziato, Marsili ha attraversato la storia con uno spirito avventuroso e innovatore. Lo stesso che Marsili’s Spirit, app per iPhone e iPad geolocalizzata, celebra. Realizzata dall’Università di Bologna, la più antica del mondo, quest’app si attiva nei pressi dei musei del capoluogo emiliano che conservano tracce marsiliane svelando contenuti inediti, in un’esperienza immersiva tra realtà e fantasia. Cinque luoghi diversi e cinque emozioni dove, tra fumetti, musiche, opere originali e tracce audio, il visitatore potrà aumentare la sua conoscenza del grande Marsili in un modo coinvolgente. La app e’ completamente fruibile al di fuori di Bologna, mentre all’interno di Bologna i contenuti speciali si attivano in prossimita’ dei musei del capoluogo.
What are the major discoveries of Luigi Ferdinando Marsili? Explorer, soldier, scientist, Marsili has lived his life with an adventurous spirit and an innovative mind. The same that Marsili’s Spirit, a location-aware app for iPhone and iPad, celebrates. Produced by the University of Bologna, the oldest in the world, this app becomes active near the museums of Bologna that preserve traces of Marsili’s work, revealing previously unpublished content that spreads vibrant energy, in an immersive reality and fantasy. Five different places and five different emotional experiences where, among motion comics, music, original artwork and audio tracks, visitors will be able to expand their knowledge of the great Marsili in an engaging way. All content is completely available when outside of Bologna, while inside Bologna special features are activated only near the museums

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
