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 information architecture of a high quality Web site for the Public Administration
No full textThe design of a high quality Web site depends on various factors, such as the will to respect the existing law in force, the know-how and the delicacy of those who in various ways contribute to the design and the implementation of the structure and the contents, and last but certainly not least, the availability of the customer to recognize the importance of quality from a purely economic point of view. This research aims to define a quality taxonomy of the Web sites for the Public Administration; a taxonomy that allows the production of Web pages easy to learn, easy to use, efficient in terms of intellectual effort required to understand and use them, and effective: that is to say, that produce exactly the required results, nothing less and certainly nothing different (Nielsen, Designing Web Usability, 2000). A taxonomy that contributes to reduce one of the most significant bottleneck for the use of applications in the ICT environment: the user interface. This research represents the first step towards the definition of the taxonomy defining the information architecture of a Web site for the Public Administration
Open Source Learning Management Systems, a comparison experience
No full textIn CCCT 2003 International
Conference [1], on July 2003, the research
group has analysed the man-machine interaction
among three CMS nuke-based platforms widely
circulated.
One year later the same methodology, based
on the analysis of the interaction with some
determined systems from different typologies of
users, is proposed to compare three Learning
Management Systems (ATutor, Dokeos, Moodle)
applied to the content management over the web.
The goal is to locate the LMS to integrate on the
portal of the Faculty of Economy, that will be
used by aid to the traditional courses, masters
and high education learning paths
